    Jenny it is a shame you don't burn calories righting the wrongs that have occurred through people faffing with the spreadsheet...everytime I log my burn there is an anonymous user also looking at the chart, wonder what that\s all about! Why would it interest someone who isn't taking part?

    I seem to have slipped down from the top third to 3rd from bottom! I don't mind, but it is a bit spooky all this unexplained movement....

    Good morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today, the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurances have been reported across the entire Tri-State area.

    we all show up as an anonymous user to someone else. it's nothing sinister.

    It looks like the spreadsheet is messed up again. :frown: There are a bunch of rows with blank names. Are you able to lock everything but weeks moving forward after a particular week has officially "closed"? I don't know much about Google Docs myself.

    Seriously someone deleted my name - I know that row 2 is mine because of my races ... so I just added myself again...

    Someone deleted my name, and all of my last week's data. I've just re-entered.

    I don't understand what's wrong with people!

    Locking cells is one feature that google docs does not have, and seriously NEEDS! I see that even I have been erased - eyeroll-
    I am still not well and the drugs make me sleepy. I'll see if I have any spreadsheet magic left in me later.

    Hi all; I need to remove myself from this challenge. I have injured myself and will not be able to workout much over the next 4 weeks.

    Hey, you take care. I'm sure your former progress will make you heal that much better. There'll always be another challenge on MFP--right now, yours is to get well.:flowerforyou:

    I refuse to remove myself... but not being able to do any exercises that involve standing kinda sucks. I am allowed to do my PT exercises (leg lifts and ab exercises) ... water aerobics and biking thats it...

    Next week I plan on trying my first spin class ...

    Hooray, I crossed the 10,000 calories mark! I never realized before this challenge how little changes add up. Before I joined this, i never really noticed how many calories I burned, except to get more calories to eat!! Now I realize that 2500 calories is doable in a week for me. I just need to walk my doggies the days I don't work out.:happy:

    As you all probably know, it takes 3500 calories burned to lose a pound!!!

    I do not usually ever look to see if my chart has been messed with but I know I have been moved to the bottom and then back up before! I enter my calories and then click on the total (which totals itself so I do not even have to enter any numbers). I thought things were going ok with the spreadsheet except for the line with the missing name on it!!

    Good job everybody, keeping burning those fat cells!!!

    I love logging in each day and seeing my total numbers. There have been days when I have worked out only to get my numbers up. Other than that I would have sat on the couch and did nothing. It was crazy that names were deleted and how things move. Open, annotate and then I write down my total and weekly total for personnal records. Thanks for such a great challenge. :-)

    I have had to deal with bronchitis the last week or so, and there was no way I could exercise! That, as well as the foot....well, it is time I bail out!

    Thanks for having me! It was def fun while it lasted.

    Hey guys, been having major family stuff going on over the last fortnight, and while I've been logging and doing what I can (mostly just walking, but better than nothing!) I haven't made it online to enter data. I've just put my numbers in, where relevant. Hope this is ok.

    Hey guys! Going by the numbers we are right on track to meet our goal and melt that marshmallow man! :happy:

    For those who want/need to leave, keep all of your numbers on the page - if you have not lost a life yet - then you can take 2 weeks to heal and try again. You don't have to come back but the option would still be there at that point. If you run out of lives your fight still counts so log what you can while it counts.

    On a similar note I have been out for awhile but I still want to see Mr.Stay Puft that perfectly brown crusty color a roasted marshmallow gets. So I'll be around.

    Damn, now I want a roasted marshmallow...
