    Ill enter a column for measurements, shall I put in chest waist hips thighs & bicep?[/quote]

    I think using the MFP measurements is best. I personally do arms thighs and belly too but don't want it to become too long so keeping it uniform to MFP may be best unless as a group there is a measurement people really want [/quote]

    I do not see neck measurement as a common one for women and pretty useless. Hips, thighs, waist, upper arm would be so much better

    Believe it or not I lost an inch around my neck the first two weeks. Not saying to add it in, it was probably water weight, but I was first surprised I gained around my neck as I was very petite before and now surprised how quickly it's coming off there. I only hope it continues as it makes me look like I have a double chin at times and makes my face look fatter

    No I don't. I said it was a ridiculous idea, especially for anyone close to healthy BMI.

    My birthday is the day after Christmas, so losing 40 lb by then would be phenomenal!

    Good job jiberish for taking the initiative to create a spreadsheet and for being a leader!

    I'm a week late to this challenge, but also want to lose 40 in 4 months!

    Age: 52
    Height: 5'5"
    Starting Weight: 181
    Challenge Weight: 141
    Goal Weight: 138 (-43lbs)

    I'm trying to follow a Mediterranean style diet. I can't do very low carb, but trying to eat healthier carbs, around 100g - 150g and aiming for 100g protein (I struggle with this at times)

    I'm aiming for 14000 steps a day and some bodyweight/dumbbell workouts at home 3 times a week.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all!

    Is there an official start date/end date to this challenge? If it started on 24th August am I right in thinking the end of the challenge is Christmas Eve???!!!!!
