Hey, my name is Amber and I've never joined in on a MFP group before. I'm excited to try my best for this challenge and see what results and rewards I can get at the end of the month.

I am 27 years old, married and live in SW Missouri. I'm actually wanting to take my health more seriously and get into better habits because I am wanting to start a family! I'd love to find out that I was pregnant, but I really want to lose some pounds and set some solid health foundations as well!

Looking for all the love and support on all life's journeys.

Hey guys Donna here, married and recently had a baby. This is the 1st and only group i hve joined. Looking for accountability and a support group such as this to keep me on track and motivated as im finding that i keep going over my daily calorie intake. I am super excited to get started with this challange.

Welcome to you all.

Welcome all, I'm a newbie compared to @TerriRichardson112. I returned to MFP sept 14, 2020, and joined my first UAC for October.

My "I don't want to fail" side, along with UAC, is helping me to try and establish consistent better habits (ie thoughtful eating and including daily exercise). Goal is for these behaviors to become natural.

In past 10 weeks, I have dropped 15.8 lb (153 to 137.2), and this week I am going to attempt a virtual 5K turkey trot. Something I would have never expected to try!

Again welcome, and good luck with your journeys and reach out to other members for support as needed. There are great people here.

Hi there! 👋🏿 Everyone here is inspirational, whether they know it or not. Oh, and super nice. We get along so well, no matter the group composition 🤗

I'm a bilingual Canadian (English/French) who started using MFP back in JAN2020. I started joining this challenge group in OCT2020.

My goal? Maintain my body fat in the low 20% range (or, gulp, high teens) since I've never been able to do that before. Along the way, getting stronger, more flexible and working on mobility improvements are fun bonuses.

I'm in a body recomp phase right now and will likely be in this phase until spring/summer 2021.

Ultimately, I'm here to stay with UAC because this part - the body fat and weight loss - is easier for me. Once the recomp is done, the maintaining may be a heavier mental struggle/commitment to self.

DEC Exercise: Bret Contreras' Strong Curves program, 💃🏿, and random combo training when I'm bored (calisthenics, kettlebells, etc).

DEC Nutrition: Continue hitting my protein macro (40%) at least once a week 😭 Not surpass my carb and/or fat macros more than 3x a week 😪

Hi everybody! This is Hulya (Hülya) from Turkey. I am 41 years old and have three kids. December will be my 10th month in the UAC. I have been dealing with the weight problem for 14 years. I tried to lose weight many times and I did it but gained back every time. I knew I had to change my habits and build a new life style. There, the UAC meets my need for accountably with easily doable rules.

Hello everyone! I am new to this group. I am getting married in March. I am a mother to two boys and about to have a bonus son (step son). I am also an animal lover. I have been heavy most of my adult life. I was at 230 and I was able to get to 155. I moved and just didn't care what I ate. Now I'm back at it and more determined than ever to stay accountable. I was at 220 pounds in July and now I am currently at 191. I would like to lose or close to 25 pounds or reduce more of my body fat before my wedding day. Ideally I would like to be at a weight of 135 or dress size 8.

I am looking forward to what I can achieve this next month, and future months.

Hello everyone!! I'm from Florida
My name is Teresa, I started this group this month (November). I'm 58 yrs old, I have No children. Was married 36 years got a divorce and for financial reasons we decided to buy a house together.
10 years ago I was on MFP and did awesome, lost it all. Ate right and walked my butt off every day. Since then my Dad passed away, got divorced and fractured my foot. I also found out 1 1/2 years ago I have an eye condition called Blepharospasm ( uncontrollable eyelid spasm) Sun, stress, light, noise can make the spasm excruciatingly intense . To say the least I gained all my weight back and then some. 221 pounds. Since I started back on MFP one month ago I lost 15 pounds.
with the eye condition I am home bound. But I used to Love the outdoors, Tennis, hiking, kayaking, photography, Nature, BUT no longer can do. On a GREAT note I've decided to not give up on life.

I'm thankful for this group

Hello all! I'm new to the group and looking forward to the challenge! Just 31 days on MyFitnessPal so it is all new to me. I was a chubby kid and overweight teen and adult. I have also yoyo dieted since high school. It is all a mind game for me, something I am trying to overcome. The first 2 weeks are wonderful as the weight drops and then the weight stalls and so does my momentum. Portion distortion and the addiction to carbs are my goals to tackle with new habits I learn from MFP. Exercise is not a problem but I can easily talk myself out of it if I'm not challenged or trying to meet a goal. I'm hoping with the challenges and support here I can continue my momentum!!
