Welcome to UAC, new members. Always exciting to see the stories of those joining us. I am 59 years old, married, living in a rural part of Kanas. I have participated in the UAC since October of 2021, as I was in the process of retiring. I lost a good amount of weight in 2021 and 2022. This year I am shooting for…

@captmiddy @dineen46 @Xellercin @rlcraft That is interesting, especially that you can copy out the ingredients list and it will find the parts for you. Has anyone used the meal planning or menu function of Paprika to make some shortcuts to use in MFP, like some personal meals when you eat the same thing? I do not like that…

T his will be 10 months for me doing the UAC and it really helps me stay motivated and steadily progress. I have lost more than 60 pounds with the help of UAC. I really like the way the group is structured to help motivate daily consistent tracking, calorie control and exercise. It has helped me work on good, consistent…

Today was the first day that I am pretty sure I logged my water immediately after drinking it: 14 cups. I received extra motivation yesterday reading ¨Nature Wants Us to be Fat.¨ He writes about a biological ¨switch¨ related to fructose, sugar, uric acid, and salt, that makes humans enter a metabolic weight gaining/energy…

Somehow I do not fully understand the instructions for this group. Are we supposed to be posting with some particular frequency to this thread? I am pleased with my progress on hydration. I have succeeded every day in my principal goal of drinking 16 ounces of water after my morning weigh in, tracking it, and setting an…

I just joined the group, also inspired by the discussions in the UAC group. My focus this month is on hydration. Having just read ¨Atomic Habits¨ and currently reading ¨Target 100¨ I am starting with trying to build habits that will ensure better hydration. 1st habit of focus: The cue is my relatively new habit of weighing…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes swimming, 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) I drink 2 glasses of water shortly after waking, an extra glass of water mid morning and after workouts, and after that generally it is to thirst. When I am drinking my resistant starch shake I have to push myself to consume more…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) I am a person who likes to do one thing at a time. I sit at the table to eat with no distractions except conversation. However, I have a very old habit of eating fast. I broke the habit for awhile between 2008 and 2011 with a lot of mindful eating and…

I am analyzing and planning my…

@MadDuck62 I belong to another good group that logs weight weekly. I just sent the admins a message asking if they want more people (I joined at the first of the year when they were seeking new members and I am not sure about their usual process of joining.) If I haven´t got back to you within a couple days, can you send…

✅ Exercise: lots of walking and housework, 11,000+ steps ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) In Kansas, the social distancing has pretty much come to an end. For several months a friend and I have gone out for lunch. Yesterday was the first time neither of us used a mask at all in our outing. I also did not see…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking, 45 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) - Be aware of food marketing: This is the one that stands out for me. I think it helps me the most to really stay aware of this. One thing I read recently was about the use of brightly colored packaging to influence food decisions.…

@ashleycarole88 I highly recommend James Nestor´s book ¨Breath¨. Here is a video where at around 16:15 he talks about sleep tape and demonstrates how small a piece is necessary. I think my CPAP makes it less likely that I mouthbreath, but the tape still seems to help. The book is where I learned about various breathing…

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) Recently I learned having a weighted blanket helps me a lot--- I can now usually go back to sleep without problem. Also I have become aware of how my breathing affects my sleep. The sleep tape does seem to help me. I also recently became aware of the…

Even with the kombucha, I have to exercise self control not to have too much, too often. I brew it releatively strong with a…

¨Single ladies¨ is that song for me, that will forever remind me of an exercise class and make me have the urge to move (inappropriately) for almost any environment when I hear it. Years ago I was losing weight using Sparkpeople and through it met a woman, a math teacher, who was also a member of the Y. We decided to meet…

@KCJen In his book ¨Atomic Habits¨ the author recommends that the habit you build to start out with be actually something too easy, that takes less than 2 minutes, that will really become virtually automatic and your body does it without thought as part of your routine. He gives the example of a woman whose ¨habit¨ is…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) The only thing I can think of I that I have noticed lately is that finally I don´t breathe noticeably harder going up the stairs. Stair climbing seems to have been one of the last fitness things to come back for me--- even when I regained the ability…
