Question:
What percent of my weight have I lost?

O.K...maybe I'm slow but I just can't seem to figure out what percent of weight I have lost! I started at 362 and am now at 181. Is that about 80 percent? Thanks... Deb    — Deb H. (posted on September 23, 2002)

Need more info if you're wanting to know you are towards goal. Take the amount that you've actually lost divided by the amount that you want to lose. You'll get a decimal number, move the decimal twice to the right and that's your percentage. For example: I want to lose 260. I've lost 63 (7 weeks today). 63/260 = .242 = 24.2% of my way toward goal! Hope that helps!

Ok, take 362 x .5 = 181, which is what you weigh now. You've lost 50% of your Initial Body Weight. (You didn't mention what your goal weight is.)
