    Can I join? My name is Brandy. My start weight is 181. My goal is 145. If possible I would like to be on the black team... just because it is the only results chart that I fully understand! :blushing:
    I can't weight to get to know everyone!

    Be great to have another player ;)

    Most likely you'll be placed on the team that needs another player to level the teams out. Know what I mean? Each team coach does their statistics a bit differenly. I think the 'black team' coach breaks it down more into loss %'s which I have to say...I agree..I seem to understand that much better myself.:drinker:

    I'm a purple girl...maybe we can just have C (captain of all the teams, Purple team captain as well) do the %'s as well as perhaps the Blue team might too??.

    I imagine you and I aren't the only ones that notice the difference....you just jumped in and mentioned it is all :drinker:

    Isn't it Nicole that's the team leader doing the %'s I am sure she would show you how....then we'd feel like we were doing it like everyone else....and perhaps the Blue team would be interested as well.

    If it hadn't been brought up then we wouldn't know what folks want right? :drinker: So I think it's good that it's being discussed....:drinker:

    I really would like to see all 3 teams layout be the same if at all possible ...and I sure don't mean any critisim by saying that....just would be nice uniformity for ALL the players it seems so we can look at each team's scores and %'s and have it be fluid. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Hopefully Nicole sees this post/topic/thread and jumps in and offers to explain or something to the Awesome Blue & Purple Team Leaders!
    Oh we do love you!!:heart: You all work so hard...:drinker:

    Oh I don't mean to make you embarressed....really I didn't ....it was just an idea she had brought up wanting to join a particular team and so I mentioned it....

    Sorry:blushing: :smooched: Your ROCK PURPLE TEAM CAPTAIN!!!

    It really isn't that difficult.

    ((IW-AW)/IW) * 100= weight loss percentage

    In this formula IW is your initial weight and AW is your actual weight at this point.

    Practically all you do is subtract the actual weight from the initial weight and divide the number obtained by your initial weight. Multiply the result with 100 and you'll get the exact percent.


    So, if I plug in my numbers here.... My initial weight was 288 (I think) My Actual weight now is 275.5 so plugging in those numbers:

    ((288-275.5)/288) x 100= weight loss percentage

    Always start with the first parenthesis and do the subtraction....

    (12.5/288) x 100= weight loss percentage

    Then do the division

    (0.043402.......) x 100= weight loss percentage

    4.43% is my weight loss percentage.

    Let me know if you have any questions. I actually found this formula on a website so I hope it is accurate.
