How do you figure out what 1% of your body weight is??

Well, what I do is aim to lose as much as I can, and then figure out what the loss was. As explained below:


Take this week's weight (CW), divide it by last week's weight (SW), subtract 1, and then multiply by 100 to get the change in weight (WC).

WC = (CW/SW-1)/100

Don't forget to apply BEDMAS. (Operations are performed in the order of brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.)

So, for example, if you weighed 210 lbs Aug 1, and weigh 207 lbs Aug 8...

WC = (207/210-1)*100
WC = -1.4%
 
thanks Mal and focus!! So I'm at 230...which means I need to loose 2.3 pds/week...correct?

I said that, foolio.

Also, your Aunt Sally sucks. I like bedmas. It makes me think of glorious, glorious days spent boning from breakfast right through brunch on more than one occasion. That and in math there are many kinds of brackets used, so to say parentheses is pretty limited, I will fight you. :boxing:
 
Focus are you on some sort of medication??? I mean really ;) lol You just crack me up:D
"foolio"

I should aim for losing 1.9 pounds a week. Sounds like a small amount, but I know how tough this really is.

Good luck to us all.
