What percentage of your body weight have you lost so far?

I have lost just over 7.5% of my body weight so far. Sadly, this only equates to 18% of the weight I want to lose altogether, as i need to lose nearly 42% of my original body weight to get to my goal. However, I figure it's still a good step in the right direction! Grin

So, what % of your body weight have you lost, and how far have you got to go to reach your target?

I've lost just a shade under 10%. To get where I'd like to be I probably need to lose about another 10%. Although realistically, another 5% would have me just within the healthy range for my height.

I'm aiming for October. I reckon slow & steady is my only hope!

Wow - October sounds really close to me, don't think I'll hit my target till middle of next year! Well done you!

So far I've lost 32.4% of my bodyweight. I'm trying for 45.7% to get in to the "healthy BMI" range, then I'll adjust it again.

Not sure when I'm aiming to do this by...I'm a bit reinvigorated at the moment, so just going with the flow!

Jinsei my original goal was the end of this month (DD2's first birthday), but that is nowhere within reach. I'm hoping to reach my goal before I finish breastfeeding - as I'll find it a lot harder after that!

To paraphrase Douglas Adams, though, I love goal dates, I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly past Grin

14%. Yay! Still got another 10% to go before hitting target weight, though.

Losing 32% is amazing, Aiming! Well done you!

I have lost 29% [if I have worked it out correctly]. Was 14 stones 11, now 10 stones 7.
Ideally I would like to lose a little bit more but I am now more focussed on fitness, so will see how it goes.

I've lost 36.2% so far. Still got another 17% to go to my original target then probably a bit more after that

Jinsei · 09/08/2012 20:26

Wow, some inspiring numbers!! I cannot begin to imagine how good I'll feel when I've lost 30% of my body weight. Still seems a long way off...

I have lost 26% of my bodyweight since September 11 but my ultimate goal is 46%, so another 20% to go !

I've lost 25% so far (12 to 9 stone) but want to get that to 33% ie 8 stone
