No restriction on your location.. No scary yellow line or voting off..
Just good old loss of weight and gaining of confidence - with an option of fitness challenges.

Biggest Loser UK series starts TONIGHT 3rd Jan

Thought we could log our weight loss each week - calculating the % to give a 'virtual' crown to the biggest loser of the week and then overall at the end of the show.

Anyone fancy this?
RIP Angie Dowds... lets do her proud!

Oh and chit-chat about the show also welcome!

List:

Porffor - 3/1/12 - 184.5lbs
«134

    Yay!! I'm not alone! lol

    lauren - the weight you lose you divide by your start weight then multiply by 100. So if you weigh 150lbs and lose 10lbs (yeah we wish) then it'd be 10 Divide by 150 Multiply by 100 = 6.6% or rounded up to 7%
    Hope that make sense - if any doubt we can work it out together later.

    I'm happy to run a table of losses logged for accuracy.

    Jane, if you use Goole docs everyone can log their weights themselves - less work for you?

    Hi! I'd love to join. I've been using MFP for a couple of years but just discovered the message board and support aspect-how great! How do you find "friends"? I'm embarrassed to tell my weight to real life friends and family, but I'm registered with my real name...any advice? Can I change it?
