So in a way to try and boost my motivation today I thought I'd work out how much percentage of my body weight I'd lost so far. I figured it would be pretty small but I was surprised to find I'd lost 12.29%! That's such a lot more than I expected and is a great way to boost my determination.

So tell me, what's your %??

    From my heaviest this time last year I've lost 30%.

    But I don't count that, as I then lost a significant bit of weight due to illness. Since I've been trying to lose weight (since last Christmas), I've lost 24% :) Long way to go yet though!

    It's a great way to look at things I think. I am constantly obsessed with the numbers on my scales and little did I know i'd lost 12% of the old me! Fab!

    Congrats on 35% that's amazing!

    I'm at 33% so that is a third of my fat gone! :bigsmile:

    My BMI was 41% it is now 36% according to MFP.

    According to the BMI Calculator my goal weight of 185 pounds I'd be at a 25% BMI, 20 years ago, I was 185 pounds and I had a BMI of about 15% so I guess I have some muscle to build :happy:

    As of today, 26.53%; BMI went from 42 to 30.9. In about another 6 lbs. I will only be "overweight" instead of the other "o" word. When I reach 100 lbs. lost, I will be in the 'healthy' range of BMI, as shown on MFP

    I've lost 11.17% of my body weight. In the end I want to lose 63.64% of my body weight. I still have a long way to go... But then again, I never expected that it would be fast or easy to lose 245 lbs. lol

    I still have 52.47% to lose which is 202 more pounds. Dang. That's a bit depressing when I look at it that way. lol Well not really. I'll get there! :D

    One foot in front of the other - step by step I'm getting there. I've lost 43 pounds - that means I just need to do that again about 4 and a half more times.
