November/December Weight Loss Thread?

[Aggie_Ama]

I am in!

Weight this AM: 150 (grrr found a couple pounds since 10/31)
Goal: 143

I am setting my loss goal lower for two months (7 lbs) even though I am actively following Weight Watchers and hope to see more. I love Christmas and baking so I know there may be some stumbles. Thanks for doing this ladies!

Starting weight: 204.5
Goal: 195

Martinkap,

I am a computer teacher so I am very computer savvy. But I am not a member of Google Docs and have never used that particular site before.

But like Possegal, I would be happy to learn it.

Too many cooks spoil the broth, so I will defer to Possegal to help you out.

But if she ends up not being able to do it, I will jump right in to help.

Great - I did not want to be discouraging. I just wanted to make sure that we will not have to spent more time on it than needed.

I have already created all the formulas and tested them. So, the 'lbs lost' is already computed by itself (it looks for the first unempty cell from the right and then computes the difference). This way the formula is able to track which one is the newest number regardless of what was submitted before and compute the difference without a human interaction (the formula took a moment to develop and type it up). Computing '% lost' was then easy.

So, the only work left is updating the left side of the table which I am so far managing. I have also added a line on the bottom of the table which indicates the last updated post. Thus we know from which post # the updates has not been made.

Having a gmail account is great anyway - so if you want to do it, let me know your email and I send you the rights.

The same, Possegal, let me know your gmail account name and I give you the rights.

Thank you so much for your help.

Yay I'm in!

11/7: 138.5
Goal: 134.0

(My Thanksgiving and Xmas holidays are in there, hence the non-aggressive goal. Shoot, I should be happy if the scale doesn't go *up*!)

-- gnat!

[jesvetmed]

Oh cool. Glad we're at it again.
I'm in.
Starting weight: 171.5 lb. Height: 5ft 7.5 in
Goal: 158 lb. AGAIN!
Thanks for doing this!

Shoot! I just now saw this--is it too late? The Century last month really threw me off my weight loss but now, it's started again, and I've lost 1 pound since Saturday!

Can I join in or is it too late?

If I can join:

Starting weight 11/12/2008: 207

Goal weight: 200

I'd really LOVE to be under 200 by the end of the year and lose the "athena" status

[Aggie_Ama]

I am glad to see we are setting realistic goals for the holiday season. I try to eat sensibly but I love Christmas mainly, nothing I like more than baking for days on end. So really how can I expect to lose loads? Plus I have a head cold right now and no working out at the moment so I am already off to a slow start.

3for3 I would through out most of it. I hate to waste but I have absolutely no willpower. I would devour it all and be miserable and guilty later.

I threw it all out! I kind of cringed but kind of felt empowered also.

Okay - first weigh in.

I was 141.6 just two days ago, but I am now 143.2. So my official weigh-in weight is 143.2

I'm hoping to post a lower number next week.

i'm at 159.1 today!!!! let's see if I can keep this up!

[solobiker]

I know I am a little late to join in but I would still like to post if that is all right. I recently started a new job at the end of August. It has kept me busy and stressed most of the time. It has also taken time away from my workouts. My weight is 151 with a goal of 145 by Christmas. Good luck to all of you.

[Grits]

I'm scared to weigh this week. Let's just say I've maintained.

[Lori81295]

145 .....whoop whoop.....any weight loss in December is great....no matter how small
