edited September 23 in Health and Weight Loss
Okay, so I'm always trying to find ways that make me feel even more encouraged about my weight loss, and the impending biggest loser challenge in my office got me thinking about my % of body weight lost.

So since I restarted MFP on 1/3/11:

...i've lost 5% of my total body weight! (calculate by taking = amount lost so far / start weight)

and i've lost ~ 15% of my goal weight loss!!! (calculate by taking = amount lost so far / total weight you need to lose)

What are your %'s???? I bet it will excite you to see!:happy:

    I've lost 14.5% of my starting total weight (184.6 lbs) and i have lost 52% of my goal weight loss (134 lbs or 50 lbs total lost)! Oh, I do like these numbers (I'm an engineer!)

    Wow - that's crazy!!! That's in less than 1 month!!

    I've been on here a long, long time, but this round of weight loss started for me in July (sometime between May and June was my highest, but I started pushing it in July)....

    Since starting in July 2010: My % of body weight lost is 18% and my % to goal is 44.5%.
    In 2011, I've lost 2.3% of body weight and my % to goal is 7.8%.

    P.S. I'm a business analyst - so I love this kind of stuff....

    I've lost 23% of my total body weight or 58lbs and you bet your booty I'm excited about it :)

    Not sure how much more I will lose but hoping for another 25lbs+ in 2011.

    I've lost 40.95% of my total body weight and have lost 99.15% of the weight I've set out to lose.

    I also have a stretch goal and I've lost 94.2% of the weight needed to meet that goal.

    I have lost 7.5% of body weight and 25% of goal. I have been keeping track of the goal %, but not total weight %. Maybe because is is the smallest number.

    5%! woop woop :D I didn't realize it was that much, how great!

    started at 167.4
    now at 158.8

    so 8.6/167.5 = .05137 = 5%! :D

    3 / 169 = 0.0177 yes, but to convert a decimal into a fraction you must multiply by 100 :) soooo your % lost is not .1%
    it's 1.7% :drinker: Keep at it!

    I've lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks, .1.3 or something a week.. It was lovely. It was easier than I thought.
