IM’s biggest loser goes on…

On April 15, 2010, the Internal Medicine’s Biggest Loser has started off with 9 contestants committing to lose the most weight in the game.   Now on its second week, we look at the interesting profiles.

Contestant A - has gained some weight from the first weigh in.  Hmn… looks like we have a complacent contestant here, having gotten the second place in the first week.  Expect this contestant to have a significant run in the 3rd week having been reminded of how tough the competition is.

Contestant F has been most improved from being a last placer in the first week, he jumps to four times more than his weight loss on the first week to land a good fourth in the game.  Let’s see if this is enough encouragement for him to have a little bit more consistency in the game.

Contestant C and G look consistent.  I would surmise the strategies of these folks are real lifestyle changes.  I predict these are the real contenders in this game. The same consistency goes in for Contestant E… but he apparently lacks the intensity to make it in the game.  Let’s see if he can speed up his losses and catch up.

Contestants B, D, and H are plateauing. Expect one or two of them to have marginal weight loss in the coming week or even a weight gain.  They might be examples of crash dieters without corresponding psychological preparedness to push on with their crash diets.

From this trend, looks like C, F, G and I are the ones who have a lot to lose… but wait… maybe not C. Mwahahaha.

We invite you all to support the I.M.’s Biggest Loser by voting for the contestants for the benefit of Sagip Buhay Medical Foundation.

1. Anyone (including the contestants) can vote for any number of contestants in IMBL starting on March 30, 2010 7 am.
2. Each vote costs 10 pesos. Anyone can sell stubs for the votes.
3. All proceeds will go to the Sagip Buhay Medical Foundation
4. Each contestant will be awarded an additional equivalent percentage weight loss depending on the percentage of votes he/she gets to be computed as follows:
Number of votes of contestant/Total number of votes divided by 2.
Example: A contestant gets 500 votes and the total number of votes is 1000. His baseline weight loss is 3.0%. He will be awarded 0.25 (500/1000 divided by 2) in percent weight loss making his total weight loss 3.25%
5. Stubs for voting are distributed by Lorraine and JD. Anyone can get stubs to be marketed for votes but must put money down in doing so. All stubs are refundable at the end of the game.
