For those who MUST compare....

I started at 440 and my weight should be around 140 for my height/build I am told (but I am only 5'3") . . . I was told my expected weight loss would take me to 185, which I would be happy with, but I did lower my goal because I want bounce back room. What happens from here remains to be seen.

If you look at 300 as my excess body weight, then I am a little shy of half of that at about 48%. I'm just past the halfway mark to my goal of 160.

No matter what, I am much better off even if it stops here. I hope it isn't done yet, but I am definitely more able to do things at 295 than I was at 440!
