**ROLL CALL!!** July Water Drinking Challenge!! Sign Up Here!!

I figured, since it was getting close to the end of June, that I'd go ahead and start the sign-ups for the July Water Challenge.  If you are interested, please add your name to this thread.  I will take names up until July 1st, then closing the sign-ups.  If you miss 2 weeks of totals, you will be removed from the participation list.  However this challenge tends to happen each month, so you are more than invited to join then!

Hi,

This is my first challenge.  I'll be trying for the 68oz of water a day.

Good luck to all!

Good afternoon sarahcalcia and lolokaiwahine!  You have both been added to the list.  Welcome and best of luck to you both!

I don't know how to insert all of those tickers and things into my profile :( Sorry, I am tech-challenged.

I'm up for 64 oz daily, that's 1984 for the entire month of July (that's how I'll tally it).

For those who are unsure of how to do it, here is a thread that explains how to insert the ticker and other graphics in to your profile:

I would like to join.

100 oz/day (700 oz/week ~ 3100 oz/month)

Thanks!

Amy

I'm going to go for 100oz a day because I live in a hot, humid climate and do an intensive workout every morning so I really should be drinking at least this much in summer. Sign me up! I may not have time to update tickers etc but I will keep track of my intake.

Aloha from Hawaii.  Sign me up please.

100 oz/day (700 oz/week ~ 3100 oz/month)


Best of luck fellow participants!

Count me in for 100 oz a day.  I'm active at work and a VERY thirsty individual!  Go team! :-D
