How close are YOU?

Deb what a great way of looking at it...it does sound soo much better...I started at 285 and want to lose 100 pounds...lower if I can...but for now...100 is fine...so I have lost 60% of my weight...., ... , another 40 pounds and I am at goal...please above....I understand it take between 12-18 months to get to goal...the less you have to lose...the slower it will be...so we are all doing great , and lets not worry about the numbers...but like Deb says how good we are feeling...I can climb a mountains now... Dennis 285/225/185...lower if I can...but will take the 100 pounds...so that is 60percent gone forever......

I have 44 lbs. to go and I wanted to lose a total of 121 so I have lost 63%. Marcia 251/174/130

I definitely have felt like I have been a slow loser compared to all my local friends who had surgery when I did. I started this thing out at 262, I am now 188 (lost 74 pounds), and my doctor wants me at 160 (although I think 140 is a better goal). So to my doctor's goal I am 73% there, and then for my goal, I am 61% of the way there. Looking at the numbers this way definitely does make me feel better! Neici

I've lost 100lbs which leaves me with 108 to get to goal. It also totals 26.4% of my total body weight lost and 48% of my excess weight. I need figures like that to keep me from getting discouraged during these long stalls. Carol

Hi Deb, Thanks for doing this. Sorry I'm a little late. But I would ideally like to lose 209 pounds. I've lost 86 thus far so I've lost 41% of my excess weight. I feel that's a little on the low side, but I've never lost this much weight in my life and I'm three pounds away from the two hundreds! Yea!!! I'm also 5'9". Everyone is doing so great! 389/303/180

I started at 396, want to lose 231 and have lost 108 so far. That works out to 46.75%. Only 7.5 more pounds to go and I'm halfway there Kellie 396/288/165

I weighed 245 the day of surgery. I weigh 175 now. My goal is 125 (I'm 5'3) So that is 120 in excess weight. I still need to lose 50lbs. I have lost 70 lbs. (phew this is a lot of math 70/120 = 58% Wow that really is good isn't it?

Thats great!! Wee October peeps are doing amazing. Deb
