    I joined the UAC back in October 2020 - midway through the month because I just couldn't wait to get started! I knew that I needed ACCOUNTABILITY in order to build a habit of being able to "stick and stay" on those days when I got overwhelmed, or just tired of the struggle. I've lost 40 lbs since then and only have about 20 more to go.

    The 3 "rules" are simple - but not easy! :) I love the friendship, encouragement, and comradery of this group, as well as the wisdom and insight from members who have been where I am, or who are currently in a "maintenance" mode. I also like the fact that there is no judgment, only encouragement and suggestions (help) to those who ask. I hope you'll join us - you won't regret it! :)

    definitely a great group and wonderful family caring supportive atmosphere. Lots of good knowledge shared. Excellent challenge for maintainers, new folks to MFP, folks working on losing, and even recomping. I am always learning something new which makes it not only a challenge but a place to discover!

    UAC has been the key to me making healthy lifestyle changes! Its a supportive space in which i hve learnt so much about what it takes to reach my weight loss goals. I joined in December 2020 and have never looked back!! I feel like these guys really understand me and are there to cheer me on both on my good days and bad. This group has allowed me to be real with myself and has kept me accountable. I am now down to loosing my last kilo and i will continue staying with UAC and embarking on my next journey of maintaining my weight! I hope to see u in August and i hope actually i know it will change ur life just as it has done mine.

    August will be my third month with UAC. I don't always meet the daily requirements, but I know that each day I do is one step closer to getting it right. In the meantime, I'm enjoying getting to know the people in this group. Each of them is inspiring, welcoming, and willing to help.

    UAC is a great group supportive and encouraging people. I've been a member for well over 2 years, and it's been instrumental in helping me reach maintenance and stay there.

    Stick to the 3 'simple' daily rules and earn a place in the Winners' Circle. You even get 3 pass days to help you get there.

    More than 3 pass days? You can still join our Champions who post there achievements every day, no matter what!

    I have been with UAC since Nov 2019 and not a month goes by that I have not learned something, felt supported at my lowest moments and find the encouragement to keep going. It’s not about winning it’s about being accountable and recognizing that sometimes we need some help. Stick with us and you will get where you want to go.

    Concise and accurate.

    Much like how your daily, concise entries will help you achieve accurate health results when you join this group.

    You're in the MFP Forums anyway so why not leverage your time with action-oriented posts while you're here?

    I ​have been with this group for several months, I'm 💯% sure I wouldn't do as well without them.

    ​Some of you already know, when we try to lose weight at first, we are motivated and enthusiastic, but it's a long journey, the motivation cannot last to the end. I'm now in this state, but being with this group I'm still having better days than if I were doing it alone. I'm keeping my current weight without much gain, until I have enough energy to continue the road.

    You can share your worries and ask for advices, many of us have mustly faced this hurdle before and will share the experiences with you.

    I'm a UAC newbie and this group has helped more than any other challenge I've done to make progress towards my goals. The daily commitment/check-in accountability really gives me the motivation to control my snacking tendencies. And the people are incredibly supportive, as others have said, on successful days and on the not so successful days. If you need a change to help you move forward or just want a supportive community, UAC is a great place to be.

    Well said. I have been with this group for 2years. These 3 rules have helped me greatly to be accountable in maintenance.
    I especially like that fact that some of us have added personal goals to these rules to help us to be accountable in other areas of our lives that affect our desires to be healthy.

    The most non-judgmental challenge group in MFP.

    I first joined the UAC October 2020. The group has been responsible for so much of the positive changes I have made in my life and my health during that time. The structure of the group is great for encouraging healthy habits, Yay!, and the members of the group are encouraging and also diverse, which is wonderful when it comes to member support. It is a great group to join. Give it try!

    Like a lot of others have said, I find this group incredibly helpful. MFP is a tool (a very useful one) but it takes people who use such tools (and most importantly use them properly) to make great things. And while you can technically use the tool all by your lonesome, it is a lot easier when you have support and guidance to help you navigate towards your goals.
