    ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGS
    We are going to be running a daily post challenge or MUAC(Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge) Based on another MFP Challenge called the UAC

    Participation in this challenge is optional but highly encouraged for the following reasons:
    - Helps to keep your goals in focus daily
    - Motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's defintely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team
    - Many of us who participate and have successfully lost weight, m would all agree that the daily posting MUAC really is the key!

    The way it works: 
    #1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
    #2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
    #3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
    #4. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).

    ****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle".
    Our weeks always start on Sunday so we started tracking yesterday. Sunday, May1st 😉

    Your posts should look like this:
    Daily Post (Sunday)

    Track: Yes/no
    Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
    Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
    Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about how your day went or your goals for the day)


    As always, if you have any suggestions for the team or fun ideas to spice things up a bit, please feel free to share them, we look for new ways to help engagement and keep people motivated!!

    Hi Everyone!! I wanted to tell you about a change to the way MUAC is calculated. Starting now you will receive credit for the day for posting your Tracking / Calories / Exercise, whether or not you succeeded in meeting your daily goals. The powers that be (basically myself and @Krysless2 :D ) wanted a way to recognize teammates like @susanshaughnessy80 who posts every day, whether she's met her goals or not. It's the posting itself that enables the MUAC objectives (below).

    - Helps to keep your goals in focus daily
    - Motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's definitely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team
    - Many of us who participate and have successfully lost weight, and would all agree that the daily posting MUAC really is the key!

    So come on everyone! Don't be shy, let us hear from you!!

    My appetite is back from covid but I am still dealing with lung issues and currently on asthma treatments. I haven't started to exercise yet. A few more days of steroids. I'm hoping next week is better for me. This group is helping me from overeating. Thank you very much.

    I miss the days when my greatest worry was logging all our teammates weights on time!

    How’s everyone else doing!?

    Thank you for the shout out, @DaffyGirl88! I was over on my calories for over 2 weeks straight, but I kept tracking & posting. This week was not much better, but I think I forgot to post all week. I know I tracked every day. I’ll put something together 😊

    Okay y'all... I'm on a spiral it seems. I need to get some control. I seriously can't even remember to log weight every day. I truly think I weigh and then go to log and have missed a day or two. My days/nights are running together and every single day seems to derail. Falling into a habit of snacking at night which is really not good. Just NEED to get a mind adjust.
