All righty! Sign up time is here! I'll go ahead and make a template if you'd like to use it when you sign up. This will be the main thread of the challenge, so if you'd like to chat, please use the Anyone Interested thread to chat on before sign up time is over.
1) Sign ups start now and end Wednesday, February 20, 2008.
2) Challenges are announced on Fridays via this thread and run from Wednesday of one week to Tuesday of the next. We'll post whether or not we met the challenge on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll post the names of the challenge winners on Wednesdays (on the Kudos thread).
3) Weigh-ins are optional. All the challenges are more centered on being healthy than a particular weight loss goal (esp. since that's not always fair to the smaller folks on this forum
).
If you want to track your weight, though, just post your starting weight when you post your template and then weigh in Tuesday or Wednesday when you post whether or not you met the challenge that week.
4) This week's challenge (that starts the 20th) is:
Week 1: Water – Divide your body weight in half. That’s the number of ounces you’ll probably need. And it’s very likely more than you normally drink. Also, add 8 oz. for each 20 min. you exercise. Or if that's too much, just do the normal 64. I'm 240 so that's 120 oz. without moving at all.

A gallon of water a day is about "1 gallon [US, liquid] = 128 ounce [US, liquid]." That is way more then I drink usually so it WILL be a challenge.
