Personally... I think that would be the "most correct" way to do it, but don't have the time to deviate from the course set at launch.

You should do the percentage of weight lost since the last weigh in.eg I am 100 pounds in week 1, I am 95 in week 2... I lost 5%. You are 300 pounds in week 1, 285 in week 2, you lost 5%. We tie, even though you beat be in raw pounds by a factor of 3. .-= MLR´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MyLifeROI/~3/8-5HSJ0gbtM/" rel="nofollow">Getting the Car Ready for Vacation</a> =-.
