Nearly 3 months out - 39.5% EWL (I guess)

Apr 20, 2011

So today, I calculated my EWL but I'm confused: do I use my highest weight or my surgery weight?  Do I use a barely normal BMI or my goal weight?  It looks better if I use highest weight and barely normal BMI, but I don't think I'll be happy there.  I really want to be 145.  I don't want to gain one pound and be overweight again.  I want a few pounds of wiggle room for my TOM and water weight.  On the other hand: if I lose 2 lbs a week for the rest of the year, I will weigh 177 by New Year's Day.  Not to shabby.  Even slow weight loss will get me there eventually, if painfully.  Only 20 more pounds to my next goal - just being plain old obese!  

249 = BMI 37.9 = Severe obesity
229 = BMI 34.8 = Obesity
196 = BMI 29.8 = Overweight
164 = BMI 24.9 = Normal
145 = BMI 22.0 = Normal with some wiggle room

                   HW: 317 lbs                                                                                SW: 292 lbs
164 lbs - 153 lbs to lose - 68 lbs lost - 44.4% lost               164 lbs - 128 lbs to lose - 43 lbs lost - 33.6% lost
145 lbs - 172 lbs to lose - 68 lbs lost - 39.5% lost               145 lbs - 147 lbs to lose - 43 lbs lost - 29.3% lost
