Welcome back everyone and hello new people 😊❤️
Let’s rock May! My birthday is Friday and I’m turning 30! I’m ready to start my 30s off right 👌🏻

Goals for this month:
1) log EVERYTHING (I have a bad habit of not logging when I go over limit)
2) drink at least 8 cups of water daily. if not, more!
3) be more active on here! I’ve never meant to not be active. So everyone will see more of me!
4) participate everyday with the accountability challenge!

@AB0215 Ashley - so sorry to hear of your loss. Please be gentle with your heart - we'll get all caught up here in time!!! (((hugs)))

TBBT teammates - couple of good days for me this weekend despite going out TO A RESTAURANT with friends. Luckily the meat was in tiny overpriced servings and the veggies were overpriced extra $ side dishes, so I stayed under and just drank a lot of water and talked a lot.

I feel that May is going to be a GREAT MONTH! Thank you all for being here!

@AB0215 I'm so sorry for your loss Ashley. Thinking about you and your family, sending lots of hugs!

Hello team TBBT.

Within the main weight loss challenge we have another optional, but highly recommended, challenge. It is called the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge, (Mini Challenge), or the MUAC. It is based on another MFP challenge group by the same name, the Ultimate Accountability Challenge or the UAC.

The way it works is simple:

1. Log everything you eat that has calories in MFP.
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget.
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. This could be anything that gets you off the couch and being active: run, walk, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.
4. Report each day on this thread (something to the effect of logged food: yes, under calories: yes, exercise: yes, and a brief description is nice)

****When you post your accountability, please put the date, or the day of the week to which you are referring. We are all in different time zones, and some people post in the evening for that day, and others post the next morning, so it gets confusing trying to decipher without a day or date. Thanks!!!*****

You get one free pass day a week (went over calories, could not log food, rest day, etc.) At the end of the week, if you have managed to be "accountable" (three yes's) for at least 6 of 7 days , you will be recognized on this thread as being in the Winner's Circle!

This strategy works for weight loss because it is based on calories in and calories out.

What's great about this challenge is that it works for everyone, as long as you are honest with yourself. There are no dietary restrictions, so you can eat whatever you like, and follow whatever plan you like. Your own daily calorie budget is set by you and MFP and you choose your own exercise and intensity of exercise! Plus it is a practice that can be carried beyond weight loss into maintenance! If you are having a bad week, a new week and a fresh start is just around the corner!

Consistency and new habits have been shown to be the keys to long term successful weight loss. Why not make the Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge your new habit, that you do consistently!!

Because we didn't officially start this thread until today, the second day of the May Challenge, Sunday and Monday will be pass days (unless you post to the contrary). So for the first week only, 4, 5, 6, or 7 "yes" days will get you into the Winner's Circle!

@DaffyGirl88 to answer you from the April thread, I am ok! My dog dragged/tripped me going down a hill, and I landed right on my back. I was in pain Saturday after it happened, but luckily was pain-free this morning. I was able to jump back into my exercise routine, which was nice!
