    @MrsR13, so true, we could be weight loss accountability twins lol
    @lycheenmango - Thanks, is it ok I tweaked the spreadsheet a bit so we can easily calculate the Total loss ? (don't wanna say gain, hope nobody will ;) ) .
    To calculate that, everyone just needs to update two columns, the marching week weigh in column and then same figure on current weight column .
    Thanks again for setting this up. good luck to us all

    ha, well I'm not off to a good start- 159.6 which is up about half a lb. But I've been good this week so I'm pretty sure I've just got some water weight hanging on from high sodium corn beef and cabbage I had a few times this week.

    I need to get back into the habit of working out every morning too. I've fallen off the wagon since daylight savings. For me to exercise I need to get up by 5:30 so I really need to stop hitting the snooze.

    166.2, down 0.6 lbs! I'm really excited about this because I was up about 2 lbs earlier in the week.

    I can't edit the spreadsheet either.

    up 2 from TOM bloat, not mad but still annoying to have that crampy grumpy feeling.

    I'm in! I'd really love to lean out a few pounds before I see my relatives again at a wedding this summer (I was my chubbiest ever last time I saw them) so I could use all the motivation I can get.

    Lost 0.4 pounds this week :) Glad that I lost something considering I didn't work out much because of the apartment move!

    For those who are unable to edit the spreadsheet, I would say just add your stats here on the forum for all to see. Basically include - Start weight, goal weight for Memorial Day, weight on each Friday, total lost since the day you started this challenge :)

    Spreadsheet or no spreadsheet, we all should be able to motivate each other to become a healthy and leaner self by summer.

    I keep reminding myself that I need to achieve my goals this summer, no more postponing. I just want to be leaner and healthier in a reasonable timeframe and get into maintenance mode.

    All my life I have just planned/worried/thought about losing weight, this year I want to start planning/thinking about just maintaining (once I have achieved my goal weight by summer) :)

    Also for everyone who did not lose as much or gained a little this week... DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! We have 9 more check-ins to go! So no relapsing into old habits!
