Couples weight loss challenge and family challenge
For two people, losing weight becomes a duel, for a family it becomes a season with weekly winners. To keep it fair when one starts at 210 lb and the other at 150 lb, the percentage change counts.
The duel for two
As a couple you see each other every day, including every small step forward. A challenge turns that into a game: who is ahead this week, who takes the weekly win, who has the longer streak? With Lossboard, two or three people play for free.
Why percentages matter so much for couples
Whoever starts heavier often loses more pounds early on. In a pounds contest it would be over after two weeks. By percentage it is a real duel:
| Start | Today | Pounds | Percent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tom | 210 lb | 201.6 lb | 8.4 lb | 4.0% |
| Sara | 150 lb | 143.6 lb | 6.4 lb | 4.3% |
By pounds Tom would lead, by percentage Sara is just ahead. That is how it should be. Check your own numbers with the percentage calculator.
Family challenge
Siblings, parents, cousins: a family challenge brings the family chat to life. All adults 18 and over can join. From five people, teams are worth it, for example by family branch, with the average percentage as the team score.
Ideas for couples
- Whoever is ahead picks the next Sunday outing.
- Whoever wins the week gets the final say on evening plans.
- Try something new together at the end: climbing, a dance class, a long bike ride.
- Keep a joint streak: you both weigh in every weigh-in day, or the streak is gone.
