You'd need to know what weight you would need to be to have a healthy BMI. I ran your height through a reverse BMI calculator and it says for BMI 25 you should be 159lbs, or 11st5.

So from your start weight 25st5 - 355
take away your target weight - 355 - 159 = 196lbs excess weight.

weight lost / excess weight x 100 = percentage lost so
103/196x100= 52.5%

So far you have lost 52.5% of your excess weight which for a band around the 1 year mark is spot on!

I am crap at percentages and stuff too lol,
Pretty Please can you work mine out for me shell. Thanks

Ok doke, your target weight is 141lbs for a BMI of 25, so your excess weight was 76lbs

103/76x100=135%!

Oh Janey, please don't be so hard on yourself, you have done AMAZING and should be very, very proud of what you have achieved in 8 little months. I wouldn't want anything I have said to make you feel bad, as I think you are a star!!! I guess I should have said that for me and many others, determination and following the rules allowed us to get to our goals and exceed the expectations given to us by our surgeons. That will be you too I reckon, you are well on your way to healthy and you obviously know what to do (12 stone down means you are doing it right!) so keep up the good work.
