A Technical Question

  • So I just lost my first 10%. Is the next 10% based on my current weight or my starting weight? Basically, is the next 10% going to be 29.2 or 26.2?

    It's probably a stupid thing to spend my time obsessing over, but its 110 degrees outside and I've got nothing else to do.
  • I've wondered the same thing too, so good question! I'll defer to the experts, but my guess is 10% of your original weight.

    I'm in southern CA and it's hot here too! I'm DREADING my electric bill this month -- seems like the air has been on non-stop for weeks. Hang in there and stay cool!
  • It's 10 percent of your current weight...I know this for sure. The idea is that it takes about the same amount of consistent effort in terms of time to lose 10% at any given weight. Speaking generally, a 250 pound person can lose 25 pounds in about the same amount of time that a 150 pound person can lose 15.
  • I guess you can look at it both ways. When you're looking at your NEXT 10%, it is from where you are now.

    But when you look back at what you've lost, look from the very beginning -- I've lost 40% of my original weight!
  • I always wondered the same thing. Good to know
