  • Thank you ladies for the insightful discussion! I have been working on a list of habits that I want to incorporate into my daily life (half of the list is just ensuring I take my vitamins, meds & supplements so it's not as bad as it sounds). But this month I decided to prioritize 2. Your sound advice @ashleycarole86 helped…

  • I'm off to a good start. Thank you for the idea of identity based habits. I struggle to do exercises that I am unfamiliar with or don't especially like. Today at lunch I was tempted to go for a walk instead of doing arm exercises (even though I have wanted to do this strength training video for at least 5 years now). But I…
  • Hello everyone. I had a miserable February but March is going to be a better month. I am a person who will have toned arms. I am a person who does daily devotions.
  • Congrats to our February Winners 🏆 Welcome to our new members 🙋‍♀️ Mar 1/22 Yes to logging, tracking & exercise!

  • How long have you been on MFP, and what was the catalyst that drove you to finally 'get started', I've been on MFP since May, 2020. I was at the heaviest weight I'd ever been and it was time to do something. My daughter found this app and said give it a try. how much weight you've lost and how long it has taken you to lose…
  • @Caroline_slowandsteady I have a voracious appetite. I decided to cut calories, I was going to "fast". But I have low blood sugar so I have to allow for that. For me, "fasting" goes like this: nothing to eat after supper. But for morning coffee, I add protein powder to keep my sugar balanced. Then I try not to eat until…
  • Awe, tyvm friend <3 I missed posting quite a few days this month though. And yes, spring is coming thankfully!
  • Sorry to hear 😞 Yes x 3 today.
  • That's ok, you still did incredibly well. My Dad used to say, set goals, and even if you don't meet them, you'll still get further than if you didn't set any. Congrats, 4 pass days is still amazing 👏
  • Yes to logging and staying under. No to exercising. I won't be a Champion this month.
  • The UAC is an awesome community of kind, supportive and non-judgmental members. Some are very active and share their challenges or offer support & encouragement. Others are busy with life and pop in just to enter their daily update on whether they met the challenge for the day. As mentioned above the group is as much or as…
  • Good morning @Mrs_Hoffer. Just wanted to let you know that if you have a lot of volunteers for content creator and not enough spots, feel free to give them my Mar 7 & 21 days. Or likewise, if you have open spots leftover, I'll help to fill them. The UAC must take a lot of your time and all of us certainly appreciate your…
  • WB! @biketheworld Congrats on your exciting NSV @stella7x7 👏👏👏 Great job @Mrs_Hoffer. Sounds like you made the best choices under the circumstances! Yes to logging and staying under. No to exercise.
  • Happy Birthday @makattack220 I think people do what they want to do. The old saying is "you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink". It is easier if your partner supports you in your journey. I'm lucky in that mine does. He will help me by encouraging me to exercise, or not give in to junk food, fill the…
  • Happy Monday! Food for thought today: "People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures." - F.M. Alexander
  • Great openers today! I always appreciate your contribution @StayFITTer, very insightful and great food for thought today. As for @SummerSkier's questions, aside from accountability, my main goal for staying with the group is community. We are a group of very kind, supportive, and helpful members sharing like-minded goals…
  • Hello all. Great opener! I've been falling off the rails a bit with some stress happening in my life. I will think a bit more on the opener, read the article and maybe apply it for March; tyvm for sharing! But starting tomorrow I'll continue on with my January habit list. It's promising to be another stressful week so I'll…
  • @Winner_in_Life Tysm for sharing the great article and quotes. Very insightful and motivating! <3 Lucky you @SummerSkier Unfortunately a habit for me requires a bit of 'butt-kicking' to get me to do something consistently. Eventually they will become habits for me. Or perhaps I'm picking the wrong habits then lol.…
  • Staying within calorie budget is the most difficult for me. I have a voracious appetite. One of my stress relievers in the past was to plan and cook a lovely meal. Cooking was very relaxing to me and kept my mind occupied. I am also a comfort eater. Living with anxiety means I'm generally worked up about something and it…
  • Hmmm, goals. My main goal is to lose weight lol but it seems like everything I do gets in the way of it. Tbh I'm sick and tired of all the things I've worked on; I always have a goal that I need to accomplish in order to achieve the ultimate goal. But I'm here for the long haul. I'm not quitting. Am I embarrassed, yes.…
  • Ty, I needed to hear this today. Pass day for me.
  • Congrats all! I backtracked a bit, but I showed up and posted for the whole month in spite of falling off the program for a bit. That's a success for me. Pass day.
  • That's a good one, ty! Pass day for me.
  • Simply amazing, congrats all! Pass day for me.
  • Happy Monday fellow UACers! I have an awful tendency to put my UAC goals on hold when I get stressed out. It's time for me to work on self-discipline. The reality is there is always another stressor around the corner; such is life. If I'm ever going to get anywhere with this program, I need to keep going. This will be my…
  • Couldn't agree more! Try it for a month and see for yourself.
  • @themedalist What a beautiful picture - lucky you to have that as your front yard. So I have been backsliding a bit. It was not a good week at all. Today I reviewed my habit tracker and took some things off. I'm going to keep up on the vitamin supplements, daily devotion & prayer, daily 20 min of EITHER yoga or some form…
  • @mshawski So sorry to hear :( Jan 30 - I logged, didn't exercise and went over a bit. But still a good day. I did some planning and food prep for the week and the start of February. I will be a Champion for January.
  • @TerriRichardson112 Uplifting poem, ty for sharing talented lady :) Happy Anniversary @donna25trinity @stella7x7 Such good news on the weight loss & inches loss! Happy to hear you can start your regular diet :) Happy Anniversary @jmu1965 @enlightenme3 Congrats on your first Winners' Circle! Jan 29 - no x 3 but still not…
  • Insightful post @StayFITTer. We have to change our work login password every 3 months. Since joining MFP, my password is usually a seasonal goal that I am working on. My fall and winter passwords have been Consistency (with some #'s on the end). Although I haven't mastered losing weight consistently yet, I can say I have…
