For the new challenge.....

Ok, rather than answer every reply to the last post, I figured I would just start a new one since most of you had the same question. Here's how it will work: This monday you will give me your CURRENT weight Every Monday for the next month you will give me your NEW CURRENT weight Based upon THIS MONDAY'S weight, I will calculate what % you lost (I will do this, so if you are bad at math, it's ok) Every Tuesday I will post what each person's % of loss is from THIS MONDAY to THAT MONDAY. Here is an example: This monday: 200 pounds Next monday: 195 pounds (% of loss is 2.5) This is figured out by taking the pounds lost (5) and dividing it by the starting weight (200) I will ALWAYS use the STARTING weight to figure out your %. So lets say in the second week you loose 5 more pounds....now I will divide 10 by 200. Understand...or am I getting you more confused? I'm doing it this way because 10 pounds on someone who weighs 180 pounds is a higher % than 10 pounds on someone who weighs 400 pounds. Now on the flip side, 10 pounds is harder to loose for the 180 pound person than the 400 pound person. This is 100% fair in giving everyone an equal opportunity to win. Additionally, this gives us motivation to take advantage of what's left of this "honey moon phase" Dawn

Makes sense to me

good LOL...after I typed all that mess I wondered if I sounded like the teacher on "Charlie Brown"...."Wannnt wannnt wannnt" Dawn

Dawn Sounds good to me. I need to be in. It will help me be accountable. I am doing much better than my post the other day. I am good with vits and protein. I still need to work on my liquids and my carb intake. God Bless, Jen

Sounds good to me!

Sounds good to me! Thanks Dawn.

I'm going to give this one a try...keep myself accountable during this "last" month...haha. Thanks! Beth

Totally get it!! I am in too, I may be posting my total a little later at night than some but I will post!! Steph

Hey Dawn, I can't believe that our honeymoon phase is nearing an end. I think that this is a wonderful idea though. Count me in. Beth M

Dawn, count me in. I usually weigh on Tuesdays as that was my surgery day, but I'll switch to MOndays for the time being. My DH and I are leaving for Vegas on Monday so that will be a good incentive for me to stay focused on the trip. Love the percentage idea! Lisa S. 227/161/140 5'6.5"
