One method to increase motivation to lose weight is to make a bet with someone else. The scenario in this recipe will track weight loss from two individuals over the course of a four-month period and determine a winner.
Transforming through a weight loss bet
Getting ready
In this recipe, we use simulated data from two individuals to track the percentage of weight loss over the course of four months. At the end of each month, a winner will be declared based on the individual who lost the highest percentage of body weight for that month. To track weight loss, we group our data by month and person, then call the transform method to find the percentage weight loss at each week from the start of the month.
