Results for this week

Thanks again to everyone for getting your weights completed and posted in time. The results have been posted, and though Jana thought the last graph was perfect, I decided to change it again. Props to Jenn for the suggestion - we're counting total % lost now instead of total % of starting weight. This means that higher numbers mean you've lost more weight. There is no more baseline (0 is the baseline), so we show the previous 3 weigh-ins on this graph. Leave your comments if you love it or hate it. If you don't care, I don't either :)

Keep up the good work!

Results are on TIME!

Congrats to everyone for weighing in on time, and a big pat on the back to everyone for the success thus far. As a group we have lost just over 96 pounds! Way to go!!!

I have posted the current stats - including adjusting the starting weight for Bryce and Kimi, per their request.

Is this graphic format better?

Absolute Silence

I'm surprised at the lack of chatter on the blog this week. Everyone doing okay? Or perhaps everyone is upset that someone new every week ruins the weigh-in by not posting. Maybe we do need a one strike policy.

Anyway, I updated the results page to show the results so far!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Care for a Brag, anyone?

Time to share some successes!

I thought we could share some joys of our weight loss. Who wants to go first? me? Oh, ok, if you insist.

Jana:I bought size 9 jeans the other day...a size smaller than I have fit into for a long time!!! Also, I think I need a smaller bra, HOORAY! And today I was looking in the mirror and I thought, hmm, my arms look a little smaller! Those are my joys.

I don't want to be BRAGGER, but...

Annette's Joys: My size 8 jeans that I bought in december are looking a little roomie could it be possible that I could fit into a size 6?? I'm certainly going to try!

And Cameron's pants are practically falling off of him, I want to get him new ones, but I'm hoping that he'll keep doing well and get even smaller, so I'm holding off at least until he REALLY needs new ones.

Mer: All I really have to brag about is the fact that I found a REALLY awesome cinnamon rolls recipe. (Meredith! how could you ???)They're so yummy.... I really need to have this baby so I can kick these cravings in the butt.

Christine: I'm fitting into all the cute shirts that I've had hanging in my closet for inspriation! AND I need smaller garments! I'm 199 now, which means I'm lower than I've been in over 5 years, and that I've lost 30 pounds all together!

CHEERS!!! for everyone! Isn't this fabulous? We will all be so much healthier! I am also thrilled to have broken the 200 barrier! yea me! So I am down 10 lbs, but If I count the extra 5 I had lost by Christmas, It's actually 15. I have found some awesome exercise machines for me at my new gym and they are really helping. It feels so great to have more control over my eating, and to Want to eat less! Hey, I am so impressed with Cam! How are you doing it? Eating less? Exercising?

Results are in... FINALLY

UPDATE: Sorry for the confusion of the poll. The current method will show every week, so we will have a complete history of every week of the program. This means that every week the graph will get bigger and bigger, it'll be hard to compare everyone at a glance since you will have to scroll through it all. As an alternative, I can limit the graph to just show the first weigh-in (100%) and the previous two weigh-ins. On week 8, you'll see your latest weigh-in (week 8) and the previous one to compare how you did last week (week 7), and the first one (week one) to see how you've done overall. This can be done as a group or individually.

Or I can set it to have a full history of every weigh - in combined as a group (as it is now) or individually - everyone would have their own graph and it would be more of an individual event - though you could scroll through and compare each individual. Is this a little more clear?

Also, I'm doing most of this by hand, so it's fully customizable - if you'd like to see everything (or anything) posted in a different way, please make the suggestion and I'll look for a reason to say no.

Thanks!

Thanks to the slight, uh hum, delay, the results chart was delayed 24 hours out of necessity. Don't worry though, it's been updated and it's posted. Click on the link on the top right of this page to go take a look!

Also, let me know if there's any other info you want to see. I recognize that as we continue to lose so much weight, this chart is going to grow wginormous. I have posted a new poll to the right investigating your interest in the data. Take a minute to let me know what you think!

Web Tracker

Hey everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that there will be an online tracker that posts our results every week in one place to compare how everyone is doing. I have integrated it into a website I whipped up for this contest. If you would like to weigh-in using the link in the upper left that'd be wonderful. If you don't, that's fine too, I'll just scour the blog and enter them myself prior to posting. If you would like to see anything different or have any suggestions, please let me know!
