Very very excited to join the July UAC. June has been great and ive really enjoyed seeing everyone else's posts.
Thanks for being the host @RangerRickL and all your hard work.2 -
This definitely helps me keep on track. So excited to be getting my fitness back after a rough year last year. July is birthday month so I may not make the winners circle with celebrations but I'm back in the routine of eating mostly healthy so I can afford a few extra treats.8

Thanks everyone! Here is to a good month!4 -

Welcome to you both! Consider yourselves joined for July! Nothing much will seem to happen (apart from Introductions) until July 1, so why not come "practice how the challenge works" by joining the Ultimate Accountability Challenge June 2020 group.
You can see how things are laid out (we report in on a new sub-discussion each day), get to know us from our inputs to the "What's On Your Mind, Today?" thread. Make yourself known to the degree you wish (we range widely from regular conversations to minimalist "3 x yes" entries - both and everything inbetween is fine.5 -
Hi! I've been on the app for a while but have always been spotty with my commitment to it and working out. I wanna get better and I think this is a cool way to do it. I'm totally new to the groups thing on MFP but I'm excited for the extra motivation4

I am happy to find this challenge! See you in July.5

Welcome to the newcomers! If you get out half of what I've got out of this group, you're doing well! I'm a bit of a wobbler, have done this for a while, but used to drop out mostly. I'm on the up and up now though: last month I only went MIA for a few days, then came back and completed the month, this month I stuck it, with only a few Pass Days. Next month I am going for the Winners' Circle. Oh, and, I am losing weight, getting fitter and even getting to enjoy my exercise and having a much better, healthier lifestyle. It works, and the group is super supportive!8

I just pressed the join button! I have been a member of the UAC since January so July will be my 7th month. Each month I post fewer and fewer pass days. Before joining, if I had a day when I went off the rails, that would turn into consecutive days, then weeks, then maybe months. After a few months in this group, if I had a day like that, my mindset started to change and I started to get up the next morning and jump right back on. Now it has changed to the point where if I have a bad moment in the day, I don't let it derail the rest of the day and I get right back on track that day. Who knew that was even possible? I haven't made it to the winner's circle yet but I am consistently losing weight and gaining muscle every month. Everyone's posts are supportive, encouraging and inspirational. This is not a competition -- this is a group of people cheering each other on and celebrating the victories and accomplishments of one another.10

June was my first month of UAC but reading your words i was nodding along. If i had an "off" day it would turn into an "off" week - With UAC i have learnt to reign it in very very quickly and get back on track as soon as possible.4 -
Hello all, I joined MFP May 17/20 and am still exploring around. Happened upon this challenge tonight and am excited to try it. Based on an above comment, I also joined the June challenge to 'get my feet wet & get used to the water' so to speak. Reading through some comments, this challenge might be perfect for me as I am struggling to break some old bad habits and develop some new good habits. Looking forward to July 1, good luck to all!5

Hello everyone . Discovered this challenge this morning and have joined the July UAC . Will now check out how to join in the June one just to get in track and see how it works . I really need support as it gets tougher to reach my goal of 2.2 lbs weight loss a week .2

This is my first challenge. I joined MFP in May and am still learning about this site.4

Hi everyone, I've been part of this challenge since last August. This month I'll need to leave near the end of July for vacation (on vacation I like to just completely relax and not track or log) but I still want to be part of the UAC for the first 3/4 of the month in order to help keep myself on track before leaving on vacation. Thanks for the accountability!3

Hi just joined the July challenge. I am so ready for what's ahead.3

Keen and ready. I've been using MFP on and off for 9 years, but fairly new to the community aspect, and happy to have found the UAC for accountability3

Hi! I’m a wife and a SAHM (3 kids). I’ve extreme clutter and no refrigerator. Nonetheless, I’m focusing on health this month because I’m in shock at weighing in at my heaviest, 250 lbs.
I’m joining The UAC (again, after over 5 years away from MFP) bc the challenge seems fun! Not the nitty-gritty of the logging and posting, that’s not fun IMO, but the intended result: establishing a healthy habit!
I get the slightest jolt of joy thinking that on the other end of a couple months of teeny grind I might have an established healthy habit. That’s hope at work!
Thanks for setting up The Challenge!
Thanks for being the host @RangerRickL and all your hard work!5 -
I'm back! Was doing extremely well in maintenance and then I did not handle at all well a series of events starting at the end of 2019 (major home remodel with no kitchen for 2 months, followed by the pandemic that closed my gym, and then the death of my dog.) Result - I have gained nearly 20 pounds back and it is past time to (1) get back on track and (2) really look at the good habits I thought I had established and determine what I need to do to avoid falling back down this hole again!7
