Sorry, this is incorrect. It compares the amount of weight lost to the current weight, when really it should compare the amount of weight lost to the weight you were *before* you lost some.You take the amount of weight lost, divided by current weight and multiply by 100
2.4 lbs. / 175 * 100 = 1.37%
For example, if a 100 pound person lost 10 pounds -- we all know that that's a 10% weight loss. But by your formula, it would be 10 lbs / 90 * 100 = 11.11%.
The correct formula should be the amount of weight lost, divided by what you weighed before losing, and then multiply by 100. So, 10 lbs / 100 * 100 = 10%
Robin, thanks.
Okay, if everyone agrees, then we should each calculate our own % of weight lost (unless you just want to stick with lbs) -- individually or by team, so the organizers don't have to do all that work.
BTW, how do you get those little fruit symbols? Wonder if there's one for blue?

Totally rocked Friday's challenge for Team Crimson... biked to and from work, 20ish minutes each way (I'm calling it 40 total) and drank a whopping 18 glasses of water in prep for a 5k tomorrow morning!!!! Oh, and I stayed 100 under my goal for calories! I did eat some of my exercise calories (I always do) but staying under and happy about that!
Wish me luck, hoping for a PB on the 5k!0 -
Yes, I agree that % is the best way to do the challenge! I'm good to send my weekly percentage based on the most recent (correct) formula:D
BTW... totall failed Friday's challenge although... may end up meeting the under calories challenge due to not getting in lunch thanks to my poorly behaved 11yr old (grrrr!) Was so distracted that I forgot to eat - totally not like me!
Looking forward to how everyone has done this week - me, not too optomistic for a loss but stayed on track nonetheless;)
Good luck everyone!0 -

Fridays challenge - met exercise failed on calories though :-(
Am checking in a day early due to not being sure I can get online tomorrow - 177 so still a loss of 1.4 lbs = 0.78% (worked out by 1.4/178.4*100, I think that's the correct formula)0 -

OK, I googled "mint pictures" to try find something for my team -- all it brought up was images of money... (US Mint, coins, etc.) Guess that means we're the $$$ winners $$$ LOL:laugh:0 -

Do a specific mint like peppermint. You'll get pictures just fine. 0 -

PLEASE IGNORE ABOVE POST Sorry need to wipe the sleep from my eyes.
My weight is 140.75 this morning, I was just checking previous posts when I noticed that we should work the % out ourselves, that's when I noticed the big mistake. (Wishful thinking on my part????)
So if I've got it right this time -- I have lost 0.87%0 -

I've exercised more, eaten healthier, and drank more water than ever before in my life..... and I'm STILL stuck at 197.8. Was hoping I could break this plateau, but not this week, I guess!! I'm exactly where I started last Sunday.
Good luck to everyone else in the challenge!!!0 -
