Time for another fun update from the statisitical guru! 13 of us are checking in with a total weight loss over 100 pounds. The spread among those 13 is 57 pounds, with the lowest being 102 pounds lost and the highest being 159 pounds lost. 41 of us are in onederland! That's amazing! Here are our averages. We had Surgery on 9/17/05 weighing in at 296 pounds and currently weigh 212.8 pounds. Our BMI was 48.1 and our current BMI is 34.6. We hope to weigh 152.8 pounds with a BMI of 24.8. We have an average of 60 pounds to go, have lost an average of 9.2 milk jugs. Our total loss is an average of 83.2 witha weekly average of 3.2 pounds. We've lost 60.0% of our excess weight and 28.2% of our total weight. All together we weighed 26,345.7 pounds when we went under the knife. Today we weigh 18,942.2 pounds. That's a loss of 7,403.5 pounds. Wow. That's a couple of big trucks. We had our surgeries throughout the month of september. The earliest surgery was on 9/1 and the latest was on 9/30. We range in hieght from a sky scraping 6'4" (that would be me!) to a diminutive 4'10". Our heaviest member weighted 520 pounds at surgery. Our lightest member weighed 197 pounds at surgery. Our current heaviest member weighs 361 pounds. Our current lightest member weighs 132 pounds. Our highest surgery BMI was 73.9 while our lowest surgery BMI was 37.9 Our highest current BMI is 54.5 our current lowest BMI is 24.1 (which means at least one of us is no longer overweight.) One of us has 161 pounds to go to goal, for the farthest out. One of us is only 9 pounds from goal! We are really doing great. I applaud us all!
