This definitely helps me keep on track. So excited to be getting my fitness back after a rough year last year. July is birthday month so I may not make the winners circle with celebrations but I'm back in the routine of eating mostly healthy so I can afford a few extra treats.

Hello! Would love to join this challenge! Not sure how the groups work. Kinda new to this area of MFP.

I wanna join. I am new to this apps .

Welcome to you both! Consider yourselves joined for July! Nothing much will seem to happen (apart from Introductions) until July 1, so why not come "practice how the challenge works" by joining the Ultimate Accountability Challenge June 2020 group.

You can see how things are laid out (we report in on a new sub-discussion each day), get to know us from our inputs to the "What's On Your Mind, Today?" thread. Make yourself known to the degree you wish (we range widely from regular conversations to minimalist "3 x yes" entries - both and everything inbetween is fine.

I am happy to find this challenge! See you in July.

I just pressed the join button! I have been a member of the UAC since January so July will be my 7th month. Each month I post fewer and fewer pass days. Before joining, if I had a day when I went off the rails, that would turn into consecutive days, then weeks, then maybe months. After a few months in this group, if I had a day like that, my mindset started to change and I started to get up the next morning and jump right back on. Now it has changed to the point where if I have a bad moment in the day, I don't let it derail the rest of the day and I get right back on track that day. Who knew that was even possible? I haven't made it to the winner's circle yet but I am consistently losing weight and gaining muscle every month. Everyone's posts are supportive, encouraging and inspirational. This is not a competition -- this is a group of people cheering each other on and celebrating the victories and accomplishments of one another.

Hello all, I joined MFP May 17/20 and am still exploring around. Happened upon this challenge tonight and am excited to try it. Based on an above comment, I also joined the June challenge to 'get my feet wet & get used to the water' so to speak. Reading through some comments, this challenge might be perfect for me as I am struggling to break some old bad habits and develop some new good habits. Looking forward to July 1, good luck to all!

Hi! I’m a wife and a SAHM (3 kids). I’ve extreme clutter and no refrigerator. Nonetheless, I’m focusing on health this month because I’m in shock at weighing in at my heaviest, 250 lbs.

I’m joining The UAC (again, after over 5 years away from MFP) bc the challenge seems fun! Not the nitty-gritty of the logging and posting, that’s not fun IMO, but the intended result: establishing a healthy habit!

I get the slightest jolt of joy thinking that on the other end of a couple months of teeny grind I might have an established healthy habit. That’s hope at work!

Thanks for setting up The Challenge!
Thanks for being the host @RangerRickL and all your hard work!

Hi all im kate ive been MIA for a few months lost my wee dad last year then covid !!! weight been creeping on here goes for a healthier July

Hi All,

Thanks @RangerRickL for this thread and accountability.

I was down to 1.1kg away from my target weight last year, and after a death in the family it has slowly slid up to my starting weight.

I discovered yesterday that I had been seriously underestimating my weekly lockdown take-away, which I hope has accounted for the gain. (thai green curry = 3000 per meal).

So, now that I've figured that out, hopefully tracking and mindfulness can bring me back down to target weight - and hopefully I can stay there. I'm so fed up yo-yo ing.

Good luck everyone
