    I hope I didn’t mess up the spreadsheet. I peaked at the chat as soon as I got up but I missed two weights. I noticed we were both editing at the same time so I didn’t update any further.

    I saw that - and I hope we got it all right. Please give it a once-over and let me know if there are any missed. Thanks!

    We (Shape Shifters) have run out of space for step challenge participants. Is it possible to get another row or two added? Thank you :smiley:

    I would swear the first three columns used to be frozen so the person's name followed as you scroll to the right. But March does not. I can't figure out how to do it, maybe I don't have permission. Is there a reason? for this change?

    I noticed that when I did the tallies, and have no idea why it happened! I'll fix it.

    @jugar Please remove LynnieBinny76/SS from the challenge. She is having serious family issues and needs to leave. I'll keep in touch and see when she's ready to return. Thanks!

    We do it once every couple of months. Don’t get much participation but the few that do it seem to enjoy it.

    I use a site. I fill in the squares and it makes the card. I got suggestions for squares from the team. The site is buzzbingo.com. There are all kinds of pre-made cards or you can make your own.

    I've been making my own in Excel for a long time...it's coming up with the ideas for the squares that's hard, but yours this week was very imaginative and different. You're fortunate to have such a creative team!! I might do a BINGO in the group challenge this week...you've inspired me...and it would be an easy challenge, since I'm on vacation this week and have some stuff planned.

    I'll check out buzzbingo.com though...thanks for the site!

    I missed entering slimmersixties weight last week so please remove the NWI. I am not sure what is happening to bluetail6. She did weigh in but has been dropped. The bottom of the weights has a weight in an odd column and it is her weight on Friday. Not sure if I messed up and put it in the wrong place. Sorry for the error. Thanks.

    I'm not sure what happened with bluetail, but everything looks just fine to me. I do not think she was ever dropped - I see no edit history for that, and no odd column. So all is well! A poltergeist, no doubt.

    Maybe another one of the app view issues I sometimes have.

    Hi @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott (and anyone else who has members in the UK!) -

    A new member to your team (mrsjenniea) signed up with her weight in stone, and also an incorrect conversion to pounds. This is just a great reminder for all of us to use a formula when entering members' weights from another system.

    For stone to pounds: each stone is 14 pounds, and then they also put the remaining pounds under 14 afterwards. So "X stone Y" would be entered in the spreadsheet as =X*14+Y

    For kg to pounds: X*2.205

    If you have any questions about this let them fly!

    Please change 888angie888 to a late weigh in for last week.

    Please move slimmersixties to maintenance. Her range is 182 - 188.

    Lastly, jaysfan82 has stepped up to be a motivator.

    Thank you.
