Mid-Year Resolution Weight Loss Challenge (Sign up thread)

[DJnatalie]

I pulled my nose out of my book long enough to come say hey to everyone. I have this obsessive page turning thing going on right now.
to everyone - I am extremely ready/excited about all of us and this challenge. I know we'll all do really well.

[Wannaloseit]

Geez... I have yet another "problem".

Does anyone else here have an Mac & if so, can you access the spreadsheet?

I tried, I really tried. It appeared that I needed to download Foxfire, which I did... three times, thinking I must have done it wrong, and it still isn't working.

I have a gmail account too if that counts, but how would I access the spreadshee from there?

If no one can help then that's okay. I'll just try it again on Monday from my work PC. But if someone CAN help, that would be simply marvelous!!!

Walking away now, kicking a pebble down the road, thinking "Sure wish I could see that spreadsheet..."

[cleochatra]

Hi, wanna! If you can't see the spreadsheet, no problem. I'll try to figure out a way for you to see progress. Let me check google and see if there's something we're missing.

[AiricaMarie]

Have your done the spreadsheet yet? No worries if not, just wanna make sure I can see it!

[cleochatra]

I have the spreadsheet, but haven't added anyone yet. I usually wait until the last minute! People sometimes change their minds, goals, etc. I am lazy and like inputting everything once! LOL

Here is the spreadsheet!

Hi everyone! Cleochatra I decided to get more ambitious and change my goal if thats ok to:
40 to lose/0 lost/40 to go

That will put me at my ultimate goal even if it is pushing it a little.
A few ???? 's. Please forgive me if I missed the answers in previous posts. Anyone intersted in posting daily menu's to get new ideas and keep accountable? Is there a specific weigh in day?

AiricaMarie~ can I swipe your freaking proud member of the mid-year weight loss challenge? Pretty please!

[AiricaMarie]

Uh, totally! It's an honor to be swiped! As a matter of fact, now I will be mad if you dont!

[cleochatra]

Hi guys!

Normally, the new thread will go up sometime in the afternoon-to evening of Sundays.

This gives me time to make sure everything is good to go. There will be a new thread today! But don't wait for it to start making those changes and positive moves in your health and well-being!

I am working on it now. I'll link to the next week's thread with all information and we'll just keep on keeping on!

Welcome to new people joining! It is great to have you here!

[cleochatra]

I'm rereading this thread and you guys have me cracking up! I love the energy!

sally, I love your avi!!!

[Patlaf]

Hi Jamie,

Just looked at the spreadsheet (thanks for setting that up), and there is nothing written for the weight I hope to lose. I guess I wasn't very clear when I signed up and said I hoped to lose five pounds a month--or 30 pounds for my Happy New Years present to me.

Pat

[cleochatra]

Thank you, Pat! I appreciate you clarifying for me. I was going to contact you today. Sometimes if a number doesn;t seem clear enough I ask you to ensure your goal is your goal and not one I have artifically concocted on your behalf!

[Patlaf]

Diana how great to have you for company on this challenge. Lets lose five pounds a month and keep each other accountable. I am assuming that we weigh in tomorrow, but don't post our loss until Monday the 22nd.

Pat

[cleochatra]

Yes, you are correct!

You will weigh tomorrow and not worry about lossesd until the 22nd.

Granted, not everyone wishes to weigh weekly, and that is all right, too! Let me know how often you plan to weigh, and I will gladly accomodate your desires!

[leftout]

Jamie,
Do we input the new figure or do you handle that? I weighed today (15th), I take it that is my beginning weight for this challenge? When I weigh on the 22nd, how is that posted?

[6in2007]

I love how at the bottom of the spread sheet it shows 1,253 for the total we all need to lose together. I can't wait to see that number drop!

Hey Cleo,

I appreciate your offer but me thinks you'll have your hands full enough with all of us - we are bound to be a rowdy bunch, I can feel it already.

I'm sure I can access the spreadsheet from work so I'll be fine.

I would however, love to have the challenge link in my signature. I tried to cut & paste but wasn't successful. Do I need someone's permission to be able to do it?

I love our Apple 'puter, really I do, but having a PC at work & an Apple at home is like the time I was taking German & French classes at the same time. No, I wasn't real successful with that either

[heather2578]

Wannaloseit, maybe you didn't paste it into the right place. In the top blue bar all the way to the left click User Control Panel. Then the first thing in the left column will say edit signature. That's where you want to paste it.

[shrishyk]

i was trying to add the link to my signature too... but how do you change the "title" so it's not the "http"

Christy,

Here's what you do. Copy & paste the link so it's all ready. When you're in your edit signature mode, type whatever words you want to be listed instead of the link, for example:

Mid-Year Resolution Weight Loss Challenge

Then highlight those words and click the button above the typing box that looks like an earth with a chainlink by (insert link button).

A box will pop up and you will paste your link into that spot & click okay and it'll be all set like this:

Mid-Year Resolution Weight Loss Challenge

HTH

[shrishyk]

Yay! Thanks Heather!!
