    How do I get the program on my name?

    Not too sure what you mean.

    I think she was asking how to get the numbers and dates that everyone else is copy and pasting from yours. I told her that. Not sure if she got it or not

    I'm in again!! I loved when we did this in October. I weighed in this morning but have not owned up to it yet. This challenge is the perfect way to see in black and white where I am and what I need to do. I'll do the math in a bit and edit to add my numbers.


    Starting Weight – 143 lbs. (Thursday 1st March)
    Goal Weight Loss – 6 lbs.
    Week 1 –xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 8th March)
    Week 2 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 15th March)
    Week 3 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 22th March)
    Week 4 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 29th March)

    Total Lost – xxx lbs. (Saturday 31st March)
    Total % Lost – xx % (Saturday 31st March)

    Edited to add SW and chart.

    Good luck to everyone here! I have fallen off the wagon partly due to being lazy and partly due to serious illnesses of family members. This is a great way to be accountable. Thanks Princess!!

    Hi,

    I've been falling of the wagon a bit recently so for March I’m repeating a challenge I did in October to lose 4% off my body weight and am inviting anyone to join me doing so.

    There is no particular exercise needed to be undertaken just weight loss in any fashion you like, the goal is for on 31st you to be 4% lighter than you were on the 1st (formula below).

    Each week members should just post how much you’ve lost and muse about how you’ve done it. Weigh-ins is Thursday but by Monday is fine.

    Starting Weight – 189 lbs. (Thursday 1st March)
    Goal Weight Loss – 7.6lbs
    Week 1 –xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 8th March)
    Week 2 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 15th March)
    Week 3 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 22th March)
    Week 4 - xxx lbs. and xx % lost (Thursday 29th March)

    Total Lost – xxx lbs. (Saturday 31st March)
    Total % Lost – xx % (Saturday 31st March)

    Thanks and I hope you’ll join me. :wink:

    ##CALCULATIONS##

    Unless someone knows better, I’ll use these formulae for calculations.

    1. YOUR 4% goal is;
    (March starting weight) divided by 100 multiplied by 4 = goal weight loss
    e.g. I weigh 189lbs
    189lbs/100 x 4 = 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 (March starting weight) = % lost
    E.g. If I lost 9lbs
    9lbs x 100/189 = 4.8% off starting weight.
    1. You can take your starting weight and multiply it by .04.
    2. Take the lost weight and divide by the new weight will give you your percentage. You can leave the step of dividing by 100 out of both.
