May 8, 2009 - Week 17 of Starvation

The results are posted at this random website.

We're in the final stretch-- the last weigh-in is Friday the 15th, and the lunch buffet is on Wednesday the 20th. Please try to make the final weigh-in, as this has bearing on future diet contests.

Meal Urge Maniac still holds the lead, but the real race is amongst the next four BFLGs of Wry No Bran, Cher Jonc En, Sneezed Rims In, and Thy Error Bites, who are separted by 1.1 points in total.

There are 9 BFLGs with a weight loss of over 10 lbs., and 5 of them have lost more than 15 lbs. The most linear weight loss is by Thy Error Bites at -0.991. The worst is Darn Non Coed at -0.079. This is an important component in the contest. For example, to win with an R=-0.079, Darn Non Coed will have to lose about 65 lb by next week to win.

On the other hand, there are 4 BFLGs with positive weight gain over their initial weigh-in, including Rad Dawn Tater. Rad Dawn has gained 8 lb since the contest, and has reported to be much happier, too.

The big climber this week is Dark Tavern Huff who climbed 8 places by gaining 2 lb., followed by Lice Men Cry Jam at 4 places (by losing weight, in his case).

The Big ToWs (among those still actively participating) are: Bread Snorter, Chain Ad Lemming, and Rink Arm Fell.

There is a new chart for tracking position on the website called The Weekly Position Chart. There is a link at the bottom of the main page.
