RED TEAM IS RECRUITING! WEEK 6

Ok, I'll work on the giant list this evening, guys.

Jess and Laura and original people who have yet to read this: if you message me your starting weights or help me find the week 1 thread, that would be awesome.
ETA: Nevermind. Thanks, Jess!

Mel, here is the week 1 thread:

Wow good morning Red Team! We have some new members! Welcome!
Love the idea of a spreadsheet. I have not weighed in yet this morning but will shortly.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy day! :flowerforyou:

Hello Everyone!!
It is good to see some new faces in our group! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I just want to introduce myself. My name is Mackenzie, but my friends call me Mack. This team is great, you will not be dissapointed!

Well, I had a good weekend. I stayed within my calorie limits and I was finally able to start ChaLean Extreme on Saturday. Are any of the new people trying CX? It is a nice workout that really makes you feel the burn. Other than that I have been drinking my H20 and workingout daily. I have not kept up too well with my diary :blushing: but I will starting now.

Jess- Congrats on the weightloss, that is awesome! I cannot wait to see that ticker number get bigger and bigger!

Mel - Your awesome for offering to make up the excel sheet! :glasses:

Well, here is my weigh in for the week. Hope the scale treats everyone well today!!

Week 1 - 163
Week 2 - 162
Week 3 - 161
Week 4 - No Weigh-In
Week 5 - 158
Week 6 - 157

Ok, so the spreadsheet is coming along slowly but surely. Waiting on several original member's weights...

Darn. It's not working! I'm trying to post the list... as a spreadsheet... or a photo... but it's not workingggggggg. frustrating! :grumble:

Andrea, on the week 5... you mentioned you were at 253. Do you want me to use 253 as last week or 251... since you said you had no loss.


Here's what I have so far:
a) Let me know if there is an error in your row (I make plently of mistakes!)
b) all measurements in pounds unless otherwise noted
c) new members: unless you specified a different starting weight, your week 6 weight = your starting weight. ALL: if you want me to change your starting weight, just message me. For me, I used my actual starting weight (195) not my red team starting weight. Just let me know what you want, I can change it around.
d) X denotes not applicable (i.e., change for new members whose starting weight = week 6 & not a member of the group for week5)
e) Total percent loss is based on your STARTING weight; whereas weekly % lost is based on your PREVIOUS WEEK'S WEIGHT
f) if you want a different starting weight (e.g., mine's my actual starting -- not when I started the red team) just let me know and I'll adjust it



I will add the original red team members as they check in... So there's a couple empty spaces in the table for some of them... and then others who we haven't heard from in a while, I'm waiting for them to post before I put them in at all.

It's in excel, so editing is a piece of cake and it does the sums for me. I could even have it do the percentages for me... but I'm bored, so I'll do it in my head. :happy: So changing it is no problem. And adding/deleting people is not a problem either.

I'll be editing it again this evening... if need be.

My computer has crapped out on me. Lol, it should be fixed some time this week. So, I have to bike to the library and use theirs. I'm still here, just haven't been around to log. I do all my logging by hand for now and then update when I get on.

My weigh in!

Week 1: 273
Week 2: 268
Week 3: 263
Week 4: no weigh
Week 5: 256
Week 6: 254

My doctor told me to increase my calorie intake to 1500. So, I will be getting more nuritients from food, but my weight loss will slow down a bit. I'm not really bummed out, because the point to losing the weight is to be healthy and I have to be healthy doing it.

Hey! Nice to see you back. I'll stick you in my spreadsheet this evening.
Yeah my doctors don't want me to drop my intake less than 1400. Healthy it is!

I guess I did loose from week 5. You can leave it at 251 since that was my weight this morning. I weigh myself during the week to make sure I am on track...so I must have gotten a bit confused....sorry.

The spreadsheet is awesome!

If you could please change my starting weight to 309, my current weight is 294, thanks!
