Below are the week 4 results of the ST Weight Loss Challenge, 2009 edition. The linked spreadsheet shows the data, should you be interested in further analysis.
First, we have lost a combined total of 166.8 pounds! HOWEVER, our stated target totals up to 632 pounds. Still, nice work everybody!
Current leaders:
**Total weight lost ** - SBRW at 11 pounds lost. Sweet! Big boy, Brent1, and littlefoot are tied for 2nd at 9 pounds lost. % of goal reached - SBRW has become our first challenger to reach 100% of his goal weight. Congrats SBRW!!! Next up is littlefoot at 75% attained, then yours truly at 65%. Pounds to goal - littlefoot has only 3 pounds to his goal. I’m next at 3.5 pounds to mine. I might drop my goal weight by a few pounds next week. % of body weight lost - sitting in the number one spot this week - littlefoot at 5.29%, SBRW 2nd at 5.21% and Brent1 is in 3rd at 4.97%
Just for a little extra push - 2 participants are still hanging out at their initial weight - do140.6 and pito00.
If you did not weigh in this week, your information has been suppressed. Simply weigh-in again next monday or tuesday to reappear in the next set of results.
Not sure if the Monday morning weigh-in is a stroke of brilliance, or just pure evil. Either way, it works.
I tell ya what, it really keeps me from eating more on the weekends. It really does.
I’m encouraged to see that I lost the most weight–as of last Sunday. That’s when it happened: I reached my goal and celebrated by baking a chocolate cake and bringing it up to my local bike shop to celebrate (oh ya, and to purchase a 2008 Trek TTX 9.5). What happened to that cake? After a couple of slices (oh ya, and I brought some Jamison too), I somehow racked up two pounds, so now I’m back at 202. Time to get back on the lean meat and vegie train.

** I’ll tell ya what, it really keeps me from eating more on the weekends. It really does.** **** I agree-although I can tell you now (sunday night) that I will not do well tomorrow morning! Wife’s birthday this weekend, and we had 2 nice dinners, and superbowl! Ouch!
