    O.K. here is the spreadsheet I came up with. If you are not doing the measurements, then I will just delete you from that section to make reading it easier. When you weigh in and do measurements, please let me know pounds/kilo and cm/inches. This way we can compare apples to apples so to speak.

    PLEASE let me know if this works!

    I have twin three year olds (boy/girl) and a five year old and I am from the north east part of Australia (tropical) in a tourist city called cairns.

    I am in my weight has been pretty much the same so I will use that it's 74.5 kg or 164 lbs as a general sometimes it's more sometimes less but it stays around there and that is what it was today.

    I can't be bothered taking measurements so weight will do for me. Looking forward to this month

    I will convert it for you but is it ok if I put in my update? It lets me see where I am compared to people using both. Actually thinking of putting the lbs in my signature so I can see.

    I also adore meeting new people I play a online video game on the nights where I veg out and have just made a friend from Greece (my first ever from there).

    Hey Jen,

    Here in Brazil we speak Portuguese, is kind of similar to Spanish, but I've never really learned Spanish, for me it is very hard, so English is my second language, I'm used to reading and listening, and I dont usually speak ou write much in English, so really thank you for the compliment! :)
    Here in Brazil we have a really great local cuisine, in each different reagion of the country there are different specialities. In my State (Bahia - google up some images, is quite pretty) we have a lot of African influences in the kitchen, a lot of fish and seafood. One of the most famous dish from Bahia is "moqueca", is a kind of seafood dish, it can be made with fish, shrimps, shellfish, etc (also google it up, if you like the looks of it I will send you my family recipie), but althought is delicious is very very caloric.
    In the south of Brazil there are a lot of barbecue, that is kind of diferent of the barbecue from the US...

    Ohhh, BTW, the spreadsheet works!! :)

    Hello,
    I am interested in joining this challenge.
    I am going to be out of town, away from a computer, all weekend so I will post my stats tomorrow. I will be in Powell River, BC, Scuba Diving all weekend. It is usually about a 500+ calorie loss per dive and we are doing 3-4 per day on Friday and Saturday then 2 on Sunday before heading home. I think this will be a good boost to start October. I am looking forward to this Challenge.

    I am 24 and will be turning 25 November 4th so it would be nice to have a bunch of weight loss before my birthday. I started out on MFP at 185lbs and am now 171lbs (as of last fridays weigh in) I will hopefully be in the 160's when I weigh myself tomorrow. I just got a new hair cut and coloured my hair to give me a boost for changing my lifestyle.

    I weighed today and have gone up by 0.2kg, so about half a pound. I had a busy weekend socially, and although I thought I'd tracked everything and ended up under for the week, I guess I didn't.

    I can't enter my weight into the sheet for some reason, but it's 89.8kg. I'll measure at some other stage.

    O.K. sorry in advance for this being too long... Wow, I go to work and the thread explodes! LOVE IT!!!

    Everyone is added. The page is set up where only I can add on it. Not sure why. So just on weigh day Friday message me your weight. We will only measure at the beginning and the end. To make life easier. We are now up to 36 of us! Woo Hoo! Very exciting!

    If you weigh in on different days of the week then friday, to make things simple, just send me that weight on friday. A week is a week any way you slice it, so I'm flexible.

    Iuangina, We do weekly weigh in's then a few weekly challenges. Nothing too hard. We all have lives and kids and such so I promise it will be easy. Just post on the thread how the challenges are going. If you don't do them, it's ok, just post it, and we can give you the push you need/want. :)

    tlwicklund, that is why I don't measure. I heard if you don't do it in the same spot it is useless. maybe someone else can help you???

    Chubz, really all you HAVE to do is weigh in. If you have access to internet, you can get the challenges, and maybe do some. Week 1 is "getting back to the basics" type of stuff.

    I am still working on the week 1 challenges. because some of you are going to be MIA, I will try to post them either tonight or tomorrow, so you can see what to do while you are gone. I hope I got to everyone!

    Jenn
