Ill enter a column for measurements, shall I put in chest waist hips thighs & bicep?[/quote]

I think using the MFP measurements is best. I personally do arms thighs and belly too but don't want it to become too long so keeping it uniform to MFP may be best unless as a group there is a measurement people really want [/quote]

I do not see neck measurement as a common one for women and pretty useless. Hips, thighs, waist, upper arm would be so much better

Believe it or not I lost an inch around my neck the first two weeks. Not saying to add it in, it was probably water weight, but I was first surprised I gained around my neck as I was very petite before and now surprised how quickly it's coming off there. I only hope it continues as it makes me look like I have a double chin at times and makes my face look fatter

Thanks for adding me to the spreadsheet, jibeirish ✅

I'm definitely up for this....

Current weight - 220lbs
Goal weight - 180lbs

Going to be difficult as I have a weeks holiday in an all-inclusive coming up!!!

@xosummerrainxo @ouryve @ajf729 you have yet to enter your current weight

No I don't. I said it was a ridiculous idea, especially for anyone close to healthy BMI.

apologies i thought you were taking part

My birthday is the day after Christmas, so losing 40 lb by then would be phenomenal!

Good job jiberish for taking the initiative to create a spreadsheet and for being a leader!

Remind me when's the check in day now again?

My weigh in day is today.
What is the format that I need to post?
CW 140
Day Thursday
Or so we need to post ourselves on the spreadsheet?

@rhondariley1 did you weigh in kgs or lbs today?

I'm a week late to this challenge, but also want to lose 40 in 4 months!

Age: 52
Height: 5'5"
Starting Weight: 181
Challenge Weight: 141
Goal Weight: 138 (-43lbs)

I'm trying to follow a Mediterranean style diet. I can't do very low carb, but trying to eat healthier carbs, around 100g - 150g and aiming for 100g protein (I struggle with this at times)

I'm aiming for 14000 steps a day and some bodyweight/dumbbell workouts at home 3 times a week.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Is there an official start date/end date to this challenge? If it started on 24th August am I right in thinking the end of the challenge is Christmas Eve???!!!!!

Woohoo!

SW 8/15: 220

@rhondariley1 well done on the 2 pound loss
