Hydration Challenge Purpose

The purpose of the Hydration Challenge is to encourage the user to consume the recommended amount of water per day based the their own body weight. 

Hydration Challenge Overview

The Hydration Challenge focuses on the amount of water the user needs to drink based on their body weight.

The following actions must occur to effectively use this challenge: 

1. Challenge Setup - Set up and configure the Hydration Challenge.
2. User Registration - User needs to register from their home page and set up a SMART goal.
3. Progress Tracking - User logs their daily water intake in the progress page and reviews progress.
