haha thanx STACY - i tried to read back the other day and got lost! i'm planning on printing this and binding it once i reach my goal! can't wait! then i'll try and read through it and make sense of it haha!

so i'm starting the BLS challenge tomorrow like many of you---woohoo! so i'm not going to see today as a day and my new weigh in and start of week day is going to be friday rather than thursday (today).

i did the spreadsheet like margaret adviced on many occasions!!! lol! and it has really helped. i have 70 boxes across the week. if i match or exceed the goal i colour it green, if i do ok i colour it orange and if i don't reach it i colour it red!

anyway for week 1 i got:

50% green
20% orange
10% red
20% grey = didn't fill in for various reasons!

so all in all not a bad week but i can see clearly now the things i am falling back on (junk calories) which will be helped by the BLS challenge! also the things i'm good at (excercise and water). need to work harder on staying in the calorie range but i'm getting there.

THANX MARGARET- it is really helpful!

have a good day everyone!!

I am so excited that I found this site!

I know we will all reach our goals and we can do it together. I am going to go upstairs and take my measurements too. But I'm 5'8, SW 207, CW 201, GW 125.

I am so motivated!

Hey, by the way, what is the red and black team? What is the contest? Can I join?

Omega · January 3rd, 2008, 11:16 AM

Hi Angel

Sorry that I havent popped in for a couple of days - I've been rushed off my feet.

I am pleased that you are finding the spreadsheet idea useful. I swear that I would be lost without it. I keep backups in case of a computer problem.

It is like applying a scientific approach to the whole exercise of weight loss.

If you dont have the data - you can remember what happened for a couple of days. After that the past all becomes a total blur and you cannot remember what went right and what went wrong. The trick is to keep repeating the "what went right" bits over and over again.

I wanna be thin - the red and black teams are for the new biggest loser challenge. I am sorry but you will not be able to join in as the teams have been finalised. There are plenty of other challenges in the "challenges" section under "diet and motivation". There is a new year to valentines day challenge kicking off pretty much immediately that you would be able to join if you hurry. Also some January weight loss challenges.

Take care
Love
Margaret

hey thanx for popping in! its always good to hear from everyone!

i have to admit i love the spreadsheet. i can see exactly where i ma going wrong and more importantly right so i can change myself appropriately otherwise at this point i would have no idea what my next goal should be and what i should be hapy about.

have a good day
