Here at 2 Fat Nerds, each Wednesday is a Weigh-In day, where all of the data from the previous week is collected, displayed, and analyzed. Let’s see what data was submitted this week!
Weight Loss
Each week, members who have opted to have their weights publicly displayed for the world to see have them graphed on the main blog. It is a great way to keep track over time, and it gives a bit more accountability to your workouts. If you are interested, leave a comment!
Lots of empty holes on the close-up graph this week... get your data submitted!
A new graph for this week! People seemed to really like the percentage weight-loss style graphs, so here is the all-time weight-loss percentages by person. If you would like to be included, or removed from this graph, let me know! It takes the highest weight submitted to the system as the start point.
As always, if you would like to get in on the weight-loss game, leave a comment or email me and we can get you going!
Anti-Fat Points
Anti-fat points (AFP) is a system designed to give some sort of value to each and every workout, regardless of type. It is based on metabolic-equivalent values out of the compendium of physical activities. Submit a workout, get AFP. Each week we post the totals for each person for the week. In addition, you may see the monthly AFP leaderboard on the right-hand sidebar. This is meant to be a fun way to encourage competition to see who can earn the most points!
The threshold is back to 100 AFP, Green is over and Red is under. Try to get 100 AFP and turn your bar green!
The Chain-Game
The Chain Game is a fun little system we came up with to see how many consecutive weeks a person can complete a minimum of three days of workouts. Every week in a row that a person completes the three-day goal, he or she adds one link to his or her active chain. For more information see this post!
As always, if you were slow to get data in, your chain will be re-instated!
Map!
We add an additional 331 kilometers this week!
We’re in North East/Erie, PA! Woo! Shout out to my Benedictine nun ladies!
I love that percentage graph! Sorry I left this morning without weighing myself. For next week I promise a chain and measurement.
I like the graph. It is already motivating me to keep moving and counting.
Awesome! I think it is a cool way to look at overall change, and remove the focus on weekly fluctuations. Keep it up!
