Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Is it too late for me to join this?!

If not my starting weight is 192lb - goal weight for Christmas is 182lb. Fingers crossed!!

I want in please. I didnt know there was a check in every week rule so I will be sure to do so! Current weight 179 New Years goal 167!! Whoohoo!

How do we get our names on the spreadsheet?

Just put your starting weight for today and the goal weight you want to be at for new years. Bea will "like" your post and that means she updated the spread sheet. each week she will like your post and add your current weight to the sheet. :) hope that helps

Do you add my info to the Excel sheet, or am I supposed to?

Hi Dana,

I usually go in once or twice a day to make updates to the sheet. The way you'll know if I've already updated it with your new information is that you'll see a "Like" by me on the topic posting where you entered your data. Good luck and welcome to the group!

Oops! Thanks for this, Sophie. It looks like I posted a response without noticing that you already had. Thanks so much anyway. And good luck in the challenge!

I'll take care of it. I usually make an update in the mornings (before work) and another in the evenings when I get home. You'll know I've updated your data if you see my "Like" on your posting. Welcome to the challenge, and good luck!!

Looks like a great start to this challenge! We've had 17 report in today and I expect more to join over the next couple of days as well. Lots of NEW faces, which is always exciting. For me, the other challenges have been a whole lot of fun, but this one takes us right into the new year, and that over the often difficult "holiday gluttony period". So I'm very excited to see us all here encouraging each other and reporting in--good and bad--making us accountable for our choices and giving us access to others who truly understand how we feel. There's something powerful to be said for that, even if we are only "virtual friends"!

Good luck to everyone over the next few weeks, and have a SAFE, HAPPY, and HEALTH Thanksgiving!!!

Thanks again Bea! I really think these challenges help keep me on track!
