March Ultimate Accountability Challenge for weight loss and maintenance

This is such a great group of like-minded folks working toward a healthier lifestyle. I've been a member since the second day I joined MFP back in 2018. I love this group and could not even consider not belonging! Thank you, @RangerRickL for all you do to keep the group going and so encouraging to all of us!

This additional accountability and support has made a tremendous difference to me. I’ve not been perfect and the good news is no one expects perfection. I’m just heading in the right direction with great support from all the UAC folks!!

Welcome everyone!!

My thanks to @RangerRickL and my UAC teammates.

I went from obese to normal last year and have been maintaining since November. I'm determined not to gain the weight back, but I still have shaky habits. The UAC is a friendly, supportive group that helps me to have a healthier lifestyle. I just have to show up every day and answer three questions. Great group.

This is, by far, one of THE best accountability challenge groups I’ve been in!

Three seemingly easy questions:

Did you exercise for at least 20 minutes? This one is the easiest for me, as I close my exercise ring on my watch daily.

The next two questions made things a little more challenging for me, personally:

Did you log everything you ate and drank? Until this challenge, I will honestly say that I was slack in this (ie not counting creamer in my coffee, for example) and I went back to weighing just about everything I ate at home. Work is a bit more challenging, but I utilize the food scale in the cafeteria every chance I get.

Did you stay within your calorie goal? I used to not worry about this, too much, because if I went over prior to this group, I had exercise calories to rely on. Now, I’m much more mindful with my logging, and have not eaten a single exercise calorie in February. No, it isn’t against the rules to eat some or all of those, but I challenged myself to not eat them this month, after eating a portion of them back in January. I lost 3 pounds this month, with just under a week to go!

I appreciate @RangerRickL for taking the time to manage this group! I’ve only been back on MFP since mid-January, but am beyond grateful for this group! I stumbled upon it in the forums the latter part of January and signed up immediately for the February challenge. I also sent the link to the March group to my best friend, as we work at the same place and have partnered up to walk twenty minutes after she clocks out each day.

These monthly challenges are win-win-win across the board!

Won’t y’all join us for the March challenge? 💖

Maintainer here. I've taken part in the UAC challenge since September, have found it very helpful, and signed up again for March.

If your looking for a great group who gives encouragement, helps you make your goals and find supportive friends.Then look no more. I've been with this group for over a yr. I really like it.you will too.

This is a great group-- trying to stay at 3 or fewer pass days is very motivating, but even if you don't, this is a supportive community with just the right amount of accountability and support! I hope you join!

This is a great group to keep accountable. It is a real challenge but it encourages you to be consistent which is the key to being healthy. Whatever your goals this is the challenge to join. Becoming a member of the coveted winners circle is a great reward.
