What Percentage Of Your Excess Weight Did You Lose?

Ok I found this site and I think this could be correct although there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the correct calculation. Since its from a Bariatric Center for Excellence..I am going to ASSUME this is correct!

So by this site..I have lost 51% of my excess weight..and it will just keep on rolling!

My starting weight was 234. My goal weight was 135. So I had 99 pounds of excess body weight to lose to get to my goal. I think the question is what percent of the weight you needed to lose, have you lost? I have lost 102 pounds and now weigh 133 pounds. Thats 101% of my excess body weight. I lost it ALL 100%+. It is doable. They told me the stats were about 70% but I was determined to prove I could lose ALL the weight I wanted to lose with the help of the sleeve. I love my sleeve!

PS.. I dont think it matters what percent of your total body weight is lost. Everyone wants to lose all their excess or as close to 100 percent as they can get. If you calculate your total body weight loss that way, you will never get to 100%. You cant weigh zero pounds to that is a worthless statistic. What we all really want to know is how successful have you been at losing the weight you needed to lose, (your excess body weight). So if you are 100 pounds over weight, you need to lose 100 and if you have lost 75 so far, thats 75%. etc... I think that is what we are all interested in knowing. All you do is divide your pounds lost up to know by the total pounds you wanted to lose. HTH

I lost about 70% of my excess body weight.... i am right above the statistic my surgeon gave me (he says sleevers lose about 60-65%....)

That's great! Congratulations! I'm hoping to have that kind of success when I have my sleeve done next month

All simple how much have you lost divided by how much you need to loose
