OK - I THINK THE FAIREST WAY TO ADD UP POINTS IS TO ADD UP ALL THE MEMBERS WEIGHTS, THEN FIGURE OUT THE TOTAL PERCENTAGE LOST FOR THE GROUP. That is the only way to make it fair since the groups are bound to be uneven at some point. I put it in caps to make sure everyone sees it.

"...You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal.
Those patiant Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil..."


Welcome to the hardworking, kind and ever-loyal (and all-out bestest) house of Hufflepuff!!

Now, the first thing I'm gonna work on for us is a fancy little chart with all of our names, starting weights and goals etc. I'll update that every week with up-to-date weight loss information. It will require a lil hocus pocus on my part to relearn how to work Microsoft Excel, but hopefully it won't take me too long to do it, if y'all wouldn't mind waiting!

For a little team spirit, we have the Hufflepuff house badge that I put at the beginning of this post. I already uploaded it to photobucket, so if I give you the link to put it in your signatures (if that's what you want), then it should work just fine.

Now, the house points system. How this works is simply based on total percentage weight lost, for the entire group. I will add up each Hufflepuff's weight, then the total poundage lost in a particular week. I will then use these 2 figures to make a % lost. Each week I will re-evaluate the total weight of our members to make this number. Meaning, for example, one week the total member weight is "A" lbs. The total weight lost is "B" lbs. % lost is B/A multiplied by a hundred. The next week, the total weight will then be "A - B", total weight lost is "C" etc.

Does that make sense? Anyhow, I'm going to look through this thread once more and make a starting list of who we have, then I'll get a head start on the progress table!

LOVE the house badge!!! I was jealous seeing Uno's Gryffindor badge and was about to begin the internet search for ours!

Thanks JD92 for sharing!!

JD92

here's a few more badges!

JD92

ALSO - I need your goal weights!

I will look through the original thread and get as many as I can, but if you havent posted your GW yet, please do so here!

beckey24

My Goal Weight for this challenge is 280.

JD92

thank you Beckey! (:

im nearly finished the table, its taken me forever to format equations and all that fiddly stuff. for any goal weights i dont yet have, i just subtracted 10 from the starting weight. im thinking about whether i can just go without goal weights, it isnt really necessary. but then again, its good encouragement?

what do you think so far?

ashade44

Woo Hufflepuff!! Chart looks fantastical btw! What fun motivation!

diverchic73

Chart Rocks!!! I'm happy with the 10 lb reduction for the goal weight.
