The contest has gone nine weeks and I am in the lead. I look forward to winning the prize to offset some of my recent purchases of workout clothing. I’m going to finish the contest but I do not plan to do this again. I hope I don’t have to, but I am now convinced that just losing weight is not the goal, and can be dangerous if a lot of weight comes off in a short period of time.

Here is a spreadsheet I developed for biometrics tracking at work:

It will calculate your BMI and also provides an evaluation of compliance and financial benefit based on the requirements of my employer regarding company-provided insurance. Enter your height in inches, weight in pounds, sex and age, and optionally, waist measured at the belly button, and blood pressure. The rest of the fields will be calculated based on these numbers.
