    Lost 5 % out of a goal of 13 %.
    It makes it sound so little.

    I'm so impressed by all of you.

    About 35% down from where I was three years ago, aiming for another 6-7% decrease and then I'm done.

    Have lost 22% so far. When I reach goal it will be 33% - so a third of myself will have vanished. Amazing, really.

    I am at a total of 8% lost. That's 17 pounds. When I'm at my goal I'll have lost 18% of my body weight. I think my ultimate goal will be around 25%

    I'm down 38% ....I am aiming for 50%. So that just means it's time for me to work harder.

    I've lost 28.7% of my starting weight,
    and I am 71.3% of the person I used to be.

    When I get to my initial goal, I will have lost 40% of my starting weight,
    and I will be 60% of the person I used to be.

    Once I get there, I might want to drop another 10-15 lb, but I'll see how I feel once I hit my initial goal, which is 10 lb under the top end of a healthy BMI range. (So I didn't just pull it out of thin air; there's some rational basis for the number.)

    You're more than 1/3 of the way there!

    Look at it this way... you noticed the problem & decided to do something about it sooner than those of us who are losing (or need to lose) more pounds & a higher % of our starting weight.

    Wish I'd gotten smart sooner. Like maybe 75 lb sooner, so I'd only have 35 to lose instead of 110.
