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.

    This is a great group! I joined a little more than a year ago and it was super helpful in aiding me in losing the last weight I needed to get down to maintenance. It's not a who-can-lose-the-most group but instead all about building lifelong healthy habits with the support of a positive friendly accountability group. I'd encourage anyone to join!

    Interested but also feel that it's so hard. I am not worried about numbers but losing fat. Hoping to gain some accountability partners to help me get there. Did I mention, I own a wine shop?

    I also joined the UAC a little over a year ago, reached my goal, and have been in maintenance since last November. The UAC helps me to keep from gaining the weight back. The monthly challenge is a great goal, but the UAC is also about building long term healthy habits. This supportive group is a good place to land every day and give myself solid accountability. I encourage anyone to join, whether you are trying to lose weight or maintain.

    See you in October. :)

    I've been in the group for about a year and a half, and find that it's an incredible tool to keep me focused and consistent. I make concious choices due to the UAC that make a big difference in keeping weight off in the long run. Very happy to sign up again for October!!

    I really appreciate this group because I know that I am going to post what I did and didn't do so, that keeps me motivated each day to do better with my diet and exercise, if that makes sense. The team is highly motivational and non competitive.

    I really benefit from this Accountability group. I've been doing for at least 5 months now. You can participate in the "chatting" - or not. You decide what your calorie goal is, you report if you tracked every morsel/sip, did you exercise at least 20 min's and if you stayed under your calorie goal. It's definitely up to you to adhere to being accountable...but this group supports you along the way. I have never seen anyone treat another group member with anything other than respect and encouragement. You will definitely benefit if you join.

    Are you looking for accountability? Then this is the best group.
    I have "loss" nearly all of "lazy days"

    @liberalfoodie I have an open diary that includes wine most days :) You can definitely be part of the group if your goal is more about losing fat than weight. You can set a calorie goal to achieve that (whether it's maintenance or a slow loss while doing body recomposition) and then report out if you'd like to share your measurements or fat composition changing.

    @liberalfoodie and @cjane917 I'm a red wine fan and I have a modest copa de vino tinto almost every day.

    A great group of people to journey with as you strive to realize your goals.
    For me, the daily exercise challenge is establishing a habit that I intend to continue long after I make my goal weight.
    Try it for a month: what have you got to lose? (other than weight and bad habits ;) )

    I tried to lose weight and follow a diet for 14 years. I lost some and gain back some during these 14 years. My most successful diet lasted 4 months and I was seeing a dietician weekly at that time. This is the first time I stay consistent on my diet for 7 month and this is only because of UAC. October challenge will be my 8th month. Thanks to UAC team for providing the accountability which is most needed when you want to build a healthy lifestyle habits.

    @Hulya_79 i can relate & UAC has been my Life Preserver, keeping me afloat as I lost the rest of my weight & then Maintained!!

    Your post brought happy tears to my eyes. There is something Very Special about this group...and I’m thinking his name begins with an “R” & ends with a “k”! The tone of the group is so rare: kindness, supportive, doing the best we can as we solidify our habits!

    I’m so happy for you!

    @MaltedTea 🤣🤣
    Well, it’s as hardcore as you want to make it! You set your calorie goal & many of us set higher exercise goals, but I have to say, if you get sick, you’ll be happy the minimum is 20 minutes!! Also, the group is so wonderful, it doesn’t even feel hardcore!!

    Welcome aboard!!!
