Hello everyone. I was wondering how many of you would be in for a little challenge for the year. We will do percentages to make it fair. The formula for those of you who don't know how to figure out the percentage of weight loss is very simple

starting weight minus your current weight which will give you how many pounds you have lost. Then take that number and divide it by your starting weight and you will get a decimal number. Multiply that number by 100 and there you have it. Thats how much percentage of your weight loss you have loss

So im currently 238 and my goal is 150. So that's 88 pounds I Need to lose. Take 88 and divide by the starting weight and I get 0.369. Multiply that by 100 and I need to lose 37%

We can do weekly check ins and see how everyone is doing. Whose in for the challenge of 2014? Weigh in days will be Friday's. And you can let everyone know what percentage you loss out of how much you need to. You can post the formula with your weight if you want but you do not have to. Starting out everyone needs to post what the percentage that they need to lose total.

Let's shed the pounds everyone :)

    Look up near the top of the page where it says "Message Boards" then below that it says "Home", "Recent Posts", etc. Click on settings then select "Always show ticker in posts" or something like that, then "Save changes" :)

    I lost 52 lbs in 2013. I have lost an additional 3 lbs so far in 2014.

    In 2013 (From July to December)
    299-247=52
    52/299=.17
    .17*100=17%

    In 2014
    243-175=68
    78/243=.27
    .27*100 = 27%

    OVERALL Weight Loss Percentage will be:
    299-175=124
    124/299=.41
    .41*100 = 41%

    I am starting at 170lb and want t be down to at least 140lb. I had just started today and I am actually enjoying this. I work out for 15 minutes twice a day and eat my own special diet. I am also on my feet for 5-7 hours everyday due to my job. I hope to get to my goal by March or April.
