    Hey, how did you guys put that thing up after the "C" column so that you only scroll for everything that comes after? I'd really like to put that in the "Sunday WeighIns" So if someone could do that or tell me how to, that would be awesome.

    Done!

    Now, how to do it in the future...select the third column (or which ever one you want), go to the view menu, select freeze, select up to column. You get the idea if you want to change it to say freeze rows and columns. It's a great feature on most spreadsheets when you have lots of data :)

    Thank you for the help, @b3achy! And I will be updating my weight a little bit later today. As for things I've done this week: I've been exercising more than usual due to being in a 24-hour challenge (goal is to exercise for 24 hours in the month) and I've made sure to drink enough water (most days), keep my sodium generally low (except for a couple days a week, but usually the ones farthest from my weigh in day to avoid major water retention affecting the number on the scale) and eating healthily as often as possible. :-)

    How had everyone's first week been going? :smile:

    Not sure if we're supposed to post updates on this thread as well as spreadsheet, but that's what I'm doing for now.

    Hope everyone had a great week. I've been limited in activity due to some foot swelling/pain that they're trying to diagnose at the moment, but did well eating nutritiously.

    I didn't get to the gym as much as I would have liked for my strength training but I did get in just over 5 hours working out for the week. Had my first NSV this week, I bought an outfit for our upcoming cruise and had to go down a size on both the shorts and the top! For this week, I would like to get my gym visits up to 3-4 times instead of 2 like last week. We usually go for an hour to an hour and a half each time for strength training, we do cardio in our home gym. Also need to keep my sodium down, went over a few times this week which I usually try to avoid.

    On steroids for a rash. Was almost scared to weigh this morning but I can live with what I saw. Joined Weight Watchers through my work and my weigh in is Wednesday. The more accountability the better for me. Did not log my food over the last 3 days. Bad mistake! Back on track this morning.

    I lost 4.5 lbs but I think it should be 2. I started taking a medication for toenail fungus last Thursday and it is not playing well with my gut. Today it seems like my body is getting used to it (at least I hope so)

    So I am working with a Personal Trainer who strongly suggested I should be eating more calories than MFP suggests due to my activity level (I am a part-time group exercise instructor). Is anyone eating some of the calories 'earned' through exercise? If so, curious to know how it has impacted your scale results. Thanks!

    I wasn't eating back any exercise calories, but got so tired and hungry. Now I let myself eat more when I'm hungry and low on energy, and less on days I'm not. Has certainly slowed weight loss- but now able to do more, feel stronger, and better outlook on staying with this program.

    I just eat when I am hungry and until I am full. Majority of the time I don't eat back exercise calories. I don't usually eat what MFP says to in calories. Before anyone asks, I see a doctor weekly...he monitors me and says what I'm doing is perfectly fine, as long as I'm eating enough protein and healthy fats and I don't feel hungry to roll with it.

    Like today if I ate back my exercise calories I'd be eating over 2000, I highly doubt I could even eat that much.

    Posted to the spreadsheet for my weigh in today. Also posting here for measurements. I'm struggling with PMS bloat today, but happy to see movement in the right direction even if it was just a little bit. Most of the time I usually go in the opposite direction or see nothing. The C/W/H measurements improved, and also started moving in other measures (that I don't record here), so that is positive as well! Also got into a size smaller pants yesterday. Still a little tight, but a good sign.

    So, this week hasn't gone according to plan AT ALL... I'm probably going to be up a couple pounds on Sunday, but what really set me off track in the first place was the weigh-in last week. I did really well with my eating and exercise yet I actually GAINED .2 pounds, and even though I know weight fluctuates and it certainly wasn't fat that I gained- it's really tough seeing that when I've been working so hard. My MAIN goal is to stick to my plan and keep going- but I think weighing myself each week is going to drive me crazy and keep me from doing that. I really want to stay in this challenge, so I hope this won't be a deal-breaker. I'd still update about how and what I've been doing each week, though...Just not weighing in every week...maybe every 2-3 weeks or so? Please let me know if this is okay or not.

    Yay!! I'm actually back down where I was about 4 weeks ago! This has pretty much become my pattern: I lose for a while then bounce up a bit & start losing again. Frustrating but at least it's still trending down!! FYI - I'm sure you noticed I weigh on Fridays. Monday is just too hectic for me! Hope it's not a problem!

    Food for thought (that's punny)
    Eat until your not hungry, not until your full. It helps!!!!

    Thanks everybody for being so supportive! We all need somebody to lean on.
