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 dive into the numbers!
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!
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!
Based on my new starting weight, I will declare that my ultimate goal is 11.6% loss. That is my realistic, long term number ta. On one hand it is a real reach, but on the other hand it is based on an honest reflection of how I have felt at different weights.
Hey Laura,
Agree with you.Honesty is must to achieve this ultimate goal.We all after setting a goal,forget to follow the strategy.I’m the perfect example of this one.Always eat whatever I want and then forget to burn the increased calorie.:(
Good luck in reaching your goal. I have no doubt you will be able to achieve it!
