    Sh$t Connie, what the heck did you do? Swallow a handful of laxatives last night? :grumble: :sick: Being you're my best friend in the real world, I'm very excited you're almost in the 230's... but a little worried after that loss. :sad: Slicksters....we can do this!!!!!! :devil:

    Here's mine...a loss is a loss. Sorry it's not more gals. Hardly ate last night and under cals just to be on the safe side and it's way down from Friday at least. Still TOM so next week will be nice if I'm still here. :heart: :flowerforyou:

    Last week 177.6 So I lost 1.6!!

    So, this is what working out only 3 days last week and eating out A LOT (but always staying under calories) has done for me :happy:

    Good luck everyone!! And, by everyone I mean Slimsters!!! :devil:

    Just wanted to say that I will have the results posted by noon....I think you will be surprised by the results

    1) The person with the highest percentage of weight loss determine the trade...you will take one person from your team and trade for someone on the opposing team.

    2) The losing team will eliminate the person with the lowest % of weight loss.

    Check back at noon....

    I'm hoping this means that the slicksters are winning (and I'm not getting eliminated)! :ohwell:

    I think we're all sitting here, waiting in suspense! Ooooh, what WILL happen this week? I honestly feel the Slicksters took this one. We shall see - soon, hopefully!!

    I weighed in at 177.0...up 2 lbs:sad:

    Week4.jpg

    Highlights of Week #4:

    Despite, Healthymom‘s incredible weight loss, the Slicksters “spanked” the Slimsters. Losing at total of 5.5 lbs

    Yet again, Healthymom's reign of terror continues:angry: ....4 lbs. lost and 1.54% of her body is now missing. She gets to throw some more power around…yep, that’s right…she’s going to try and make the team stronger by trading key players. Please select someone within 24 hours and PM me with your targets. BTW, where did that willpower and determination come from? Who will you select?

    Bummers…Nisijam5 is eliminated from the competition for a weight gain of 2.0 lbs. :cry: She feels totally robbed, exercised 447 minutes and burned over 3000 calories doing so. :grumble: Is she holding water due to all that exercise? Or, was her final demise because of the BBQ Saturday night with cocktails? Who knew BBQ could deliver such a crushing defeat? BBQ is evil.:devil:

    Weight busters....
    1) MszShogan, once again, @ 179.5 busts into the 170’s, saying goodbye to the 80’s:love:
    2) McFatterton @ 187.6 solidified her stay in the 180’s...will she keep pushing forward?:smokin:

    Nine lives award.... Runner915, saved from elimination despite and early weigh-in and gain of 0.8 lbs.:flowerforyou:

    Things to watch…
    1) Who will be traded? :huh: Will Healthymom want Irishgal on her team to stop harassment? After all the smack talk, will she pick MszShogan? Or, will it be our shrinking Heather?
    2) MszShogan, teeters on the brink of the 180s…can she maintain it?
    3) Healthymom, is on the verge of breaking the 250s…will she be closer to 200s than 300s next week?
    4) You will want to fight hard for the challenge next week. The winner will have IMMUNITY. :heart: That’s right, we can’t touch you. You are safe from elimination. Now, I ask you, how do you play the game with IMMUNITY?

    Who will be the recipient of the 1st Fit-n-Trim to Win Challenge....Will it be you?????

    YEAH SLICKSTERS WIN!!!!!! :drinker: :happy: :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: :tongue:

    BOO Kim is out!!!!! :angry: Will you still give us the play-by-play every week that you're SO good at???

    Congrats to all on the losses though, we're ALL winners when we're losers! :flowerforyou:

    I still think that since Courtney was eliminated and from their team that Kim should be in for another week. Thoughts??? I'm sure she would never try it since she's in charge, but I think if we all agreed, she should stay in it.


    OMG...now we wait for the wrath of Connie....gulp.

    Ooooh, this could get very interesting! What shall I do, just what SHALL I do? :tongue: Heh heh heh....

    Kim - you can't leave us!!! :brokenheart:

    I have a question: why are the weekly weight losses (or gains) divided by the starting weight? Should the weekly loss (or gain) be divided by the prior week's weight? If we were doing an overall weightloss, that is, how much percentage we've lost from the very beginning up to today, then we'd want to take the total weightloss and divide that by the very beginning weight. I'm not complaining, I'm not bashing, I'm simply confused, and I ask questions when I'm confused. So please don't take it the wrong way. Hmmmm...... maybe there's a simple explanation that I just can't see - I very well could be having a brain freeze....

    I do NOT like that I have to trade a team member to gain a new member - that is NOT going to be easy... :frown:

    Let's TOTALLY keep Kim!!!!

    And Maria, what are you worried about? You know I couldn't be against you........ or.... could I.....? HAHAHA!!

    OF COURSE...Play-by-play is very important to this game...we need to be acknowledged for our hard work...I know it's been a hard week for you; so, good job on the weight loss...the 0.25 lb penalty is factored in the formula.

    Since I am out of this session, I will probably restart a new game for the beginning of May....Can you tell me anything that you liked - or -dislike about this competition?

    I will check out the formulas to make sure they are right...maybe, I messed them up somehow

    That just made my eyes go crossed and gave me a headache.....and I only made it to the 2nd sentence :huh:
    Math was never my forte :laugh:

    And, I also agree with keeping Kim!

    Boy, oh, Boy...Healthymomma is on the ball today...my formulas were messed up, :blushing: didn't make a huge change; but, I will repost for you later...

    I appreciate you all wanting to keep me in the game; however, I don't think that would be fair. You all deserve to be in the contest based on the rules. I will restart a new competition when I return, all fat and stuffed from Chicago, at the end of the month. Which you all are welcome to join as well.

    Do you think there are too few people in the competition? I kind of like it smaller. We don't have to commit to a long period of time. Maybe, make the teams 6 instead of 5.

    I will still weigh in with the group...my goal is 170 by the end of the month...boy, do I feel like the pressure is off now:yawn:

    I agree that Kim should stay. I mean, it only makes sense. If she leaves now then the competition will be over a week earlier than expected (since Courtney and Faith went out the same week). Being over a week earlier would be detrimental to my weight loss. :laugh: That said, how can we NOT let Kim stay? :huh:

    I'd be fine with this being a non-elimination week. (The Slicksters board was already talking about this before we knew Kim was out) But of course if Kim can't take the heat...she should RUN!!!! lol.

    I'm so proud of the Slickersters! We are catching up! Whoohooo!!!

    Connie has decided to trade Runner915 and HeatherShrinking....hmmm...it's definitely going to even more interesting

    I would love to stay in the game. However, I don't think it's fair to all of you guys. I will still weigh in with you and run the competition. This competition will end May 23rd.

    I am going to start a new one on Wednesday, May 4th when I return from Chicago. :drinker: I am NOT having Monday weigh-ins. :grumble: I will save spots for all of you would would like to join that one.

    So, please give input about any changes that you think would make the competition more fun...I'm thinking bigger teams of 6 or 7 if you want it to last a bit longer.

    Faith, are you interested in round 2???:devil:

    Save a spot for me - my birthday is Saturday and then Sunday we're going to be traveling all day and I'm sure my food choices will be less than favorable.....:ohwell:

    I'm all for non-Monday weigh-ins! :drinker:

    I am interested in round 2 for sure.

    Heather - we will have to make a MN team on here vs another state - that would be fun sometime...you, me, Connie, Kim...who am I forgetting? We're gonna seriously miss you on our team. :brokenheart: :sad: :brokenheart:

    Kim...thanks for keeping this up. This is the best challenge!!

    Wait! WHAT? I'm having a complete identity crisis over here. I started on the Slimsters, than was randomly picked to move to the Slickerster to even out the teams.... and now I'm a Slimster again? I'm getting dizzy :sick: ....so dizzy...

    Bye Slicksters, I'll miss you.

    Hello Slimsters, Can someone give me the link to our thread?

    Irish - would love to make a Minnesota team! MN vs the world! Mwahahahaha
