OK, here is the official sign-up thread for the 2009 January-July challenge. If you want to participate in the challenge, just sign in here so we can get an idea of how many are up for it. I figured I'd start it now so this will give everyone a month to see the thread and get signed up and ready. There will be a separate thread for our beginning pics and stats due January 5.
Rules (basically, the same rules Julie originally gave us in January 2008!)
1. You can do any plan ... does NOT have to be NROL4W ... you can change plans mid-stream ... but you have to state what your plan is .
2. You MUST post your beginning stats and photos by midnight EST January 5. You must also post pictures once each month. If you don't want to post your pictures, then this challenge isn't for you. Everyone who posts their photos on time each month move on in the challenge. If you miss an update, you won't be in the challenge.
3. You are encouraged to keep a log in the training log forum. That way when you complain that you aren't making progress, we can look and see what you might/might not be doing that is contributing.
4. The challenge will run for 6 months ... you will be required to post progress photos and stats by the first Monday of each month and the final pics will be due on July 6. I encourage you to mark the first Monday of every month on your calendar so you will have a reminder. Winner will be decided by poll.
I'm in! I'm hoping to get rid of this funk I'm in by then so I can re-charge my motivation and kick the new year off right. I felt like I was just dragging through this past challenge and didn't make much progress.. I didn't regress, which is a good thing, but I basically just stayed where I was at and had a lot of ADD, lol. Anyway, long ramble over.. I'm in for the next one!
This will be my first challenge. Finished NROL4W in November & started Power Training Total Fitness last week. I should be at the 6wk mark of Power Training at the start of this challenge.
For new people just joining,....I urge you to PRACTICE posting pics before the posting deadline of January 5 so you won't be scrambling at the last minute.
1. You need to host your pictures somewhere. This can be your own webhost or website, if you have it. The majority of people use Flickr, Photobucket, Picturetrail or many others that serve this purpose.
3. OK, now you are ready to post your pics. Click on the little yellow box you see on top next to the earth with the paperclip. It will pop up a box and ask you for the URL of your PIC. You've got it copied. So now just do CTRL V and copy it in that box. OK, now it's posted. Continue to do this until all your pics are posted.
You won't be sorry!!! You could always have your log moved but then you'd miss out on all the fun you are going to have with us in the challenge! Trust me!
Jane, help a newbie! I started my training log thread.. managed to get my avatar by moving my photo from photobucket onto my computer. But try as I might, can't get a photo to post on my thread and I'm following your instructions as written. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Not sure....maybe you don't have your picture "public" on photobucket?
