where did the lab rat data go?

It's still down but here is a google cache of it from April 11, 2011:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:w6QjCo31vMMJ:www.epursimuove.com/ds/default.asp%3Fp%3D12%26sortBy%3DstartWeight%2520desc+http://www.epursimuove.com/ds/default.asp%3Fp%3D12%26sortBy%3DstartWeight%2520desc&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com

(I hope that works, if it doesn't, just take the link for the lab rat data page and google the whole address. It should return one result and then on the right hand side should say cached.

If that doesn't work then there is this internet archive copy from back in 2008:

http://web.archive.org/web/20081206142900/http://www.epursimuove.com/ds/default.asp?p=12&sortBy=startWeight+desc

For now I hope all of that helps. I copied and pasted it all and made a word document so that if it all does disappear eventually then I'll still have a copy.

Hi,

I've been using the Lab Rate spreadsheet to track my progress since my DS in October 2010.  I am SOOOOO BUMMED it is gone. 

From the beginning of my surgery I've been scared that I would just stop losing before reaching my goal.  I'm particularly sensitive to this because I'm a "do over".  The DS was my second weight loss surgery with the Band being my first.  Being able to access this data really helped encourage me because I could compare my results to others who were losing at similar rates.  Many of these folks went on to reach their goal weight, so it helped me believe I could do it, too.  

I really hope something can be done to retrieve the data.

FYI - I reviewed the link you provided above and my data isn't there. 

A big thank you to those who have offered to host this going forward.

If it can't be saved, someone could just make a google doc spreadsheet with the info and just grant DSers access to edit. It's better than nothing..

I've pulled Google cached copy of 30May2011 - months 1-12 and put it into an Excel spreadsheet.

However, it is not complete, and I know this for sure as my own information is not there.

I've PMd Tia to ask if the data can be given to another for hosting / posting .

I am impressed she's been doing this all this time w/o being praised and thanked continuously.  I assumed it was a doctor or researcher, not someone with a big heart, hosting the site.

Does anyone have contact with her?  Her blog has also lapsed...

 My wife, southernlady, has tried to PM Tia as well without success.  I have recreated my data and my wife's data in an Excel spreadsheet.  

I will stop now because my wife is posting a reply to you as well.

I am having a hard time finding that cached info on google.. is anyone willing to share their excel spreadsheet with me so that I can get started? It was down by the time I had surgery

my email is [email protected] in the event someone was willing to share their spreadsheet with me..

thanks in advance!

Emailed you.

I've also got the google cache copy and am trying to sort the html & asp code out to port it over to php so it can be recreated on my server and be edited. I have an offer from a coder to help me and she is working on it in her own time.

I've PM'ed Tia twice asking if she would send me a copy of the codebut she hasn't responded to either PM. It's like she has just disappeared.

Well.. I appreciate your effort and the person coding!! I was simply going to create my own in an Excel spreadsheet but would prefer something like Lab Rat Data.  I am new and would love to start now...
