Dropped another lb. which brings my total to 17. I saw on another thread about someone saying they had lost '10% of their starting weight'. Hmmm, I never really thought of it in terms of '%' loss (and hey, I'm all for ANY type of incremental measuring to keep me going! ) and even my mathletically challenged brain realized that 10% of 170 is 17. How very cool!

Good job!

I guess I'm now at 5%. That actually sounds better than only losing 14 pounds

Keep up the great work!

I just LOVE IT....when my coaches lose 1.5 bowling balls!

:cheer :

Great job, Hat Trick - congrats!

Congratulations! That's awesome!

Oh, nice way to look at it! 10% is impressive!

WTG. 10% is great. You are doing it!

Congratulations!!! Great job!

Losing ten percent of my starting weight (only one more pound!) is the first major interim goal that I am targeting.

Studies came out recently that showed that losing (and maintaining) a 10% weight loss resulted in noticeable improvements in health (cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and insulin resistance). That is probably why you see some folks mentioning the 10% goal mark.

Here's a link with some info...

Congrats!

My goal is 60 lbs off, and I've lost 8.

10% of the 60 seemed very easy to reach. 10% of my body weight would be 19.5 lbs, so 11.5 to go - I may restructure my goals!

I have one more pound to go before my 10% starting weight loss goal! In fact, i made this nice chart of goals (yes, Excel works for LOTS of things!) So, every time I lose 10%, my next goal is to lose 10% of that current weight. It's easier than looking at the big picture..and it's so nice to think of myself as 10% smaller. Ugh. I can't believe I ever let myself get that (this) big!
