A little update on our "losers" the weight loss group we have been doing....

Dave figured this all out this morning.... We have one week to go for the first Challenge of the year but this is pretty crazy!!

Since starting the January 2009 Challenge the Losers have worked to burn off 820,750 more calories than they took in to lose 234.5 pounds. SWEET!

Going in to the final week of the challenge Joey is holding the lead with a 15.47% weight loss of 37.2 pounds. The next 2 spots are still up for grabs with DanT, Tami and Jon all extremely tight. Who will take the top 3 spots and win the money? Place your bets!

I spent some time this morning and updated the Cumulative Spreadsheet. There is some absolulely astounding numbers to look at including:

Since January 2008 622.4 Total Pounds lost as of the most current weigh in on 3-25-09 by 44 people!-

Nancy has lost the largest % so far - 22.29%! AWESOME!- Challenge 4 seems to be the most successful overall of all the challenges to date - according to the number of people with high percentages of weight lost. GREAT WORK EVERYONE!

- 13 Losers have lost more than 10% of their body weight
- 7 have lost more than 15%
- 3 have lost more than 20%
- 5 Losers have been involved in every challenge since January 2008
- According to the fact that a pounds of weight loss = 3500 calories we have burned 2,178,400 more calories than we have taken in as a group. Holy moly Losers!

To put that into more understandable terms that is equal to:
- 1534 Chipotle Burritos loaded up at 1420 calories!
- 22930 Michelob Ultra 12 oz. bottles of beer!
- 4034 Big Max sandwiches from McDonalds!
- 14522 servings of Cool Ranch Doritos!
- 10373 slices of Dominos pepperoni pizza!

You get the idea. I can't say enough just how cool I think this is and I commend everyone on their efforts. Bring it!
