Well, here I am checking in at 12:30 am in my time zone and I see the topic is adequate sleep. Oops! I do struggle because I am a night person and can easily get solid work done at 11 pm; however I'm a teacher so am supposed to be ready to work at 8 am. I'm not meant for this schedule! :) Today was yes x2. Over on calories…

Yes x3 Lots of exercise-- 90 min walk plus bodyweight exercises. Yesterday was pass day 2 though. I do miss incidental exercise. I always take the stairs, but I miss walking around naturally as part of my job instead of being glued to a zoom screen.

Yes x3 Hour walk plus bodyweight exercises. Was about 15 over when pre-logging in the evening, so I added in an extra 10-minute apartment walk to stay under.

Yes x3 Since starting back up in the UAC on Feb 20 I have lost 5 of the 8 pounds I need to lose to get back to maintenance range where I was in the summer. Exciting to see such quick improvement from getting back on the tracking bandwagon!

Yes x3 Walked for almost two hours and did exercises. Podcasts definitely motivate me :) Kept my dessert to eight dark chocolate chip pieces

Yes x3 Today was absolutely a day where being in the UAC kept me disciplined. Pre-logging partway through the day helped me cut back on dinner portions and realize I had no room for chocolate or dessert... plus I needed to add a 15 minute living room walk (on top of my earlier outdoors walk) to hit my goal for today's…

Yes x3 Back on track Exercise walking and bodyweight exercises

Yes x2 aka pass day 1 First pass day in two weeks (since I rejoined Feb 20). Had a lot of exercise today setting up some things in a classroom for hybrid learning (lots of opening and moving of boxes) plus more box moving while volunteering for the food market giving dry goods and veggie boxes to families. But ordered…

Yes x3 Today's exercise was walking and exercises. I started back up with the UAC on Feb 20 and so far I'm down 4 pounds! Just 4 more away from getting back to maintenance (though I'm sure these 4 will go more slowly). It's amazing the difference that tracking and accountability has made. I also began challenging myself to…

Yes x3 Walked and 15 min bodyweight exercises

Yes x3 I might have only been in the Feb UAC for a week, but I had no pass days for that week! Good training for the real start next month! Due to rain today's exercises was house cleaning, bodyweight exercises, and a short apartment walk. :)

Yes x3 These first 7 days I've found myself pretty much right on track every day with a few calories to spare (counting exercise calories since I set myself to sedentary). I think that's because I've made use of pre-logging to plan out how much/little I can eat as the day goes on. I also lost 2.8 lb in this first week! I…

Yes x3 Closed my diary with 1 calorie to spare but I haven't eaten the 60 calories of dark chocolate yet (it's 12:30 am... working on taxes) so I might end up 61 calories under instead. Exercise was a walk.

Yes x3 Tried Beyond Burger for the first time and quite liked it! Definitely more than veggie/bean/tofu patties. And this is coming from a meat-eater :)

Yes x3 Walked to school in the afternoon to drop off some materials and then in the evening did a 90 minute walk, going out to the National Basilica at sunset. Lovely!

Why should you join the UAC? Well, here is a bit of my story: With the help of the UAC, I finished my 40-lb weight-loss journey to get to maintenance over the course of a year. The community was so supportive and the accountability was strong. It was a true slow-and-steady process to get there. About two months later, I…

Yes x3 though needed to use all my exercise calories. But definitely made informed decisions about what I could eat today based on pre-logging. I've found myself semi-pre-logging one or two days ahead as I plan out my meals. Exercise was two different walks plus bodyweight exercises.

Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 ! :)

Hi everyone! I was in the UAC for a little over a year but took a break from tracking (including MFP and Fitbit) last November. It was good to give my brain and body a rest from tracking for a bit, but when I noticed a week ago that I was 7-8 lb up from my summer weight I decided to make my way back! I know that this…

Yes x3 Today was one of those days where being in the UAC already changed my habits from what I was doing a week ago. Since I had pre-logged my dinner I realized that instead of having half a leftover sub for lunch, I could only do 1/4, and it would be wise to sub carrots and Greek yogurt dip for chips. Due to planning, I…

Thanks @Bill70sStrong it's great to be back!

Hi everyone! It's good to be back! (First time since Oct.) I put a post in the introductions tab explaining where I went, why I'm back, and why I'm joining the Feb challenge with only a week to go :) Today was yes x3. Exercise was a 75 minute walk. I'm having to manually log exercise because after dusting off my old Fitbit…

Hello! I was in the UAC for more than a year but then took a break last November (from UAC, from tracking in mfp, and even from wearing my fitbit-- I needed a bit of a tracking break and rest in general). Well, today I saw I was 7 lb up from my maintenance level, so decided to charge my fitbit and join back in! Even though…

Yes x3 Kept my eating light during the day and went out on a walk. It was fun to see the neighborhood kids around.

Posting this late, but yes x3 Bike ride for a change :)

So inspiring to hear people's victories this month! I'm not in the winner's circle but I'm still logging and today was yes x3 :) 15k steps due to making student materials bags at school followed by the usual long evening walk

Yes x3 Under by a few hundred today and finally another no wine night

Yes x3. Well under. Went on a longer-than-expected adventure today: Walked 20 minutes to the local firehouse for a free cvs flu shot but when arrived we were told by the covid testers that the cvs tent has just stopped showing up most days (?) so then walked a few more blocks to cvs. First they told us they couldn't do any…

Yes x3 due to lots of exercise. 70 min walk, 10 min bodyweight exercises, and cleaning the apt

Yes x3 Once again just under. Walked and did exercises.
