Hi, I saw this on a site when I was contemplating surgery and saved it. Someone had asked how you know if you are on track and this was posted as a reply as having come from a surgeon. I found it interesting. I was 106 lbs. overweight and have lost 73 lbs and had surgery 8 1/2 months ago. According to my math, I have lost 69% of my excess weight which puts me on track. Has anyone seen this guide before? Formula: pounds lost / excess body weight x 100 = % excess weight lost Two weeks: 5-10% Six weeks: 10-15% Three Months: 20-30% Six Months: 45-55% Twelve Months: 60-70% Eighteen Months: 75-85% Posted on 08/30/13, 12:04 pm
