Calculating your excess weight loss

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have seen so much misalignment of expectations that I though a

simple write up on how to cacluate your excess weight and what to

expect in terms weight loss.

Calculating your excess weight loss

Excess Weight Loss =

Starting BMI – Current BMI ] / [ Starting BMI –22.5]

Expected excess weight Loss:

BMI 40-50 BMI 50-60 BMI 60-80

3 months 35% 30% 25%

6 months 50% 42% 35%

9 months 65% 55% 45%

12 months 75% 65% 55%

18 months 75% 75% 75%

Example:

Starting BMI 45.0 55 70

3 months 37.1 45.3 58.1

6 months 33.8 41.4 53.4

9 months 30.4 37.1 48.6

12 months 28.1 33.9 43.9

18 months 28.1 30.6 34.4

Assume Height = 5' 4''

Starting Weight 262 320 407

3 months 216 263 338

6 months 196 241 311

9 months 177 216 283

12 months 164 197 255

18 months 164 178 200

These numbers are only averages, and your weight loss may vary.
