Hi. First time with the group and excited to be held accountable. I have such great motivation the first of every month that usually disappears by the 7th lol. Not this time.
I have 20 pounds to get rid of and I am going to make a good dent in that this month.7 -
This will be my sixth month of the UAC.
For this round, I would like to watch my weekly rather than daily calorie budget, as I will be experimenting with fast days after being inspired by @Mrs_Hoffer.
Good luck to everyone!5 -
Hello everyone!
So this is my first time doing one of these challenges and I'm hoping it keeps me accountable. Last month there were a few days I went over my calorie budget but I still managed to lose 6 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm hoping to lose at least another 5-10lbs this month!
I'm a 25 yr old stay at home mom to a now 1 yr old boy. Finishing up training for a 5k and hoping to better my running by both speed and distance.
Since I don't have acces to gym equipment all my exercises are body weight based except when I go out for a run.
I'm hoping to stay consistent with these monthly challenges because I honestly think it'll help me reach my goal of losing 60lbs before the ends of the year 😁
Wish me luck!
And good luck to all of you on our goals!7 -
Hi everyone!
I am Jen. I have been in and out of UAC for a couple of years actually. I joined while I was working on getting my MBA. I am just realizing that I "suffer" from trying to think I can manage everything and I have too many irons in the fire, so to speak. I am starting with a clean slate now. My son just turned 18, graduated high school, and preparing for college in the Fall. This past year has been extremely rough on us, dealing with my abusive ex, court, and not to mention COVID. Things are finally settling down, and we are adjusting to our "new normal". I am looking forward to finally being able to build that better life for my son that I have been working for. I am going to start tracking my months in UAC to help me be consistent.
Part of that better life is to have a healthy lifestyle. A few years ago I lost 50 pounds, and I was ONE pound away from my healthy goal weight. I quit smoking after the weight loss, and gained it all back, plus a little extra with covid. I saw the picture of me and my son at his graduation and I am ashamed of how bad I have let myself go. It is obvious by how I look that its been a rough couple of years for my son and I, but it's time to change it while I still can. I got depressed when I gained the weight back this last time, and struggled to get my "drive" back to start over and lose the weight. It finally clicked with me when I thought about my struggle to quit smoking. I would have that "start and stop" smoking cycle as I was trying to quit smoking. I always told myself to "keep on keeping on" and that I need to "keep trying until it stuck and don't give up". Which is exactly where I am now with my weight loss - I need to just keep on keepin' on, keep trying until it sticks, and don't give up. This time is it different!
I have always been overweight, and I have always been a yo-yo dieter. I would lose weight, start to look and feel good about myself, and then gain the weight back. My family is not into having a "healthy lifestyle" so UAC is my support group.
I am not sure what else to say at this moment. I would like to lose weight and reach my healthy goal weight, which technically I have never accomplished. More importantly, I would like to develop healthy habits and have a healthy lifestyle for me and my son for the rest of our lives.
I look forward to getting to know everyone in the UAC. Feel free to add me as a friend 8 -

Yay @biketheworld ! My approach exactly!!

@squirrelnoodles aka Connor. Nice to meet you! I sure wish I’d joined UAC when I was 18. I’m happy to help you with any questions you might have!

Beginning my 40th month!Hello. I just signed up ready to start June 1st. First time in the group. Was wondering how do ypu log a bit? Can't really get faloroes for a lick..lol does that even count..?
@riaceltic Hi! I use another tracker, but you can usually enter grams which help for a lick!
Best,
Maddie 🌸1 -
Hi everyone! I hope its not too late to join for June. Im new to MFP but a habitual yo yo dieter. I was hoping quarantine would be my time to focus on finally losing those last 10 pounds but instead I managed to gain 40 more! I definitely need the accountability! I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong spot... still trying to figure the app out4

@Oofta_1507 It is never late. Welcome 🤗 You are at the right place. I put the same 40+ during quarantine which are by the way now gone since January. Being in this community helped me a lot 1
