Percentage of weight lost

Feb 16, 2009

I haven't checked this in a while and that's a good thing because I was pleasantly suprised.

According to my goal of 148, I have lost 61.4% of my excess weight.
If you look at Dr. Lord's ridiculous goal of 135, I've lost 58% of my excess weight. 

The average weight loss surgery patient is lucky if they get to 70% of their excess weight lost and maintain that loss.  While I will not be happy with that number (which is somewhere around 205-210), I know that there is some heavy, chunky, nasty, cottage cheese looking skin hanging on to this body of mine.  A weight number is just a number isn't it?
