    Thanks, I hope you’ll join me and good luck!

    ##CALCULATIONS##

    1. YOUR 4% goal is;
    (April starting weight) divided by 100 multiplied by 4 = goal weight loss
    e.g. SW 189lbs
    189lbs x 0.04 = 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 (April starting weight) = % lost
    e.g. Weight loss = 9lbs
    9lbs/189 x 100 = 4.8% off starting weight

    Count me in too! I am already signed up for a challenge lasting until June which has set a target to lose 8%. But this will help me to stay focussed and hopefully I will lose more that 8% by June 18th!

    My target is 7.6lbs.
