Data Loss Q & A: Biggest Loser Challenges
 

Ok, first off I want to say how horrible it is that we lost so many posts. Please be aware that the crash did effect your weigh ins for weeks 4 & 5 so you'll need to get with your team leaders so you can fill the proper weight back in.

Julie & Melissa - if you could post your Week 4 & 5 results again so we can have a running log in the results thread that would be great.

Badge Log

I was having a conversation with Melissa about this while the forum was down, although my convo was much different than most of you alls concerns.

Being that the badge log has been mutilated to say the least, I'm going to be collaborating with the other leaders through out the weekend / next week as to what we can do.

I'm going to be honest. Taking on everyone's numbers was a big responsibility for me and while looking at numbers and copy pasting over and over may not seem like much, its tedious. I don't want to pass the buck off to the other team leaders, because they have lives and less time than I probably do. I trust you all to be honest, but in reality, a prize that could ultimately change "the game" needs to be regulated.

So in the next few days we will be coming up with something.

I saw that someone had already restarted the beach hopping thread (even though I haven't opened it.) Please continue to work on exercising for the mileage this week (its 452 I believe).

Thats all I can think of at this hour. Please feel free to ask questions concerning the data wipe here. ;)

I think you and the other team leaders should do what makes it easiest for you all, period. :)

Well...I can repost week 5 results but week 4 is gone with the changes that were made on week 5 (because of deleting people off my team list for not weighing in) So the totals are all off, but I know it was a black team win, and Week 5 was blue team. I say lets just go from here and move forward, whats done is done. I went through and edited Red teams weigh in to reflect all the weights. We are good to go!

I wrote down the percentages lost. I know, I'm a geek!

Week 4 team losses:

Black team: -0.38%
Red team: -0.32%
Blue team: -0.31%


Week 5 team losses:

Blue team: -0.37%
Black team: -0.29%
Red team: -0.13%

oh see...there we go! Thanks Beth!

Didn't Julz say she was going out of town to a photo shoot and would be back on Tuesday?

Yes, going to Chicago and she'll be having some *private* time with her DH for the first time in a LONG time!!! ;)

Oh la la, I hope she's having her some fun. ;)

hey it happens
 

Whatever is equitable to all teams works for me - including starting over -
this has been quite fun for me to be part of and the tech breakdown did not diminish anything

I'm sorry--forgive me if this has been established already, but I've been away on business and haven't been back to read/post until today--what a shock to find the last 2 weeks have disappeared! Thank goodness the rest of the past 10 YEARS is still with us!

I'm not so worried about the badge log or the exercise minutes, but are we to go in and update our own weekly weigh ins? I remember my weight for the most recent week, but the other 2 I'm not completely sure of - can I just ballpark it? They were both between my most recent weigh in and the last one saved, so the total/average will be the same in the end.

Jill (and other Bluesers)- If you go here you can find your weight for those missing weeks. Thankfully that was on Google and we didn't lose it. I think most of us updated our own. I know I did.

Ok. So I had a chance to talk to Melissa this weekend and we have come to the decision that we are doing away with the badge log completely.

Originally I was going to continue the beach hopping threads and just do away with the log, but both the black and red teams have other exercise challenges set up so we are just going to let the teams handle their exercise goals individually.

That really makes the most sense.

wow - i was gone since 6/6 and just found out about the server crash. what a bummer!!

i'm with jillybean - what are we to do about the weigh-ins that are missing? i'm not sure i remember exactly what my weight was for each week?

do we just attempt to back fill the info??

your team leader should have that info...just give her a PM!
