So, we are all (hopefully) familiar with the show Biggest Loser. And pretty much all of you (if you've been keeping up with my posts) know I'm all in for anything Jillian Michael's says, and she's one of my biggest inspirations!


Well, with all that inspiration being thrown at me, I was inspired to make a monthly challenge for this group! It will be called March Motivation Challenge's Biggest Loser Of The Month! (that's a mouthful of a name, right? lol)


Well, in deciding on the way that would work, I didn't take into account that we all have completely different weights, ages, work ethics and all of that, so the way I originally planned it - whoever lost the most weight wins - won't work!


Drizzt_d99 is the one who helped me realize that and came up with the perfect idea!! Instead of whoever loses the most weight, it's whoever has the greatest percentage of weight loss.


Just so I don't confuse you, I'll give you how he help me understand it:


Someone like me who is currently at 245 lbs has a better chance to lose more weight than someone like you who is at 200 lbs.

Lets say I lose 6 lbs, and you lose 5 lbs.

I would win, but technically you lost more percentage and really should be declared the winner.

I would have lost 2.45%, you would have lost 2.5%

Formula:

Weight Lost / Starting Weight X 100

Example: 6 / 245 X 100 = 2.448.


I hope that makes sense to you guys!

But that's how it's going to be, so I can't wait to see everyone's results at the end of the month!

Happy weight-loss! Keep it up, you guys are doing amazing! And I love your enthusiasm.
