May I make a suggestion? Instead of the total lbs. lost, maybe it could be the largest percent of weight loss. That way it's fair for everyone. I read where someone only has 10 lbs to lose and is starting out this month, while others, me included, have been losing weight for awhile. You usually lose more in the beginning of a weight loss program than after you've been in it for awhile. We did this at work once and it worked out well for all. I'd be glad to do the percentages at the end of the month. What do you think?
