Turnips are not watches

[eredien]

Today, I am doing things around the house so that I can do fun things and errands and brunch tomorrow w/a clear conscience.

I wish it weren't so hot.

I wish I wasn't having cramps.

I wish I could make the excel spreadsheets for the hackers' diet work.

I have a shiny new icon. Thanks, ninjahijinx! I will use it to talk about gardening and house things.

What sorts of problems are you having with the spreadsheets?

[eredien]

Let me take a look at them this evening and I will let you know.

So, I looked at the spreadsheets again.

The excel spreadsheets are here:

I think I figured out the problem but if I have a question I'll post back here again.

oh man do I wish it weren't so hot.

Also, the author of the Hacker's Diet wrote a web version of the spreadsheets. I've been using it.

I've actually got an online account there, but so far the only thing I've been able to access is the weight-chart graph (handy, but only half the picture). The main reason I signed up for the online account was for the graph plus spreadsheets, but maybe I'm too dull to find the button that lets me access them?

Would it be annoying to ask for a step-by-step?

The functionality of the weight-chart graph is all I actually need out of it. I thought that was all there was in the spreadsheets? I dunno, I've never touched a spreadsheet program in my life...

Ah. I was referring to these, so if you know you need to eat 1200 calories a day or whatever to lose weight, you can see how much you are actually eating, calorically, and track it:

Oho. Those, I haven't ever used; I just kinda adjust my intake downwards by the seat of my pants.

Ah! :)
