What *Percent* Of Excess Weight Have You Lost?

Hi Helen! Yeah, I've lost 129 pounds from my highest weight which was in 1999. I started Aitkin's (never heard of low carb before that) and lost 130 pounds over a two year period and then I maintained that over almost two years. THEN I got divorced and depress ate myself back up 65-75 pounds, battled that for a while and got approved for WLS. My consult for that was at 244 and since then I have lost 63 pounds. So I am basically back where I had gotten myself the first time. It's kind of funny but I've noticed that if I use the Weight Loss Planner on this site and punch in starting weight of 244~ I am really running sadly behind. However, if I punch in the starting weight of 310, I have been dead on target every month~ if I just pretend that I picked up at the end of month three which was where I *should* have reached 244. Maybe bodies remember and simply insist on losing in a set pattern? One of these days, your body is going to have to give up and let go of that weight! (That's what I keep telling mine. )

I've lost 92.38% of my excess weight. I was 255 pounds on 4/21/05, my surgery date. As of yesterday morning, I was 158; I weigh myself almost every day, but the # that counts is the Monday morning weight. I have 8 pounds to lose...

Wow! You are just along! You go!

Hi, I'm at 95.4% lost with 5 pounds to go. I started at 279 and now weigh 175. Goal is 170. (I'm 5'9"). Oooh hooo! Judy

Mine is 89.36%. I started out at 291, weight 165 (on my 9 month anniversary!) and my goal is 150. Only 15 more pounds to go. My surgeons goal weight was 180 so I have already passed what he wanted. Heather 4-11-05 291-165-150

Hello and congrats to all! I have lost 97 % of excess weight. My BMI is stuck at 25. Since I cannot make the last 3 lbs disappear from my thighs only...haha I am happy where I am. 97 % is still A+ right? haha just trying to look on the bright side. Seriously though if I do lose the last few lbs its gonna come right off my butt and boobs, so I would just as soon as keep em. Keep up the good work everyone!
