June 2013 Challenge (using Google Spreadsheet)

Is it too late to join for this month? I actually started my own workout journey on May 30th, and had already designated my weigh in days for Fridays.... so I'm kind of on track with you guys

It's never too late!!!

It's never too late!!!

Thanks! I just joined, and put my info in... I'm so excited that I found this group, I won't be doing this alone anymore

Checking in today. I had a lot of salty foods this week so my number is up. I know where it came from so I know it will go away too! This means next week I will have a good drop! (I hope )

I can't get in either.

Make sure to update your entry! Weigh-in was Friday but I know some of you couldn't weigh-in until today. So far we have 44% participation!! Let's get that number up!

Did you know that a high school kid from Texas just recently benched pressed 700lbs (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1580473-texas-football-player-lifting-700-pound-bench-press-is-pretty-much-amazing), which is coincidentally close to the amount of weight that we have lost collectively as a group in a little more than one week! 726 lbs. to be exact! Those are both staggering numbers! We should have more since a mere 48% of the 560 people that signed up on the spreadsheet have checked in! So if you know someone on the spreadsheet that hasn’t checked in, shoot them a message and encourage them to participate!

So let’s get to the stats, or what I would like to call, nerdy fun stuff :

Hi guys,

I joined this challenge but I'm afraid I've been inactive and it's too late to continue.

My story is here... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1017393-i-lost-my-baby

I hope you understand...

Of course! Thanks for letting us know and sorry for your loss. You and your family are definitely in my prayers.

That is awesome! Thanks for all the stats! You put quite a lot of effort into this. We appreciate it!

I started a 28 day squat challenge if anyone wants to join in.

I'm sure it'll turn around, ElisaGutierre. You've got this next week.

is there going to be a July Challenge, if so, I'd love to join.

***** HEY EVERYONE - IT'S TIME TO WEIGH IN *******


The Google Spreadsheet to weigh in:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asd852gweHhsdDRiWGNQeGhsQ3V1elVVT1dTbDNHZ1E#gid=0

Join the group if you already haven't:

We interview PotatoCar who is leading everyone in % weight lost:

So should I still record my weight today even if there was NO change? Not even 1 ounce lost last week. :grumble:

Definitely! Participation counts! Keep focused this weekend! One more weigh in left this month...

10 pounds in 30 days? That's more than 2 pounds per week. How is anyone on board with this? I like the idea of the spreadsheet group, but my monthly goal is 1 pound a week. If 2 then great.

That's why it's a Challenge!! Sounds like you secretly are on board with this

my monthly goal is 1 pound a week. If 2 then great.

What happens if you lose 2.5 lbs. a week???

My goal is to lose as much weight as I can in a healthy way! Join the group and spreadsheet, it's fun and motivating to see everyone losing weight each week and seeing what we can do collectively as a group!!

When will you be posting the spreadsheet for July? I feel like it's a bit late to start with June (and i need to buy a scale ).
