    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 today. Sunday, August 28 😉

    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!!

    My name is Sue, and I am 62 years old. I live in southern Maryland, am married, have two grown kids (1 in Seattle, 1 in VA), 2 grandbabies (VA) and 1 fur baby 🐶. I work full time, currently teleworking which appears may go on for.ev.er. I love to read, ride my bike, quilt, and make greeting cards. I am always up for a challenge (you've probably figured that out LOL) and am usually involved in multiple reading, fitness and Fitbit challenges at any given time. 📚🚶♀️

    I have been on MFP for 10 years now and part of TBBT for a little over 2. Wow...time sure does fly!! I joined TBBT after COVID/teleworking caused my weight to climb. I officially hit my goal of 140 lbs last month but will probably revise it down a bit. It took me years (almost 20) to crack the 150 barrier so we’ll see.

    My goal for September is to be lighter than I ended August. ⚖️ I don't care by how much, it all adds up. However, I WOULD like to lose a few more pounds. I am going to Hawaii in October so I need to start getting serious now. Can't wait until the October 1st and try to lose 10 pounds. LOL

    More about me later, I just wanted to welcome everyone and say here's to another great month for TBBT!!! 🎉[/quote]

    Update: Sunday 28th Aug
    Track: No
    Calories: Probably under
    Exercise: No

    Goals/Day/Comments: Had my gastroscopy and colonscopy both procedures were awful experiences, glad I got through it and not going to have to do them again anytime soon. They didn't find anything which is good news but they still took some biopsies for analysis. I was starving by the end of it as hadn't eaten for 2 days.

    Big congratulations to @BlissfulK and all the other losers 😉. When I looked at the spreadsheet yesterday our team was in 2nd 🤔…. Maybe the Belly Flats had some weights that hadn’t been entered yet that I missed.

    Glad some of that stress is over @Naija82, hoping your biopsies also come back okay.

    And yes, what are donkey chips?

    @therealbluenote what are donkey chips and where can I get them!!! 🤣🤣
    Donkey chips are an off brand tortilla chip! They are so darn good and way better than any other brand! They are a thick, hearty corn tortilla chip. 😆

    Hi TBBT!
    I'm Brandi. I've been apart of this challenge for awhile, but I have been rather quiet lately. Between being sick and then spraining an ankle, I haven't put in a lot of effort in either. I am trying to change that this month.

    I am 37. A stay at home/homeschool mom
    This is my only child's senior year and I am so proud but ... I am a little saddend about it being the last year.
    I spend a lot of my free time dabbling with puzzles and watching movies and just being with my family.
    I love strength training but hate cardio. I do like zumba - when I have a buddy to look silly with.
