You look fabulose. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. I have to say I cant relate. After one year and 147lbs, I am still not where you were when you started your journey. I have only lost 71%. It is a little tough for those of us who are (or were) Super Morbidly Obese to feel successful when we have so much to lose. Im not complaining even though it sounds like I am, I just wish I could be closer to normal after all this hard work.
Anyway, congrats and keep up the good work!

OK, here goes.....
Beginning weight? 295
Current weight? 167
Total weight loss to date? 128
Total weight to lose? 140
Total percentage lost? 92 percent
I have set my goal at 155, which is what this is based on. That would give me a normal BMI (For once in my life!)
My doctor's goal is 160. Based on his goal, I'm at 95 percent of goal.
You might also add differences in BMI, which can be astonishing.
I started out at a BMI of 46.2
Today, my BMI is 26.2
I have a feeling, I'm REALLY going to have to work to get off these last 12 pounds.

Topic: Weight loss check in
Everyone,
I have made the decision to work toward my doctors original weight loss goal (170) by the end of year two instead of my wishful goal (145).
So that being the case I am 82% to my first goal. If all goes well and I decide I want to go further I will go for the second goal. But anyway that made me start thinking that it was time to check in with every one to see where they are percentage wise. I know that some are at or below goal and I think that is great but there are some of us with a ways to go.
So...
What was your beginning weight? 311
Current weight? 195
Total weight loss to date? (starting weight minus current weight) 116
Total weight to loose? (starting weight nimus goal weight) 141
Total percentage lost? (Weight lost divided by weight to loose) 82%
This is one of my favorite posts. So have fun.
K.
