1. EXERCISE EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES.
Be active every day for the entire month. Even if it's just cleaning your house for 20 minutes, be active. Skip a day and you're out of the challenge.
2. CONSUME ONLY YOUR BUDGETED CALORIES.
Set a calorie goal for the day and don't exceed it. Eat ONLY your budgeted calories every day for the entire month. Skip a day and you're out of the challenge.
3. TRACK EVERYTHING YOU EAT AND DRINK.
Keep track of ALL food and beverages consumed every day for the entire month. Skip a day and you're out of the challenge.
4. CHECK IN.
Post in the "Sign-in" threads of this forum at least once every three days (preferably daily) to let the moderator know that you're still doing the challenge and that you haven't slipped up. Even if you are checking in only every three days, you still have to account for ALL days during the month. SIGN-INS ARE LISTED UNDER THE DISCUSSION SECTION - click on "All Discussions" if you don't see the current sign-in date displayed on the list. They're all there!
5. "I PASS" DAYS
You are allowed three "pass" days for the month. You may use a pass day if you are unable to complete the daily challenge due to illness or other circumstances. There is a 3-day pass day limit for the month. If you exceed three pass days, you will be out of the challenge. If you need to use a pass day, report it in the sign in thread for that date. For example:
Date: (State the date)
Pass day
5. Post using the following format (feel free to copy and paste):
Date: (State the date)
Exercised?: Yes or No is OK, but if you are comfortable, tell us what you did and for how long. It's just more interesting!
Calories?: Yes or No
Tracked?: Yes or No
Account for every day of the month. If you can get to a computer only once every three days, your post needs to look something like this:
January 1
Exercised?: Yes. Walked at 2 mph for 30 minutes.
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
January 2
Exercised?: Yes. Kicking it to Kid Rock and shaking it to Santana for half hour.
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
January 3
Exercised?: Yes. Active horseback riding for 55 minutes.
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
6. Post only AFTER you have completed your day.
7. Every once in a while, stop by the "Introductions and Updates" thread and let us know how you're doing or respond to someone who has posted there.
8. Be honest. If you slip up, you've lost the challenge for the month. All of this is done on the honor system. The moderator does not check diaries. If you choose to cheat, you are only cheating yourself.
Good luck!

For #2 its net calories right? I.e I want 1400 but if I eat 1500 and exercise 500 calories I'm good right? Active days need more food or it leads to starvation and binging.0

Correct. Calories expended during exercise will increase your daily allowance.0 -
