TALLY: How much have you lost?
OK, being the nerd that I am (and for research too), I crunched the numbers left by my previous post and here are the results....
These figures were compiled from 30 responses by July-babies...
Average beginning weight: 293.33
Average goal weight: 146.28
Average total weight lost so far: 89.69
Average total weight desired to lose: 147.05
Average percentage weight loss: 61.0%
I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others....and we are all doing great. I have yet to see any published reports from any weight loss "fad" that can claim an average of 61% weight reduction in 6 months. But now you all have the ammo to tell people that "Yes, without a doubt, WLS works!!!!"
