Bea,

correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you started the spreadsheet with the date "April 28th", whereas it's the 21st. Seems we have 5 weeks of logging in after all!

Bea can I still get in on this my starting weight is 179 my goal by Memorial Day is 169

The 21st is just the starting weight. It isnt an active weigh in..its just the baseline for the challenge.

The active weigh ins begin on the 28th, which makes it the first weigh in.

The end of the challenge is the last day...most weigh ins dont typically count the first and last recorded numbers. Their used to measure the overall success of said challenge.

Looking...

Okay...while @@gomekast's explanation was right on the money on the first weigh-in information, EarthyGoalie is absolutely correct. I DID miss a week!

YIKES!

Corrections have now been made. But April 21 is definitely the baseline measure and when we weigh-in on the 28th next Monday, we'll have our Week 1 measures. Week 2 will be May 5, Week 3 will be May 12, Week 4 will be May 19, and we will end up on Week 5 measurements being entered on Memorial Day (observed), Monday May 26.

So sorry for the omission, confusion, etc. Some of you may want to adjust your goal weights based on this adjustment. Again, my apologies and THANKS for stepping in and helping me make the corrections!
