@mo1905 it does run like an app but you'll need to change the security settings in your system prefs.
Happy to help if you want to do that.

I was thinking more of running it on phone. It's always with me and easier to update regularly.

Hi Andrew,
Just updated some of my data into the latest version of the file. I usually keep a log book next to bed write everything down every day and update the file every 2-3 days.
I am able to check BMI against my height. and also the % loss of BMI every time I loose weight. Excellent addition. I have already reduced 10% of my initial BMI which was just over 25. Now 23, to get it under 20 I need to loose another 8kg!!! Already my friends are commenting how thin I am and if that is healthy.
For weight measures month of March, the date come up with following date. i.e enter 9/3/14 it comes up with 10/3/14. I have updated my March data correctly and fine now. April is fine. Just in case a newby wants to use it. I started my weight loss regime in March and all my data on the file now. So happy to see all the statistics in file with graphs.Thank you.
I was wondering if could add another two columns:
-increase/decrease daily weight (+ or - for changes in kg or red/black)
-comments as I have been changing my diet few times if there are no changes to weight. Also going to party and having a big meal could be mentioned.
-and a graph for weight loss.
The file is great as it is. You asked if I want to comment on improving so here it is
Separate q.s, does non diabetics BS goes over 10 after one hour if they have a heavy carb meal. (may be I should google that)
Oh I have added rasberries and carrots sticks to my diet. I also heard butter made from organic grass fed cows got lot of arginine. (Dr.Berg-U tube)

Ok, +/- or increase or decrease. Say my weight was 59.1 kg yesterday and today is 59.6kg so the column next the weight will show -.3, if you have eaten out and your weight is 59.5 today, column will show +.4. If the reduction show in red/- you will be , if it is in black/+ you will be , this will show how you are controlling your diet too. There will be another column to show the reason any other comments. When I ate out my weight next day went up by a 1kg and I wrote the reason for that change. Once in a while I go through my log book to see my progress (future I will using your file) so I know blips and halts of the progress.
Sorry did not see the graph with percentages earlier, had a quick look need time to go through thoroughly.
Having a graph for weight with physical numbers would be great, against time please. May be I am obsessed with my weight. Went on ND on for 6 days and lost 1.3kg did not do much exercise as was stressed my tenant finding a mouse in the flat. Trying to seal the kitchen floor so not even a ant can come through. She is still :***:, and want to complain me to Health & Safety, I am thinking I did not invite mouse! It came from a little hole where the taps are and from the flat downstairs.

I have been thinking.....I am used to seeing my weight in kgs and in isolation, controlling diet according to that. Not used to checking my BMI and now BS. So rather than focusing on weight change in kgs i could look for BMI changes which is already in the file. As struggling to loose weight in short term I am so focus on any changes in kgs. Even when I reach maintenance stage I would like to know any increase in weight hence BMI increase perhaps in red, alert to do something about it.
Wondering if you could high light the ideal weight for particular height or high light healthy range for BMI on the graph as you have done for BS in light blue.
If you have time and fun doing it otherwise file is great as it is. Thank you.
.

Now, today, I am determined to get my data into this baby, once and for all. I've tinkered, as time has allowed, but have a bit of time today when I hope I can concentrate on it.

If I don't manage it, you may just be able to hear the tantrum from there.

Thanks Andrew. I'm rather hoping I'll manage it. I mean, how difficult can it be to get the file format right?




(OK. Don't answer that question.)

This looks awesome. I'm sorry I'm confused, but do I download it from the first page of this thread? I see you've made changes/fixes/updates so I wanted to d/l the latest version?

Thanks!
