    Welcome to a great team!!

    The Ultimate Accountability Challenge (UAC) provides both weight losers and maintainers with incredible accountability partners AND life-changing healthy habits.

    This is not the flash-in-the-pan 'biggest anything" short-term challenge. This is the real deal!! We are a volunteer group with a proven track record of significant team member success.
    You are the boss of which exercises you do; how high your calorie limit will be; and whether to ‘eat-back’ exercise calories burned.

    The accountability is regularly posting your daily results for:
    1) At least 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

    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.

    Those who continue to post throughout the month are honored as UAC Champions. Consistent thoughtful caloric intake; exercise; tracking and posting make Champions

    October will be my fourth month, and honestly, I'm horrible at it, but I still make a check in for every day. The last couple months I've been really bad about exercising and had too many days that tracking (and staying under calories) is just not happening, and yet I keep coming back because I know that if I don't have this challenge I'm more likely to completely give up. And having this group helps give me that extra accountability push to get back on track after a bad day (or a bad weekend).

    And even with my intermittent detours, I've still managed to lose 11 lbs in the 3 months I've participated (Right on track for my 1 lb/week target loss rate minus 2 weeks on vacation). I know that wouldn't be happening without this challenge.

    TLDR: Join, do your best, even if it isn't perfect, you can still get great results and make progress towards your goals.

    In October I will have been in the UAC for a year! I don't make the Winner's Circle every month, but the accountability is what I need to stay the course and ultimately stay on track! For me, the key is to not give up after I've used up my 3 Pass Days!! :)

    Even though I am not as "talkative" as others in this group, I find it very enjoyable and inspiring. I have never made the winter circle, but have been a champion a couple times. This group really does make me think twice about my activities and choices. And, brevity is totally acceptable! :-)

    Hello! I joined the group for the first time this month (September). I'm so glad that I found it; It is really helping me reach my goals and keep myself accountable. Lost of great supportive people here. I'm joining next month again. If you haven't joined yet, you should definitely try it; it will make a big difference. :)

    Hi there!
    You should definitely give this group a try!
    There are many great groups in UAC, but this one has that “Special Sauce.”

    But as they said on the old “a reading Rainbow” 🌈 show “Don’t take my word for it!” TRY IT YOURSELF!

    You may find your UAC home - as many of us have.

    This group enabled me to lose my final 25 lbs of 75 AND maintain for the last 3 years and 1 month!

    YOU decide what counts as your exercise.
    YOU set your calorie goal for each day.
    YOU decide if you tracked your intake.

    By placing YOU in the Driver’s seat, UAC helps you steer your success - whether it’s weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance.

    Join us! Really… why not?

    All My Best to you in finding the methods & habits to meet your health goals.

    🌸Maddie

    Hi, I have participated in this group a few times in the past. Somewhere along the way, I fell off a cliff. I'm glad to see it is still going. Looking forward to the accountability as winter gets under way.

    It's not too late to join the UAC (it’s never too late).

    I want to add to all the other stories that the group has been helpful to me not only on weight loss and fitness but also very supportive around mental and emotional health issues. Several members have difficult life histories and the support is wonderful. It’s has helped to keep me sane during a difficult year.
