Hello this is my third attempt. I have 3 kids 6,3, and 16 months. Over the last 7 months I have been putting myself first and getting healthy and fit. I feel the is my month I will be able to finish the challenge.

Hello all you accountable people . I failed December's challenge mid month, succeeded at January's challenge (wahooo), and am back to try again in February. Tomorrow I have some significant challenges and it Is within the realm of possibility that I will have to drop out on day 1! But if anything can motivate me to squeeze in exercise on a crazy busy day, and eat no more than my goal calories despite temptation and stress, this challenge can. Good luck all!

Hello, This looks like a great challenge I'm in!

Hello Everyone! I'm Kate. I'm so excited to find this group. I love working out, but I also love food. I love running, and have gotten into lifting weights in the last year. Working out is not my problem. I really wish the 80/20 rule wasn't true, but I'm proof that it is. I got down to my goal weight after my second kid. However, I just haven't gotten myself there since my 3rd (4 yrs ago). I desperately want to lose the weight. I need to feel better about myself. Hoping this accountability is the answer!

Hello Everyone,
I just finished UAC January and it was a fantastic way to keep me accountable every single day! I am excited to attack February. I love to work out- running and weight lifting are my favorites, though I have to mix up the cardio to keep the injuries away. The food part is my bigger challenge and this UAC has made me really think about my food choices.

Good luck to you all!

Hi there! I just stumbled across this challenge because it's showing up in new groups! Hoping doing the challenge can help me, because when I'm on the ball I'm doing fine with logging and exercise, but when I - hate this phrase - "fall off the wagon", I usually stay away for days or weeks and undo all my hard work!

Hello everyone my name is Sue. A friend on MFP joined this challenge and mentioned it in her post so I thought I would check it out too. This is my first time participating in UAC and I am motivated to do this challenge. 2014 is the year I will be fit and healthy and would like to be at my goal weight of 190 lbs by the end of June this year. I have about 30 lbs to go and it is doable especially if I have some help being accountable. I am a little concerned since I will be travelling to Rankin Inlet, Nunavut in mid-February where there is no gym equipment in the hotel I will be staying in, but I plan to design my own workouts and keep with the challenge through this time. I am ready and excited for this challenge????

Hi Everyone!

I am Anu and I live in the Netherlands. I am doing P90X3 but I need more accountability with my calorie intake so this challenge is perfect for me. It is my first attempt at UAC.
Good to us all!

Hello! This will be the first time I've ever participated in a challenge group on MFP and I am hoping it will help me with the extra motivation I need to shift the last 20 pounds I've been struggling with for several years. I'm 47, live in Belgium, am married and a mother to three teenage boys. I belong to a gym where I workout 3x/week, I also do a yoga class 2x/week, and I enjoy long hikes on the weekend. I also use walking or biking for transportation as we live in a medium size city with everything close by.

My biggest challenge will be sticking to my daily calorie count and logging all my food, but I know this is the one thing that is standing in the way of getting to my goal.

Good luck to everyone! :bigsmile:

Hello, this is just what I need to stay accountable for exercising.

Hello everyone! I'm Lulu and I'm fresh off a successful Jan challenge. This is the perfect challenge for me and I've managed to complete 2 of the last 3 months and lost about 20 lbs during those months.

Good luck everyone!

WOWZERS and WELCOME EVERYONE,

It's so good to see so many new faces and "old" ones too!! :laugh: This is going to be a Fab-YOU-lous month for all of you!!

Now let's get Movin' and Losin' immediately!! :drinker:

I am ready to give this a try again. I did great for the first three days in January. I think I can do better this month!

Hi my name is Rachel Adams. I'm a former military wife and mom to an active 7 year old and to one little angel. I am trying to lose weight to better help my PCOS and so far from the last few challenges I have lost 13 lbs. total and hope to keep losing! I enjoy the whole accountability challenge because it keeps me straight and I try to stay under my calorie needs but not too much under...which doesn't seem to happen alot I'm usually wayyyyyy under. I have won 3 challenges in a row which made me feel good cos all the checking made more conscious about my water in take and exercises. Remember it takes 21-30 days to learn a new habit.

I hope to see more faces and if at all possible try to get the mini challenges in if you can, it will help with burning extra calories.

Another good tip is find an app if you can that will tell you what you have to do burn the calories of junk food/high calorie foods...it might help you in putting those foods down and picking up better eating habits too!

Hi All,
My name is Beverley. I've tried this challenge and never able to complete it. I'm not making any promises, but striving for my best this month.

Good luck to you all:-)
