All done! I’ll start posting on 9/1! Cant wait! ☺️6 -
I’ve been a member since January 2021 and it’s a game changer. It’s not magic, making the winners circle is hard, but we don’t give up. I’ve only made the winners circle once, but I’m still here, still developing good habits. The people on the UAC have become friends who provide support, encouragement, and advice. Join us, stick with it, you won’t regret it.4

I would love to join! I have been reading faq’s-should I start now or 9/1? I would like to start now but I know I am not eligible for winner’s circle til end of September3

I've been participating in this group since May and there is no way I could recommend this group any higher.
I fall into the "weight losers" category of members as I am trying to lose weight, but I would like to become one of the "maintainers" to KEEP myself at my target weight. Currently I'm going from my March 8th weight of 297 pounds, to 237.4 pounds this morning, with a target goal of 180 pounds. There is no firm timeline to reach that goal weight, I just want to GET THERE.
I'm approaching 50 years old and have been either overweight or obese for my entire adult life. I have done many, many diets before. I have done all sorts of exercise before. I have lost a whole lot of weight before, but here are the things I have NEVER done (not even once) which I am 100% determined to finally achieve:- Drop to a weight in Normal BMI range.
- Reach my ideal BMI weight of 180 pounds.
- Keep myself within normal BMI weight range.
Just a couple months ago I would have said that my best health results were from 2014-2016 here on MFP when I lost 96 pounds (from 316 pounds down to 220 pounds) and started running many half marathons and full marathons. While I was the fittest, strongest ever version of myself during that time, I never reached any of those weight goals listed above. Once I stopped being active altogether by 2019 (no good reason) I gained most all of that weight back.
Now that I am at a similar weight to when I was doing all that running, and have spent the last 5 months building my fitness back up, I actually feel like my best results lie ahead with this here challenge. That is saying a WHOLE LOT for anyone who has ever crossed their first half marathon or marathon finish line, and I really do mean it. I am not saying any of that lightly. This is working and will get me there.
Why I think this group is so important is that it has those 3 daily check-in requirements that keep them on the forefront of your mind. That keeps me from losing focus on any of them. In the past I became so caught up in the joys of running farther than I ever imagined, that weight loss went onto the back burner. Not to mention it put a serious hunger on me, I needed to eat! But with these 3 daily goals, it keeps me in line and doesn't let me spin out of control on some tangent.
I hope to see you there!4 -
I joined My Fitness Pal this summer and August 2021 was my first month following the challenge. I only wish I had found them sooner! Joining this terrific group of people, reporting in every day on my three accountabilities (tracking every bite, lick, sip, or taste; moving intentionally for at least 20 minutes each day; and keeping under my set calories for the day) has been key to my success this month. I really like that the focus isn’t exclusively on “pounds lost” as I’ve been there and done that before. The goal isn’t just about losing the pounds (well, it is in the short term) — it is about keeping the weight off and being healthy during it all. Sounds so simple.
I needed a place to be personally accountable, to report in, to support others, and to be supported when I/you/we do inevitably have some struggles.
The people are encouraging and very supportive and I’ve learned so much that has helped my journey. It is also really inspiring to be amongst some “maintainers” who share, encourage, and support us all. Join us for September!3 -

@bookieNJ when I first joined the UAC, I was so excited that I couldn't wait! I knew that I wasn't eligible, but wanted to get in the HABIT of checking in everyday, tracking everyday, logging, etc. The moderator at the time was kind enough to let me join even though it was near the end of the month! We're flexible - so if you want to join in now - go for it!!

Hi, just a quick message to encourage readers of this thread to join us in the UAC!
This will be my ninth month in UAC – the group is very supportive and inspiring. I have been maintaining now for over 2 years but I still need to keep an eye on what I’m eating.
The three “rules” are very simple but hard to achieve sometimes. However, you can just show up every day - doing your best – and the group will cheer you on to be a “Champion”.
I’m a little old lady (154 cm. 70 years old) and retired and have been maintaining for nearly 2 years now, but I still keep logging and this group keeps me on the straight and narrow. I haven't been in the Winner's Circle very often but I check in and try to read all the inspirational posts from the group.

I thoroughly recommend joining UAC. Its members are supportive and very motivating.
I’ve been in the group now for over two years, and I have never regretted joining it. The accountability it gives helps you to develop habits that will assist your quest for fitness and health.
I have been maintaining now for over a year, and the UAC has been instrumental in that success.

There is so much support, encouragement & wisdom in this group it really has been the key to my success and my saving grace really. I can not recommend UAC enough. So if your looking for a place to help u focus on ur health jorney than this is the place for u. No judgment just like minded ppl working towards achieving their goals.4

Sep will be my 11th month in the UAC. I've lost 45 lbs and with the help and inspiration of the UAC I now have a PLAN to keep it off this time around!! I've only made it into the Winner's Circle a handful of times, but the knowledge that I've learned about maintaining and keeping the weight off is invaluable as I begin to move from a "loser" to a "maintainer" !! I'm excited for you to join us in this journey and hope you'll consider checking out the UAC for September.

@jennipooh82 Awesome exercise today, but RangerRick is correct, this is not the right place to post your daily check in. You'll need to join the August challenge group if you want to post for the remainder of this month. You can find the link to the August group in the Introductions thread of the September challenge. Just remember that you're not eligible for the Winner's circle or the Champions List for August. If you're still confused, please send me a friend request and I can send you the link to the August group.1 -
Looking forward to challenge starting in less than a week!3

Looking forward to another month and hoping to reach new people it is a pleasure to be part of such a supportive group of folks.4

Hi there, I've been part of this group for two months now... September will be my third!
The basic principles of this group should apply to everyone!
After losing 75 pounds on MFP, I can personally attest to how important daily accountability is!
The commitment is simple, but the focus on these areas is where the magic is.
The group is nice and full of positive energy.3 -
