That is a good idea. But my skillset includes Google spreadsheet, and I have two tips for you both:
1. You can populate the cells initially with what is called the null value. That is an empty cell (as opposed to one containing a blank). You can test this out by deleting the zero in one of the cells. You'll see that doing so does not affect the summing across the cells. A null cell is treated as a zero for arithmetic summation. This way, you'd be able to distinguish between a cell with no value yet (the null value) and one whose value was set to zero.
2. Using conditional formatting, there's a way to automatically change the color of a cell based on its value. You could use conditional formatting to make cells with the null value a different color. So initially, all cells would be that color. But when a value is entered in each cell, its color would would change back to the default color. So, as days/weeks go by, it would be readily apparent which cells had no recorded value yet. I can walk you through this if you'd like.

@jessicakrall8 , do we have a new challenge for the week? Unfortunately, because of the crazy weather here in my corner of 3world, I just couldn't keep up with it so it got abandoned by the wayside.

And in other news, I was wondering if anyone else is using the Galaxy watch as well? I upgraded my phone this week and got a galaxy watch 5 as well. I am liking it so far. I just wanna know what others opinions of it are as well. It does sync with my phone and mfp through the Samsung health app.

You know - I was super frustrated with the fact for the last month my weight has stayed the same until I measured myself. My goal is to average 4lbs loss per month. Whilst I’ve not been super strict with my diet I have been regularly logging my food and exercising using my training plan. I land under my calorie goal most of the time.

In the last month, I’ve lost 3 inches from my waist, 3 inches from my hips, 1 inch from my bust and 1/2 inch from my thigh despite a plateau on the weight loss. In thinking about changes, my doc had to change up my asthma medication and the one I’m on now has the potential to cause weight gain - but breathing is important and the one I was on originally wasn’t working.

I’d like to do the group challenges, but I find the community rooms a little challenging to work with. I don’t login using a computer, but my iPhone.

My focus for August is to stick to my training plan and fuel appropriately which means meal planning. Likely steel cut oats for breakfast, Turkey sandwiches for lunch, and a varied veg forward dinner. Limit alcohol to two nights a week (wine night and craft beer club).
