What *Percent* Of Excess Weight Have You Lost?

I'm not losing fast in pounds, however I don't think I'm doing bad percent wise. As of today, I've lost 80% of my excess weight starting from my highest weight OR 62% of my excess weight starting from my consult weight. You can figure percent: First take your starting weight and subtract your current weight. Then take your starting weight and subtract your goal weight. Take the first number and divide by the second number. Multiply that result by 100. Example: My highest weight 310 - my current 181 = 129 My highest weight 310 - my goal weight 150 = 160 129/160 = .80625 .80625 x 100 = 80.625 %

I figured up mine the other day and I am already at 80.7%. I will be 9 months out on Thursday. So I think that's pretty good considering the doc's goal is only 65-75%. I have 30 more pounds to go! amber 296/170/140 -126 pounds!

Hey, almost the same percents and pounds to go! You are doing so wonderful! For me, the goal weight might shift as I go, I just figure that 150 = a normal BMI for me. Thanks for answering!

I have lost 80.63% so far -- only 37 lbs to goal :D --joanna 325/177/140

Wow! Once again, almost twins with the percent! I think all of us might have a shot of hitting goal weight before our 1 year. Or at least you guys do~ I'm still losing at a snail's pace.

I figured my percentage and I have lost 83% so far. I have 23 lbs more to go. Hats off to all of you. You are doing wonderful! Tara surgery 4/18/05 289/173/150

You are doing wonderful!

Very interesting!!!! I have lost 75%. See you lighter. Joanne

Whoo hoo! Way to go! Everyone is about equal here percent wise. I've been watching the platau buster challenge with interest. I probably should have started with you guys but I've been doing my old gold standard of high protien/low carb/high fluid and that has worked well to undo the damage of three weeks worth of fudge and Christmas cookies. *sigh*

Hi Marra. wow you are really doing well. You have lost 129lbs?? that is fantastic, good on you!! How are you going these days? I am still stuck , of course, but am trying different things all the time to see if I can drop a bit more. My body sure is stubborn, though, like the rest of me. hugs from down under Helen
