Heavyweight Challenge 2007-2009 - 5 Days Until the Next Weigh-In (Mar 23, 2008)!

This is the post for the Heavyweight Challenge 2007-2009, for which sign-ups were held here.

All participants have been assigned to one of either Team Hare or Team Tortoise. The team with the most points at the end of the challenge wins. You may earn points in the following ways:

• Each percentage of weight lost is 100 points, and fractions count, so that 0.1%, for example, is 10 points.
• If you specify your height, each KG/M^2 BMI lost is 300 points.
• If you specify your body fat percentage, each percent loss is 50 points and each percent gain of lean body mass is 100 points.
• Each day, you can earn 0.015 points per calorie under your burn you have consumed. This is only if you post your calorie consumption and burn each day, or for all 7 days (Sunday-Saturday) if you post it on each weigh-in.
• You can earn 0.025 points for each calorie you burn with exercise daily, if you post it daily or for all 7 days (Sunday-Saturday) if you post it on each weigh-in.
• Every weigh-in, the winning participant and team from the last weigh-in will be calculated. The winning participant will be given 50 points, and the winning team will receive 25 points for each person on the team. Further, the person who earns the most points for a weigh-in on each team will receive 25 points.
• For each person who reaches a goal on or before the goal date, they earn 1,000 points.

Weigh-ins are on Sundays. You should try to weigh-in on this day if you can, but you will have until Saturday night at midnight each week to weigh in for the previous Sunday. I ask that you certainly don’t make a habbit of weighing in so late, but some people can't always make it on Sunday. Also, if you miss four consecutive weigh-ins, you’ll be removed from the challenge. This challenge depends on participation.

Keep an eye on your dynamically-generated stats, as it will let you know whether you are on track. It will let you know if you should be able to reach your goals, and on what dates, and also how far you have come so far.

When you weigh in, at least specify your current weight and not only the amount lost. In addition, if you do not post your calorie consumption and burn and calories burned with exercise every day, you can post them when you weigh-in for the previous seven days (Sunday-Saturday).

If you have suggestions for how to better this challenge, please let me know!

i am weighing in at 205

Susan, I actually do need intake and burn numbers, since I didn't htink people would want to calculate the deficit. They don't have to be exact of course, but I need the associated date as well. Same goes for exercise. Which day was this exercise?

• Starting weight (October 21, 2007): 253.2 LB (114.8 KG)
• Weight at start of challenge (November 21, 2007): 235 LB (106.6 KG)
• December 30, 2007: 227 LB (103 KG)
• Current weight: 218.2 LB (99 KG)
• Weight lost this week: 8.8 LB (4 KG)
• Weight lost since the start of the challenge: 16.8 LB (7.6 KG)
• Total weight lost: 35 LB (15.9 KG)
•  Goal weight: 168 LB (76.2 KG) - 50.2 LB (22.8 KG) to go!

Hi Dev: Here goes, although how hard can it be to subtract a number? no offense to anyone.

12-30-07: intake - 1130; calorie burn meter: 2110 - deficit - 980

12-31-07; est. intake 2110; cbm - 2110; deficit 0

1-1-08; est. intake 2110; cbm - 2110; deficit 0

1-2-08; intake - 1223; cbm - 2110; exercise - 25 minutes stairs calories burned 289; deficit - 1176

1-3-08; intake - 1735; cbm - 2100; deficit - 365

1-4-08; intake - 1650; cbm - 2100; deficit - 450

1-5-08; intake - 1473; cbm - 2100 - deficit - 627

Edit:  AND WAY TO GO ON THAT WEIGHT LOSS!!!!

Hope that helps.  I plan to get back to going to the gym this week.  Thanks and have a great one.

 

Thanks Susan. Well, I figured it'd be easier to just copy out of the account page, but I guess it could've gone either way.

Yeah, I was shocked with that weight loss. Now whether that's just a temporary plummet or if it'll go down from here I have no idea.

January 6, 2008 weigh-in: 273.2! I missed the first goal but may actually make the second one.

Hi all - Weighing in at 177 today.  I'll post my daily stats at the end of the day.  Made my 1st goal - YEAH!

I'm at 294 today, down from 298 last week.  Definitely trying to keep this up!!!

Honestly, I haven't had a chance to log my foods/activity over the past few days.  I did start back at the gym yesterday!  Yay!

Nice job everyone! It looks like we've all so far recovered from Christmas.

Congrats everyone!!!  Looks great, but it also looks like we are missing a whole lot of people...  Where did everyone go?  Dev, sorry if I sounded bitchy, but i dont enter everything in the computer cause I just don't have time.  I keep a book with me that I log everything in to.  Kind of like a daily journal.   And I'd like to suggest the same thing to everyone else that feels like they don't have time to be online all the time.  I received a daily calendar type thing from one of my underwriters and it's just perfect for this. Just get a daytimer or something similar or even a calendar book with blank pages like this one has and do a page each day showing what you weigh, what your burner thing says and each item you eat, drink, whatever and your exercise.  It works for me cause I can go back and see what I did and whether it's working.  Love it.  You can also make notes as to what happened that day that made you go off!!!  Gives a little insight into what makes you nuts. 

Way to Go all!!!

Hey everyone - I'm weighing in at 173.4!

Hey again, here are my daily stats.

Jan 6

Eaten:  1204

Burned:  2380

Deficit:   1176

Exercise:  641 calories burned (62 minutes on recumbent bike and 15 minutes of weights)

Have a great week everyone! 

susanfinkel, yeah I don't know where everyone went.

OK, so I had a hectic day today so I couldn't plan out my meals and just planned as I went. Result? It's 20 till 10 at night and I've only had 1,184 calories. I don't even have anything higher calorie here that I could hope to fill that gap with to try to get to 1500. I guess I'll just try to do better tomorrow.

hey, sorry I could log in earlier. I weighed myself this morning, but I was out of it most of today. I am a bit dissapointed, but I know it is mostly or all water weight and bloating. This week I will watch my intake and excersise regularly so hopefully I can lose some next week.

this week: 149.0

I didn't count calories today. and no excercise.
