  • May 30 Exercise: Did 15 minutes of MommaStrong in the morning and 10 minutes of stretching at night. I spent a few hours at the lake with the kids but I don't think any of that was exercise, just standing around with my feet in the water. Tracking: Pre-planned the day Calories: Did not exactly follow the plan. Nibbled on…

  • Sunday May 30 Exercise: Lots of walking around at a friend's all day party at a playground and splash pad Tracking: Pre-planned the day, with some good stuff like bringing a salad with chicken to the party Calories: But still succumbed to treats at the party and kids' leftovers ... pretty far over So Pass day I am a…
  • I hope everyone who gets one is enjoying their long weekend and doing their best to stay on track (I'm doing well at the first part, less well at the second part). Getting towards the end of the month, so same ask as yesterday: Time to let us know! Please tell us if you are expecting to be a Winner or a Champion this…
  • I hope everyone is having a good long weekend. We're getting towards the end of the month! Time to let us know! Please tell us if you are expecting to be a Winner or a Champion this month. (If you don't tell us in the next 3 days then we won't know - this is a self-reported honor). Also, @LazyBlondeChef has carried…
  • I have been part of UAC since August of 2021 (I think) and I have learned so much about how to lose weight and keep it off and just keep the right attitude towards food and life from the wisdom of this group. It is very supportive and educational whether you are achieving the goals or not. Please join us!
  • Sat 28 Exercise: hiking around the sleepaway camp my daughter is going to attend for the first time, on a tour. She is really excited about it now! I am so excited too. Tracking: Planned the day - though not until right before lunch - but I did! Calories - Followed the plan I drink to thirst but I just naturally like to…
  • Yes x 3
  • Checking in late but 3 yeses for Thursday
  • Pass day
  • Great job on 3 yeses: @tahm42 @KCJen @bookieNJ @victorious55 @Marilynsretired Great job showing up anyway: @Elbee1 @Jana_2020 - I love your attitude towards change. I would love to be able to handle things as gracefully @atoina - I don't know, I think the usual can count if it's at least 20 minutes, but you're the one who…
  • May 24 Exercise: So proud of myself - 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes walk, 30 minutes bike ride, 20 minutes stretching! Tracking: Planned the day, but with some estimations for pizza at the farmer's market Calories: Followed the plan, but pizza at the farmers market was definitely over estimate Still going to consider…
  • Mon 23 Back on track after being sick! Exercise: 30 minutes walking, 20 minutes stretching Tracking: Planned the day (not the night before as I prefer, but planned in the morning). Planned last night for today too. Calories: Under Felt good to be back on track for the day!
  • Nice opener @Jana_2020 - I like the reminder to focus on the effort and the results will follow Congratulations on 3 yeses: @donna25trinity @Winner_in_Life @Caramel_Apple - zero passes so far - WOW! @atoina - thanks for the website recommendation. Sounds like delicious food for work! @TerriRichardson112 @snowshoe072 - glad…
  • Another pass day. I was feeling better, and got up early to exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong. But I had not planned the day and I did not track anything. I like to have one adventure day in the weekend and one stay home and organize day. Lately the balance has been off with too much fun/fun recovery rather than…
  • Another pass day - still feeling sick - but better today! I did go for a walk yesterday and I think calories were good, but did not track. I think today is maybe not the day to ask me about "after" covid. We are in a big surge here, as is much of the US. My family had 3 covid exposures last week, and I have been feeling…
  • Pass day. Still not feeling well.
  • May 19 Pass day - I was not feeling well and didn't bother tracking. I think I was OK with calories, but no exercise, just napping. Re: sleep, I was a terrible sleeper from childhood into early adulthood. What cured me was getting a dog at age 25. Having to get up every morning and go for a walk - once that happened the…
  • May 18 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, a work field visit which was more standing around than walking, but some walking - at least 5 minutes of it. Tracking: Tracked it all Calories: Under I wouldn't say I struggle with sugar particularly - just delicious food in general! Many years ago I tried giving up sugar entirely,…
  • @Mrs_Hoffer, this sounds awful! I am so glad you are healing. Wishing you the best.
  • 3 yeses! Back on track for real!
  • Good job on 3 yeses: @calvin20874 @SummerSkier @biketheworld @Maggie_MJ @enlightenme3 @KCJen @bookieNJ @GrandmaJackie Good job checking in anyway: @Winner_in_Life @Jana_2020 @StayFITTer - those sound like good diet goals. And good luck capturing everything - that has been my struggle recently and I am getting better (just…
  • @KCJen I have been having the same struggle with how to fit everything into my morning routine. I currently have 2 options: 1. Check in on MFP first on the computer and make a long post, then do my 15 minute exercise program. Eat breakfast after getting my son up and am not ready to start work until 9, sometimes 9:15. 2.…
  • Great job on 3 yeses! @ideas2 @jmu1965 @LazyBlondeChef @eokoro @victorious55 @jamcnewman @ashleycarole86 @atoina Great job checking anyway: @lesdarts180 - sounds like an awesome trip @Elbee1
  • Pass day. Somewhat back on track, but nibbled a few things and didn't track them. I did a MommaStrong D15 and went for a walk.
  • Congrats on 3 yeses! Way to go! @donna25trinity @TerriRichardson112 @snowshoe072 @tahm42. Good job getting back on your routine. I am trying to do the same! I'm cheerleader for today but probably won't be able to check in again until tomorrow night -apologies in advance to anyone who checks in later for the late cheers.…
  • May 15 Was supposed to be my back on track day, but not quite. Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong D15 and probably could count the 3 loads of laundry I did (laundry in basement, my closet on 3rd floor) as another 5 minutes of exercise. I did not leave the house, and I took a long nap to recover from all the fun the day…
