    @cmhubbard92 I'm not sure what kind of error @RoseyandReady is getting but I cannot edit them either. I have the sheets app and when I click the link it asks me if I want to use the app to edit the spreadsheet. When I click yes I get a Web page not available error. It happens with at MFP spreadsheets, not just this one. I cannot edit them via my phone, only my desktop. Which is hugely inconvenient. 😕

    @DaffyGirl88 I have to highlight the full link, then my phone gives me the option to open in sheets. Below is what I mean by highlighting. You can highlight a different word in the post, then drag the little arrows to the beginning and end of the link.

    Once you do that, you can directly access the sheet from your sheets app.

    Edit: for some reason, Forums isn't set up well on mobile to allow you to open the sheets app when viewing a spreadsheet... kind of weird!

    @cmhubbard92 ... can you help with updating the spreadsheet? I keep getting an error msg. I downloaded the "sheets app"... just a little lost as I haven't entered info like this on MFP before.

    @RoseyandReady I'm not quite sure what you mean... are you able to physically open the spreadsheet in sheets, and just don't know how to enter things in?

    Or are you having trouble getting the spreadsheet to open in sheets?

    Try highlighting just the link below, it should give you the option to open in sheets, and then once it's there, you wouldn't need the link anymore. :)

    I am having the same problems and I am not allowed to open Google docs on my laptop (it is my work laptop). Maybe I will try my daughter's Chromebook later today and see if that will work.

    So I am not understanding the problem that some of you are having with the spreadsheet....

    I am on my laptop now, and was able to copy the link into an "incognito" window, where I am not signed in to my google account, and was able to edit the spreadsheet. I also double checked the permissions, and everyone that has the link has access to edit the spreadsheet.

    My only advice to access the spreadsheet is the following, as before:

    1. Copy this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L7ZCi0Jvp5HZKnuF9EKVBbFTqa7pF0gTbFv03FFPECs/edit?usp=sharing by highlighting, and attempt to open using the sheets app. The picture I showed previously will appear if you have the app installed on your phone.

    2. Try copying this link to your web browser on your phone/laptop. The link should be editable, as I see many "anonymous" edits from members that have been able to access the spreadsheet.

    If neither of these work for you, please post your steps/water here on this page. When I have the chance, I will input your stats into the spreadsheet. Please, make sure you post the correct date as well :)

    Only the captains can edit Weigh ins. The step and water challenge should be editable.

    @Krysless2 I the issue everyone is having is with the Step & Water challenge. If not opened a certain way, MFP will keep the sheets in the app, and you cannot edit. When you go to open in sheets, it gives them an error from the MFP app.

    Ok I read thru some of the questions and didn’t see anyone specifically ask if it was the water/step one or the Weigh in one. The weigh one is still always viewable at The Biggest Loser Challenge Home page https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/113559-the-biggest-loser-monthly-challenge
    Here you will scroll down a bit and click the hyperlinked “January”, it’ll look like this:

    For the water/step spreadsheet, it looks like people are adding in their Steps as we speak so it should work unless people’s personal/work permissions are denying them (that happened to me at my old job)

    If nobody can access the step/water sheet I can help @cmhubbard92 and @brandi_84 input the numbers
    You’ll use this format Daily:

    Hello new and returning teammates! I'm Destiny. I'm 33, a SAHM to 4 kids, living in West Texas. I've been part of the team for quite a while now. My sister does temp travel work and she just got a job an hour and half away for the next 13 weeks. I'm so excited to have her close by but I know she'll come over and want to have some drinks every weekend so that will be a challenge for me! :# Tomorrow I'm starting an 8 week program on Fitness Blender!

    Here's some of my goals for 2021
    *1500 calorie goal 6 days a week
    *1 "cheat" day a week but still log everything and aim for 2000 calories or less
    *Exercise 6x a week
    *64oz of water per day
    *Only eat between 10am and 8pm

    Non Fitness Goals for the year
    *Read 26 books (last year I read 22)
    *Potty train my 3 year old :D My older 3 are girls and I have no idea where to begin with a boy!

    @cmhubbard92 can I join the challenge but just for water and the MUAC?

    @thedestar Great goals!! You got this, no problem! :)

    @cmhubbard92 thanks so much, it never would've occurred to me to highlight the link rather than click on it. I should've asked you months ago! LOL

    @cmhubbard92 and @Krysless2 I can edit the spreadsheets (steps/water, GoT, Hogwarts, etc.) fine on a computer (home desktop or work laptop). It's when I try to use something like my phone or tablet that I run into problems. Like I said above, I was clicking on the link rather than highlighting it, which never would have occurred to me. I could view the spreadsheet that way but not add my information. You have successfully taught an old dog a new trick. B)

    @DaffyGirl88 awesome! I'm glad it is working for you now! :)

    What's your step goal? I will add you to the sheet! :)

    @cmhubbard92 That's a great question... My steps have fallen considerably with the onset of cold weather so I wasn't even going to do the challenge. In previous years the cold wasn't an issue as I have a 5 story office building to roam around in. Not many steps to be had going from the bedroom to the kitchen, especially if you're trying to AVOID the kitchen. :D Put me down for 10,000/70,000 and it'll give me something to strive for. Thanks!

    It is very tempting to sit inside on this cloudy chilly day, but thanks to the challenge, and my 'A-student' brain wiring, I'm heading out to get in my steps! See you when I get back!

    @annabananamc great job getting out there to meet your goals yesterday! Also, great job with your MUAC!


    My Sunday weigh in for January 3rd is 166. I have been working so hard this week and went from not moving at all to making my workout a priority. I have been cutting my sugar down for the past week, I didn't go overboard at Christmas. Last week I weighed in for the first time in months at 168. I am still drinking water and about to go outside to get my steps in. 2021..health comes first!! I want to break into the 150s as my first goal. It's been years and so hard to get out of the 160s. Once there I will start incorporating weight training. I'm just not there yet. Getting my body back in motion is coming first. Sitting all day for my job has not been good for me and I vow to make a change. Back to work tomorrow and I'm going to walk around the office every hour to keep me moving. So excited to join some extra challenges....now time to go drink...water 😁

    @RoseyandReady great loss for your first week! That was an awesome effort, and we share a mutual goal of wanting to get into the 150s! I hope today proved to be a more active day for you! :) We are glad to have you back with us!

    @rawrxamberx somehow I had missed a few of the posts on this page, but I wanted to let you know that I've added you to the spreadsheet! Glad to have you back!
