Biggest Weight Loser - Weight-In for Wk 5

Just to let you all know....

I will be posting the Blue team results ASAP. It will not be until this evening. I have an open house at my son's school in about 20 minutes and posting these results is at least 1/2 hour or more. I am not waiting on anymore weights to come in. Just cant make it happen before I go.

I do want to apoligize to the blue team for not being timely with the posts. I know you all wait patiently and for this I thank you. With 30 plus members on each of these teams it is no easy task to put all of these #s together!

Great job Black and Purple Teams....Blue results to come!

Way to go everyone. We had a great week. I happen to be the only one who actually gained and that is WOW! Everyone else either lost or stayed the same! Yahoo! And another big thing is that only 1 person didnt get me their information for the week!

Side note...We did have alot of new people come on in the past 2 weeks and several people leave the competition so if I have made a mistake in your #s please sent me a personal message and we can figure out what I did wrong. Thanks!

Good luck to Blue, Black and Purple in week 6!

Amy

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:

:blushing: :drinker: thanks...was a nice surprise when I realized how much I was down.:noway:

Yea to the purple team!!!

Holy Smokes Fitness Chick that weight is melting off!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

This is so embarrasing .... but hey it's worth saying, maybe I'll get help ...

I don't know how to do the %'s :blushing:

If someone is willing to step up and help me in that area I would greatly appreciate it. :flowerforyou:

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!! You all work so hard...:drinker:

This is so embarrasing .... but hey it's worth saying, maybe I'll get help ...

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.

:noway: that left me more cunfuse on %'s ....lol :blushing:

Ack!!! didn't mean to do that!!!!:ohwell:

If you send me the starting weight loss for our team (and any other team) I can send those to you if you like....

I would like to join my current weight is 208 would like to be 150.Please reply.

Hey girlie! I'm sure Canelitas will PM you or send you a message here. If not, then touch base with her. She's great (as anyone here will tell you ). Welcome to MFP! It's nice to meet you.

Way to go Purple. This is so exciting to actually see the percents too.

Great job Tina.You go girl.

Canelitas. We have a great team and love what you have done for us with this challenge so far.
Keep up the good work.
