Spreadsheet on Google Docs is a pretty smart idea, no harder to enter them there than on here, and you do have an awful lot of other stuff to deal with.
Maybe post the link to Open Office software too, when you give us the Google Docs location, in case anyone doesn't already have Excel etc?0 -
On holiday, not sure about the scales I'm using, and I'm eating out a lot too so my weight's all over the place. Still below target weight though, and I'm sure a lot of the weight I've put on is due to sodium and swollen muscles - I'm doing a LOT of exercise here!

Nothing else. Restarting c25k today so I will actually have some exercise. Thinking of starting spike calorie-ing tomorrow, having read up on it, to see if I can kick myself out of this horrible plateau.0 -

Have a great week fellow Gryffs0 -
9 pounds in January, that's amazing!! Keep that up and you will easily make your February goal. Must be the quidditch training. I wish they had a quidditch league for old people, I would join right up.CW: 199lbs (no loss, but no gain!)

Have a great week!0 -
yea i can definitely say the weirdest experience of my working week was trying to build a prototype Quidditch goal post. I will need to post some pics when they are completed and in place.0

Happy Friday, Gryffindors!
I'm doing my best to have the spreadsheet set up sometime this morning. It would be awesome if you waited to post your stats (or at least look for the chart and post them again there) until the chart is ready!
Thanks so much guys.

Headmistress interruption:
IF YOU REPLY TO THIS THREAD, YOU'RE ACCEPTED!
Please read the rules (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/398364-inter-house-challenges-rules-info-s) before you ask questions! It's very likely they will be answered for you there. You're always welcome to ask more questions after!
Carry on...
Let's give this a try.
Here's the link to the spreadsheet. You should be able to access it AND edit it from this link, with or without actually having Excel on your actual computer. You should only be editing information for yourself ONLY. If you need help with doing that correctly, always feel free to ask.
To decode my system a little bit:
The dates are always the last day of that week to check in, so the Monday. So for last week, check in was between 2/3 and 2/6, so the spreadsheet date you should enter under is 2/6. It will read 6-Feb.
HP stands for House points, enter yours there. O&N&S is a lumped sum of all your OWLs, NEWTs and SPEWs. If you'd still like to comment on how you did on them separately, feel free to post it again in the Common Room! I love hearing how you're doing even if I don't have time to reply to you all individually.
The % Lost column should update itself when you enter your weights. PLEASE DO NOT MESS WITH THIS COLUMN! I will copy your numbers into my master spreadsheet every week to calculate the totals (so I can omit people who missed weigh ins, etc, and make it simpler for you guys).
You're free to scroll to the right and enter a goal weight for each month. For February, if you've already posted one, it's in the chart now.
The total House Points and % Lost should also update themselves. PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH THESE COLUMNS, EITHER! If there's a problem, let me know and I'll double check it. Easy peasy.
Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgqIcbJ240bVdFBBNFlUUjFPOUFmUjJRZ0R0RS04MEE
Go ahead and start entering your info starting in the 13-Feb column. Don't enter previous info at this point, I'm cutting it off so I can do the calculations.
Again, let me know if you have troubles or any questions!
I'm going to update the Gryffindor Blog later and repost that, too. Everything will be recorded so you can look back on it if you have questions.
Good luck to everyone finishing up this week! 0 -
WOOT fabulous - it works! :bigsmile:
For those not used to using spreadsheets, you first need to click on Feb 2012 at the bottom.0 -
By the way, my end of February goal is my target weight of 119lb, which is actually slightly higher than my current weight - this is because I'm spending most of February with my partner in Canada. We've just had Christmas #2, and we're eating out a lot. 0

Happy Monday, Gryffindors! Don't forget to use the spreadsheet link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc? key=0AgqIcbJ240bVdFBBNFlUUjFPOUFmUjJRZ0R0RS04MEE) and enter your numbers there!
Here's this week's challenges to remind you, too:

WEEK 3: (Starting after check-in between 2/10-2/13 and ending with check-in between 2/17-2/20)
OWL (exercise): Living Room Workout! http://fitbie.msn.com/fit-life/?videoId=61b382a7-4f0f-4f1b-9447-06da610a9a7c
I would set a goal of how many days you do the set of exercises or how many sets of the exercises you can do each day. Each day you reach your daily goal you earn 5 OWLs, you earn 3 OWLs for reaching half way to your goal, and 1 OWL for trying but not reaching half way.
NEWT (food): Plan meals ahead of time! Either the night before, first thing in the morning, or several days ahead of time, log all of your food for the day beforehand. Make any necessary adjustments before you close your diary for the day. 5 NEWTs for every day you have food logged ahead of time. 35 NEWTs possible for the week.
SPEW: Earn 1 point every time you post something encouraging or motivating or how your day is going in the Common Room (ANYTHING BUT A CHECK-IN POST COUNTS TOWARD YOUR SPEWs). Up to 5 points possible per day, 35 points possible for the week.
***Remember to double check the dates for this challenge! Don't start early and lessen your progress for the current week!

I'm down quite a bit this week, but I suspect it's a good deal of water weight from eating badly the last few weeks. Still, it's a start!
Don't forget, I'd still love to hear about your week if you'd like to share. Keep SPEWing!
