    Happy New Year, everyone! I am a 33 year old father of four. I just started a new job where I work out of my home, which gives me plenty of time (not spent in the car) to exercise every day and not be tempted to eat out. So no more excuses! My weight has gone up and down a lot over the past two or three years and I'm determined to keep it off for good this time. But I absolutely have to log everything. That's the only thing that works for me. In the past, I've assumed that I've gotten the hang of it and don't need to log anymore and eventually, all the weight slowly comes back. So this is a good challenge for me. Good luck to all.

    For Christmas, I bought myself a new scale. Unfortunately, it is more accurate than my old scale and weighs about 4 pounds higher. I bit the bullet today and entered my weight using the new scale. Sadly I had to add 7 pounds since I last weighed myself before the holidays. But, in reality, that means after a week of eating I only gained about 3 pounds, so I am pretty happy.

    Hi I'm Jen. I'm so excited for the new year and this challenge. It looks tough, but any good challenge is. I'm hoping I gain some serious consistency across the board and I think this will be a good way to work towards that.

    Hello! I'm Jane. I've been on MFP for ages, with varying degrees of commitment, and I even tried the UAC in December... and I didn't make it very far! 2013 was a monster of a year, but now that it's over I feel so much more optimistic and I'm ready to re-commit to my body and my health! I'm hoping UAC will help me do that, because as most of us know, MFP really works, you just have to actually stick to it!

    Greetings to the Ultimate Accountability Challengers! My name is Paula. I started to live a healthier lifestyle in May of 2012, joined MFP in the summer of that year, and have lost a good bit of weight. I'd like to take off a few more pounds. Something about this challenge appeals to the compulsive side of my character, I guess, so I'll give it a shot. Good luck to all!

    Hello! Love that we are 5 days in and there are still a bunch of people in the group! I did the UAC for November and December but failed hardcore in December and almost made it to the end in November.

    I am looking forward to this challenge and keeping me accountable with my exercise!
    Feel free to add me for extra encouragement and support!

    Here's to a new year AND a new us!
