AWESOME! At 228 I am still chasing ONEderland and will be for a few more weeks. But I am THRILLED that you reached it this week! Way to go!!!

So close to goal, Wags...way to go!

Awesome! Love it that you reached your goal today!

My stats: 31-Oct 238.2 07-Nov 236.2 17-Nov 232.4 21-Nov 228.4 TG Goal 228.0 Yippee!

Awesome! Glad to see you are definitely back in the game. I just got into the 220s myself so I'm right behind you in this. I love it that we are [all] moving forward together.

Although it's still a little early, I wanted to go ahead and get things set up for a new challenge...the Christmas - New Year Challenge! 1. Be sure and log in here on Wednesday, November 27, post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge. 2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that challenge is 5 weeks long. 3. Weigh in every Wednesday and post your updates here. 4. Watch the data at http://sdrv.ms/1cGHwsS to see our progress as individuals and as a team. GOOD LUCK!

Just moved into the 220s today (well, just barely at 229.8). I don't remember passing through them on my way up, so it must have happened many years ago. Losses are steady and I'm doing well, but crossing over into a different category every now and then is more fun than ever. I still have a LONG way to go, but am keeping on course. Yippee for progress!

Okay...that was a little bizarre, but not the weirdest thing I've seen on this new website interface. I've got your weight posted now. Thanks!

You are the third member to report a move into Onderland this week! Big CONGRATS!!!

Thanksgiving Challengers (just for fun):

Congrats to you BOTH for making it to Onederland this week! I notice there are a few more people who many join you before the challenge is over...now how cool is that!? I'm planning on my Onderland crossover during the Easter challenge, but I can wait...I'm doing fine. It's just so exciting to see some of you moving into new places. It not only makes us excited for you and your progress but also for ourselves, knowing what is possible. CONGRATS!

Welcome to the group! I'd love to add you to the charts and graphs, but need to know...what is your Thanksgiving goal?

Hi gamergirl, just wanted to say I DID get your message but the system will not allow me to 1) respond to it, or 2) send you a message. I get an error message that says something like, "you are not allowed to use the message system". Anyway, I do want to have a longer "conversation" with you. If you want, please email me one of your regular email addresses so I can draft a proper response later. Briefly, my answer is "yes, you will be able to figure out how to create your own little 'tool' set" and "yes, I will be glad to help you over any hurdles". More to come later... (Email me at bea@amaya.com).

Following gamergirl's awesome lead on this topic, I created a webapp that does the calculations for you. Now you can check your own progress as you lose. Enjoy. http://bea.amaya.com/PercentEWL.html

Losses are slow but steady. Finally dropping clothes sizes. All is well and I remain on target!

P.S. I think it's AWESOME that you figured out how to get a ticker in your signature. I tried 1) using the tickers built-in here--there are no working images; 2) using a TickerFactory ticker--my profile page says I can only use a minuscule 250 wide image; 3) removing the image altogether from my signature so I lose that stupid "image missing" logo--no matter what I try, the site automation puts the darn thing back every time. I believe myself to be relatively intelligent and tech-savvy, so you KNOW I'm impressed when someone else figures out a work-around that works. AWESOME! LOL!

Hi Irs...to keep the sheet "clean" I usually hide the rows that show people that haven't reported in yet. Once they report in, I make those rows visible again. Your name was on the sheet, but was hidden. You should be showing up now. Thanks (and congrats on your loss this week!)

The stats for this week are really looking good! Two people lost a whopping 5 lbs, another two lost 4 lbs, and an amazing additional six people lost between 3 and 4 lbs. Overall, the 30 people that reported in this week lost over 60 lbs together. That is just AWESOME! Way to go EVERYONE!!!

NO WORRIES!!! I think we are ALL struggling with this new site. I was so disappointed with this site I even went looking for a new "sandbox" to play in last night. If things don't get better soon, I may switch over to the ThinnerTimesForum. I hate to leave the support community here that have been so helpful to me over the past few months, but I really need something that works, something that does not pop up error messages at the top of every page. Anyway, hopefully this site will straighten itself out soon!

Yes...if you go to the very first post in this thread (page 1) you'll see the links, instructions, updates, etc.

Just checking, Lew...is this 347 or 374?

Updates so far are posted. I'm sure we'll get used to this new site, but it's definitely different. I saw a LOT of multiple postings, and (at least on my view) everybody's tickers are "broken" now. Still, we have 11 people reporting in so far, so surely people will get the hang of the changes and start reporting in soon. I was down 2 lbs this week! Yippee! Perhaps there's a chance for me to make that Thanksgiving goal after all. Fingers crossed!

Got it! Good luck!

Send me your start weight (or wait and start with tomorrow's weight) and your goal weight and I'll add you to the list. Welcome to the challenge!
