Beth's "New" Antique Kitchen Stove

"New"Antique Stove

This is Beth's new stove. Well really it's an antique coal/wood cast iron stove that I converted with a functioning  gas cook-top. The complete inside was removed and replaced with a plywood "box" matching the dimensions of the old iron and steel carcass. The outside panels, doors and cast iron top were then attached to the box. The "oven" is now just storage as well at the space behind the two side doors.

Inside view

Mike and Johnny June Weigh In

Mike came in at 265.2 pounds, at loss of 9.43 pounds or 3.43%
Johnny cane in at 334 pounds with a loss of 12 pounds or 3.47%

Johnny only reports whole pounds, not decimals. If I were to use whole numbers I would be at 3.51%.

May Loser Winners

Beth and Dave are the biggest losers for May!  Congratulations to them, and hooray for all losers.  Better luck next month!  Please get your $10 to them within the week.

It's May weigh in day...

Let's see who the biggest loser is this month....

Add a comment to this post to submit your weight, running percentage (rounded to 2 decimal points) and any other smack talk you may want to add.
How to calculate running weight loss: (Initial Weight - Current Weight) / Initial Weight = Percentage.
 e.g. 288.2-275.0=13.2 lbs lost. 13.2/288.2=.0458 .0458*100 = 4.58%

Win or Lose?

Both! The Trojahn's are encouraging each other to be the biggest loser!

Here are the rules:

Weigh in is the 15th of each month.
Report percentages to 2 decimal points. (See "how do I do that?" section.)
Cost is $10 per month. Separate men and women categories.


How do I do that?
Jeff has offered to create a spreadsheet and email it to you. Enter your weight each month and it will calculate percentages for you. Report only percentages to my email dstrojahn@gmail.com. I'll post winners on this blog. 1st place in each category gets the cash! Email Jeff at jeffclines@gmail.com to get your spreadsheet.
