HHMMM Jolly you could try a "short sale" selling the house for a loss and having the lender agree to a lower payoff amount (based on the value of the property) It would just hurt your husband and your brother in laws credit score.. but if you have had good timely payments.. you could probably qualify for a new mtg on your credit score value for a new house... Just thinking.. But I am sure that your realtor probably went over that scenerio with you all..

I think that someone has to change the spreadsheet... I hope that Amandie is reading,.., she is a wiz at that. I don't know excel sideways either LOL but you actually have to input the nos in the end columns to get the percentage to change Either way A LOSS and WOOHOO for you! getting closer to twoderland I would say! uh HUH!!!

Yeah unfortunately with the whole short sale scenario, we'll live here another decade if we have to before my husband would knowingly taint his good credit score. I guess that's fair.

Thank you! I hope it lasts, but we'll see in another week Good luck to you! I am happy I am creeping back to 2derville, I went off track for a good month or two.

Jolly, I think Amandie changes the spreadsheet after we all put our weights in on the 10th. I'm not positive, but that's what happened last week! You are doing great!

Wannaskipandlaugh is correct- I have to manually update it. In the yellow column, you will/should see a formula of =SUM({}-{}). So, For Jolly being #12 on the list, her formula in the yellow column should read as =SUM({B12}-{C12}), the B being the SW and C reflects WK 1 WI. So for WK 2 WI, you'd change the C12 to D12 to reflect WK 2's WI. Does that make sense? Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining things!

My apologies on lacking on updating the yellow columns regularly. I was frustrated a bit because some people keep messing with the last 3 columns (orange, yellow, red) and that meant I had to continually fix whatever they changed as well as update their current progress. For my sanity, please do not adjust the columns (especially yellow!) unless you know how.

Way to go on the losses, everyone!!! If you're stalled or have gained, don't worry! Just get back on track and keep doing what you're doing- IT WILL COME OFF!!!

PS- Jolly- thank you sooooo much for starting this challenge!!!!!!

I had such a better week for me even with TOM here so I am hoping for a good WI!!!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Updated my cw for this week. Down to 243.4 which is not too bad, just wanted to be lower this week. But that's okay because next week I will get lower!

[JollyGreenSteen19]

Lower and lower every week

Thanks amandie!!!!!!!! I had no idea how it works but thanks for having it all together I took a peak at the code and am vaguely remembering doing that stuff in high school, haha.

Ok. I just went and checked the spreadsheet. I think my goal weight might be unrealistic. Am I really just 25 pounds away from 264? I mean I know that is still big but I have never been that small!

[JustB1027]

Jolly what a great loss!!!

[JollyGreenSteen19]

JustB- I think your goal weight is great!! You can DO IT!!! And it'll be amazing after that because every week you can say I've never been this small or that you can't remember the last time you weighed that!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, it was one of those things were I lost a big gain... I need to get back down to 317 asap so I can start making progress again.

Jolly: adding exercise is hard but worth the pay off. Start with some strength training too. Start out small 20 minute walk then add 5 minutes daily. Try strenghth training 3 days a week. If your watching tv at night do side to side steps while watching. Also constant housecleaning goodexercise.
I am going to hopefully see a loss this week. 600 of my 1100 over calories was booze related from the party yesterday. Ugh.

[NorthernChick13]

@#%^$#&#%&# More than 3 weeks now between 168.9 and 171.0. I am getting pretty frustrated.

[wannaskipandlaugh]

Northern... I feel your pain... I have been around 260 for 19 days too... what is it with the 6's?????? ARGH... I wanna be a "Door(s)" Break thru to the other side... OH YEAH!

[JustB1027]

Down 3 pounds this week! Not sure how it happened but I am not complaining that is for sure!!!

Thanks for the empathy! Seriously...these 60's! It must be due to the munchies everyone ate in the 1960's. The calories are still lingering!!!

Hopefully we'll be bustin' down that door in no time!!

Did very well this week. I continued my daily exercise streak and did a long walk in the rain.

I was fiercely protective of my eating plan. I went out with friends four times (social week), which centered around food/alcohol each time. I stuck to plan every time I went out.

But on Friday, I went on a binge after dinner. I broke all of my rules, but was back on plan for the rest of the weekend. That's excellent progress for me, as I used to binge several times a week.

Down 3 pounds. Very pleased.

This week will be tougher as I'm going on a business trip. But I'll log into 3FC and keep my eye on the prize.
