    It would be like the challenge that was on here last year. I'd like it to run until Memorial Day. Anyone would be welcome to join the challenge at any time. The challenge would be based on a % of weight lost each week. Here's the formula:

    Formula for figuring %
    1. starting weight - current weight
    2. divide weight lost by starting weight
    3. Mutliply by 100

    For example, step 1: 180lbs - 175lbs = 5lbs; step 2: 5lbs / 180lbs = .028; step 3: .028 x 100 = 2.78%

    Your starting weight is your current weight at the start of this challenge, i.e. when you "sign up."

    I'll post a new topic every Monday with the list of participants and their current progress. Participants can then reply with what their new total weight loss percentage is for that week and I'll update the list. We all weigh at different times during the week, so you can post your weekly update at any time in the current weekly challenge topic.

    If you're still up for the challenge, let me know in this post. I'll add your name to the list next Monday for Week 1 progress updates.

    Let's have fun!

    karryann above are some details about the challenge.

    spottedkathy weigh in is whatever day of the week you prefer. It's a pretty easy going challenge.

    Nope, scouts honor. Just make note of your current weight this week. It's based on percentage, so shy peeps don't have to give their actual weight. I have to say I'm really happy with the response so far. I didn't think anyone would be interested. I hope we can all have fun with this and feed on each other's success. :happy:

    3/10/14:

    1.) Starting Weight: 203.4 lbs (on 3/3) - Current Weight: -199.8 lbs = 3.6 lbs

    2.) 3.6 lbs / 203.4= 0.0176

    3.) 0.0176 * 100= 1.769

    4:) Total Lost: 1.77%

    :glasses: SQUEE!!!!!!!

    I weigh on Wednesdays, so I'll post then.
    I'll admit, I've been off of my low carb since my brother's wedding two weeks ago.
    But, back on track today. Hopefully my weight on Wednesday will be a little lower than last week due to the loss of water weight!

    Great job TattooTwinset - that's a wonderful loss for the week!
