    @donna25trinity - “the stand out for me would have to be learning that restrictive quick fix diets don't work instead they hve the opposite effect which results in self sabatage. So slow and steady covering the 3 UAC rules wins the race!!!”

    I remember hearing once that the diet industry makes billions of dollars selling us “quick fixes” and next to nothing showing us how to maintain. That was a bit of an eye opener for me.

    2. Something I learned LAST Christmas was to RE-GIFT all of the candies, chocolates, peppermints and christmas cookies ASAP! Yup! I was re-gifting fast and furious last year and when I looked back at my Libra app (just now), it shows that I LOST 6.2 lbs last December!!!! The idea of re-gifting was a real eye-opener for me!
    This is pure genius!

    @TerriRichardson112 and @WhatMeRunning - your comments on maintenance were spot on. That whole concept was new to me too. I never before thought about it as being something to learn and practice.

    I joined UAC April 1, 2018. I have been a continuous, daily member since then.
    3 years 8 months.

    Three things I’ve learned/benefitted from being here:
    1) that every time we post something to help another member, we solidify our own commitment to that habit, motivator, technique, etc. 😄
    2) that daily consistency & never giving up insure our success. Keeping our awareness on our exercise, food tracking, and body weight (not for everyone, but important for me to do) is essential.
    3) a positive community is invaluable. Every time one of you posts, I learn something. Every time you cheer me in or say something I posted got you thinking or helped you makes my day!

    Thank you ALL for being here. Ours is a valiant fight against a formidable foe, and we are winning - together❤️❣️❤️

    Here’s my first post from April 1, 2018
