The spreadsheet is locked. I can't get into it.

It doesn't seem to like to load on the first click. I just reloaded the page and it came up fine.

Just added myself and my goal, btw!

40# by Christmas, but I think I might already have some headway as I haven't weighed since being banded 2 weeks ago. :)

I'm definitely in. I can't see the spreadsheet at work because apparently my work blocks it, so I will add myself later.

I like longer challenges. I plan to lose 10 Lbs per month until I reach my goal. So by Christmas I should have lost 57 Lbs. I know I can do it, I lose really good when I put my heart and mind into it.

Good luck to all.

Sounds good to me! Also, I dont mean to pick but, how come it doesn't add, subtract and give us a total at the end? If I knew how I to fix it I would. :thumbup: Sorry. Don't mean to be a pain. I do appreciate you making the spreadsheet, lauragshsu :)

Hi Amy - I put formulas in the total lost column and current weight column so that it will add the the total weight lost and calculate the current weight. You can copy those formulas for your row if you want. I just didn't want to assume everyone would want it.

I'm terrible w/ Excel... Would you be able to do it for me? :thumbup:

I'd really appreciate it! :)

EDIT: Nevermind! I figured it out! Thanks anyway! :car:

And again...one more "pick" hehe sorry! But...if the challenge started on July 1st (am I wrong about that?) how come the first box starts w/ July 1st. Shouldn't it start with the following week because we can't have a loss on the same day we started the challenge, know what I mean? Am I getting it wrong. Sorry to be such an annoyance. :drool:

if you started on July 1, you won't have a loss, but it won't hurt to have the same number recorded twice. (Some of us started a week ago.)

Let's give Laura a break. It's a personal challenge--so we can accept some responsibility for the mechanics for ourselves.

I believe most of us started last sunday or Monday. I weigh in every Friday, so I'm just using that as the weight I record.

Thank you! That's all I wanted to know.

Could you do this for me. Not sure how this is done, not too good with this stuff. I already entered for today.

Thanks Joyce

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
