##CALCULATIONS##

1. YOUR 4% goal is;
(April starting weight) divided by 100 multiplied by 4 = goal weight loss
e.g. SW 189lbs
189lbs x 0.04 = 7.6lbs weight loss goal

2. For the final weigh-in, to calculate how much you ACTUALLY lost is;
(Total weight loss) multiplied by 100 then divided by (April starting weight) = % lost
e.g. Weight loss = 9lbs
9lbs/189 x 100 = 4.8% off starting weight

I'm in! I won't be able to weigh in on Mondays though, i don't own a scale. But when i go to karate on Tuesday i can weigh in there and post my weight then.

Also, for some of us, 4% can mean 8, 9 or even 10 pounds, which is a large amount of weight to lose in 1 month (and not healthy either). The healthy amount to lose is 1, maybe 2 pounds per week. Also, unless you are doing some crazy crash diet and a ton of exercise, it isn't likely that you'd consistently lose more than 2 pounds per week.

2.5 or 3% per month might be a more reasonable/realistic goal for the majority of us.

The whole purpose of the challenge is to motivate people. As long as people do their best it doesn't matter if they reach the 4% because any progress they make means they are better off then they were at the beginning of the month. I have been part of the March challenge and the person with the highest 4% goal in the challenge. After 4 weeks I'm down 12 lbs which puts me at 3.3%. I know I most likely won't get to 4% by Saturday and I'm OK with that because I'm 12 lbs closer to my ultimate goal of better health.
