If I weighed 212 lbs on November 1 then by May 3 I was 181.6 (So a loss of about 30 lbs) did it take me 6 or 7 months to lose the weight??

    Definitely 6. If that is May 3rd and not May 31st, then only 2 days "past" six months, so does NOT count as another month. :) November to the end of April is only 6 months, not 7. Looking good! Keep up the good work!

    Did I read it wrong maybe? I thought you said Nov. 1st as your start date. Here is how I figured:

    30 days in Nov
    31 days in Dec
    31 days in Jan
    28 days in Feb
    31 days in Mar
    30 days in Apr
    31 days in May

    Equals=212 days
    212 days divided by 6 (months) = 35.33 days in a month
    212 days divided by 7 (months) = 30.28 days in a month

    I would still say 7.

    Her end date isn't the end of May though, so the 31 days in May shouldn't be in the calculation.

    It took 212 days from Nov 1-May 31. I would say 7 months since May 31 is closer to June 1 than May 1. Sorry..it's the accountant in me. :blushing:

    I would agree, except its only the beginning of May, so the 31st isn't even a factor in this equation. So the answer is actually 6...

    Glad you don't do my accounts! :bigsmile:
