[CyberTOPS] Jerry A's 9/30 roll call

[Lori - cyberTOPS Owner]

Actually, I have reconsidered the rule again, upon contemplation.  I'm 
glad you wrote this and reminded me as I forgot that I hadn't posted 
anything about it.

Here's the history:
Originally, waaaaay back when I first started roll calls on cyberTOPS, I 
recognized whomever lost the most weight that week, no matter what.  Then 
realized that's not fair if they didn't weigh the week before as some were 
recognized for losing a large amount after being away for weeks and weeks 
... so ...

Then I said you had to have weighed the week before.  Then realized that 
it seemed that those who yo-yo (up 4 pounds one week, then down 3 the 
next) were the ones being recognized quite often, while those with 
consistent losses were not .... so ...

Then I said that you had to have a loss or turtle the week before, then 
this past week realized that that's not really fair either, so now the 
rule is ....

You must have weighed in the week before and if you had a gain last week, 
your loss this week must be the same or more than your gain was the 
previous week.

I think this still gives incentive after having a gain, but doesn't reward 
those who essentially have a net gain as you have to have removed your 
previous gain in order to be recognized.

Hope this helps!?
