    I have lost 17.2% of my starting weight and 36.3% of the amount I want to lose. Wow, I've completed a third of my goal already. Cool!

    Well done, Ailidh!

    Let's see, the 102.2 pounds I've lost amounts to 30% of my starting weight and 59% of the total I want to lose. I've gone from being morbidly obese to just obese to being 15.4 pounds away from overweight and 52.4 pounds away from being normal. Hooray for slicing and dicing numbers! It does help to understand how far we've all come!

    Looks like I've lost just over 42% of my starting weight, and have completed about 87% of my goal. I'm definitely going to drop my final goal weight when I get there, but for now, that 87% done thing feels pretty awesome.

    I am terrible at percentages! I do know this, though: I have lost 38% of my original body weight, and my ultimate goal is to lose 51% of my original weight. I knew I was pretty close to goal, but somehow 13% sounds less daunting right now than '33 more pounds'.

    Thanks! I try not to dwell on it too much, because the last thing in the world I want to do is get complacent, but yeah, I'm so happy to be where I am now.

    Wow, you guys have some awesome percentages going on. I thought I'd add mine to the list

    23.1% of start weight
    43.5% of total weight to lose

    Those numbers definitely do help the slow loss this month feel better.

    Ubergirl, it was so interesting for you to say that people really start to notice the weight loss when you lose 20%. No one really noticed my weight loss until this week when multiple people have mentioned it, even though I have lost 55ish pounds. I had never heard that 20% idea, but also think it might be true.
    I think I read that on one of the brilliant 3FC threads, but it does seem true.

    I think a lot about how much all obesity seems to get lumped into the same category. It's almost as though, once you're fifty pounds overweight you might as well be one hundred pounds overweight.

    But the 20% I've lost makes a HUGE difference in EVERY aspect of my life.
