Ultimate Accountability Challenge May 2019

Thanks for stopping by!

If you’re on the fence about joining another group, the UAC, the answer is YES!

You WILL find success losing AND more importantly Maintaining so you never have to starve your body again.

I recommend joining and committing in your mind for 3 months. It takes awhile to get the hang of it, simple as it seems! Three things: 20 mins of movement/exercise, under a calorie goal that you set for yourself, and track everything you consume. No weigh-ins. Just three habits & an awesome group of fellow travelers!

UAC has “saved me” countless times. And I know that’s what I need. Maybe you do, too? 😊

Reading these last couple of posts have bee really interesting- thank you for taking the time to write them - they really do help. I'm looking fwd to checking in end of day with my 3 outcomes achieved. I've had to plan some exercise/ movement as I have just been cal counting to date - just as it's my first week so keeping it achievable. I've decide to put an audible book on headphones and bomb round the house tidying up, mopping and hoovering it'll get the heart rate up if I work quick without rest for 2 mins x 2 for 1!! Fitness and a clean house x

@ForAmanda222 Welcome aboard!!
I love your plan for exercise!! When I began my journey, I used major decluttering effort as my exercise, too! Kept me moving, gaining steps, and strengthening arms & back (especially lugging books!)

Do you have a Fitbit, Apple Watch or other fitness band? Things really improved for me when I got one.

Best,
Maddie

Hi,

I signed up for myfitnesspal today; I gained 26 lbs over the last 102 days (work/grad school/relationship stress). I have started the process of taking it off today.

Daily report of:
1)More than 20 minutes of daily exercise; - CHECK
2) Tracking the caloric intake of both food and beverage - CHECK
3) Consuming no more than your chosen limit of daily calories - CHECK
4)Daily or every third day reporting of your fulfillment of the above. - PLAN TO DO THIS

I'll fill out my profile more later on; I am welcoming friends to add me, along with anyone who wants to chat. Finding a workout partner is hard, and has been my excuse for a while. I am open to chatting about fitness, motivation, encouragement, etc.

Thanks guys, and have a great May!

Hi everyone,
I’m wanting to have a go at this but can’t seem to find where/how to record. I know I’m probably missing something obvious but could anyone help?

1. Click on the link below. You will find yourself at the "Join Group" page for the the May Ultimate Accountability Challenge (we "reboot" at the start of each month)
2. Join the May 2019 Ultimate Accountability Challenge Group
3. Right at the top is a "What's On Your Mind?" sub-thread. This is our "general chat room" area - share recipes, motivation, encouragement, upcoming challenges etc. It is one thread for the entire month, so it is a good place for backing-and-forthing.
4. Scroll down and you will see a list of dates. Click onDate you are reporting
5. The top entry of every "day" is a list of The Big 3 questions. You can copy this if you wish, and put "yes/no" or "CHECK/NOPE" after the question - with or without additional detail ... or just put "3 X Yes", or something in-between. After a few days of scrolling and responding to others' entries, you will find yourself settling into what wording suits your personal style. You can also specify any particular special challenges or wins here if you wish ... but everyone moves on to report on the next thread the next day.
