Lost 3lbs this week! Now 169lbs I think. Gave blood so that will have helped and have been a bit of a glutton since so we'll see what next week has in store.
Well done everyoneAnd thanks for taking over the chart Shrimpy!

Sorry for the late weigh-in! Totally forgot all about it yesterday as I had the day off and all thoughts of dieting went out of the window!
Weighed this morning and it's 166.4, so 1lb loss! Well done to the losers, and the the gainers, good luck for next week!

After much faffing with Photobucket, here (hopefully!) is this week's chart - huge congratulations to Hopelessly Hopeful who is this week's winner! :j
I have hidden anyone who didn't post a weight this week just to tidy the chart up but haven't deleted anyone. I'll post up the last two weeks as well, then will post a full list to date so if I have anything wrong you can let me know.
Likewise if anything is wrong this week let me know - but be gentle with me!I missed myself off the first time I tried this so if I have missed you please don't take it personally!
ETA - I had added a column showing total weight lost in lbs as I thought that would be interesting, but realised you could work out starting weights from that info and thought some people might not like that? Open to opinion on that one - could show total lbs instead of total % or just leave it alone!Barclaycard [STRIKE]£7,296.35[/STRIKE] £6134.99 - MBNA [STRIKE]£4,182.88[/STRIKE] £3267.08 - O/draft [STRIKE]£569.31[/STRIKE] £413.59 - Capital One [STRIKE]£1477.55[/STRIKE] £1451.44Total debt [STRIKE]£12048.54[/STRIKE] £11267.10 6% paid0 -
thanks for doing the chart shrimpy
I think % loss is fairer as there is quite a difference in how overweight (or in some cases not) people are so if done in lbs then it isn't a fair assessment as those of us who are larger will lose quicker

I completely agree - sorry, I didn't mean ranking the chart based on lbs, just wondered if anyone was interested to see their total lbs lost. I probably wasn't very clear! and probably should stop over-complicating things!
Also - huge congratulations to you for being our week 5 winner! :T

Quick pop in for a STS this week. Been hectic at home and at work so not much time to log on. Haven't been that good with the food due to 4 birthdays and 3 leaving lunches suppose the exercise evened it out.That voice in your head that says you can’t do this is a LIAR!

Thanks for the charts Shrimpy! I think it does look good with people not posting hidden, also love that it goes in order of percent loss!
