    I've just realised I've lost 23.3%

    (And I'm now just over 75% of the person I was 9 months ago)

    You?

    I'm down 22%, aiming for 23%. 3 pounds to go! Though if I could gain 3 lbs of muscle and lose 3 pounds of fat, would prefer to stay at 22% :)

    Yes I hear that ..happy to put on weight in muscle

    Currently about 42% (which has me hovering just above the healthy BMI for my height)

    The goal I set when I started is at 50%, but I might go to 53%. It isn't set in stone yet.

    Crazy...I started at 205 about 15 years ago and I am down to 117. So percentage-wise, I would say I am down a whole person.

    I have lost 6.25%, aiming for 45% -50% goal. Very slow going,but mostly down to lack of consistency.

    About 19% since last July; I'm down about 29% from my highest weight. About 6-10 lbs. of fat to lose, then I hope to gain 10 lbs. of muscle. (That will take awhile.)

    I have lost 36% of my body weight. I've lost over 1/3 of my former self! Actually would like to hit the 50% mark, I think.

    I've lost 11% and my goal is 48%. I've got mixed feelings on this. My mind sees 11 as such a small number even though that 11 means 33lb, which is a good chunk of weight.

    I've lost 37.6% of my maximum weight. I have maintained this for over a year too. I am not gonna allow my self to get back even close to 200 ever again.

    Congrats on your success so far. Losing 10% of your body weight has already given you:
    • A healthier heart (lower cholesterol and BP)
    • Lower risk of Type 2 Diabetes
    • Lower risk of sleep apnea
    • More energy
    • Proof to yourself that you CAN do it.
