    Thanks for creating the spreadsheet, @jibeirish ! If nobody wants the neck measurement, would it be possible to use that column for a running total of lbs lost (or gained!) each week?

    @xosummerrainxo are you trying to edit from your phone? If so, it wont let you, you need to edit from a tablet or pc.

    If you install the Google sheets app you can edit from your phone. The first time I selected the spreadsheet link my phone prompted me to install the app, maybe yours will too @xosummerrainxo

    myfitnesspal starting weight: 161.8
    Challenge starting weight: 153.6
    Today's weigh in: 149.2
    Goal weight: 125.0

    4.4 lbs lost this week.
    12.6 lbs total loss

    What I'm doing:
    *Yoga every morning 20-30 minutes followed by 10-20 minute meditation (really helps keep you motivated. HIGHLY recommend)

    *At least 8-11 glasses of water every day. (One of the most common reasons for fatigue is dehydration!! If your pee is not clear, you need more water. I drink at least 4 water bottles instead of pouring out glasses of water.)

    *drink a bottle of water before I eat a meal

    *Eat fruits and veggies instead of junk for snacks

    *Trying not to eat many carbs (No bun on burgers, etc)

    *Switched to turkey/chicken instead of beef, pork, etc. (No I haven't completely cut it out. Just substitute most of the time)

    *Find something active to do every day. (Take kids to the park, go for a walk, etc.)

    Hello
    I am curious, what are you guys doing to lose weight? What's the action plan to complete the challenge besides diet?

    I am setting myself a goal... Everyone has something different that works for them.
    I am going to the gym 5 days a week. 30 minutes cardio followed by 30 minutes weight lifting 4 of those days, and 1 hour water aerobics on the 5th day.
    On top of that I have been counting calories.

    @alyssarhc delighted to see you! We weren't sure if you were coming back, theres 2 pages in the spreadsheet you can use the second one for challenges, I personally think if you set out a new one each week it will keep ppl motivated, im happy to help you out :)

    just one more thing to look at while losing weight is your BMI. this calculator uses age and sex as part of the calculation. http://www.smartbmicalculator.com
