Weigh ins - how often?

How often would everyone like to see weigh-ins for the challenge?
I weigh weekly, personally - so that's my preference, but in setting up the rest of the spreadsheet, I wanted to take in others opinions?

Yeah, I do every week as well.0

I prefer weekly weigh-ins as well. Thanks!0

yes, weekly0

Hi! I answererd this question but I can not see any record of it. Anyhow: once a week is fine. But it could be cool if the weigh-in is evry tenth day. This way we have ten weighings in a kind of countdown. 3... 2... 1... and we have achieved our gol!
Just a thought. A weekly wigh-in is fine0 -
I like ollerwe's idea of weigh ins every ten days! but once a week will work too. I'm good with either.0
-
Ok, so we have so far 7 or 10 days.. We have a few more days to decide - I will count up everyone's votes in about a week then set up the rest of the spreadsheet.0

I like the ten day idea!

I like the 10 day idea too!0
-
my vote is the10 day0
-
10 for me!0
-
10 sounds fine0
-
Once a week sounds good. Anymore time just puts me in the frame of mind to have cheat days. LOL

I like the countdown idea - and it would definitely work better with the 10 format. 0
-
I like the 10 days because I'd you see on the 7th day or your preferable weekly weigh in day that your off, you 3 extra days to make adjustments.0
-
Ok, I see where this is going. We have 9 votes for 10 day weigh in, vs 5 for weekly.. So I'll set up the spreadsheet for 10 day weigh-ins. I've also set up a few metrics off the right side (total weight loss to date and % of goal). If anyone would like to see any other metrics like this, let me know and I'll see what I can do. 0

Great! I will take a look! Thank you, bwmalone.0

We are 32 participants. Great!
bwmalone: May I make a suggestion? Just to make it more thrilling Could you make a total weight loss square? We lost alltogether a couple of pounds this time, counting ups and downs. We have a record to beat next time! Could it be something? 0 -
Thanks Bwmalone. It will take some adjustment for 10 days, but I can see it really makes sense as far as the time-frame for this challenge. I usually weigh-in on Mondays but I can adjust. I think the idea of a weight loss square is a good idea too.

Thanks, bwmalone! I like the 10 day frame work - will give us all a chance to see bigger weight loss numbers at each weigh in
I agree with ollerwe and mspmpayne - it would be cool to see our entire group's weight loss number in the matrix. We could lose over 200 pounds - thats like getting one big, hairy orangutan off our backs!0 -
Sure! I added the cumulative total at the top along with a title.
And - everyone's welcome to call me Brett0 -
Great! Thank you, Brett.
I guess wordofalice, Lumberjack and Bejba are using kilograms. We should convert those to pounds for the total.0 -
Late response, but 10 days works. Just put it on your calendar.0
-
Thank you ollerwe, I was wondering about that! Lol For the people used to weighing once a week, there's no reason not to continue doing so. Either weigh a second time that week or just choose to use the last weight you recorded, don't blow up the habits you've worked hard to get established.

Love this analogy!!

I will see what I can do about the kg - to - lb conversion.0
-
ok, I adjusted the total to account for those 3 weighing in KG - our total will be in LB, since that is what the majority of people are using.0

Thank you, Bert!0
