  • I've been part of the UAC for 2 years now and it's a great group! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The goals are exactly what you need for your health. I've learned so much about myself through participating in the group.
  • I've been part of the UAC for a long time now. It is a wonderfully supportive and inspiring group! I suggest you join.
  • This is a great group - so supportive and inspiring. Daily basic habits are key. I learn something new every month.
  • April 16 Exercise: 1 hours slow walking Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan Calories: Under April 17 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes stretching Tracking: Did not plan or track Calories: Went out to lunch and ice cream with a friend so definitely over I am heading out on a trip with the kids tomorrow.…
  • April 15 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes walk with my 7 year old in the woods Tracking: Planned the day but had some nibbles at temple lunch that I didn’t track Calories: ? Weight was down this morning so I think I did ok, but pass day obviously. My NSV is that I am still here, still trying!
  • @deskjockey925 I just did a little writing exercise about it. I can't narrow it down to 3! And I can clearly see that when I am not doing one priority, it's usually because I am doing another priority! How to balance... I don't think the exercise works for me, because I just can't narrow the priorities down enough. Maybe I…
  • I have a few days to catch up on, as I have not had my morning check in time Weds 12 I was worried I might be getting sick - the kids have a slight cold - so slept in Exercise: Bike ride with my 7 year old. He's using pedals now! I don't know how much it was really exercise - a real effort to bike so slow - but we went for…
  • 3 yeses! I did MommaStrong and stretched and walked! Matzoh ball soup for dinner.
  • April 10 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 5 minutes stretching (hey, better than 0), 40 minutes walk Tracking: Planned the day except for dinner, then did not track deviations or out to dinner Calories: Certainly over, with going out to dinner, though I think I ordered pretty sensibly I have lost track of pass days but I…
  • 3 yeses, though scale does not reflect
  • April 7 Exercise: 20 minutes stretching, 30 minutes walking Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan Calories: Under, but the plan involved a lot of approximations as I am eating Passover leftovers and there are not a lot of MFP entries for that kind of specific ethnic food. Weight this morning reflects approximations…
  • Pass day for Passover! I did exercise and kept calories tracked and on target up until dinner. Dinner was the festive meal where I did not track. But I will say that matza, as the bread of affliction, really shouldn’t have as many calories as it does!
  • April 5 Exercise: 20 minutes stretching (my son didn't cooperate with the plan to walk in the afternoon) Tracking: Planned the day, tracked the changes Calories: It was all good except that I bought my son a cookie when we went out to do errands (and not walk, like I said before) and it was a big cookie so he only ate half…
  • April 4 Exercise: 20 minutes stretching, 40 minutes walking Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan Calories: Under! I still have a bit of a headache so going to stretch instead of my usual MommaStrong. I hope to maybe get back to that tomorrow... Re: tracking. I've posted before that I lost the first chunk of weight…

  • April 3 Exercise: 20 minutes stretching, 40 minute walk Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan Calories: Under Pass days used: 2 Congratulations to all the Champions! I am hoping to be a Champion again this month! I have had a headache for the last 5 days, and before that I had a long work day, and before that I was…
  • Welcome to all the new people! So happy to have new energy! I'm Caroline. I have been a member of UAC since August 2021. This group is fantastic! I am 42 years old - turning 43 this month.

  • 4/2 Exercise: None Tracking: Yes - Planned the day, followed the plan Calories: Under! Pass days used: 2/3
  • Congratulations to the winners! Pass day for me.
  • This is a fantastic group for support and learning. I have been part of the group since August 2021, and have learned so much. It's a very welcoming group. The focus on daily actions is key.
  • I highly recommend the UAC. I joined in August 2021 and it's been immensely helpful to me. You won't find a more supportive and welcoming group on the internet. It's so inspiring to see how everyone shows up day after day to this simple task, in spite of whatever else is going on in their lives. We'd love to have you!
  • Such a welcoming, supportive, and wise group of people! I have been part of this group for over a year and it has been transformational for me. I highly recommend!
  • This is my 1 year mark of being a part of UAC. It has been amazing for me in keeping up the motivation to center my health in my life. People are so kind and wise and fun. Come be a part of it!
  • I have been part of this group since Sept 2021 and I will say it has been life changing. The kindness and wisdom of the members have taught me so much about losing weight and maintaining a weight loss. The accountability has inspired me to do much better on my journey. Come check it out!
  • I had 3 yeses yesterday but then my 6 year old stayed up late because he has a cold, and he needed a snack and then I needed a snack too. I didn't track and it put me over I am pretty sure.
  • Additions to the list: for @LazyBlondeChef Winners: @Maggie_MJ Great job!
  • @donna25trinity you caught me while I was still online and in the editing window for the post - so you have been added to the list! Any other additions I will catch up on tomorrow morning. Have a good Tuesday, everyone!
  • Here is the list so far, based on what people reported on May 29 and May 30 so far. If you're already on the list, you don't have to tell us again (but you can - we're proud of you!). I'm doing some guessing about people who have reported their total pass days but not proclaimed themselves winners - let me know if I get…
  • Last day of the month! Last to to report in! Please tell us if you are expecting to be a Winner or a Champion this month. (If you don't tell us then we won't know - this is a self-reported honor). Also, @LazyBlondeChef has carried @Mrs_Hoffer 's torch forward and set up the June group! So, please join the June group here:…
