Where do you count your weight loss from?

I start from my highest weight, which was basically the weight I was when I started my pre op diet, because that's when I resally started this new lifestyle.

I have always done my total weight loss and then my weight loss from my initial consultation. I lost over 30 pounds from my highest to the day of surgery, so you're darn tootin' I count it all!

From the weight when I started my preop diet.  I had lost weight from my highest during the six month medically supervised diet.   If I factor that into the equation,  I'm down 111 lbs total.

I used the day that I went to my first consult for the official start.  I put the + sign on my ticker because that reflects the additional pounds to my highest weight. 

I think we deserve credit for every pound, don't you? I started with my initial consultation in June 2013, where I weighed 322 pounds. My high weight was 325. I usually use one of those weights as my starting weight. At that point I met with the NUT who set me up with a healthy eating plan and the exercise physiologist who set me up with an exercise plan, which helped me get down to 282 by surgery in December. I recently started using an Android app, Monitor Your Weight, and I made two separate profiles to keep track of my total weight loss and my post-op weight loss. I do want to know how I'm doing since surgery, but I feel like the pre-op loss should count, too. To me, it's all a result of the weight loss surgery process. 

I count from my highest weight..I started at 265 and had to lose 10% of my weight before I would qualify for surgery.  I followed a souped of version of the post-surgery diet for 8 months and lost 40lbs....I better get credit for that!

I count my surgery weight.  My highest was about 20 lbs higher but that was about 6 years ago.  My last regain did not take me all the way back to that point. 

I start from my highest.

I went with my weight at my first surgeon's visit. I had probably weighed ~20lbs more at one point, but my scale didn't go up that high, so the surgeon's visit was my most accurate high weight.

I have a few monumental incidents that happened before I saw my surgeon.I had surgery two years ago and I am down a 100 pounds from that.I use that one in my head.

I use the weight from when I started my weight loss journey when I met my surgeon. I use this as my start weight.I only lost like ten pounds from the time I met my surgeon.
