It is time for the first weighin. If the scale moves or not or even if it moves in the opposite direction, always believe in yourself. Because if you don't, no one else will. I am confident that you will keep challenging yourself beyond the first milestone (10% of Challenge time). ????
Now take that brave big step and log the weight in the spreadsheet. My moment of truth will be around 4:30 am.
After you add/update your info, the spreadsheet will calculate the 'weight loss since last weighin' and 'Short Term Goal Achieved todate'. If the 'Short Term Goal Achieved todate' column is at 10% then this means that you are on schedule to achieve your goal by the 100th day. If you are higher than 10% then you are ahead of schedule and need not be complacent. Below 10% means you are behind but don't panic, either adjust your strategy or adjust your Short Term Goal.
A summation will sum up all results and give the weight loss by all members. To see that exciting number I will request that all entries are updated by end of day on 10/02/14. So, please do your part.
Days 11 to 20 topics will be lead by lalepepper, the 2nd admin for the group.

My weigh in will be tomorrow morning, but I'm finding a great deal of accountability in writing down my goals the night before. I am still approx 700 steps from 10,000, and I am ok with not making it all the way as I got up this morning to do a workout video.
My goals for 10/2, besides the weigh in:
Run C25K week 5, run 2
Get 10,000 steps
Stay under my calories
Rock the Lean in 13 program0 -
I weighed in this morning and was down 2 pounds, however the formula columns don't seem to have updated.
Goals for today:
Green smoothie for brekkie to start with the nutrients
2 litres of water
Go for a run this afternoon
Feel positive about the loss so far0 -
Goals for today:
stay below calories
8x water
log everything
I updated my weight on the spreadsheet - I gained 0.2 lbs... (stupid tom...) Anyway, I will not let myself be demotivated!0 -
as of this morning i can only record 1 lb weight loss, but im sure i will have lost more, i suspect that my muscles are retaining water as my shoulders, ribs and thighs are still aching therefore repairing and i always weigh more when i ache.
goal for 10/100 not to eat any more biscuits there on the side and ive had 4 without thinking.so that loads of breakfast calories and not much sustenance.0 -
Day 10 and I'm feeling down
but I'm fighting.
I need to lose weight so I'll do all I can and sure I'll see some change soon!0 -
I updated the spreadsheet but no calculations were made. No biggie. Recorded a four pound loss which is fantastic! So I think I'm on schedule for two pounds a week. Don't think I have a problem with workouts. Just have to stay on the eating clean plan
T25 Ab Focus done this morning
4.52 miles yesterday with strength training of 16 rounds of 10 push-ups, jumping jacks, sit-ups, and air squats in 20 minutes to close out the day.
Have a great Thursday everyone!0 -
What happens with logging if you gain weight :-( (I got an injury)0

Hello,
Thanks for maintaining this spreadsheet. I tried to enter in my entry at the 10% mark but the spreadsheet wouldn't allow it. Could there be a problem when too many people access the file at the same time? I used the link to the spreadsheet found in the 'Beginnings' post. Also I noticed that only the first 100 rows of the spreadsheet loaded. Perhaps we need a note to ask that users close the file when they have finished accessing it, especially during 'log in' days?
Thanks again!
All best

[edit] I'm in now

Am very excited i lost weight at the first milestone, we had a 21st birthday and a 3rd birthday amongst our kids during this 10 day period and i expected (at best) to stay the same. Woohoo! Onwards and upwards i say. Well done to all those moving along towards their goals and a big shout out to those struggling, just participating is a step towards where you want to be :-) Happy goal chasing everyone :-)0

You reboot, reload and refocus. Plenty of time ahead.0 -
I updated the spreadsheet but no calculations were made.
For the time being I have hidden most calls in white color font and I manually change them to black. The reason I'd that if you have not entered your numbers the formula shows weirded results. May show all today.0 -

For team/group spirit I will suggest that you do weighin today. You can always weigh on Sunday as well.0 -
I weighed in this morning and was down 2 pounds, however the formula columns don't seem to have updated.
Great progress. The formula columns are hidden in white font and are protected at the moment. I will change the font to black later today. May open some for which weighin has been done manually.0 -
Progress has been surprisingly good over the 10 days, lost 4.2kgs or 9 - ish pounds. Partly I think from proceeding week with guests which was saltier and had alcohol even though I was always in a decent deficit on mfp that preceding week it may be stored some losses for this 10 day stretch. Overall mfp and UP24 combo working really well so far.0
-
I will be making the formula field to conditional formating sometime today. If your numbers do not show up then please don't get panicked, they are their just hidden at the moment, I am manually turning them to black font in the protected columns.0
-
The scale didn't produce like I would have liked after the first 10 days, but I am still plugging away.
Yesterday I did a 4 mile walk/run in the morning and another 4 mile walk after dinner. Not sure I can keep that up on a regular basis, but it did feel good.
Today I've already worked out with light weights and walked 1 mile on the treadmill. Meals are already planned out for the day and I hope to get a 3-4 mile walk in this evening.0 -
the first two columns do not update / do not calculate anything for me, could you have a look please? Thanks 0

Day 10 and I'm feeling down but I'm fighting.
I need to lose weight so I'll do all I can and sure I'll see some change soon!
Hang in there, change isn't easy, just focus on you 'Why' least that's what I do, for me it's all about getting healthy.0 -
Terrible weigh in this morning. I gained 0.2 lbs. But I lost inches last week (1 off my hips, 1 off my belly, 1 off my waist, so it was a big week). I'm expecting a whoosh soon. I was hoping it was going to be today, but as long as it shows up.
Goals for today:
1. stay within calorie goal (always)
2. Walk at work
3. start the october running challenge tonight (today is 2.5 miles for me)0 -
I GAINED from my initial weight. I know that I am staying on task so I'm not going to let this discourage me. I'm staying committed to a happier healthier me. I've done it before with much more to lose and I know I can do it again.
Goals for today:
1. 10K steps
2. Log everything I eat.
3. Drink more water.
4. No Sweets. Just for today!0 -
Down 2 lbs!
Today I need to kick up the exercise...so 10,000 steps plus a bike ride (pending weather) and stick to my calorie goal! Vacation is coming up soon and I'd like to be down 2 more lbs before I head off!
Hope everyone has a great day!!0 -

Oh I love #4 - I have never thought of doing that!! I'm with you today - no sweets...just for today 0 -
Goals for yesterday:
90 minutes activity: Fail 60 min Crisis in the office cut out zumba. Got done almost 10PM
H20: Fail Short a quart. Great start, faltered later in the day.
Me Time: Fail Collateral damage of work also
Logging: Success!!!!
Same goals for today except for activity. I know I won't have a chance to do more than 60 minutes.
On the UP side......................... kicked 2 lbs. to the curb:bigsmile:0 -
Ugh. This week has been brutal for me, scale-wise. Today's goals:
1. Gym on lunch
2. No coffee
3. 12 glasses of water before leaving work0 -
I generally don't weigh in until closer to when I break my fast in the afternoons, since I eat on a later schedule than many. My wake-up weight is usually heavier than my break-fast weight.
Today my goals include catching up on everyone's progress, having a productive day (only have a couple hours of work today and don't want to laze around), and avoiding grazing. I''d also like to make squash 'n mac (acorn squash w/whole grain pasta) for dinner, and go to the library. I may hit the gym for something low impact - yesterday was my first day back after being sick and I'm beat.0 -
The good news: I've weighed in and entered it on the spreadsheet! The not-so-great news is that I still weigh the same as my initial weigh-in! :ohwell: That's fine, I'll take it! I know I'm on the right track! Today's goal is to enjoy life! Outside to continue garden harvest and clean-up, then hit the pickleball court for a couple of hours tonight!
A big congratulations to all of those who logged a loss today! And a big hug to those who didn't! Make the adjustment and keep moving forward! :flowerforyou:0 -
the first two columns do not update / do not calculate anything for me, could you have a look please? Thanks
Done. Just at the moment I have to manually put them back. It was done to hide calculated results which will show way off numbers if the entries are not done. Will probably make all appear today. At the moment I request little patience. Thanks.0 -
Weigh in showed 4 pound loss! Now my goal for the next 10 days is to not gain it all back by being "proud" of the loss.
My goals for today are to drink my large water bottle twice (I don't remember the amount of ML the bottle has on it) and to eat more calories than I did yesterday (I didn't eat enough and don't want to make that a habit).0
