How? Percentage excess body fat loss?



Recommended Posts

Yes but you would need before and after body fat percentage (or in kilos) along with weight, otherwise it's just a guess.

There are some websites where you can enter weight and certain measurements and it gives an guessimate of body fat percentage...you could do for before and after, again not accurate but may be close enough for what you are after.

You'll also need to know the ideal % body fat - will depend on your age and sex. This is a good article on that (based on recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine). https://www.livestrong.com/article/426250-acsm-body-fat-guidelines/

this article talks about ways to calculate body fat %: https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-measure-body-fat

I have a scale that calculates body fat % (Fitbit Aria, but there are others).

You'd take (high body fat % - low body fat %)/(ideal body fat %)

And my scale says my body fat % is a little over 30, hope that is a good reading. Love love love seeing. BMI of 31, never thought I could get that low. Hippee Skipper for ME!

I saw once the most simplest way to calculate for woman is 100 pounds at 5 ft and then add 5 pounds for every inch. So at 5'4" my ideal body weight is 120. My weight day of surgery was 202 so I had 82 pounds of excess body weight.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
