The Bank for Losers

This is a fun way to keep yourself motivated to do certain things.  These things will help you in your journey to be healthier.  At the end of the month, the person with the most "money" in their bank will be the winner! 

Here is a breakdown of what you will need to do to get "money" in your bank:

Daily

Water: +$.50 per 8 oz.
Exercise: +$1.00 per 10 minutes
Reach your personal calorie goal: +$2.00
Update the thread: +$1.50 

Weekly

Weight Loss: +$5.00 per 1 lb

Penalties

Weighed more than once per week: -$2.00
Went over your personal calorie limit: -$3.00
No exercise: -$1.50

At the end of the month, the person with the highest amount of "money" in their bank will get a certificate of recognition from me.  It will be very professional looking as I am quite experienced in making these types of certificates.  I will email it to you and then you can print it off and hang it up for everyone to see!  Or just keep it on your computer as a reminder of how far you came.

If this goes well, we will do this every month. :-) 

Sign up here by Jan. 31st.  I will open the challenge on Feb. 1st. in the Challenges forum.

If you have any questions, just ask me... Either here or privately.  

Yay! Its feb. 1 !!! Let the games begin!!!

Yes!  I am ready too!!

Is it too late to join??

All ready to go on this.  Looking for the start up thread.  I sooo need to drink more water.  I actually like water but somedays I just forget all day and then all I've drank is coffee and latte.  I'm up to 13 x 8 oz glasses already, may be able to squeeze in another double before bed.  Gosh... am I going to be up peeing all night?  We'll see.

Well, I don't see the other thread, so I'm going to do my first post here?

I hope she didn't forget!   I'm going to post just in case she just got really busy.  She's in KY so maybe she got hit with the storms we're getting here in the midwest.  **crosses fingers she's ok**

Ok guys...what I did...as a just in case...is I created a spreadsheet to help keep track until she creates a thread for it.  Whatcha think.  I was a little bored. 

I really liked this idea and hope it stays.  I hope nobody minds.

I know it started on the first, any chance I might be able to jump in on this?  Looks fun and I have nothing better to do.  Let me know thanks.
