    @maryphum glad you're feeling better, if slowly. My cough seems to be mostly at night. I wake up choking like I inhaled a feather. 😕

    Thursday 2 June
    Track: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: yes

    I totally forgot today was Friday until just now. 🙃 D'oh! I've already had a 20oz bottle of water and my morning coffee ☕ so am not going to weigh in now. I will do it tomorrow. I blame the holiday on Monday. 😉

    Comments: Happy June! May was not a good month for exercise, tracking, or eating. Too much going on emotionally and just like that, I gained about seven pounds. I’m doing better so far this month, and I’m back to tracking my food, which always helps. Take care, everyone! ❤️🙏🏻😊

    Saturday
    130
    Off kilter this week/ ok this month 🙂
    No tracking or meal planning for that matter.
    Tomorrow I’m restarting my healthy eating and exercise routine.
    I’ve lost my get up and go. Ha I just keep eating at night :/
    You know it’s time to stop the evening snacks and flavored coffee when the stretchy exercise pants are causing discomfort 🙂
    Looking forward to this health journey with everyone!

    So a bunch of us - myself included - posted in the wrong thread. 🤦‍♀️ Despite what the calendar 📆 says, June doesn't actually start until tomorrow 😂. I will make sure any weigh-ins or MUAC get recorded in the right place. 🙃

      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 start tracking tomorrow. Sunday, June5th 😉

      Your MUAC 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)


      Your Weekly Weigh-In Posts should look like this:
      Krysless2
      Week 1
      PW =(previous weight)
      CW=(current weight)


      Also, 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!!

      Welcome to the Challenge!!

      @LMK02020 no, you are in the right place. The June challenge starts today 5 June. The challenges run Sun-Sat so May ran over by a couple of days. It was us who were wrong. 😁

      Hi there team, newbie here & super excited to get started. MFP worked really well for me years ago but the last 5 years of life have been full of obstacles. Unfortunately I let all that depression and anxiety run my life and destroy all of my healthy habits. I’m ready to gain control of my life and get back to the things I used to enjoy!

      MUAC Post
      Daily Post: Sunday
      Track: Yes
      Calories: Yes (over)
      Exercise: Yes (30 min rowing, 16 min. Aerobics, 2.5 mile walk)
      Goals/Day/Comments: My goals are not to just merely loose weight but to get in better cardio health and eat better. With that in mind I’m looking to have a minimum of 30 minutes of active exercise at least 5 times a week. Yesterday put me at 68 PAI, I am new to my first fitness band and am hoping to achieve 100 year round. I am on a 7 day streak and have registered a loss, wahoo! I went over my calories yesterday by a little (other days I have stuck with the plan pretty well) but at least I moved around a-lot. I made over 10k steps & am getting better with my water intake. I am also registering better quality sleep. Not sure if I am doing this right but since it’s morning here my remarks above are a report on yesterday.
