October will be my second month. I had far too many pass days in September and it was generally quite a difficult month for me, but the daily check-ins definitely helped. I also had too many binge eating days so having fewer in October is one of my main goals! I'm currently travelling and can't weigh - before I left I'd lost close to two kgs (in the first three weeks of sept), but I suspect some of that may have been regained. We shall see on Monday. 😬
Welcome to all the newbies!2 -
Hello everyone.
Welcome all who are new or are returning. I am looking forward to going through the month of October with everyone.
I reside in SFL and am so happy our weather is getting cooler. I do not stay in FL for the summers, but love, love, love fall through spring here! Where else can I see (and practice) the wearing of winter boots when it's 70 degrees out!!
I was a WW for many years and found the meetings held me accountable. I was not thrilled with the changes in the program. For me I found the biggest thing that kept me on track was the daily recording of my intake. As soon as I slipped in that area the weight would start to creep back up.
I have also found my get healthy plan seems to start every 10 years or so. I get the weight off, keep it off, and then slowly but surely gain it back. This last round it took me forever to get motivated. Since I am not so young I realized I needed to get back to a healthier lifestyle, if I wanted to have decent retirement years. They are right around the corner.....
Again, looking forward to spending the month with the UAC team! We can do this!!!4 -
Hello -
I been lurking this group for a while thinking about getting back to it.
The necessity is kind of approaching. I am only like 3 or so pounds above my GW but that 3 pounds is what is still left of my last winters weight gain.
Yeah. Just now coming off of last winter's weight and it is getting ready to be winter again.
When I am well behaved dietarily my wife does better. We got kind of a goal of 300 pounds between the 2 of us. That is because the air mattresses we camp on have that as a weight limit. That is a pretty weird motivator I guess.
I exercised pretty good over the summer. Got 5 months in a row of merit badges for bicycle climb. Yeah, that don't pan out in winter... less exercise and more party equals winter weight gain.

That's actually so sweet 😍 Couple health goals get me every time.
Come on back in to UAC, @oldDogBiking...the water's fine!2 -
Hi i have returned to mfp and this group today. It was very heartening to see the uac still here. Thank you ranger rick and all the other people i remember for being here its a huge support and inspiration. Ive been off trying other things to lose weight (including not trying to lose weight!) Am in same situation weight wise (very heavy) but worse off in my heart and mind - achieving the three uac goals today is the success i need. So i look fwd to checking in later with my first day achieved and accounted for. Best wishes to you all.4
