I think larn said her coach recommended eating 2 unrestricted and 1 restricted - isn't that what we are supposed to be doing anyway? I was strongly advised that not having 1 restricted per day can be harmful, to both our weight loss as well as our health.

The 1 restricted per day was the "tweak" the coach suggested. larn had been on 3 unrestricteds

Did you also want 2.6 for week 7?

Yes, ma'am; wish it was more but I'll take it! Thanks! I don't know why it won't let me edit myself. I see an icon at the top that looks like a lock and it is in the "locked" position if that makes a difference.

Weird.

Have you tried double-clicking the cell where you want to enter your weekly loss?

I see the little lock icon also - that's not an indication that you are locked out - I think it might be an indication that it is a private document shared only with those named by the owner (Lisa).

I double click the cell, and then the little cursor for text/data entry appears in the middle of the cell - then I type in the number for the week. Try it!

Thank you for the correction, ladies. Reading or comprehension failure today.

Hopefully putting a restricted in will fix the problem for Larn. :)

When it opens for me the entire page shows with everyone listed. I zoom to my name but when I double tap it just goes back to the full page. If I hold my finger on my name it highlights it but then a window opens that asks if I want to "select all, copy, find, share" etc; everything but edit. It's never done that before so I don't get what I'm doing wrong. :?:

Are you using a tablet or other mobile device? Access for me is best on my laptop.

You want to click the cell where you want to enter the current week loss or gain -- this week's weigh in belongs in Row 22, Column N for you. You don't need to zoom in.

Then double click that cell and see the little vertical line cursor show up in the middle... enter your numbers and hit Return key.

I use my phone. I'll see if I can't open it on my laptop. Never have used gmail on it; just on my phone (that's why I have to zoom). I'll let you know if I have any success!

Okay, I got it on my laptop and editted it but not sure if it submitted. (I also changed my goal weight.) Let me know, please.

Some people have to reload the page before they can see it.
Glad it worked!
You weren't the only one having issues so you've helped many (You should see my maibox)!

Yes I was so pissed last week after my gain, but you have to regroup and refind your commitment some times.....as Lisa says weight loss is not linear.....I had to keep reminding myself of that last week!

Hate other peeps had troubles, too, but glad to know it wasn't just me! I was feeling pretty technologically stymied! I'll do it from my laptop from now on just in case, though! I want you to know I appreciate all the work you put into this! Thanks!

OhZoe 02-19-2015 06:16 PM

I am having the same problem updating the spreadsheet, Frawniemae! I have always updated from my iPad and it is not letting me access the cell to enter the number. I will update from my laptop when I have a chance but it does seem like something has changed. I got thru this challenge and last challenge using my iPad. Oh well.

MizBeadz 02-19-2015 08:53 PM

Sorry, all. Was not able to post last week.....out of town at a professional conference. Good news ~ lost 2 pounds that week in spite of not being able to eat at home. Took a bit of work to keep OP, but I did it. Lost 2 pounds this week, too. Very pleased. Being measured next week. My clinic measures once a month.

I got a notification from Google that they changed something.
I've never had good luck from my iPad or iPhone. I always access thru the laptop.

mmjenny 02-20-2015 03:07 PM

I was gone this last week at a work training. I maintained. It was a real struggle to stay OP and I am pleased with maintaining. This week is going to be great.

Jemcl 02-21-2015 12:53 PM

Can't access the form as well. From either my lap top or iPad. I will try again if not, can I private msg you my results Lisa32989?

lisa32989 02-21-2015 01:11 PM

Everyone:
If you're having problems accessing, know that Google made some changes to their sheets. I'm researching to see if there are any settings I need to change (so far, no).
Make sure you delete cookies, empty cache, and reload browser.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to complete entries for everyone!

TeagsC 02-21-2015 07:14 PM

I just entered my weigh in for today and it worked great! I even made sure it saved.

Thanks, Lisa!

Not a problem I finally got it to work. I used another computer. :carrot:

I would like to joing the IP 25 by Spring 2015 Challenge
 
How do I do this? :dizzy:

canadjineh 02-22-2015 01:05 AM

Yes, Google sheets have changed - so the little note said when I went on to update. I also couldn't post, but copied another cell of mine and pasted with no problem, fwiw. Not great if you don't have the same number to enter though, lol.

My weight was showing up 7(!) lbs yesterday, but down again three today so I think my cold is throwing me for a loop. Carbs were a bit too high for my liking today, but took what I could get since we were doing traffic control for "Coldest Night of the Year" and were offered hot skinny cocoa from Starbucks, and wonderful home made GF potato & corn chowder at the Seniors' Centre after. The Chicken & Veg would have been a better choice but it had noodles :(.

Thanks Largo I went into work and used that computer and it worked.

Hiho, everyone! Keep on goin'! Give us some more NSV's or even weight loss victories (no matter how small).
:flow1::flow1::flow1:
Beautiful sunny day.... spring flowers cannot be far behind! When I went for a walk the other day all the spring birds returning were singing and squawking up a storm. They seemed to be congregated in one area of wild bushes and trees on the neglected corner of a neighbour's property. It sounded exactly like they were all yelling their lungs out trying to outdo each other. All kinds of birds, not just a flock of one or two kinds. I even took my phone out and did a 30 second video just to record their noise. DH couldn't believe the volume when I downloaded it to the computer. It's a wvm file so I don't know exactly how to share that with anyone here, but you would all be amazed. I laughed out loud after I finished taking the recording.

I so wanted to be part of this challenge but seems no use now as I don't have all the WI since Jan but I will join the next one :)

Lilaberry 03-02-2015 06:59 AM

I have had three weeks of no movement on the scale, but my definitely looser, so I must be losing inches. I do however really want to see movement on the scale. I plan to start posting my meals again, because maybe I have some hidden cheats that I am missing.

lisa32989 03-03-2015 04:12 PM

Three more WIs everyone!

I'll post the summer challenge soon. It'll be a 90-day challenge, ending on the first day of summer, June 21.
