I had made myself an excel based tracker, loaded it in my treo.. here I
go...

Thing is, I need to have "happy stuff" to be motivated.. you know.. happy
colors, easy to use.. etc..

My tracker was a basic excel sheet, for the looks you can come again... and
the width of my columns wouldn't stay.. so I had to mess with it everyday to
set it all up... EVERY TIME... and I didn't use any functions, did all the
math myself. Finaly, each document had 7 sheets, called sheet 1 sheet 2
etc..

As you probably already figured, I'm not an excel pro... I used it a lot a
while ago and got pretty good, but haven't in months and don't remmeber
much..

BUT today I decided that I might use my tracker more steadily.. if it wasn't
such a pain to work with.. so I sat down.. and redid it. I'm not used to
work with excel a lot but am pretty good at computering (my father in law's
word here) so I sat down and looked up what I could do about it.

Now it's in pretty colors! Top in red, subtitles in orange and tracker in
yellow.. kinda flashy.. but that's how I like it!

The columns are set and NOT CHANGING !!!!!! they are set and aren't going
anywhere!

I had it to automatically substract from my target as I go.. so I enter the
food and it tells me how much I've got left. It also total the activity pts
so I don't have to recount 20 times a day. Finaly my sheets are names Day 1
Day 2 etc... not  big change.. but just better than sheet 1 etc. Also I
didn't want to put day of the week cause I change my first day from time to
time..

I'm all happy.. it's sooooooo cute..

I might not know a thing about excel, but I'll be darned if I don't make it
do what I want it to do!

I'm a freaking genius.. no doubt about it!

That's great Will, good luck with it now that it works the way you want it
to.
