These challenges can be done in addition to the main 2-week challenges - you can sign up for both the main or the mini challenge or only one or the other! The Mini Challenges will run for one week at a time, and you can sign up for as many as you'd like to! So far the challenges we have are:

- Most water intake [in ounces]
- Most exercise output [in calories]
- Least junk food eaten [in calories]

Suggestions for additonal challenges are also welcome!

Post in this thread with which challenges you are going to sign up for, and on Monday, November 14, I'll open up individual threads for each challenge for everyone to report their progress,and after one week, we'll tally it all up and declare the winners!

Just a suggestion, because these are for YOUR benefit, you should sign up for a challenge that you actually need work in!

I'm signing up for the junk food challenge this week since I am most terrible at eating bad foods, especially if I can justify it by saying it won't take me over my calorie limit. But there are good calories and bad calories, and I need to improve!
 
All but exercise, I have to follow a plan done out by my coach so I really can't do too much, since I just got cleared to run after a month of crutches!!

But I definitely need help with the water and junk food.
 
*BUMP*

Just a reminder, I'm starting these tomorrow, and so far we only have THREE takers, including myself!

List so far:
Water: runforfun529
Exercise: Pinky
Junk food: beagle, runforfun529.

I know we can do better!
 
yeah come on you guys.. theres no point in me uping my amount of exercise this week if no one is gonna join in.. Its monday here today.. so technically im meant to start today! lol How boring! I got no one to compete against excpet myself. :)
 
Tell you what Pinky, I'll go up against you for exercise this week, and hopefully more people will join in next week :) Rather than making new threads, we'll just use this one for now.

So just report back here how much exercise you did, in terms of calories if you can find it. .
 
I'll join for water and exercise!

are we just keeping track of the intentional exercise we do? or should we count all daily activities? (it would be MUCH easier to just do the intentional stuff)

I also have a suggestion as far as reporting our information... If each person will make one post and then click on the "edit" button, we can create a running total for each person that will be much easier to read and pay attention to - and we can also see easier how much more effort we have to put in to beat someone else! I'll start and be the "example" of how it might look...

I like amonono's idea for the tracking, lets do that. As far as what exercise your counting, then daily activities do count, but you are at least somewhat competing with other people who are exercising!

E: walking around campus and taking the long way to avoid going outside (200)
