Congrats!!!!! Ya beat me!!!

On a calculator enter your current weight. Now hit the divide button. Now enter your MAX weight. hit equals. That gives you a percentage below 1. Now take 1 minus what the percentage you got and that equals the percentage you have lost.

ex. I used to weigh 400 now I weigh 302.
400/302 = 0.755
1-0.755 = 0.245
Move the decimal to the right 2 places and you get 24.5%

Now you know!

I assume you mean beat our percentages Foofy because I'm still the biggest lagger with my weight loss. Of course that can change any minute now ! Good luck to us all.

Congratulations on breaking the 100 lbs mark Raynae, fantastic work!

Man, I haven't changed my stats since the first time I put them in! I feel like I MAY have lost an additional pound, but my scale kinda moves all over the place, so I can't be certain.
I definitely think I'm destined for the slow losers club! I'm tryin' to deny it!

TX, I think it's a bit easier to just divide your total pounds lost by your start weight. For example your percentage: 98/400= .245 then move the decimal over two which is 24.5%. That's just easier for someone math challenged like me.

Raynae - I updated your percentage. Way to come from behind and break that 100-pound tape!
Don't fret, you'll get there. If it makes you feel any better, I popped back up a pound or so in the last 24 hours.
Up and down, up and down, what am I, a big old dang see saw?!

One less step to anything in life is better...

Clawing my way forward. Look out!!!

TxArcher and Hollyberries - when oh when are you two gonna cross that magic 100-pound mark???? You've both been teetering on the edge for quite some while now.
Foofy!

I would kill for this last pound but for goodness sake it just won't drop off my body. How can 90lbs be so freaking easy and this last 10lbs take over 2 months. It is alright though because I have come along way.

I just started water aerobics about 3 weeks ago and I love it. I am feeling it in my clothes. I am also lifting weights 2 days per week and water aerobics 3 days a week. I take the weekends off because I work at my store. I have found that eating is more difficult since my last fill. I have to be very careful or I am in major pain. This band is very finnicky and when I think I have figured it out it throws me another curve ball.

The batteries went dead on my scale yesterday so I haven't been able to weigh myself. I am getting one tomorrow so I hope this dang pound is gone. I just want to hit 100lbs and be done with it. After that I have only one more goal to get to my wedding weight of 220lbs. At the rate that I am going it will be freaking next year before that happens but you know this is a lifestyle change and I have the rest of my life to lose it.

By the way, you doing great. I love seeing you slow losers losing...you may surpass Archer and me at anytime now. By the way, the size 22's fit. I haven't seen size 22 in 14 years; since prior to my oldest son's birth. Wow that is a really long time. I just keep focusing on the NSV's that I am having with this 99lb loss so far and it really helps.

Keep up the great work and thanks for asking.

Cindy
