2011 Fitness Challenge Signup

[SteelBlue]

I keep getting told that my confirmation code isn't correct. The only real problem with that is that I wasn't given nor have I been entering a confirmation code.

I think once you clicked on the link in the email you got registered. I got that same incorrect code message but when I went back to the site later it let me log in. Also, I don't think anyone needs to post where they're from etc... as I think the site will soon have us doing all that.

I'll play. I know someone volunteered to make a spreadsheet, and that is awesome, but how about I just make a website where you can input your own numbers and it will auto-generate the stats and tables and such?

That seems better than having someone manually track the stuff...

About time someone technically literate took over. Thank you!!! :clap:

[FMCoug]

Excellent idea, especially because FMCoug will have to be a Utahn. We should take a headcount to make sure the numbers are more or less even but I like it!

I signed up anyway but if I give up because of the distaste being associated with Team Utah causes me, I will haunt you from my premature grave.

Since I'm one of the fattest guys on the board, if we go the calories route y'all want me on your team. My vote is we go with calories but it has to be an actual workout activity. And use Livestrong as th standard calculator.

Ha! And here I thought my little troll had failed.

Regarding 'countable activities', in order to avoid ridiculousness, I think that we should set the general rule that the primary purpose of the activity should be to increase or maintain fitness. I realize there are plenty of health benefits to an active lifestyle, but this is a fitness challenge, after all. So, ohioblue, if that's the primary purpose of the table tennis (and it sounds like it very well could be), then cool. I hope that's not the primary purpose of your sex life, as impressive as your ten times a week is.

I trust people realize I was kidding. My wife certainly got a good laugh out of it.

As for countable activities, sounds good to me. Whatever people decide is fine.

If that's all you burn you ain't doing it right. You burn more sitting according to Livestrong.

how about vs. laying on one's back?

[San Juan Sun]

I'm getting pumped about the competition. It should be fun.

Here's a thought: could we trade participants like they do in fantasy football? So if someone wasn't performing, you could trade them for someone that might fit better on your team?

"Here. we'll trade you this guy at the bottom of our list for some guy at the top of yours."

[TripletDaddy]

I would like to participate but only if there has been some progress moving forward beyond the blatant and ugly ellipticism that has existed here in contests past.

We need a "in but not of Utah" division.
