Thanksgiving Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone started a Thanksgiving Challenge? If not, would anyone want to? I don't really know how to format a spreadsheet. I am at 224 today and am aiming for 214 by Thanksgiving, which is about 4 weeks from now.

That would be so awesome if you wanted to start a spreadsheet for a Turkey Day Challenge!

Hey I made a spreadsheet!!! Wahoo!! Here is the link:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Am5-D5xrt3dKdDJMUVVabzBnMG1qY3JBeWxScGItM0E&hl=en&authkey=CMjw7tUJ

Encourage everyone to join the Turkey Day Challenge 2010!!

Edit: its not formatted correctly so the colums add up right!! if anyone knows how to do that it would be awesome - the basic spreadsheet is there, it just needs the right formulas. So close lol!

Hey I actually think I figured out how to format my spreadsheet. If its cool, can we use that one? I think its easier to enter current weight (and have the spreadsheet calculate pounds lost) rather than how many pounds per each individual week were lost (that's hard for me to track). Here is the link to the one I made: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Am5-D5xrt3dKdDJMUVVabzBnMG1qY3JBeWxScGItM0E&hl=en&authkey=CMjw7tUJ

Let me know what you think!

Also, I'm thinking with my spreadsheet, if some jerk comes in a deletes everything (like they did with the Christmas Challenge) you won't need to remember how many pounds you lost each individual week to sign yourself back up. You just have to remember your starting weight (or estimate), and enter your current weight and the sheet will do the rest for you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
