You can do what PosMe does (I just can not call you POS. :laugh:) which is a great solution but the equation is pretty simple.Can someone tell me how we do the calculations for our Friday weigh in? I can't seem to remember and I want to be able to calculate it tomorrow morning when we weigh in...Thanks!!
Take the amount of weight you lost and divide it by last week's weight. Then you just move the decimal 2 places to the right to get your percentage.
For example, let's PRETEND (
) last week I weighed 206.0 and I weigh 199 tomorrow morning (ha). That means I lost 7.0 pounds this week. So, 7.0/206.0 = 0.0339805825...
Move the decimal over 2 spots & drop off everything but the first 2 positions after the decimal = 3.39% (or you could round to 3.40% using standard rounding rules if you want).
One way to keep track of whether your answer is correct is, if you weigh over 200 pounds and you lose less than 2 pounds, your percentage is always going to be under 1% because 2.0 is 1% of 200. 0 -

Awesome! Thanks!!0 -
Checking in one last time...:ohwell:
I'm not going to be on MFP anymore for reasons that I'm not comfortable going into BUT...you guys have been so very supportive and very motivating and for that I wanted to say thank you,
Take care...and I hope that you all will one day reach your Onederland goals. I plan too, slowly but surely...but I'm hoping to get there one of these days.0 -
And, I'm back down to 206.6 this morning. I've dropped over 4 pounds in under 3 days. :laugh: Easter & TOM did a freaking number on me this week but I'm almost back down to my lowest adult weight ever & TOM is still here so I even have a little hope that I've actually lost weight this week & it's still being masked by water weight. I measured myself quickly this morning and I've lost another half inch from my waist (smallest point & belly button) and maybe a whole inch from my hips (I will remeasure when I get home) and possibly 1/2 inch from each thigh, too in just a few weeks (since the measurement challenge). I was encouraged by that, especially by the hips & thighs because if I'm going to say I have a "trouble" zone (as opposed to my entire body being the "trouble zone" :laugh:), that's definitely it. My stepdad did say "I can see the weightloss in your legs now" last weekend so maybe it is starting to happen faster down there. I've always heard women lose weight from the eyebrows down. :huh:
I seem to have lost weight pretty evenly so far, but I've always had monster legs. Huge thighs (My waist is 33" right now. My thighs are 27"... :noway:) and even huger (
) calves. I can't wear zip up boots because of them... I can't even wear lace up boots. I look horrible in any skirt that doesn't go down to my ankles. They're very muscular -- actually nearly rock hard at this point. :ohwell: But I know as I continue carrying around less and less weight, the muscle will probably get smaller. I know most people fight to maintain muscle but a little bit of muscle loss wouldn't be so bad in my case. If not, oh well. I'll just be the very fit girl with humongous calves. 0 -
Little Spy-I know what ya mean about the boots! Drives me crazy!! But think I'm almost there. I definitely agree with the thought that women lose weight from the eyebrows down. My bottom half is just killing me. But it's going away slowly! I measured this morning and have lost a half inch in my hips and waist and an inch on my thighs. I don't even bother with my calves...those are mostly muscle anyawys. Don't think they are going anywhere. Unfortunately!

Well girls Jeremy and Nathan both are safe but a friends Uncle is one of the 4 missing miners that they are looking for.I am praying so hard that he and the other 4 are still alive because Rick is a family friend and it would be so sad to lose the other 4 miners on top of the other 25.Continue to pray for these families.We now have heard that a group from Westboro Baptist church are coming in to protest the deaths of these coal miners by telling the families that GOD HATES US and we are all going to HELL!!! These people are using God to hide behind while they HATE .These are just one of the many comments this church has made over many things going on in the World and I would like to share this particular one."The Lord God Almighty killed [the people who died on 9/11], looked at them in the face, laughed and mocked at each one of them as he cast each one of them into hell".
Yes these people wrote this and they have said awlful things about the miners who lost there lives.People have been making jokes saying 25 used pick up trucks for sale,or what do you get when you put a hillybilly and an explosive together? these comments are painful and wrong. These people also say THANK GOD FOR DEAD SOLDIERS on picket signs.Those dead soldiers are the reason they are allowed their freedom of speech.I hate to say this as a Christian for 23 years,if these people show up in my community with there picket signs and HATRED WORDS well lets just say that people around hear are fierce when it comes to GOD,family and friends.So they just might be welcoming theirselves for what us country folk call MOUNTAIN JUSTICE,and they might as well put a sign on there foreheads that says "Please point gun here"So sad people are like this and using God to show their hatred.0 -

Oh my word that is so awful!! So sorry to hear they are saying things like that. I will continue to pray for the ones who are still missing. Glad to hear your two friends made it out okay though! Keep us updated! Hang in there girl!
LittleSpy-I know you will appreciate this. So this morning I decided to try this yogurt for the 3rd time. I bought the Fage with Strawberry...oh my god it is AWESOME!!! I put some of the Kashi go Lean with it like you suggested and it was sooooo yummy!!! :bigsmile:0 -
Good morning girls!!!
My mood is slowly but surely improving, even though the scale is still being painfully mean and my allergies are awful.
jesyka- Im sorry you had a falling out with your inlaws it can be tough to deal with. I know people say to wait to get married/have kids for when you are financially ready but I always argue that you are NEVER financially ready. Something alwasy comes up when you think you are doing alright! Thanks foe sharing your story with me!
lilspy- I might increase my intake, but I have a hard enough (mental) time reaching 1200. I think you are absolutely correct acout it being time to up the calories though...so scared!!!
awestfall- I was so PO'ed when I read your post! WTF is wrong with those people...send them to my neighborhood I'll deal with them. Thats awful the stuff they are saying and have said! I am however, super happy to hear that your frineds Nathan and Jeremy are safe, thanks heavens!
Going to take my son to the pediatrician today for a follow up visit so Ill only be at work until 1pm. Im sure Ill get adequate stalking time in though
scale was at 213.8 this morning which is still a 2lb gain from last Friday. I dont think its water weight anymore it might be actual gain so if its still there tomorrow I am changing my ticker back...I hate a liar ticker makes me feel like I cheated myself. I am optimistic that the 2lb gain could be from muscle though cause my legs are freaking solid! (well my calves, not so much my thighs:grumble: )
be back later
Cris0 -
Cris-I would have to agree that it's more then likely muscle gain. There is no way you gained 2 pounds in that short of time. It's muscle gain. That's the story and we're sticking to it! :drinker:0

I just need to vent! I want it to be known I hate planning my own birthday party! Can't we just not have a party and not celebreate me getting old!? HAHA!0

:explode: :mad: :explode:
As you can imagine, we have a lot of these people in South Carolina as well. I completely understand how you feel, awestfall. I hate that people hide behind the Christian God and bastardize everything that most other Christians stand for. They give Christians a horrible name which is such a shame because most genuinely religious (no matter what religion) people I meet are kind and basically good.
The "God hates *kitten*" people held a rally at our statehouse just a few weeks ago. The most awesome part is that no one showed up to support them or attend their little rally/protest. But there was a HUGE crowd there to protest their rally. I was so happy to see actual social progress being made here. SC is the butt of so many hateful jokes (as is WV :frown:).

good morning ladies
Yesterday was hectic and didn't have much time to get one
Awestfall - I am soo glad your 2 friends are safe , sorry about the uncle hope he comes out safe too....That is horrible about the attitude of people...that is just not right.
I really don't want to be working i rather be napping, but i don't see that happening.
I am going to try my hardest though to work out at lunch today....i can do it i can do it...i haven't worked out all week and i feel really guilty...i have been sooo super tired hopefully i can get energized some and will feel better. 0 -

Its actually the only explanation I can come up with because I havent eaten 7,000 calories in any day...the most Ive gone over was by 500 calories on Easter and that was it....I havent even really gone over in sodium either...so muscle weight it is. 0 -
Exactly! It just doesn't make sense! I'm starting week 5 tomorrow morning. Any words of wisdom? I almost died last night during my last 5 minute jog. I don't know what the deal was. But I wouldn't let myself stop.0

My "wisdom" (:laugh:) is go for it. Week 4 killed me. I breezed (ha) through week 5. You got this, chick.
Though Cris has proved me wrong. :laugh: (I blame her struggling on stress... and.. *cough* not eating enough *cough* ) But she's doing awesome building up to day 3!
Edit: I hope I didn't overstep bounds there.0 -
Jess- you are doing so awesome on c25k! Dont let the mind tell you cant!! you know you CAN!!!!!0

Trust me I know I need to eat more it just scares the hell out of me because it goes against everything I was ever taught...and yes per your previous advice I have gone and read all the threads for the newbies and I udnerstand it all, now I just have to tell my brain to believe it!!! I will eat more I will eat more, haha0 -

There is a group called the "Patriot Guard Riders" who are a group of motorcycle riders that may be of assistance. To the best of my knowlege they will provide escorts for funeral prosessions and they will also form a human barrier holding american flags to prevent the picketers from being exposed the to or interupting the funeral for those who were in the military.
http://www.patriotguard.org/
There mission statement is:
Patriot Guard Riders Mission Statement
The Patriot Guard Riders is a diverse amalgamation of riders from across the nation. We have one thing in common besides motorcycles. We have an unwavering respect for those who risk their very lives for America’s freedom and security. If you share this respect, please join us.
We don’t care what you ride or if you ride, what your political views are, or whether you’re a hawk or a dove. It is not a requirement that you be a veteran. It doesn't matter where you’re from or what your income is; you don’t even have to ride. The only prerequisite is Respect.
Our main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family. Each mission we undertake has two basic objectives:
1. Show our sincere respect for our fallen heroes, their families, and their communities.
2. Shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protestors.
We accomplish the latter through strictly legal and non-violent means.
To those of you who are currently serving and fighting for the freedoms of others, at home and abroad, please know that we are backing you. We honor and support you with every mission we carry out, and we are praying for a safe return home for all.
This group is amazing! My husband belongs and it does some wonderful things. I am not sure how many of the miners were part of the military but, for those who were maybe these guys can help shield some of the ignorance of the group you speak of.0 -
Cris-Don't feel bad I have a hard time convincing myself too that I'm going to have to do that eventually too. I can barley get myself to 1200 these days. Have to force myself to eat. The worst part is I'm not usually hungry.0

I am really sad about Onederland, I wonder what happened. I hope Noone made her feel like she could not be here.
Ann, that is really sad that those people claiming to be "Christians" do this. God does NOT HATE anyone. God only HATES sin!!! I hate it when they start claiming that it is because God hated someone. NO it happened because things happen. Man has free will and it is his free will that caused those highjackers to jump on a plane and kill innocent people on 9/11. It is mans free will that has caused war!!! It is mans free will that has caused all kinds of bad things. Man needs to quit blaming God and start looking within themselves. I know there are jokes about CA as well. I personally think some of the derogatory things said about CA are true.:laugh: :laugh: I am a conservative girl living in a conservative county living in a Oh so ridiculously liberal state!!!!! I think animals and trees are more important than humans according to CA government! Anyways, I am so pleased that your friends are well!!! Thank the God in heaven because it was him that kept them safe. As for you miner friends who are gone I am so sorry!!! Thankfully, if they Loved God and Lived for him they are in a better place today!!! I know that does not make the pain go away but at least it is a comfort to know!!
Cris, I doubt you have gained any real fat. I am sure that it is muscle. You are doing so well. Maybe you should increase your cals a little bit:flowerforyou:
Jess, Happy up coming birthday. Girl do NOT talk to me about getting old. I will be 40 this year. What are you in your 20's? Yeah, that is not old!!!!!:flowerforyou:
Jessyka, sorry to hear about your in-laws, I think that if you are living as a family with your children, why NOT get married. If we waited until we could afford marriage or children none of us would have any. :laugh: :laugh: I know things will work out!!!
lildeb, you can do it , you CAN do it , !!! How is the little one with the new tubes in her ears? I bet she is doing so much better. How is you older girl doing with school lately? You have not mentioned too much I assume it is all going so much better. i hope so.
Littlespy, I think it depends on the woman with the inches. Just the way we are shaped and the last place we gained weight will be the firs we lose it. Your waist in inches is getting close if not already there to the size Dr. Oz says this size and smaller is healthy. Wow that is really great. You are doing so good. I personally, lose my inches in the waist first. I have smaller ankles and calves (meaning for a fat chick) big thighs, butt, and hips, small waist. My waist is12 inches smaller than my hips. Even at my largest weight my waist was that much smaller. My upper arms are huge though I think they are the same size as my calves. ( a little smaller):sick:
Okay girls things are looking good for me this week. I have already lost 4 pounds. What did I tell you about cleaning like a mad woman. For those of you who have never heard my house cleaning story here it goes. About 8 years ago my husband and I with our then 3 children moved in with my mother to save money to buy a house. We lived there for 5 months. She was a neat freak (always has been one) So I would clean like a mad woman. I mopped/ swept/vacuumed/dusted and did dishes every single day. She had white floors in the kitchen so I swept and mopped 2-3 times a day. Never watched what I ate just cleaned like a crazy person. I lost 17 pounds in those 5 months. I know that is not that great in 5 months, but I was NOT trying to lose any weight. So this week as you know I have been cleaning like crazy and doing yoga for strength and I am down 4 pounds:noway:0
