This is so right on. I thought I was a slow loser then I went to my 6 week appointment and I am actually losing at ABOVE average. Ive lost 17% of my excess body weight!

Gamegirl I love that you can do the math with ease.....me, total math phobe!

Can you play the same game with excess weight to loose?

I'm early in my progress, starting my Kaiser Options classes next week, for 12 weeks, won't be able to schedule surgery until sometime in February. They require us to lose 10% of our current weight before surgery.

But I'm curious as to what my excess weight to loose is.....

CW: 244

Goal: 130

Well to lose 10% of your weight, you'd have to lose about 24 lbs. but when you reach your goal? You're going to be about half the woman you are now, so to speak. You will have lost 46% of your starting weight. How incredible is that? Nothing you own now will come close to fitting you then. You know that, right? Clotjes, underwear, belts, nighties, many of your shoes, none of it will fit. It will twe times too big. Get ready to shop like a mad woman

92%!! Woo hoo! Home stretch. So you're lowering your goal weight?

[Indigo1991 1,612]

Omg, thanks!!!!!!

Yup, planning to have boob job in the new year, which should take 3-4 lbs off. Felt I could go a bit further weightwise so after surgery that should leave me about 7-8lbs to go to my new goal. But am doing it one pound at a time... Dietician warned that I may get to a point where I look too scrawny but I wanted to get within the healthy BMI range...

Can't quite believe I am almost there - can't believe 92% !!!!! Thanks for this, think you have singlehanded given reassurance to us all. And you really are looking fab x

Tried to edit my last post to say "singlehandedly" but edit wouldn't work :-( Just being pedantic :-)

Following gamergirl's awesome lead on this topic, I created a webapp that does the calculations for you. Now you can check your own progress as you lose. Enjoy.
