***The competition will be based on the percent of body weight loss. The calculation is to take your actual weight and subtract it from your initial weight. Then divide that number by your initial (starting) weight. Take that number and multiply it by 100 and you get your weight loss percentage.
((IW-AW)/IW) * 100= weight loss percentage
So if I start at 170, and I lose 7 lbs in a month and end up at 163.
That’s 170-163 (7lbs),
Take 7lbs. and divide it by my starting weight (170). 7/170=0.041176
Multiply that by 100 and you get 4.12%
