Hello everyone! Our Challenge Begins Tomorrow!!!!! I am SO excited to see what these 90 days of healthy eating, regular workouts, and collaborating with Fitness Pals will result!!! :happy:
I know that we may be at different points in our workout. However, we can all start to motivate each other more each week for a 90-Day Challenge. I have created a spreadsheet for us to enter our starting weight and record our weight each week. It tracks total weight-loss and percent loss. Please enter your name and starting weight/inches in the spreadsheet. Remember to friend each other so we can post encouragements. Can't wait to see our success!
Weigh-ins: Mondays (Let's everyone post a start weight on Monday 1/6; this way we won't over do it on the weekends drinker ; If Mondays are hard for you, just weigh as close to Monday (i.e. Friday, Saturday, Sunday) as possible, and put your numbers in the spreadsheet.
Measurements: The measurement sheet is the second sheet; click on the word at the bottom of the page (if you are on a smart phone or tablet, the tab may be at the top). Let's add ALL of the inches together for the following parts, and enter every 4 weeks (start Monday with weight):
1. chest (right under breasts)
2. waist (at navel)
3. left arm
4. hips (widest part)
5. left thigh
Add all inches together and place in spreadsheet. Of course you can keep track of each separately in the App, for your own records.
I welcome everyone's input. Let us know here if you have any trouble accessing the spreadsheet or taking measurements. That way, anyone can jump in and help. Copy the url below, and paste in your address bar if you have not already done so.

Thank you from me as well Angela!
I discovered something about me today. I got on the scale and was disappointed with my weight. Mostly because I was heavier today than I was 2 days ago, due to having to eat out for work training for two days, and not having any control over my food choices. But, then I went to your spreadsheet and I saw that I'm still 1 pound under what I posted on the spreadsheet just last weekend.
How quickly I forget and I am often so hard on myself. It's motivating to have the weekly weigh-in spreadsheet. I'm grateful for that pound and if that's all I lose for the week, I am very OK with that.
Be well everyone!0 -
That's awesome Ronita, a pound in a week is great!!!! :drinker: :drinker: and who knows, it could be water retention from eating out.
Drink lots of water!! That happens to me a lot when I eat out, even if it is a "healthy" meal. They go overboard with the sodium. 0 -
Roni, that's awesome! I am happy to remind you of something you have reminded me of. You are a GREAT motivator and testimony as to how patience and steady, slow loss is best for us. You have come so far! I just read an article that explained how the best time to weigh is after two rest days, or definitely not after a weight training day. So, we know that it balances out, which brings me to why I will never rely totally on the scale.Thank you from me as well Angela!
