Although it's still a little early, I wanted to go ahead and get things set up for a new challenge...the
Thanksgiving Challenge.



1. Be sure and log in here on October 31, post your start weight and your goal weight for the challenge.
2. When setting your goal, keep in mind that this is a short challenge, only 4 weeks long.
3. Weigh in every Thursday and post your updates here.
4. Watch the data at http://sdrv.ms/1c1AT8J to see our progress as individuals and as a team.

GOOD LUCK!

Big nod out to FeelsMe2 for setting up the Halloween Challenge that we're having so much fun with! Just trying to follow suit with the next challenge. To check out the Halloween Challenge data, go to http://sdrv.ms/19Qmc3j.

Grrr...(Bea doesn't like it when links don't work and stuff is unavailable to folks!)

I'm not sure what the problem is, Seela, so I'm hoping someone else will jump in and let us know if they are having the same problems or not. Here's how things are supposed to work...

Instead of posting an updated spreadsheet that people will have to download all the time, I have found that by posting a spreadsheet on my "SkyDrive" and sharing the link, people can generally click on the link, have the spreadsheet open inside of a browser page, and not have to download copies over and over. The main drawback is that you have to know something about Excel to try the different pages, change the charts and graphs, or do things like sort and filter.

You problem seems different, however, since it seems you don't get the embedded spreadsheet when you click on the link. Could someone else chime in and let us know if this is a general problem or something perhaps specific to Seela? Big thanks for helping out!

Well I I'm at 338 so I made it

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Beginning challenge weight: 239

Thanksgiving goal: 225

Today's weight : 223

Woohoo!

Well, I didn't make my goal, but this was my first challenge and I am still figuring out how my weight loss with the sleeve. Down 10 lbs in 4 weeks, so I am still happy with that!

Today's weight- 220
