Who has lost the most weight here? And How?

Have to agree about those who have kept it off. Hugely inspiring! Also take into account that although some have only lost 10-20 lbs, for some that is a HUGE amount. for example If you weigh 130 lbs and lose 20 lbs, you're actually losing 15% of you body weight, which is comparable to someone who starts at 300 lbs and loses 50. So you see, even the smaller losers are secretly big losers :laugh:

Right on, Kerri.

I think the % of weight lost would be more powerful than the actual numbers.

Tam, what % of your body weight did you lose?

Like for me, I've lost 45lbs. Started at 205lbs.
45/205= 21.9%

(You can check that math.... 0.219 x 205 = 44.895lbs)

Holy crap. I think I need to see that number. I lost over 1/5th of my own weight!! Wahoooo!!!!
Now if I can get off this last 10% (20lbs)....

I've lost 50%!! Started at 270 and lost 135 lbs to reach 135!! :laugh: :laugh: Holy moly!!!

It probably is interesting to new folks who's lost a certain amount of weight on MFP and especially if someone has a similar amount to drop...I can see how that would be an inspiration that it CAN be done...that's how I keep my inpsiration going by what I see others having done before me.:drinker:

BUT I think to me the most motivating of all would be those that have kept it off for a long period of time, no matter how many lbs. they lost,:bigsmile: maintaining to me feels like starting the whole process from the beginning, what I mean by that is, it's something all on it's own...the ultimate goal, TO KEEP IT OFF!!:flowerforyou: . THAT is a true LOSER in my book, as I'm looking to follow in their footsteps and be inspired by them:flowerforyou:

I totally agree Kerri....whether someone has 5lbs to lose or 40, 100 or 400 lbs. it's just as huge and can be just as tough for them working toward their goal. :ohwell: what is even more success is keeping it off!:drinker:
