Don't compare pounds to pounds
I thank God for OH becasue very early on I read someone's blog entry about a way to compare weight loss especially when people are starting from different points and have such huge differences in goals. It used to frustrate me and make me squeal with jealousy to see people reach goal in less than 6 months, but I had to stop all that negative thinking. Here's the formula:
% of excess weight loss = # of lbs of weight actually lost
________________________ (divided by)
# of lbs of weight you are expected to lose ( ultimate goal) your excess weight
Ex. 165 lost
________ = 59% of excess weight loss
279 expected loss
% of excess weight loss = # of lbs of weight actually lost
________________________ (divided by)
# of lbs of weight you are expected to lose ( ultimate goal) your excess weight
Ex. 165 lost
________ = 59% of excess weight loss
279 expected loss
