if you subtract your starting weight from your goal weight its a minus, is that right?

 

[Caren]

ive lost 45% of my body weight
but ive only lost 78% of my excess body weight, which is disappointing as i thought i only had 7lb left to lose

 

[Yvessa]

I have lost 55% of my excess and 38% of my body weight. But that's if I treat my excess from 10 stone. If I go for 15 stone then I have lost 75% of my excess

 

[Benrese]

Oh! Try that last calculation again- I agree you are much closer. And good going wow!!!!!!!!

I guess it is!

Am I being a bit thick? isn't this automatically calculated in the box at the side???

 

[SARAH S]

wow is this right.

I've lost 104lb and that equates to over 88% excess weight?!

Maybe it is, maybe it's not..... all I know is that I'm now smaller than I've been for years, fit "normal" clothes and can do and be ME !!!!

No you are not and yes it does

 

[Benrese]

Ah!!! I see what you mean... On our stats that are located on the left side of the page!! Well silly me. Typical I miss the obvious

[penelope1008]

41% of my body weight & 90% of my excess weight gone so far.
So only another 12lb to go to hit 100% excess weight loss which is what I'd thought I had left to lose.

 

[lyzzyanne]

Lol, that was one of the reasons I filled that bit in, but that said its useful to know the calculation!!!

Well done on your huge loss!!
