I think the metrics we have now are good, perhaps we don't need water but other people can chime in on it. I also like the idea of some extra challenges. Perhaps we should come up with a couple of general ones that we can rotate through as last time it was hard to keep up with ideas.

Perhaps:

1. Exercise Challenge: Add 30 min to your regular exercise routine at least 3-4 times a week ( I guess we have to set a daily goal).
2. Eating Challenge: Eat your full serving of fruit and vegetable each day for the week.
3. Exercise Challenge: Try three new exercises during the week.
4. Personal Motivation Challenge....

When should we start this weekend? Maybe on friday with out first weigh in to set out point. When we are good I will put together a new spreadsheet for us all.

I just copied/quoted Pat's comments above for todays thread.

I am in agreement with the above! And I like the idea of OMITTING the water challenge. I can't do that..I pee too much and can't afford to do that at work all the time (OK, I know....toooooooo much information!! lol)

Starting Friday is good....I like the challenges Pat has listed, and the % system too. And maybe the deadline should be Friday Dec. 19...looking at the calendar...that is the last Friday before the holidays and I will be in the US on the 17th to post hopefully that last day of the challenge.

Pat if you can do the spreadsheet that is terrific. Not sure if Heather is up for this or not. She is busy on vacation with family in town I think at the moment.

So are we all in this to win it????? lol

It all sounds great to me and I definitely agree with the % idea, it evens the field up. Just let me know when we're starting so I remember to weigh in. Oh, and Nancy, I'm not in it to win it, I'm in it to "lose" it, hehehehehe.

Sounds good. I will put together the spreadsheet tomorrow. Perhaps post in the other group to see if their are other people who want to join.

Do we want a prize for this one or what. If we do then maybe we do a pool type prize. Where everyone donates something small and whoever wins gets the pool. Just a thought.

Spreadsheet sounds good to me. And Pat I dropped out of the other group.....but don't mind others joining the challenge here on this forum. (I dropped because I thought too many of the members where going off the track to many times and talking about it and I needed more positive motivation instead of that sort of 'negative' reinforcement that sort of was saying....I blew it so but it was OK).

But I am fine if they are up for the challenge! I like the idea of the 'pool'....I am still willing to donate an Amazon.com gift cert too....so whatever you guys decide.

And Dee....yes.....we are in it to 'lose' it!!! Good one!!!!! lol
