Okay everyone. The Halloween Challenge was a big deal to me as a newbie. I was banded on Sept. 2 and I am doing very well, partly because of that spreadsheet! So a big thank you to LeighaMason who put together the spreadsheet. I put one together this morning for The Christmas Challenge. I figured that I could basically copy and paste, in doing so, I messed up the Halloween spreadsheet...so my apologies to Zeniada...I had no idea what I was doing and I messed up your line!! I feel terrible!

However, I somehow managed to get a spreadsheet put together...I hope it works. My goal is to another 8 pounds by the Monday after Christmas. Weigh ins will be Mondays, as usual, beginning on the 8th. Here is the link. I hope it works for everyone. If something isn't letting you read or edit, let me know, I may need to change my privacy settings.

Good luck to all who wish to participate.

Amanda

Okay, apparently I don't know how to post a link. Urg. If someone can help a technology challenge goof get a link up, let me know

Ok, it looks good for my name anyhow. I copied my stats, just in case I need them to complete the challenge. Yea I no longer gained 72 pounds.

Yup, my weekly weights have all been changed. I corrected where I could. Made my X-mas goal and hit my New year's goal too!

You go girl! I met mine too! I keep looking ahead to that cruise in August. Darn! I'm probably gonna need a new wardrobe, awwhhhh!!

I re-entered my weight loss last week as my name had disappeared. I have just looked at the spread sheet and there are hardly any names on it and my name is missing again. I was really enjoying the xmas challenge and was grateful to Amanda for creating it. I am disappointed the spreadsheet has been messed up like this again. I can see no reason for anyone to change the spreadsheet, we only had to enter weight loss in the row with our name.

sorry to vent

Someone screwed with the spreadsheet and changed all the weights. Mine is completely wrong now so I guess I am done with this challenge. Very Childish behavior!

I agree. My stats keep getting erased or changed. I am also done with this challenge and will keep my own stats.

For some reason, I didn't get erased. Last time, my name got duplicated a bunch of times but the original one was left. Anyways, I recorded my loss for this week. Hopefully there won't be anymore shenanigans on the spreadsheet for the final week.

Also, don't forget - there is also the New Year's Challenge (link is in my signature). The format is a bit different (should someone erase everything, you'd only need to re-enter your starting weight and current weight and goal weight...you don't need to remember your loss for each individual week) but I actually prefer it to weekly recording because you don't need to remember all that stuff should someone mess around with the spreadsheet.

Anywho, good luck to everyone in the final week!!

My weight was all messed up too. I've kept my ticker up-to-date. Getting close, but don't think I'll make my goal. It's going to be a Merry Christmas anyway!

I hit my Christmas Goal ahead of schedule:lol: , i can't wait to see the true numbers on Sunday! Goodluck and happy holidays to everyone!!!!

Hello,

I would love to join the New Year's Challenge! I followed your link but it went to a spreadsheet for the current challenge. How do I sign up for the new challenge?

Thanks, Joan

Darn, I did not know about the New Years Challenge till today. Kinda late to be signing up for it. That's ok, I'm sure you will have one for Valentines day. Everyone have a great holiday.

Mine wasn't messed with either.

Merry Christmas to me! I plateaued for 2.5 weeks. I journal EVERYTHING I eat and went just over 900 calories once, but all other days stayed under 800! I was getting frustrated to say the least. Got on the scale today for the first time in 3 days (I was out of town) and I dropped 3 lbs! YaY!

I am still one pound away from my goal ... 2 days to go so hopefully I will lose one more ... but after a frustrating 2.5 weeks, I'll take this weight with a smile!

I was 2.5 lbs from meeting my challenge goal last Monday. I got on two different scales, though not ones I normally weigh on, and they showed me 5.5 lbs down, 2.5 under my goal. I know a bunch of it is probably water loss, but I am taking it! Unfortunately I probably gained 5 lbs back yesterday...

I didn't make my goal weight but I'm still happy with the progress that I have made even when I went on a cruise for a week. I hope everyone is happy with their results...When is the next challenge?
