I'm the heaviest person here! What do I win? I had lost a bunch of weight early on and had plateaued for over a year. I recently had enough of lugging the weight around and signed up at sparks about a month ago and have logged every friggin thing I've put down my pork trap for the last month. The result is about 11 pounds over the last month. Still...long way to go before goal weight so I'm in. It'll be nice to do this with like minded friends. I haven't really connected with much of anybody at sparks. Different demographic. current weight 224 (as of 10/25) goal weight 185 Bugs does trend line statistics? That makes me swoon.

Trend weight is like a fancy average deal. I actually like to use for those who weigh daily. It is suppose to figure that your weight goes up and down day to day. My weight: 122 .5 pound loss. Glad we did this before the candy eating tonight...oh I am going to skip that.

154...man it got cold and I put on 3 lbs!

I don't care I just listen well... murphy said to report weight and so I did!

OK, I did not forget the stats, but it was a crazy weekend (halloween, amusement park, birthday party)...but I will try tonight to figure out if I can use spreadsheets.google.com or something. My diet plan is pretty simple...basically I try not to anything naughty until Saturday night. For about one hour on Saturday's I eat whatever and as much as I want. During the week if I want it, I make a mental note to eat it on Saturday. I like to log calories too and will just haven't started. I like to eat a lower calorie breakfast, the same thing for lunch all week, and a low fat meat and veggies for dinner. I usually eat fresh fruit as a snack in the afternoon, strawberries or I buy fresh pinneaple all cut-up. I put a photo of me on my profile from 3 years ago. This is the 116 pound version. I want her back.

I started the food journal today. This is one year ago at 163 lbs. That is the stretch goal. I would like 175 by 12/31 and 160 by April. I have planning going on for St. Louis again. I'll post weight update Friday.

Erika, You look great in that picture. (I bet you still do.) I'm pondering how to do the spreadsheet. I was looking at the trend weight in the David Hayes log. Should I make a worksheet for each person or add columns. I thought first I'd get the worksheet done, keep the spreadsheets online so everyone can easily edit it, and later add some sort of cool graph. I am a Java programmer, but think I can manage this Excel business, but will not buy my own server to host. What do you think would work best in the excel sheet? MTA, what online food journal do you guys use? I'm used fitday and dailyplate. I think I would like dailyplate better but I got comfortable with fitday.
