Would it be helpful to have a non-weight loss oriented spread sheet for those of us less focused on weight and more focused on a different goal?

I'm about reducing BF%, but I could easily plug in "starting BF%" and measure progress along the way as percentage points instead of pounds. Similar if you were trying to increase your bench over time. Starting X, Week 1 = X+1, etc.

mile time, lifting max, body fat %, any goal really

Don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but I color coded the cells that people should type in to prevent confusion - I saw some people had been hard coding cells that were actually formulas. I also froze above row 6.

Impressive htx. Care to share your formula for such success?

I've been running for about a year now, 4-5 days a week, running the Houston Marathon next Sunday.

Started to see the most drastic change around May, wife and I started the 21 day fix. She did the workout videos, I still stuck with running. If you haven't heard of the 21 day fix, the diet is essentially calorie counting and clean eating, a less strict version of the whole 30. You are given colored Tupperware containers that correspond to food categories (yellow is carbs, red protein, green vegetables, purple fruit, etc.) and based on your weight you can eat x number of each color a day. And everything you eat is fresh, no processed foods and no sugars, brown rice or quinoa instead of rice and mashed potatoes, corn or whole wheat tortillas instead of flour, etc.

It pretty much amounted to a lifestyle change for us. We haven't been on the diet since May, but we've been on basically a maintenance stage.

Hardest part is all the damn dishes you get dirty when you're cooking everything from scratch.....

Good jobI Clean eating is essential. We no longer open a can unless it's for broths, tomatoes, maybe some beans (rinsed) to be added to something, etc.....

I try to cook from scratch every evening and make enough for dinner the next evening. Much easier now since we are empty nesters.

Keep up the good work everyone.

I love this board.

By the way...

The following posters need to update their goal weights:

I Ramp Ag
Big Puma (fatty)
Hoss
Odin
agbonfire99
GasAg90
ajn142
Bender
Goose
Buck Compton
HumbleAg
shifty

Y'all are artificially inflating the goal number by probably a ton.

I also added an alternate sheet for non weight loss/gain goals.

I need to figure out how to properly allot my time between being healthy and going to law school. I've gained 40 pounds since I started.

Focus on your sleep. That was my biggest problem.

Oh, and the booze. Way to much booze.

I'm lucky that I can eat the same meal over and over again. I do this recipe in my crockpot and it's lunch for the week. http://www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-3-bean-turkey-chili-3125-pts/ (I know I know beans don't belong in chili).

Then I do a lot of omelettes for supper. Cheap, fast, and easy to clean.

One of my healthy eating secrets is venison. I grind my venison 100% lean and then eat a crap ton of chili, tacos, etc.

You can make a very nutrient dense essentially carb-free chili. Tacos wrapped in romaine leaves, etc.

Venison is a low carb eater's best friend. Plus the omega3/6 ratios aren't all out of whack.

Just updated mine. Didn't really have a set number in mind, but 225 would make me damned happy so I went with that.

Also, is it going to screw things up if I only update once a month? I prefer to do it that way so the loss seems bigger.

Update it whenever you want. The sheet is progged to pull the minimum weight, whether that's this week or in ten weeks. It will autoupdate when there is something to update.
hell, I'm thinking I'll add my half-week weight loss now just so we don't have a goose-egg on the scoreboard.

If you do that your tux will be 'loose.'



Ba-dum-tish.

I didn't gain weight in law school. I was too poor to afford food and booze, so I just drank.

I spent SCADS of hours in the library on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. I NEVER saw the library or any other place that didn't serve booze with the possible side of loose wimmenz on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

Pretty much the same. Also made sure to hit every school sponsored event off campus because they paid for our booze. Semi badge of honor in that we were the last class they paid for alcohol for. Apparently we caused too many problems.

Thx for the whiny a$$ sheet. Seems legit so far.

AC - how do you already have a weight for next week?
