Week 5

Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 8:22:45 PM GMT+1

We’ve made it through one-third of the diet contest. This is about the point it starts getting harder, when the “buffer” from all the water you drank at the initial weigh-in has ran out. If you are plateauing, you may want to consider eating less and exercising more.

Nervenarzt K. Sledge is still in the lead. He has the highest percentage of weight loss at 4.1%. In second place is Mr. Consistency, Cher Jonc En. His correlation is -0.996. Thy Error Bites has dropped to third place.

The correlation value is a measure of how linear you are in losing weight. The closer to -1.0 (or +1.0), the better. After Cher Jonc En is Fatty McButterpants (aka Zebra Ma Milkmen) at -0.990, and Thy Error Bites at -0.979.

This is also a direct multiplier to your score, so a low number like I Robe Jeep’s -0.207 will not be helpful.

Which leads us to the current BFLGs at the bottom of the list: Jolly Anode Ogre, Meal Urge Maniac, and I Robe Jeep.

Big Human Lap has climbed 8 places to 7th place, while I Robe Jeep dropped 8 places to whatever that position is called when no one is worse than you are.

Finally, the four BFLGs who gained weight from last week are: Jack Fry Revs Fee, Wolfram Want Hefty, Stop Think Research, and Odd Bat Mown. Let’s see if this trend continutes next week.
