Ok guys Spreadsheet is up

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsgpZlc1QKD1dGt0ME5VODNUaVZzODFONW1kZEhMX0E&hl=en

Just put in your goal Loss, your starting weight and then the amount you loose each week.

you just either go file, save and close or close the window.

totals down the bottom show the group effort.

Please do not over write any calculations, only edit the pink squares as I have done in the first line,

If we need more lines it easily done just PM me or if you know how to do it go ahead. =)

Any problems let me know

Best of luck to us all!

Bumping up the spreadsheet!

Burlington County--Cherry Hill area, near Philly. Again, very small world :-)!

Nice! I'm going to Marlton twice a week for the No Boundaries program at the Fleet Feet store. Are you a runner? I'm always looking for other runners/wls people!

Hey guys, I dont think I explained how to use the spread sheet properly, each week you need to enter in how much you have lost, not your weight. If you have lost 2 pounds then type in -2.

this should make the ending weight equal your current weight.

If, like me you have put on weight, you put it just as a positive. I.e i put on .52, therefore its a positive.

If your using Kilos and you need to quickly convert into pounds theres a little section up the top where you can put in how many Kilos you weight, and then translate it to pounds, or how many kilos you lost and it will calculate it into pounds.... NOTE this does not work for the reverse, so please dont put in how many pounds you weight and expect it to calculate the amount of kilos you weight.

Down the bottom its going to calculate how far away we all are from our goal as a group effort.

I will delete people at the end of the challenge who havent updated at all so we can get a good idea of how much we all pledged and how much we have actually lost.

As a group we are pledging to loose 271 pounds! Thats me! Come on people lets loose me!

Ive also put a nice little light blue square down the bottom that shows what percentage of our goal we have done. Seeing how its not even monday and only 2 people have weight in (one being a small gain, hopefully tomorrow the official weigh in day will present a loss) its only .4% but... monday it should increase with everyones brilliant losses!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
