I can VERY quickly put together a spreadsheet. For tracking I would need the person's board name, their start weight (on Oct 1st), end weight (on Oct 31st) and, (this part is very important), the desired maintenance weight (otherwise % lost wont work....) I can then paste progress reports here. If you are interested, let me know.
Edited to add:
My stats would look like this: remclave/267.8/???/150

This is an option.............you DO NOT have to give anyone your starting or ending weight you only have to PM me with the pounds lost on Oct 31. I was not aware this offer was being made, however if anyone wants to have their % then send Remclave NOT ME your info.
I am stressing DO NOT SEND IT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I won't. I apologize for the confusion. I thought when another poster said it would be a great idea that I was communicating with you.
I retract my offer. ); It was not my intent to cause distress.

I am just so excited to finally take some of the weight off. It would be nice to lose another 5 or more this month. I don't care if I never win the FQ's as long as I continue to lose.

Well, it's October 3rd and I just saw this thread. Even though I'm 3 days late starting, I'm going to do it anyway. Actually, I started walking yesterday (before I saw this thread), so maybe I'm only TWO days late. Anyway, ANY incentive is better than sitting on my butt in front of this computer every day!! LOL Excuse me while I go throw the cookies in the trash....

Have any of you noticed after you have lost weight over time and you hit that platue(sp?) that all of a sudden the waste line shrinks during that platue or is it just me? When I lost the first 20lbs. everything seemed to fit the same then when the weight loss stopped for a week or 2 and during that time is when things suddenly got bigger on me. Anybody else experience this?

I will not keep track of you loss you HAVE to do it yourself. If you would like to post your weight on the thread that is your choice, you do not have to tell anyone your weight. On Nov 1 I will announce the biggest loser. The people who didn't lose as much weight has to send the biggest loser a FQ. You will follow this thread for support, recipes and encouragement along with personal trials and tribulations. So exercise, eat healthy, lose weight and most of all have fun.
This months FQ theme...................... Oct is the month of Halloween, pumpkins, scarecrows and jack-o-lanterns. It is also the month that all the Christmas catalogs arrive in my mailbox. This month the winners prize will be CHRISTMAS FQ's. As always if you do not have Christmas fabric you can send what you have, I do not want anyone left out just because they don't have the themed FQ.
Let the fun begin :D :D :D :D
OOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPP almost forgot you can not win/ be the biggest loser 2 months in a row.

Hitting the gym tomorrow after work. I'm so excited that you guys have a post for this I think it's a really great idea not only does it motivate but we are all in the same boat and can get different ideas from one another. I joined TOPS back in May but until recently haven't really been trying. I got back on the wagon a couple weeks ago. Talked to my doctor about it and have joined the gym. I'll be following the Eat Clean Diet. Well good luck to all. Can't wait to find out who the Biggest Loser will be. :)
