We must be twin's! I think it important to keep a Joural of your food intake calorie's and calories burned.

I look at the scale at that will determine, what I' have to do for the day.

I also use excel although I am less likely to enter the data, I find the fun part is building the spreadsheets and learning new functionality. I am not well versed in using complicated array formulas but I do a pretty good job on pivot tables and love to play with things like Lookups and using graphing.

I think I need to go to the Dawg school of array formulas but ultimatley no matter how complicated the array it doesn't seem to make me lose weight any faster

I actually thought about doing that very thing :) the problem is that everyone will want something a bit different.

I am sure we could make one that could do just about everything we'd ever need. Might get a bit big though!

Well, I would like to track my stats but since I work for the government, you know, I'm probably too lazy to do any work on my own!:confused: haha Can you tell me if there is a website that has a free download format for one of these sheets or did everyone do their own? I really like Excel format. Thanks for your help!:clap2:

I did my own. Cause I'm a geekette :confused:

I'd be happy to post mine, but my I'm rolling up my rows rather than creating new sheets every week/month, so unless I spend some time cleaning that up, you'd have to know how to do that :cake:

Hm. Maybe that's a good Sunday project :cake:

In the spirit of giving I've produced a simplified version of my tracker.

It has various sheets providing a weigh history, a food journal and vital stastics.

The vital's can calculate your BMI and give you a percentage body fat calculation. The female calculation may be a teeny bit inaccurate because women tend to be more complicated than men when it comes to percentage body fat. I did check it though and it seems to be correct :confused:

It was created in Excel 2002 (Office XP) but might work in Excel 2000.

It may warn you about macros - it does have three but they are purely navigation macros. You can leave the macros off if ya want - the buttons won't work if you do though.

Think thats it. Feel free to take it and make it more complicated if ya want.

I did slap copyright on it - so if you take it and make a million - I want some.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
