Does anyone know what the average person's percentage of weightloss is?

I've seen several different references on other sights. One says that,on average, people only lose 65% of their excess weight. Does anyone have an official answer from a professional? I started out at 280 at 5'7. Will it be likely that I will reach my goal weight of 147?
