Welcome to the March 2020 Ultimate Accountability Challenge!

Some of you have been with this challenge for months and some are brand new. This is one of the hardest challenges to stay with throughout the entire month.

FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!! Log every BLT (Bite, Lick, Taste). Stay strong and true to yourself....YOU WILL SUCCEED!!

Please feel free to share as much information as you feel comfortable sharing about yourself with the rest of the group. I look forward to getting to know all of you a little better.

GOOD LUCK!

    Hi there, I'm Katie. This is my first challenge and I'm excited to do this. Daily exercise is difficult for me because I have 24/7 vertigo, and some days/weeks get really tough and I can't get up off the couch. I would like to challenge myself to at least try yoga or something on those days. As far as food goes, I like to eat clean at home as much as I can, but I have a pretty major sugar addiction that I have to fight with on a daily basis. I'm looking forward to talking with everyone who joins and supporting each other!

    Hi Katie.

    Me too! Love sugar and sweetness. There is an article posted within CNN's site today regarding sugar cravings and lack of sleep. Apparently, women who do not sleep enough crave sugar, saturated fats, and caffeine more than those who do. Of course the study only included 500 women which is not a large test group. But, I will say when I am not sleeping well I have a tendency to have more bad cravings than good.

    Hello, this will be my 6th month with the UAC. I've lost 25 lbs since September, looking to lose another 15-20! The UAC helps me stay consistent and keep on track. Looking forward to another month of accountability :)

    Thanks Suzi, I appreciate the insight! I'm going to be doing a sleep study in a few months, so we'll see how it goes.

    Hi everyone! This is my first time attempting this challenge. I have really let my body go in recent years and I need to be more mindful of what I am doing for my body. Hoping to see some change by the end of March :)

    Girl, you’ve got this and we’ve got you!

    My name is Julie (friends call me Jules) and I’d be honored to be friends with y’all! This is going to be my second month with this group, and I’m really looking forward to it! Hit me up with a friend request and just mention UAC and I’ll add you!

    By the end of the third week of February, I’d lost three pounds, and I credit this group (and my love of a challenge) for that!

    Exercise wasn’t the problem. Consistent tracking and relying on exercise calories were my downfall. Weighing as much intake as I can and not dipping into my exercise calories (a personal goal) helped tremendously! This group kept me on the rails in February! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • Hello. I'm Patricia and I'm a middle-aged woman that realizes she needs a kick in the pants to be healthier. My friend, Julie, introduced me to this challenge and is my accountability partner to help me along. I'm hoping to achieve great things here and feel better!
    Great days ahead!!

    Hi I am DIna so to be 52 married. Currently work out a gym 5 days per week spin and kickboxing. Having a shoulder issue currently so limited on upper body work. Starting weight 175 need to lose 15 pounds to get a goal weight I set with my doctor. Can’t wait to get started. Eat it and write it is my biggest set back. Look forward to getting to know everyone.
