Hello! My name is Emily and I am looking forward to this challenge! I really have problems with accoutability and I am thinking this is a step in the right direction
What a great idea and I am looking forward to participating! 0 -
Hi, I'm Julie, a 52 year old working mom of 4 almost-grown kids. I thought about this challenge since I checked it out last night and decided it would be perfect for me. I am not by nature a competitive person EXCEPT when it comes to competing against myself for a goal. I can do this, I will do this. My biggest change will be the exercising on work days because I have gotten lazy but I have no excuse. My biggest obstacle will be staying under my goal calories, but with this group and the accountability I WILL DO IT! Let's go!0

I am Priya from Ottawa, Canada.
It's my first time doing this challenge.
I am looking forward to this, I need motivation and accountability to get to my fitness goals!0 -
I'm Sandra or Sandy
this is my first time doing a challenge. I'm 21 in college full time , and i need to loose 70 lbs according to my doctor but i'd like to lose 40-50 lbs. I'd love for anyone to add me for support and/or accountability.
Two questions
My calorie goal is 1,200 to lose 2 lbs per week but i eat back my calories when i exercise so if i go over 1,200 will i loose the challenge?Or are you talking about when you have negative calories left? Because i know my fitness pal gives you those calories back.
I currently have my diary open to just friends will i have to make it public?0 -

Hi everyone,
My name is Kristine. This will be my second month participating in the UAC. The first month was a challenge but the rewards were worth it. As we get closer to the end of the year the struggle with be increasingly difficult for me. I am looking forward to keeping the momentum going. Good luck and see you on the 1st..0 -
Hi, my name is Susan and this is my first time participating. I've been faithful about logging food but not so much about exercising. It's dark when I leave for work in the morning and it's dark when I get home in the evening. I'm a teacher, so if I don't sit down all day does that count as exercise? 0

Haha, that's a hard one. I'd say no--it needs to be something that increases your heart rate a little.
Can you walk around during your lunch break?0 -
Hi, my name is Sharon and I have been logging for about 86 days... I am usually active 5/6 days a week but am looking forward to the challenge of 7 days a week.
I am looking for some mfp friends too, this is my first time losing weight and actually getting online support. I usually go it alone and it makes it a lot harder. I am 27/174 pounds so anyone in that range that wants the extra support and someone to relate too, add me.
PS I work full time plus starting a consulting business so I eat out a lot for work but I still log religiously.0 -
Aleishia here. Last month I blew it on day 6 or so while vacationing.
So I'm here I am to try again!0 -
Hi everyone! My name is Sally and I'm looking forward to the extra accountability this challenge will bring! I'm a little nervous about how I'll do with the holidays, and exercising 7 days a week is a daunting task, but I think I'm up for the challenge!!0

Greetings Beautiful People,
I have a wonderful hubby, a teenage son and three cats. Last year I dropped 30lbs but let a few creep up on me over Winter by slacking off on logging and making excuses for not exercising. This is my first challenge on the UAC. I'm looking forward to the challenge and being held accountable as I work to improve my habits and reduce my BMI.
I wish you all great success. Be strong and choose well ! -- Sunny.0 -
Hi everyone! My name is Steph and this is my first Accountability Challenge and I'm a little bit terrified
I've just re-committed to getting healthy and feel like starting hard with proper rules to stick to will really get me in the right mindset.
I have 2 children and work in a cafe. I have a bit of an obsession with making cakes which is also part of my new job so it's always close to hand. Luckily I've found this past month I'm getting a bit fed up of it!
After being a SAHM for the past 5 years being back at work 4 days has really changed the way I view food. It was a big part of my days focus before with regular meals and snacks on a strict routine and boredom was a big part of my over eating. But now I find it's an after thought most of the time and it's kick started my weight loss and motivated me to join MFP also.
I'm looking forward to finally accepting my own accountability!0 -
Also wanted to add I have no friends on here yet so feel free to add me 0

Hi, this is my first time trying this challenge out - hoping it will encourage me to do a little bit of exercise every day, and log what I'm eating to get back on track0
