Welcome to Cycle 3 of the Rampton Round-Down!
Okay family - Are you ready to start again? Have you eaten yourself into a dither? Tired of fun, celebrating, and eating anything at will? Finished with pulling out the size "biggos" from back in the closet? Let's get going again.
Why don't we start this coming Friday, the 1st. (we thought Friday postings would be better so that if we have heavy eating to do on the weekends, it won't blow our week's weight loss as much.) Our end goal will be the family reunion. First, you need to set a goal for your weight loss and post it with your intention to participate -
Remember, you never need to reveal your weight at any point as we only ask for percentage of weight lost. Even if you only want to lose 5 pounds, please join us - it makes it more fun and motivating for all of us. **If you haven't gone on to post on the blog before, let Alicia know so that she can make it work for you.

We are being very tough this time around. There is a $10 fee to participate this cycle and you must post by the end of the first week or you will be kicked off the challenge and forfeit your participation fee.
Let the Challenge Begin!!

How do we find percentage of weight lost?????????
Who's the family mathematician - it certainly isn't me - I only do 2nd grade math and we don't do percentages. Okay, so this is the way (I think) you figure out percentage of weight loss. Take your current weight, divide it by your starting weight at the beginning of the week. That will give you a .985 or something like that, depending on your weight lost. Move the decimal point over 2 places to make 98.5. Then take that number away from 100 and that will give you your percentage of weight loss. For example, let's say I weighed 200 pounds at the beginning of the week and I weighed 195 at the end of the week - a loss of 5 pounds. I divide 195 by 200 which gives me .975. Move the decimal over 2 places so that you have 97.5. Now subtract that number from 100 (100%). That answer is 2.5% which is the percentage of weight lost. (If anyone can figure how to do it more easily, please let us all know!)
