Topic: Achievers

Cindy reminded us in another post that the average weight loss after wls is 60-70% (I think around that anyway - someone can correct me if I'm wrong). If we lose more than this we are considered over achievers. Well I calculated mine and it really cheered me up as I am classed as an over achieverat 80% I have been thinking of myself as a failure for not reaching my goal, but hey, in this instance I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong

So what %age of excess weight have you lost? Are you an over achiever?
