Ok guys Spreadsheet is up

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsgpZlc1QKD1dGt0ME5VODNUaVZzODFONW1kZEhMX0E&hl=en

Just put in your goal Loss, your starting weight and then the amount you loose each week.

you just either go file, save and close or close the window.

totals down the bottom show the group effort.

Please do not over write any calculations, only edit the pink squares as I have done in the first line,

If we need more lines it easily done just PM me or if you know how to do it go ahead. =)

Any problems let me know

Best of luck to us all!

Bumping up the spreadsheet!

Burlington County--Cherry Hill area, near Philly. Again, very small world :-)!

Nice! I'm going to Marlton twice a week for the No Boundaries program at the Fleet Feet store. Are you a runner? I'm always looking for other runners/wls people!

Hey guys, I dont think I explained how to use the spread sheet properly, each week you need to enter in how much you have lost, not your weight. If you have lost 2 pounds then type in -2.

this should make the ending weight equal your current weight.

If, like me you have put on weight, you put it just as a positive. I.e i put on .52, therefore its a positive.

If your using Kilos and you need to quickly convert into pounds theres a little section up the top where you can put in how many Kilos you weight, and then translate it to pounds, or how many kilos you lost and it will calculate it into pounds.... NOTE this does not work for the reverse, so please dont put in how many pounds you weight and expect it to calculate the amount of kilos you weight.

Down the bottom its going to calculate how far away we all are from our goal as a group effort.

I will delete people at the end of the challenge who havent updated at all so we can get a good idea of how much we all pledged and how much we have actually lost.

As a group we are pledging to loose 271 pounds! Thats me! Come on people lets loose me!

Ive also put a nice little light blue square down the bottom that shows what percentage of our goal we have done. Seeing how its not even monday and only 2 people have weight in (one being a small gain, hopefully tomorrow the official weigh in day will present a loss) its only .4% but... monday it should increase with everyones brilliant losses!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
