    just be careful that you're not deleting people who've recently started, as they will also show up as having not posted for a few weeks.
    I need to ask you,
    what about members who logged in their nicknames and starting weight and since then we haven't seen them again.
    I' m thinking that after 3 weeks of not logging we should delete them, so the spreadsheet won't be "too slow" sometimes.

    This is the reason I wanted to ask the new-comers to add the weeks they lost with their weight as they logged in from week number 1 and maintained their weight.
    By not doing that some formulas may not work properly.

    Sorry all, I have not been checking in here but have been placing my weight on the spreadsheet. Started at 175 and am currently 173. Actually looking forward to weigh in on Monday b/c I have worked very hard this week. Hoping to drop 2 pounds but will be happy with 1. Hope everyone else is enjoying success.

    I haven't been checking in either. I have pulled a muscle in my back, and my Dr. gave me a list of Do's and Don't. After several days of laying in the bed, and getting stiff, I am getting up, and getting moving. The Dr did raise my thyroid medicine from 50 to 100mg. I will let you all know how that works for me. I do feel a little bit more energy but I am only on day 2 so its kind of early to tell. Right now, I am concentrating on getting moving without re-injuring my back, and losing these three pounds I have gained. So, I am going to start walking.

    Best Wishes,
    Gina

    I have been posting on the spread sheet but not checking in here. Not too happy the way it's going for me. I'm trying to figure out what calories to eat. I did a Scobby calculation but not sure it works for people with hypothyroidism. I upped it the way eat more 2 weigh less suggested. I'll see how it goes. I'm going to give it a serious 2 weeks try and see how it goes. Anyone else on EM2WL? How is it working for you? Or not?

    Healthy eating and good exercising to everyone.

    I'm adding tomorrow morning my weight.

    I've weighed myself just before I have my period, and I had reached 165 pounds! 24 hours later I'm 161! Maybe untill tomorrow I'll be in logical numbers to log! hahahahahahahha

    Thank you! Onederland feels amazing. I haven't been under 200 since I started college! My levels have been steady and I have been getting B12 shots and using the B12 nasal spray (I don't absorb B12 normally) and trying to eat 1/2 a grapefruit (though they are EXPENSIVE) before breakfast and dinner. I have also been allowing myself to have chocolate and such daily, which is HUGE. I never feel the need to "break down" and eat a gallon of ice cream or an entire cake or something like I have in the past. And of course all of the awesome support from all of you!

    I deleted about 10 members that hadn't log any information the last 3 weeks. Also, some of them haven't log in MFP for a long time.
    I see that also that the members : jg2876, lacaro1, mindyhenry74, MrsAFR, princessbgirl, Shaina (slm0414) logged only week1 and then stopped. By the end of October they will be deleted too.
    Hope they don't be offended! It is just no purpose to keep them in the sheet if they don't log in.

    Also congrats to this week winner (as it seems until now): Mlanggin88:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Keep up the good work all of you!!!!

    WE can catch her!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Hi, I just saw this challenge this morning and jumped right in! I'm turning 50 on Christmas eve, so I've already been having the goal of giving myself a healthy BMI for my bday. Not sure if I can make that goal, which would be 16 more lbs. by then, but I'm still going for it! What better gift is there??? I'd rather be healthy weight even than get a brand new Jeep Wrangler (my other secret bday wish, lol)

    Nice to be on board with other thyroid peeps----I relate to the strugggles! We've just got to do a bit more problem solving, but we can do this!! Blessings, all!

    What a crappy week for me :( I cheated so hard on Saturday night that I'm 3-4 pounds up from yesterday morning's weigh-in.

    I don't know how I missed this thread... but is this seriously a "GOAL TO LOSE THIS MUCH WEIGHT BY THIS ARBITRARY DATE"... in a THYROID forum? Really?

    aww tokataro dont beat yourself up about it. youve been doing amazingly well and from the spreadsheet u have lost 10lbs this month.
    Most of that gain today is probably water weight.

    Im still on track for the goal even with 2 really slow weeks. So quite pleased.
    Goodluck everyone else for your weigh in today x

    (and to firstsip - whats wrong with having our own challenges in this forum for people who want the motivation but dont want to compete against people who dont have thyroid problems. its been great motivation for me and others too)

    I asked a question... who said it was wrong/right? You know what they say about assumptions ;)
