A CAPTalk President's Challenge

[Tubacap]

So this was suggested in another thread.  If the mods don't mind us using the CAPTalk name, I think it would be a great way for some of us to get out and motivate ourselves to shed off some pounds. (As I close up the bag of potato chips to go running).

Money where mouth is time. I'll be in.

I've lost 30 pounds over the last couple of months and greatly increased my stamina, sure why not.

[DC]

Sure, what the heck...

How would this be run? (no pun intended)

[Tubacap]

I'm not sure, as soon as I get the okay from the Mods to use the CAPTalk name, I'll set up the group and post as to how to join and participate.

The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't compare yourselves directly to other individuals unless you're the group owner.  Then you can see everyone's results by name.  Otherwise you can just compare yourself to the average results of the other members. 

[CadetProgramGuy]

Tell you what.  I have a little time this summer.  I can run the administration side for you all.  I already am on a physical regimin.

What say you all?

[DADx11]

Count me in Will!!   

Oops... I mean, SIR!

[Eeyore]

I'm in, just give me a few weeks to recover from my car accident.

I needed some excuse to work out more often.

[DADx11]

Upon further consideration... Maybe I should qualify my acceptance of said challenge thusly:
It depends on who the President is at the time!

CadetProgramGuy, I am waiting for one Admin to respond via PM.

As far as it is not copywritten, it's just in good form to ask.

[CadetProgramGuy]

rog, will wait

[DNall]

I don't need to lose weight, but I don't like working out & would be happy to participate to that extent. I am highly supportive of programs like this for our adult members.

Copyrights (not copywrites) are funny things - the laws are a bit more complex than you'd think, especially for electronic media.  I would think that the board owner has copyrights whether he knows it or not.  If he's smart, he'll make sure that he protects them.
