    okay, I have set it so that you guys can edit this yourself, so you can do it if you want, but if you don't want to that is fine. I'll be updating it too for those of you who don't want to do it yourselves. :-)

    The link is still the same:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArKJ3eFANBc2dFA3Nm1xbWFWZlVtdW5fQnJta3k4SXc

    To do it yourself, just go find your name and find the right "week" to put it under (by date) and put your weight in there. You do not have to weigh in on a certain day. YOU choose when you weigh in as long as you weigh in weekly.

    Your personal goal - Walk 100 miles this month, 3,000 jumping jacks, and introduce pilates 3x/wk.
    How you are doing on your personal goal - I'm doing okay. I had to change my walking goals from minutes to miles, that way I can focus more on distance (3.3 miles + a day) and be able to decrease my time. I was bitten by my dog yesterday :brokenheart: so I have to make up for that fiasco. Funny thing is, today is his birthday....I refuse to celebrate lol.

    How you are doing on your personal goal - 165/1000

    Yesterday turned out to be a struggle with food choices, and I didn't make all of the best choices, however I did get up and exercise last night to burn off some of the choices I made. I guess I am okay with that.

    Your personal goal - to be under my calories at least 6 out of 7 days
    How you are doing on your personal goal - this past week was terrific; I was UNDER all week. the weight not budging is a mystery. Hopefully I have not hit my first plateau! I think that the extra workouts I did this week actually are to account for the scale not budging; it's happened in the past to me too.

    Starting weight for challenge - 200.6
    Today's Date - 11/5/11
    Today's weight - 202.3 (7.3 lb to go)
    Goal weight for challenge - 195.0
    Your personal goal - 700 minutes of exercise
    How you are doing on your personal goal - 148 minutes completed (21%)

    I knew last week's drastic loss was too good to be true :( It had to have been water weight.

    On the brighter side, it has been 4 weeks since I started and I have lost 4 lb since then, so I am progressing at my target rate of 1 lb/week. And I've come a long way on the treadmill since I started, so I should be be proud!

    @Mandi I will let you update my weight on the spread sheet, given this opportunity I'd probably cheat. I am off on the "weigh ins" so I will weigh in again on Tuesday so I can be on track with the group. Thank You!

    Several people have asked if there is a "simpler" way to keep track of this log.

    When you click on the message boards you have several options "Home, Recent Posts, My topics, Signature, and search"
    if you click on "My topics" it lists all the topics you have commented on and the ones you did the most appear at the top of the list.

    Or you could bookmark it and refresh it each day when you arrive.

    Hope this helps.

    Would you guys rather update the spreadsheet yourselves or do you prefer it this way, where I do it for you all? Totally up to you guys!

    I went ahead and updated my weight today when I went to look at the spreadsheet..... hope you don't mind! If you'd rather me not, let me know.
