Hi, Just joined. I am 63, vegan (living on a cattle ranch - crazy, I know), have lost 35 pounds and have 15 more to go, and started regular exercising again a week ago and already feel soooo much better. This is my first challenge. Looking forward to it!9

This will be my first ultimate challenge. I’m down 27lbs since August, joined the gym in October. I really want to kick it into high gear for January, can’t wait to start!!!8

I'm excited to join this challenge. I have been trying to lose and get healthier for several years, got down 60#, into a size 12, then hit a major plateau. Now my weight is creeping back up, so I no longer can wear size 12. So I know discipline and dedication is what I need to succeed.6

Hello! Excited to start the challenge. My weight has been creeping up and Im feeling a winter slump. My fitness and weight has always been up and down. I love to garden and grow my own food, love to cook (and eat). I love to be outdoors and active during warm months but tend to hibernate in the cold Minnesota winter. This summer I got into a running routine which was great but now that the cold weather has moved in I have stopped and pretty much fallen off the wagon completely. Time to pull it back together!6

January will be my 14th month of participating in the UAC challenge with the goal being to live a healthy life. Monitoring calories, logging, and exercise are the key components of this challenge, yielding success when coupled with individual determination to stay on track. UAC is my inspiration for continued diligence. Welcome to all the new team members who are joining UAC for the first time in January, and to the "virtual friends" with whom I have become acquainted in the last several months. Thank you for being my cheerleaders on this journey. We are better together!9

Hello, I’m a newbie. I’m using this challenge to hold me accountable for healthy choices because when my depression hits I lose my appetite and lust for life affirming activities. I’m excited and curious to see how this tool fits into my overall wellness plan.8

Hello All I am new to this challenge. I am currently at the highest weight I have ever been and am desperate to get off this roller coaster I have been on. I hope to utilize this challenge to hold myself accountable so I can make a change.7

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and a college student trying to lose weight while going to school full time. I'm 25 pounds from my goal weight and have lost 15 pounds since my highest weight in July when I decided I really wanted to make a lifestyle change and be healthier. I'm hoping that the accountability will help me lose weight and have a support system.5

Hi all.
I will be starting on the 2nd. I will be doing different calorie amounts during the week. Setting a walking challenge and focusing on an exercise program. I have also joined a 21 day reduce sugar challenge.
I’m looking forward to being accountable.
Big challenge but worth it.
