Challenges

As many of you will have seen, we launched a spreadsheet yesterday which allows you to enter your starting and target weight, and then your weights each fortnight as the challenge progresses. At the time of writing we have 58 people on the spreadsheet already, which is great to see.

As you should now know, the first challenge (starting on the 1st of September and finishing on the 7th) is to drink 8 glasses of water per day.

On the same Google Docs document as the weights spreadsheet (link below for those of you who have not yet seen it), there is a second sheet at the bottom called 'Challenges'. Clicking this brings up the form for you to fill in whether or not you have succeeded each day.

After inputting your name, there is a column for each day of the week. Put a 1 in the box if you succeed on that day, or put a 0 if you don't quite manage it. At the end of the week, the spreadsheet will calculate a score out of 10 for this week's challenge.

You will notice that there is a 'TEAM SCORE' box. In here will be the average score out of 10 achieved by everybody. This means that your success is not just for yourself, but also counts towards the score of the overall team. Let's try to get the team score as high as we can.

Any questions, just ask.

    Essence:

    Make sure you're copying and pasting this entire string:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ami3FDc4piJDdExZV2Fub21vRUMwU0pZalJHb0FnMkE#gid=0

    If you still can't get through, you may have some kind of firewall blocking your access.

    Great group. Looking forward to sticking with it.

    Where will the weekly challenges be issued? With so many members, the discussion board is going to be busy and I don't have time to dig and dig each week. Could we maybe add the description of the challenge in the spreadsheet in row 4 perhaps?

    Anyone with issues loading the spreadsheet can try this link (shorter URLs are easier to copy/paste)

    Excellent work on the spreadsheet. I am completely computer illiterate, and I was able to figure it out. I thank you for making it so easy to do.
