Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?

Seeing as how Christmas is six months from tomorrow, this would be a longish challenge. It would be for 26 weeks (26 weekly weigh ins). Anyone interested?

The spreadsheet is locked. I can't get into it.

It doesn't seem to like to load on the first click. I just reloaded the page and it came up fine.

Just added myself and my goal, btw!

40# by Christmas, but I think I might already have some headway as I haven't weighed since being banded 2 weeks ago. :)

I'm definitely in. I can't see the spreadsheet at work because apparently my work blocks it, so I will add myself later.

I like longer challenges. I plan to lose 10 Lbs per month until I reach my goal. So by Christmas I should have lost 57 Lbs. I know I can do it, I lose really good when I put my heart and mind into it.

Good luck to all.

Did anyone else notice that week 18 is missing on the spreadsheet? :thumbup:

Sounds good to me! Also, I dont mean to pick but, how come it doesn't add, subtract and give us a total at the end? If I knew how I to fix it I would. :thumbup: Sorry. Don't mean to be a pain. I do appreciate you making the spreadsheet, lauragshsu :)

Hi Amy - I put formulas in the total lost column and current weight column so that it will add the the total weight lost and calculate the current weight. You can copy those formulas for your row if you want. I just didn't want to assume everyone would want it.

I'm terrible w/ Excel... Would you be able to do it for me? :thumbup:

I'd really appreciate it! :)

EDIT: Nevermind! I figured it out! Thanks anyway! :car:

And again...one more "pick" hehe sorry! But...if the challenge started on July 1st (am I wrong about that?) how come the first box starts w/ July 1st. Shouldn't it start with the following week because we can't have a loss on the same day we started the challenge, know what I mean? Am I getting it wrong. Sorry to be such an annoyance. :drool:

if you started on July 1, you won't have a loss, but it won't hurt to have the same number recorded twice. (Some of us started a week ago.)

Let's give Laura a break. It's a personal challenge--so we can accept some responsibility for the mechanics for ourselves.

Wow. Ummm...thanks?

I believe most of us started last sunday or Monday. I weigh in every Friday, so I'm just using that as the weight I record.

Thank you! That's all I wanted to know.

Could you do this for me. Not sure how this is done, not too good with this stuff. I already entered for today.

Thanks Joyce

I just finished the July 4TH Challange and am now ready for this one too - I will start tomorrow - so by Christmas - so put me down for 45 pounds. Thank you for starting this cjallange - good for long term goals!

I did this, just copied it into the cells so it will auto calculate so long as everyone puts their results in.

Really happy to have this challenge. I am not as hell bent on losing the weight in a hurry as I was when I was younger! I am doing my best to take my time and work as much on the head and setting good expectations as I am on diet and exercise. This is just the little edge to keep me making good choices without going full on into diet mode. I am an all or nothing kind of dieter - I can diet better than most, never cheating, recording every morsel, losing weight fast, until I quit, then it's look out food! so now I am working on eating healthy, but not obsessively so :)
