WEEK TWELVE RESULTS

Hello everybody. Sorry about the delay in getting the results posted. As Jon "No H in his Name" Stodola wrote in an email earlier this week you all did an awesome job closing out the competition. You can see from the graphs below the strong finish we had. We ended by improving our PpPpW metric each of the last 3 weeks. That enabled this group to put up the best ever cumulative PpPpW score for a 12 week period. Congratulations!!!

One last measure of the great job everyone did is the total amount of weight that was lost. As a group we lost 151 pounds. That is the equivilent of creating a calorie difficiency of more than a half a million calories over the competition (528,500 to be exact) via eating less or exercising more. On average each person had a calorie difficiency of 2447 calorie on their diets each week. That is truly amazing when you consider the USDA recommended caloric intake for a 200 pound man per day is 2400 calories (its like we all stopped eating 1 day out of the week).

WEEK ELEVEN RESULTS

Hello everybody. Some late reporting has delayed the updates but they are now posted. We have put together another good week. We slightly bumped up our points per person from last week (led by Tom’s 10 point smack down); that is a real achievement this late in the competition. We are doing really well as a group and everyone should feel good about the accomplishments so far.

WEEK TEN RESULTS

Another good week; we set another all time high for week 10 with 5.1 points per person. There we 5 people reporting 7 or more points this week; I am truly impressed with the commitment we have all made fitness and diet. Combined with 9 pounds lost and it was another awesome weekly performance. We are set up in good position to finish the competition with the best point per person total ever; however, it is not a guarantee so let’s keep the focus for 2 more weeks (really about 8 days as I post this set of results).

WEEK NINE RESULTS

Hello everybody. Looks like we chalked up another good week. 4.9 points per person and 15 pounds lost. That is great progress this late in the competition; in fact that is the highest point total for week 9 of any competition. We are 75% of the way through the competition so keep up the good work (we have the best ever performance as a group well in our sites).

Week 8 results have been updated as well and you will notice we actually had a 2.2% improvement between week 7 and week 8.

WEEK EIGHT RESULTS

Let me start this post with a hearty “YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!” shout out. Another week with 5.1 points per person (and that is even with one missing report). That is fantastic; plus we had a phenomenal week for weight loss (and I realize part of that is due to a couple weeks of weight loss being reported in one week). As a group we appear to be on track to blowing away the best results achieved in this competition in the last year plus. At this time (Friday night 3/5/2010) we have 3 weeks left; so let’s keep up the good work and see if we can take the “Gold Medal Spot” on the Weight Loss/Healthy Living Challenge Podium.

WEEK SEVEN RESULTS

Hello everybody. Week 7 results are in and we all did another great job. 5.1 Points per Person last week. That is exactly the same score we had in week 6 (I don’t think we have ever done that in the past; given that we were slightly down in pounds lost for the week I think that shows the great commitment you all are making to getting points through exercise). Keep up the good work.

WEEK SIX RESULTS

Week 6 is in the book and we have reached the half way point (technically it is Thursday night and almost the end of week 7 but I digress). We did a good job this past week and are in position to, with a strong second half, have the best performance to date of any contest. You will notice from past data that the second half trend is downward in terms of Points per Person per Week (shifting from scores in the 5 PpPpW to 4 and even 3 PpPpW). If we can maintain the commitment to working out I think we can set the new mark for overall competition performance.

I have included a half way point total for all competitors so you can see how the competition is stacking up.
