    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, July 31st 😉

    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!!

      Daily Post (Tuesday 08/02)
      Track: Yes
      Calories: NO
      Exercise: Yes ( 120 Mins. Aerobic )
      Goals/Day/Comments: Keeping a low carb routine and still going strong. I did count throughout the day but our oldest turned 12 today so we took him to Red Lobster. All I had in the day was 1/2 gallon lemon water 1 protein shake and bar. I had a salad at red lobster but we already know they are packed with millions of calories so I just paused.

      Daily Update - August 2, 2022

      Track: yes
      Calories: under
      Exercise: elliptical 25 mins, walk to office 15 mins

      I work in a chemical plant and we have to park outside the plant. We have the option of a shuttle to get to our office or we can walk. It’s about 1/2 mile walk for me so I try to do it most days but when it’s 80 deg F at 6:30am it’s sometimes hard to do in blue jeans and long sleeve shirt (required attire).

      Thank you. Mondays and Wednesdays are my heavy days. I've got years of neglect to make up for, so fitness is my parttime job now! 😀
