    I just joined because I need some personal accountability. The rule of eat no more than your allotted calories still allows for eating calories earned for exercise, correct?

    That's your decision, you set your calorie goals for the day/ month. Many people choose to eat back calories earned.

    I do this on weekends so I can enjoy extra snacks or wine, etc.... I normally don't have calorie 'budget' for during the week.

    I should clarify. I just joined the challenge for accountability. I have used MFP for nearly a decade. I know how eating back calories works. I just wanted to verify that for the purposes of this challenge, eating back earned calories still counts as staying within the daily calorie amount.

    Got it! Then I'd say yes, it counts... it's totally your decision. If your plan is to set goals daily with eating back calories included, then that was a successful day.

    The purpose of the calorie check-in every day is simply to stick to the goal YOU'VE set. Hope to see you in September!

    @debrakgoogins Yes, if you earn exercise calories, you may 'eat back' calories.

    I absolutely love this group, the accountability is huge and really helps to keep us focussed. It is the most supportive, encouraging, and respectful group I have ever been a part of. If you are looking for a group to share your journey with we are here to welcome you.

    I am not able to add any comments to the "Introduction" section at https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/133850-ultimate-accountability-challenge-september-2019.

    Any idea why? I wanted to join this group last month, but was unable to add any comments, as I do not see the "Reply" box at the end of thread .

    @RangerRickL - Thanks.
    I figured out what I was doing wrong. Once I clicked the "Join" button next to the title "Ultimate Accountability Challenge September 2019" I am able to see the "Reply" box at the end of thread.

    The best way to become a winner is to be on a great winning team!! You are invited to join us for the September Ultimate Accountability Challenge (UAC).

    The Ultimate Accountability Challenge (UAC) provides both weight losers and maintainers with incredible accountability partners AND an emphasis on life-changing healthy basic habits.
    This is not the flash-in-the-pan 'biggest anything" short-term challenge. This is the real deal!! We are a non-commercial volunteer group with a proven track record of significant team member success.
    We enthusiastically welcome our returning veterans and newcomers too!
    The accountability is a daily report of:
    1)More than 20 minutes of daily exercise;
    2) Tracking the caloric intake of both food and beverage;
    3) Consuming no more than your chosen limit of daily calories
    4)Daily or every third day reporting of your fulfillment of the above.

    A non-fulfillment of any of the above equals a Pass Day. There are 3 Pass Days allowed per month
    Those who end the month with less than 4 Pass days are celebrated in the monthly Winner's Circle Qualification!!

    HI!
    Yes, YOU! 😃
    I’m going to let you in on a little SECET.....

    If you are serious about losing, gaining, or maintaining, this GROUP WILL BE INVALUABLE.🍀

    I promise. Totally friendly & positive group!

    I’ve been a member for 18 months, and
    UAC has been the reason I’ve taken that walk when I wanted to do something else, not eaten that extra almond, and tracked every single bite. Keeps my head in the game & is definitely my final line of defense. We all CAN do these things. It’s about self-honesty & wanting the results badly enough.

    These are simple tasks that work. Please give yourself the GIFT of SUCCESS!

    We look forward to welcoming you & getting to know you!

    💕 Maddie

    PS Please give yourself 2-3 months to get the hang of it. Habits take a little bit of practice to develop!

    So glad this group exists. MFP is already incredibly helpful in meeting my health and fitness goals, but I think UAC ups my chances of success significantly. I love the challenge itself as well as the positive atmosphere you foster. Thank you Rick! :heart:
