Weight Loss Percentage Help and 3 NSV Squeezed in lol!!!

 So I tried to figure it out on my ow I'm usully smart enough to figure it out but I'm all confused.  Can someone tell me what percentage I have lost.  From what it said I had lost like 39%  but that doesn't seem right to me considering that I've lost almost 145 pounds with about 65 pounds to go so how could it be 39% lost when I've lost twice as much as I have left.  Someone please help, my brain not working lol  Oh as far as the NSV first one was when I was working the other day I blew a tire and had to be towed to shop to get new tires.  Well the tow truck driver that towed me months back towed me again and kept going on about how gorgeous I was and how amazing I looked and whatever I was doing I was doing it right, so ya that felt real good.  Second while I was waiting for the new tires I had my legs crossed, I couldn't tell ya the last time I did that lol. 3rd I get up and down on the floor to mess with my CHins.  It was almost impossible to imagine trying to get down on the floor at 365 now I get up and down no problem.  More NSV to come as summer approaches, will be hitting the coasters at KD this year, something I haven't done in many years and yes there will be photos lol  Thanks, Kerry

 To calculate your % of EWL lost

Highest weight - your goal weight = total lbs to lose (in your case, it appears to be 210 lbs)

Total lost / total lbs to lose = % EWL

In your case - 145/210 = 69% EWL  - sounds a lot better huh!?


Not sure if that's the most eloquent way to explain it, but works for me. 

Congrats on the NSVs!

 Thank you I knew I could count on someone smarter than me to let me know.  Kerry

 Someone on here once posted a nice little Excel Spreadsheet that did all the work for me.  If you want a copy let me know.

Thanks to the other poster who told you your true excess weight loss! I am going to use that formula when I'm about 8 months out from surgery too to see how much longer I have until goal. You have done AMAZING! I bet you will hit goal because you've done so well!
