Rate of Loss after DS? Excess Body Weight?
I use lab rat (http://www.epursimuove.com/ds) to track my weight loss and percentages. Below is my progression for the first 17 months.

Starting weight
Minus
Weight that is your "goal weight"
Equals
Amount of weight you need to lose
You take the:
amount of weight you have lost
divide it by
the amount of weight you need to lose
which equals
the percent of your total you have lost
So every time you calculate the amount you have lost, divided by the total you need to lose, the percentage will change.

I can tell you from my experience that I lost about 40% of my excess weight in about four months, and that I reached 100% EWL at 26 months.(Which I could also express as OH **** IT TOOK TWO WHOLE YEARS TO LOSE ALL MY WEIGHT OH HORRORS!!) I floated up about fifteen pounds, or a whopping 6% regain, at about 36-38 months out. I have just spent two weeks concentrating harder on protein, all from food, none from supplements (STEAK anyone?), and the fifteen pounds are all gone.
I LOVE MY DS.
