Ultimate Accountability Challenge, September...Personal Success and Friendly Support

I’d love to join!

I’ve been a member since January 2021 and it’s a game changer. It’s not magic, making the winners circle is hard, but we don’t give up. I’ve only made the winners circle once, but I’m still here, still developing good habits. The people on the UAC have become friends who provide support, encouragement, and advice. Join us, stick with it, you won’t regret it.

I've been participating in this group since May and there is no way I could recommend this group any higher.

I fall into the "weight losers" category of members as I am trying to lose weight, but I would like to become one of the "maintainers" to KEEP myself at my target weight. Currently I'm going from my March 8th weight of 297 pounds, to 237.4 pounds this morning, with a target goal of 180 pounds. There is no firm timeline to reach that goal weight, I just want to GET THERE.

I'm approaching 50 years old and have been either overweight or obese for my entire adult life. I have done many, many diets before. I have done all sorts of exercise before. I have lost a whole lot of weight before, but here are the things I have NEVER done (not even once) which I am 100% determined to finally achieve:

• Drop to a weight in Normal BMI range.
• Reach my ideal BMI weight of 180 pounds.
• Keep myself within normal BMI weight range.

Just a couple months ago I would have said that my best health results were from 2014-2016 here on MFP when I lost 96 pounds (from 316 pounds down to 220 pounds) and started running many half marathons and full marathons. While I was the fittest, strongest ever version of myself during that time, I never reached any of those weight goals listed above. Once I stopped being active altogether by 2019 (no good reason) I gained most all of that weight back.

Now that I am at a similar weight to when I was doing all that running, and have spent the last 5 months building my fitness back up, I actually feel like my best results lie ahead with this here challenge. That is saying a WHOLE LOT for anyone who has ever crossed their first half marathon or marathon finish line, and I really do mean it. I am not saying any of that lightly. This is working and will get me there.

Why I think this group is so important is that it has those 3 daily check-in requirements that keep them on the forefront of your mind. That keeps me from losing focus on any of them. In the past I became so caught up in the joys of running farther than I ever imagined, that weight loss went onto the back burner. Not to mention it put a serious hunger on me, I needed to eat! But with these 3 daily goals, it keeps me in line and doesn't let me spin out of control on some tangent.


I hope to see you there!

I thoroughly recommend joining UAC. Its members are supportive and very motivating.

I’ve been in the group now for over two years, and I have never regretted joining it. The accountability it gives helps you to develop habits that will assist your quest for fitness and health.

I have been maintaining now for over a year, and the UAC has been instrumental in that success.

Sep will be my 11th month in the UAC. I've lost 45 lbs and with the help and inspiration of the UAC I now have a PLAN to keep it off this time around!! I've only made it into the Winner's Circle a handful of times, but the knowledge that I've learned about maintaining and keeping the weight off is invaluable as I begin to move from a "loser" to a "maintainer" !! I'm excited for you to join us in this journey and hope you'll consider checking out the UAC for September.

We enthusiastically welcome newcomers and ongoing team members!

The Ultimate Accountability Challenge (UAC) provides both weight losers and maintainers with incredible accountability partners AND an emphasis on life-changing healthy basic habits.
This is not the flash-in-the-pan "biggest anything" short-term challenge. This is the real deal!!

The 3 Big Rules accountability is a regular posting of your:

• 20 minutes or more of daily exercise;
• Tracking the caloric intake of both food and beverage;
• Consuming less than your chosen limit of daily calories

A non-fulfillment of any of the above equals a Pass Day. There are 3 Pass Days allowed per month.
Those who end the month with less than 4 Pass days are celebrated in the monthly Winner's Circle Qualification.

And
Those who regularly post throughout the month, are celebrated as UAC Champions.
