I will be returning for my 3rd month. This is helping with my exercise consistency more than with food at this point.

Coming back for month 2.

I've lost 25 lbs so far and have 22 more lbs to go to get to a healthy BMI, but I'd say I probably need to lose an additional 15 lbs after that, given what I've weighed in the past. Since this whole pandemic, I've discovered that I love cycling and yoga. I've been doing pilates recently and started lifting weights. Besides losing weight, my goals this year are to get stronger and improve my endurance.

I've found the daily check in with the group to be really helpful and look forward to seeing everyone's journey in February!💕

Hello, UACers both new and notable (that covers everyone)!

I'm a bilingual Canadian living in Quebec who started using MFP back in JAN2020. I started joining this challenge group in OCT2020 just like @SModa61

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.

That means, I'm currently 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 plain 'ole maintaining may be a heavier mental struggle/commitment to self.

FEB Exercise: Bret Contreras' Strong Curves program (Month 3 of 3), 💃🏿, and kettlebell training to prep for March's round of "The 10,000 Swing Kettlebell Workout"

FEB Nutrition: Continue trying to hit my protein macro target (40%) a minimum of 4x weekly

As always, I'm eager for the month's challenge to start. LET'S GO!

I’m back. Still chipping away at the last couple of kgs to get back to fighting weight and building my strength back after injuries and complications etc, but yet again the key to success in that is consistency. Not sure if we will get back to competitions this year, but coach is definitely planning a grading which is another way to test my progress.
A new challenge in my life is adjusting my schedule to ensure quality time with my man between both of our work schedules and our separate training routines (he’s a mountain biker and I coach kids and train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). Not a bad challenge to have, just something new to include in my planning.

Hi all, first month and looking forward to it. I need a group to keep me inspired and most importantly on track. I have a large amount of weight to lose (30kg/66lbs). I need to do this for my health which is getting worse with each passing month.

Hi everyone, I'm 30 years old and I weight today 86.5 kilo/190.6 lb . I have managed to shave down 10.5 kilo /23.1 lb since November 20 .

Recently, I started to slack off , I guess I'm getting bored with the repetitive days. And today I saw your post, and thought, this for sure will help me get active again.

My goal is to reach 68 kilo / 149.9 lb by July 21, I gave my self a long time so I won't feel pressured and gave up.

So, it's highly possible that I will stick around and get know you guys

Hi everyone, I’m new and my first month will be February. MFP worked first me years ago with a crew of people. But live changes and moves have disconnected me from logging and working out. I’m hoping this group keeps me accountable to help be get healthy and lose 25lbs.

Hey folks - I'm Donna/from Texas in the USA and I'm turning 50 in February. I've done...I think...this will actually be my 12th month with UAC. What a blessing to find this group before covid hit. Welcome to all newbies. I find this daily check in to be very good for me. When time permits...I really love chatting on here - supporting others. I'm always in need of pals on MFP - so friend me if you are interested in staying in this fight for the long haul. I'm a slow and steady person...have over a hundred lbs to lose...and need to lose it slowly for health purposes. I've lost 22 +/- in the past year. Goals...just the basics...and try to move more...sit less... I do alot of walking, zumba via online classes and am trying to convince myself to do the yoga classes. I am adding in some daily toning goals. I am getting creative with weights and such like so many others have done...

Hi. I was a non starter last month but will pick up the challenge this month.
I started my fitness journey on March 8, 2020. Since then I have lost 68.4 lbs with 20 pounds left to reach ideal weight for my height.
I am a 57 y.o., 5'7" female kidney/ pancreas recipient. I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 26 and told that I was a type 2 diabetic. No test was run to confirm that I was. During the 15 years after, I developed nerve damage in my hands, legs, and stomach and intestines. I had 11 prp in one eye and 13 prp in the other eye along with 2 detached retina surgeries in both eyes. I lost my right eye when the optic nerve died and was told that I would be blind by 2006. I have had 3 low blood sugar episodes below 23 with one resulting in a 3 day coma where my family was told to plan my funeral. I lost my kidney function in 2005 but was working so couldn't get on disability until I was terminated with 6 months of cobra. Went on dialysis for 3 years in 2006 until received my transplants in 2009. Developed a MRSA infection in the incision which resulted in 7 procedures to remove the infected tissue. In 2010, developed adhesions(scar tissue) which strangled my small intestine. Had surgery to remove 15 inches of intestine, my appendix, an ovary and the scar tissue. Was told by a doctor that I was probably a type 2 diabetic and would burn out the transplants. When checked, was found to be a type 1 diabetic!
After the transplants, I lost 93 pounds by eating a 1300-1400 calorie diet, walking and weight training 6 days a week. Kept it off until I met my long time boyfriend in 2011, who weighed over 300 pounds. He developed covid in November 2020 and died of covid related complications in December 2020.
I am still here and grateful for each day. Am looking forward to the future and getting to know all of you better.
