Boy's been with me for 3 days. Food and sun and hotwheels chaos. Fitbit declares that I've maintained a deficit. Not sure how. Walked a lot. Stills seems highly suspicious, but I'll go along with it or I'll be too depressed.

Just tried to sit and put together our table for last week - and just can't get it in - too much work these days. So, I'm going to step away from doing our table for awhile. If anyone else wants to step in and do that - please do!!!! But, I'm not sure it is necessary? Just coming in everyday and checking in does it for me to be honest. And maybe each of us can post our "weekend" numbers?4

Will have to think about it a bit and see what, if anything, can be thrown to the group for improvement. Not a spreadsheet maven. And also how it could be done without people having to give out private emails. But then it would be fully unrestricted for editing...
We want different goals and a percent achieved per week?
Do any of the challenge groups implement anything like this (to steal ideas)
Any thoughts welcome1 -

For me personally - I get much more out of the daily aspect of this. The weekly comparisons are not as meaningful, because I change things up regularly.
How does everyone else feel?2 -

Alternative version. Bit busier and less easy to input data than version 1, and depends on folks having the spreadsheeting skills to add rows if they increase their number of daily goals etc...but could possibly work.
Anyone have a better suggestion for how to account for changing daily goals?1
