So just to recap, and correct me if I'm wrong:
Ash won this week with her questionable loss of 2.7%
Yrautca came in second with a strong showing at 1.9%
I came in third with a 1.1%, the hardest 2 lbs I ever lost
Linny came in fourth with 0.57%
and Berly came in fifth with a gain of 0.69%
I'm so freakin' tired today, I was in butt-fuck nowhere watching the boyf's band play last night, I didn't find out till I got there that their band was going on last and I wouldn't get to bed until 2am. The upside is that the band sounded amazing. The downside is that I ate a plate of chicken fingers and fries, and the worst part was that I was satisfied after the chicken fingers and a quarter of the fries, but I ate the other three quarters of the fries because they were there. Restaurants are a problem for me. The other downside is that I had to be at work at the crack of dawn today and I'll be busy until after midnight tonight. TGIF my ass! The upside is that this is a party office, so everyone is hung over this morning.

Jennifer keeps proving to be a woman way smarter than women her weight group. Honestly, one day when I do start my own company I may try and hire her to run the human resources.
Because her idea about not counting losing what you gained back is absolutely brilliant. I propose this:
Define yoru lowest weight achieved thus far as X. you can only have a postivie percent when you go below X in a week. As long as you stay above X, you get a negative percent even if you have lost what you gained BACK.
Example:
Week 1: 175 lbs
Week 2: 170 lbs; percent: (175-170)/175 = 2.9%
Week 3: 175 lbs; percent: (170-175)/175= -2.9%
Week 4: 172 lbs; percent is NOT (175-172)/175 = 1.7%; the actual percent should be (X-172)/X = (170-172)/170 = -1.2%.
This makes perfect sense. If you keep losing what you keep gaining you are NOT a winner.
Ash did not win. if you ask yourselves earnestly whether losing what you gained back is winning, the answer would be no.
You drive me nuts
So because Berly gained a pound this week, that means whatever she loses next week doesn't count??? I disagree.
Whatever she loses next week does count but only after she is below her lowest point X. do the math.
This is just dumb. Just think about what we started out to do. We said we want to get fitter and lose weight. in an extreme case if someone gains back all the weight they lost since start of this competition and then lose 3lbs and become a winner that week, that’s ridiculous.
Yrautca, yeah i know exactly what Jennifer and I set out to do thanks.
you are fat. thanks.
Whether or not you gain it back, if you lose it again and it happens to be the best for the week, you win, because we are going week by week, not totals each week.
Yrautca is just pissed because he lost again.
You got a new job jenny??
Yrautca - Are you always this bossy and confrontational? Are you an only child? It seems as though you like having things your way quite a bit.
I hate to be the bad guy, but I have to agree with Yrautca here. I know Ashley and I know that she'd be content to sit on her plateau forever and win one week and gain the next week loss. You can't just take a week off on the competition and gain a pile of weight. I know it's hard to lose the weight whether you've already lost it once and gained it back or whether it was first time weight loss, but it's also hard to keep it off and that's what the rest of us are trying to do.
According to the rules Ash did win last week, there's no debate there, but I think we should discuss whether a change in the rules is in order.
Berly's already weighed in on the side of the status quo, so has Ash. Yrautca wants a change and so do I. That leaves Linny to express an opinion.
Any descision we make on this should not apply until after this week though, I don't want to screw anyone over.
Thank you, jennifer.
Oh yeah, I forget to put in my loss for last week. It was .625%. Not so great. But, somehow I feel that this week might be even worse.
