MTW1961 4029 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 10-25-04, 07:11 PM (EST) "Weight Loss By Percentage" I think it would be more interesting if they could give consideration to each contestant's weight loss as a percentage of total body wieght instead of just raw pounds. One way would be to give immunity to the person on the losing team with the highest percentage weight loss that week. This would even the playing field for the smaller people. Below shows each player's weight loss as a percentage of their starting weight. Note that Andrea, not Dana, actually had the lowest percent weight loss from the losing blue team. Should SHE have been the one sent packing? Name Orig. Wgt Lbs. Lost % Loss Aaron 261 20 7.66% Matt 310 22 7.10% Kelly M. 242 15 6.20% Kelly Mac. 223 13 5.83% Ryan 330 19 5.76% Gary 227 12 5.29% Lisa 236 10 4.24% David 250 10 4.00% Maurice 436 13 2.98% Dana 175 5 2.86% Andrea 215 6 2.79% Lizzeth 167 3 1.80% What do you think? I will try to update this table as the show progresses. Handcrafted by RollDdice!   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I'm just kidding!! That table is totally something I would do and it is a really good idea! Why aren't the shows "creators" as creative and logical as you are? It would probably just be too much for their little brains to figure out. Anyway, thanks for the comparison! I look forward to seeing the results for the upcoming shows! *smooch* One word: GOTHMOG! Wow, Maurice really did let his team down, didn't he??   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

pmspml5 3192 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 10-26-04, 09:37 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" I wish they would have given them 1 point per inch they lost. I started to working out and found that for the first 3-6 weeks I lost very little weight (10 lbs) but went down 2 sizes. It would make things a little more even for those that are not as big as the others.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" I agree this "pure pounds lost" idea seems kinda unfair -- naturally the biggest you are, the more you have to lose, and therfore theorically have an advantage   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

hunterjax 94 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 10-26-04, 06:04 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" I totally agree. I still don't believe they can make it all the way through the season without changing the method of weight loss calculations. The playing field is already so out of balance since one team has one less player now. Anyway, I think it's very interesting that Maurice only lost .12% more of his original weight than Dana did. I can't understand why he didn't lose a lot more. We only saw him cheating on the diet once at the breakfast. A guy that that big should have lost way more during the first week of a dramatic shift in diet and exercise. On Jillian's diet he must be eating a quarter of the amount of calories he was eating before the show. Baffling! Thanks for the calcs.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ladro 1168 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-07-04, 11:04 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" agreed that the 'total pounds' competetion is totally unfair. Only 3 or 4 of the largest guys have a chance to win. But then the "competition" is really secondary, the show is really about putting a bunch of emotional freaks into an extremely streessful situation in order to get broadcast worthy reactions.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" I think they should have done it by BMI instead of percentage. If it had been done that way this is how it would have been: Name Start Finish Difference Ryan 43.5 34.6 8.9 Kelly 41.5 33.8 7.7 Maurice 59.1 52.8 6.3 Lisa 37 30.7 6.3 Gary 32.6 26.7 5.9 Andrea 33.7 27.9 5.8 I think that this way would have been more fair.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

enixela 18 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 12-22-04, 04:01 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" wouldn't it make sense at this point to look at the amount of body fat they've lost? i noticed in the recap episode last night that they had been weighed in the tank, which i though was to measure body fat. considering that muscle weighs more than fat, and some of the contestents are putting on some serious muscle, they should be rewarded in the weigh-in. i wonder if the producers are considering doing this, since they showed that pool weigh-in? those before and after photos were inspirational! i don't even know these people and i'm so proud of them!!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dramamama 263 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 12-22-04, 05:54 PM (EST) 14. "recap episode last night" was a major bore. What is with the reality shows taking the p*ss out of everything with their frikkin cheesey recaps and finales. I agree that the pictures were great, but I would have rather seen the show. I missed the first few minutes, so maybe they had some good reason for boring us to tears with those smarmy clips and "insider" shots. good god. Anyway, I digress: I meant to say that I think it's a good idea to switch to body fat. Muscle does weigh more, and that should count for something.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Bossettes Baggee 19 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 06-28-05, 10:38 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" I basically agree with what you've said, and I particularly like that you took the time to compile the tables. On the other hand, I think that the (network executives ?) changing the rules in the middle of the "game" took away a LOT of entertainment value for me. Instead of one complete and finished show, it feels like I've viewed a third of two separate shows, and not finished watching anything. (ie: Where's the real closure ?.....) But to get back to your point, I've got to ask how come the show was not strictly focused only on establishing who lost the highest percentage of original body FAT ? It would be more fair, and less (circus-y ?). (Personally, I thought the biggest loser just might be the (moderator ?)...) In the "long run", the biggest winner could just be the one who lost only a little weight during the show, but permanently changed their (behavior/habits/self-image), and continued to regularly lose additional (weight/fat/inches), while the (tv-types) just continue to get fatter and fatter (attitudes ?)....   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ob2il 1 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-29-05, 03:58 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" weight loss by percentage is good - but i think it should be a percentage of weight "to be lost to attain ideal weight". If it is only percentage of total body weight, someone who originally weighed 400 lbs can lose 50% of body weight and still have more to lose, whereas someone who originally weighed 200 lbs, if he/she lost 50% of total body weight, would only weight 100 lbs and be seriously underweight. Any thoughts on this? Also, i think i read somewhere that women biologically have a higher bmi and i wonder if it isn't unfair to use that when teting men against women.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Lasann 3616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 11-02-05, 08:57 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Weight Loss By Percentage" That's a good idea. I wonder from week to week how the smaller people are going to be able to keep up with the numbers of the larger. And women do have more body fat, genetically. It's there to protect the fetus in the event of lack of food for awhile. This is the best time of the year!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
