Formula for calculating weight loss percentage:

Initial weight minus current weight, divided by initial weight multiplied by 100 equals percentage.

((IW-CW)/IW) * 100= weight loss percentage

example:
Initial start weight: 175 pounds
Week 1 weigh in weight:170 pounds
Current (week 2 weigh in) weight: 168

Weekly percentage lost:
170 - 168= 2
2 / 170= 0.011764
0.0117647 x 100= 1.1764%
round up to 1.18
-1.18% weekly percentage lost

Total percentage lost:
175 - 168= 7
7 / 175 = 0.04
4 x 100= 4%
-4% total percentage lost

Week 6: Weigh In Results

Ok ladies, how did we do this week?

For those of you who are sucking at motivation in this like I am...how about instead of giving up, we start fresh today and blitz this thing for the next 2 weeks?! Come on, surely we can do this for 14 days. Surely we can give up our treats and snacks for a mere two weeks. Surely we can haul our lazy booties off the couch and exercise for two weeks. Just two weeks! End strong with me ladies! I have had ZERO motivation lately and I need to rally together with you guys and sprint to the end. If for no other reason...so I can say that I managed to lose MORE than 2 pounds in 8 weeks!

Any Ideas?

Anybody have any good (weight-loss friendly) foods or recipes that they want to share? Maybe something that you couldn't live without?

I need something new.

Listen to Natalie J!

I finally remembered to measure myself today.

I am excited to say that even with my percentage not as high as I would like... I have lost over 2 inches! :)

I measured on May 14 for the first time, so 3 weeks later I am down over 2 inches. That is measuring the usual.. hips, arms, abs, calves.

WOO HOO!

So now... listen to our beloved Natalie J and MEASURE YOURSELVES TODAY!!!
