Hi I'm Glenda, I tried this challenge in February and managed to get to the 27th before I went off the rails and ate all the carbs. That being said, I do feel that this challenge kept me in control during my best friends illness and unexpected death. I probably would have eaten my weight in Girl Scout cookies if it wasn't for UAC.

Anyway, good luck and let's do this thing.
I hope to gain new friends and lose some pounds in March.

Hi, my name is Kathryn. This is exactly what i was looking for. Let´s make it happen girls.

Hi I am Be - I have done this challenge since Oct I think, and last month Feb. I blew it. SO I am back, March here we come! :noway: :grumble: Lots of great people here. Many I have known for a bit. I so hope we meet and make new friends again this time around! :blushing:

Hello everyone,

My name is Rose. This is my first time doing a challenge like this. I'm excited to do this!

Hello, my name is Ana and I am 23 years old. I have signed up for many challenges on MFP but I am never able to keep so I end up leaving a challenge after a while. I did lose 15 pounds back in October 2013 but although the scale said 15 pounds lighter, I didn't see any major changes in my body so I quit and I gained back about 5 pounds. I am currently not at my heaviest but it is still pretty bad. I think this accountability challenge is perfect for me because I love to make excuses and I do better when there are strict rules in place.

Good luck to everyone and let's do this.

Glenda,
So sorry to hear about your friend and your loss.

Glenda,
So sorry to hear about your friend and your loss.

Thank you so much.

Hi my name is Iceangel1992 A.K.A Jennay, I have trouble holding myself accountable, and try to use excuses to justify things. I am getting tired of it, and tired of my unhealthy over weight life style, I came across this group and hope it will help me on my journey to lose weight and start a healthier lifestyle.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend gjhuntley, that's a tough thing to go through.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it's called the present.

Thank you so much.
I love your quote and we can all rock March together.

Hi everyone, I'm Carol. Pleased to be joining you all for the challenge. My husband died last month, I need something to focus on and stop me from comforting eating. I've joined my local gym and have a crazy spaniel that needs daily walks. Good luck everyone xxx

Hello Everyone- Polly here:

Welcome back Polly, I'm glad you're back in again.

Hi everyone,

I'm Theresa, aka_kamalevantis.

I'm joining this challenge for the first time, I am doing a physically demanding job & I go swimming 3 days a week, the gym 2 days a week & I'm going to go walking on my rest days.... I'm looking forward to seeing if I can do this, it might also remind me to use the laptop more often, because the internet in worse than useless on my phone.... xXx

Hi, group. I'm Mike and I'm glad you exist. Because I'm always making deals with myself, and breaking deals with myself, and starting diets on Mondays that I give up by Thursday, and really-truly-seriously starting diets on the first of the month that fail spectacularly by the tenth. So, I hope to find some accountability here, and I hope we gain inspiration from each-other's progress this month.

Good luck, especially to those in the U.S., who must resist the tiny death-merchants in green who peddle cookies this time of year.

Hello all and welcome!

I started doing these ultimate accountability challenges in Novemeber. I have successfully completed every month since November. I started losing weight on my own in September because I had my first child in January. Since starting these ultimate accountability challenges I have lost 20 pounds in the last 4 months. Which brought my total weight loss to 36 pounds lost since September. I only have 1 more pound to go to be at my goal of 130 pounds. I'm going to continue doing these challenges though because I want to maintain my new weight or possibly lose no more than 5 more pounds. I'm 5'6" so I don't want lose to much more.

I am the type of person that hates to lose. So once I join these challenges each month I am determined to not screw up and be eliminated from the group. I also really want to get my name to the top of the winner's circle. So far 5 was the most completed months anyone had and now I'm at 4 so hopefully I can make it to the top or close to it.

hi, i am angie. looking forward to accountability to help keep me on track. am having a hard time being consistent:) just got a fitbit too so hoping a new toy and this group will get me a little jump start! thanks to everyone for sharing your story- it always helps to know other people are in a similar place (and actually those with even more difficult situations unfortunately- your strength is amazing) and that they are winning their battles.good luck to everyone.
