Current Rank: 3rd Place
Pounds Behind 1st: 9.0 lbs
Current Weight (With Clothes, At Work): 244.1
Final Weigh In: Monday, April 28
I lost 2.8 lbs last week, which brings my total weight loss for the contest to 50.3. I felt like I could have done better last week, but being ill kept me out of the gym for most of the week. This week I’m feeling about 90-95%, so I should be able to give it my all to try and finish this contest well.
For several weeks we have had the same leader. We’ll call him T. I’ve been fighting as hard as I can to catch up to him, and I’m now within 2 lbs. The problem is, we have someone that has passed both of us–we’ll call him E. After losing 7 lbs last week, E was about to drop another 10 lbs last week. So, what does this mean?
The bad news – I am 9.0 lbs behind 1st place.
The good news – I am pretty much guaranteed a top 3 finish in this contest of 27 people.
So, what will it take to win? I’m going to try as hard as I can, but here is what I am looking at:
If E loses 1 lb this week, I would have to lose 9.94 lbs. Of course, he has been losing between 7-10 per week recently, so that’s probably not going to happen. If he loses 5 lbs, I have to lose 13.89. If he loses 8 lbs, I have to lose 16.86 lbs. And, if he pulls out another 10 lb week, I would have to lose 18.33 lbs.
So, is it doable? My best week so far has been 12 lbs. I think it’s going to take a minor miracle to even do that again. However, I am looking into the possibility of doing some cleansers or other things to try and eliminate as much junk from my body as possible going into the final weigh in. Depending on how the week goes, I may be fasting this weekend as well.
So, here it goes. The final week. Pray for me, I need it…
