Well this is how I figure it. I started at 320 and wanted to get to 140, which is a loss of 180lbs. That would be what my doc said is my ideal weight. So far I have lost 101 lbs. So to figure out what perentage of my excess weight (180lbs) I have lost, I divide my total weight loss (101 lbs) by my excess weight (180 lbs). That equals 56.11%. So if you have lost 69 lbs and say you want to be 160lbs... your excess was 144 lbs. Divide 69 by 144 and you get......47.92% of your excess body weight has been lost!! Congrats :)
