I am attempting to use Excel to track my ongoing weight loss. I have an artificial heart valve and my cardiologist has advised me not to lose more than 1 pound a week lest I put strain on my valve.

In my spreadsheet:

Column A is dates. (I put the date I weigh myself here.)
Column B is my weight in pounds.

I would like to know my average weekly change in weight (in pounds).

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
