Maybe this is a dumb question, but can anyone tell me the formula to figure out the percentage of excess weight I have lost? At check-ups, the paper my doctor gives me always says "You have lost ___ % of your excess weight." Math has always given me a fit!

Thanks for the help! :)

If your start weight is 288 and your goal is 156 then your excess weight is 132 lbs.

1% = 1.32

10% = 13.2

20% = 26.4

30% = 39.6

40% = 52.8

50% = 66.0

60% = 79.2

70% = 92.4

80% = 105.6

90% = 118.8

100% = 132 Your done time for a celebration!!!!!!!!!

Take the number of pounds you have lost and divide that by the number of pounds you want to lose. Example.....I want to lose 120 pounds, I have lost 94. So divide 94 by 120 and I have lost 78% of the pounds I wanted to lose.

Good question.

I've never thought of doing this, but, I just did the math and I've lost 30% of my excess body weight. Wow, that sounds more impressive to me than 44 pounds lost.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
