This group is a great community of supportive, non-judgemental people. You can participate in the daily discussions as much or as little as you like. It's helpful for both Maintenance or Losing. Try it for a month and see what you think!

I've been with this group for a long time now. I started out not contributing much, but just appreciating the camaraderie, after all it's a tough journey for many of us. I think that's the beauty of this group; we go through the ups and downs together and keep our focus on 3 seemingly simple goals (track, stay within your…

May 11: Got it done again before work!

May 10: switching the routine to getting the strenght trainig done in the morning before work. Seems to be working for me.

May 9: found an awesome video set on YouTube for learning how to do strength training and it's for 25 days. It's the same person that I started out with but I think I was doing one for seniors lol. It wasn't bad but I can bring it up a notch and this will fit the bill. For today's Day 1 session, she even had a plank at the…

May 8. Strength training, abs, done this morning before work along with 11 minutes of cardio. I stayed at the office for lunch and had a telephone call with our daughter. We usually get together on Sundays but she had Covid last week. I will finish the cardio later; for sure I can fit in another 9 minutes regardless of…

May 6, no strength training, as the day wore on I got tired and lost my energy and motivation to get it done. May 7. Husband was trying to get me to leave early to visit my Mom (she lives an hour away so it's easily 4 hours out of the day). He wanted to get there and get back early to settle in and watch his hockey game.…

@77tes Fly Lady is a great program. I started following her during Covid, when all 3 of us were home from work and 2 of us ended up working from home: one in the office and one at the diningroom table. Our daughter was turning the whole house into an office, a gym, a couple of hangout spaces, a yoga studio... lol. As the…

May 5: Strength training done before work this morning; got the monkey off my back early & set the tone for a positive day! Excellent affirmations @TerriRichardson112. I am going to copy them this month. Without really articulating it, it is my mindset lately. It's especially important for me at this time, as I recently…

May 4: Cardio completed in the morning. Two bad nights of sleeping and was feeling it today, therefore didn't want to go home at lunch and do strength training. Instead, I spent my lunch trying to lift my spirits by looking into our upcoming June vacation rental to get familiar with the area. Was still tired but it was a…

May 3: Cardio was completed in the morning and at lunch I came home and did a 10 minute abs video. This is also one I've done before, about 2/3 years ago. I remember the first time I tried it: I had to break it up and complete it over a couple hours (while working from home). I couldn't do it in the 10 minutes called for…

That is a lovely poem @77tes, thank you for sharing! May 2: 20 min on the bike before work this morning & arm exercises at lunch. I've done this particular video before during Covid when I worked from home but I don't remember it being this difficult. I actually had jiggly arms afterward. Then it dawned on me: the last…

Hello, it's been a while since I participated in the group. But I have managed to keep many of the habits I built for the few months I was active in the group. I continue to use my Habits app which was a suggestion from here. I've been lurking a bit last month as I've been pondering what I want to work on next. I've…

The UAC is a community of kind, supportive members. It's a great way to hold yourself accountable with no judgement from the group. You can engage as much or as little as you like. It's well worth giving it a try, after all what have you got to lose? ;)

Apr 26 ✅️❎️❎️ Stopped a binge, almost gave in to the mentality: 'well I've gone over so I may as well eat x..." Interestestly enough Ive lost more weight this week although I think I've been eating at Maintenance calories.

Agreed! Ty @jamcnewman for stepping up to keep us going!

Apr 23, no to all 3. Interestingly enough, I've just weighed myself and lost 1.2 lbs. For the last 10 days, I've had a UTI and have been drinking cranberry juice (high in sugar and calories). I've also been tired and not concerned with exercising. I haven't been sticking to the diet plan (probably was eating at…

In the past, I've put myself "to bed" with a cup of sweet herbal tea. It's kind of like a "time out". I clean and tidy the kitchen (shine the sink too) and consider it closed. Then I would head upstairs to my bedroom with a hot cup of sweet herbal tea and I'm not allowed to go back downstairs. I either sat in my chair and…

The quote is from an Australian lady whom I discovered on YouTube during the pandemic: Schellae (Shelly) Fowler Fabulous 50s. She has some great exercise videos including beginner ones (which I needed as someone whose lifetime exercise has consisted of only walking, hiking, jogging, biking and swimming). I needed guidance…

I've been thinking of you periodically and hoping all was well. Happy for you in your retirement; it sounds ideal! Welcome back and yes, know that you were missed!
