Welcome to the April Fool Challenge. This is a sequel to the Christmas 2013 Challenge but all new-comers are welcome. A spreadsheet is available to set and track your goal and log your Monday morning weight each week. If you have questions just send me a message. Set your own weight loss goal, make it reasonable and challenging to get the most out of the group--we like a good horse race. :happy: You can access the Google drive to the spreadsheet file, enter your MFP userid, Starting Weight (SW), Goal Weight (GW) and then lose weight and enter your weekly weigh-in in the appropriate cell. I'll ensure the formulas are up to date and accurate. As you make progress you will get color codes on your percent loss to show your approach to the finish.

Weigh in January 1st for your SW. Monday weigh in's then commence on January 6. The winner is awarded a shower of praise and glory and biggest Fool status.

    Learning curve in progress.....the spreadsheet file on google drive is now shared and open. Sorry about that, go to the posted link and add your MFP userid to the list.

    I joined FitnessPal so long ago, I had forgotten I had. But, I'm back and at 60 my new motto is: "It's never too late." Looking forward to your challenge and accountability. I'm also looking for a email friend to encouraged and be encouraged by. Let me know if you're interested.

    Mule, think the spreadsheet needs its settings changing as I'm unable to add my name currently.

    Please add me! I'll come up with a 3 month goal over the next few days that is reasonable but also challenging. I'll also be doing measurements Jan 1 '14 for a better picture of where I'm losing my weight.

    Like I said, learning curve. Try accessing file again, I've changed the setting to allow public editing. I hope that was the issue and folks can now enter data on the spreadsheet. I'm such a fool!!
