Hi Everyone! My first post!! Please help a newbie out here's my question:

During United Healthcare's UHC 6 month "motivated" attempt what happens if you gain weight? I started Oct 15th 2014 and have weighed in a total of 4 times so far with two more times to go. I've gained around 2lbs every time I weighed in this is mostly do to a month long sinus infection then influenza (the flu) the next month therefore I've basically been sick this whole time. And yes, unlike some people I eat when I'm sick. A lot lol. Anyway net gain 7lbs I have two more months of weigh in and yes I'm trying to lose the 7 I gained but did I mess up? Thanks!!!

I gained too. But then I found out they dropped the requirement, so no worries for me. You, however might want to do what I did on the month after I had a gain. I did a week of high Protein, no bread or sugar, and I dropped 10 pounds in 10 days, and went back to the Dr and had them document that weight instead. Of course I wasn't able to KEEP it off, but it showed I was trying. I think the diet is just a silly hoop. Just do your best.

Appreciate it! thanks.

@@Stephanie Salsera Perrott, not sure about your plan but for my united health plan, I was required to either stay the same weight or lose weight. I lost about 5lbs.
