I'd like to join this challenge but i cant figure out how to put my name and current weight on the spread sheet....HELP!

Pretty_in_purple, just say it out loud here in a comment - Bea is the only person who can actually edit the sheet I think!

I'd like to be a part of this challenge. Is there somewhere I have to go to enter my name and stats? Someone please help! I'm fairly new to this site and this would be my first challenge.

Thanks to all who help!

God Bless =)

There's no deleting that I've found... But you're fine.

To add a bit to the conversation about the "spreadsheet"...

• The sheet is set up for "read-only" as it is posted in a space on the Internet that "belongs" to me in order to make it accessible by anyone with the link.
• While there won't be much to see in the first couple of weeks, the sheet should be set up to allow you to interact just a bit with it. For example...
  • A click on the "Overview" tab will let you see at a glance how the group is doing as a whole.
  • Want to know who will be getting some recognition for crossing a decade border during the current week? Look at column "U" on the "Stats" tab.
  • Want to see what your progress looks like over the life of the challenge? Click on your name in the selection box on the "Losses Graph" and/or "Weights" tab.
  • Want to play a bit of "what if" with your own, or someone else's stats? Go ahead and type in your own values. It won't hurt a thing as you won't be able to save the document.

I've automated as much as I can on the sheet to make it easy for me to track, and I've tried to spice it up just a bit to make it fun for, and useful to, the group as a whole. It's pretty basic stuff, but I really do enjoy watching other individuals, and the team, progress each week; it drives me to keep working hard and gives me confidence when I'm struggling. Seeing others struggle, and ultimately win, are some of the best confidence boosting actions in my week...and I, for one, love it!

Happy losing!!!
