@RangerRickL Thank you very much for setting up this challenge. The idea with "pass days" is brilliant. As of today I had 3 pass days in March I will do my best to go without any through April4

I agree with Winner. The pass days are an amazing tool for keeping us on track. This will be my I dunno month to join the UAC. Even in maintenance I really enjoy keeping track of the 3 basic requirements to ensure long term success.3

Yes I joined for the third month!!! I want to reach 68~75 kilos by July 21, on my 31st birthday, on last weighing I became 81.2 kilos, so getting closer and closer! This group really help you stick to your own rules! I am really glad for finding you guys ππ3

Hi All,
I tried to do this challenge a couple years ago but was not really up to it. Recently we moved from NY to Florida and my lifestyle is much more active. Much as I miss NY, I am finding it easier to stick to my goals here. Ive been doing the biggest loser challenge for quite a while and feel that I am ready for this challenge. Looking forward to April!6 -
Hi guys, it seems that I won't make my March weight loss goal without divine intervention but that's okay. I'm not giving up, here's to accountability in April. I am finding posting really helps me.8

I'm back for month number 5.6

Hi Everyone! First time here and I'm excited. I follow a mostly vegan diet and I am hoping to lose 43 pounds.3

Hey fams! Back again - 2nd month and love this group π€ Last month my goal was to just finish the challenge successfully... almost there!! This month Iβm aiming to reduce my waist size (currently 34.5β) by reducing refined sugar intake and increasing my water consumption. We will see how that goes!
Thanks @RangerRickL for keeping the challenge alive!!3 -
Hi...I'm Janice. Did this challenge for a while and loved it. Decided it's time for s bit more accountability.
I'm 52 years old, married, 4 kids and a small zoo. Have been great at maintaining but really need to lose a bit. Have been sluffing off and I need to get back on track.5 -
Hello. Iβm Jessica and Iβm 35 years old. My goal is to lose 20 lbs by September 2021. I want to be at a healthy BMI. Iβve used other weight loss apps before but never stuck with them. Iβm still navigating the app and exploring the features to help me reach my goal. Iβm very determined this time and looking forward to getting to know everyone! Good luck!

Hello!! My name is Diamond and I am a mom of 3. I lost 50 pounds after my first and then gained it all back. My youngest is now 3 and I want to get back into shape and just feel better overall!6

Hello! I am thrilled to start this journey! I am a mom of 3 beatiful children, and recently (well 6 months ago) moved to Mesa. I have been working from home since COVID 2020 and will currently stay working from home until March 2022 when my new practice opens. I am a mental health counselor who is going to be providing Nature-Based therapuetic practices and holistic care. I am looking now to lose 40 pounds this year and to enter into my first Half Ironman in Tempe in October. I lack focus sometimes and need accountability!4

It helps many! Sometimes it just clicks right away, sometimes in aweek,- month or a couple of months but when it does, itβs Bliss!

Back for month #4. I've found this group wonderfully supportive as I keep moving toward my goals.5

Hi I am Jen. I have been in UAC but "in and out" for 2 years when I was getting my degree. And then disappeared during covid, and the recent nightmare I am dealing with my abusive ex. I started back in March and realized I have never counted my monthly attendance in the UAC. So since I am starting again, I figured I will start my UAC attendance count as well. So this is my second month in the UAC. I just recently got a Fitbit. If anyone would like to add me as a MFP friend, or Fitbit just send me a friend request (and mention you are in the uac with me or I might accidentally delete it).
I look forward to April because better days are coming!!7 -
Hi everyone I'm Roz, from England, 27, married. I have a lot of weight to drop. Looking forward to starting with you all on the 1st April. Thank you for the group!7
