Ho na, it's quite simple math. You take the weight you've lost, divide it by your starting weight, and then multiply by 100. So if you were 70kg and are now 65kg, you lost 5kg. (5/70)*100, that's your percentage. It's a nice way to see progress.
It's a straightforward calculation: (Original Weight - Current Weight) / Original Weight * 100. This gives you a clear percentage of how much body weight you've shed. It's a great metric to track progress and stay motivated.
Okay, so here's how you do it: Subtract your current weight from your starting weight to get the total weight lost. Then, divide the weight lost by your starting weight. Multiply that result by 100 to get the percentage. For example, 75kg start, 70kg current = 5kg lost. (5/75)*100 = 6.67% loss. It's a motivating way to look at progress!
The formula is quite standard: ((Starting Weight - Current Weight) / Starting Weight) * 100. This provides a relative measure of weight change. While it's a good tracking tool, remember that overall health metrics like BMI, body fat percentage, and blood parameters, alongside your doctor's assessment, give a more comprehensive picture of well-being.
It's simple math for calculation, but please ensure your weight loss is happening in a healthy manner. Rapid weight loss can sometimes be a sign of underlying issues. Always consult your doctor to ensure your diet and exercise plan are safe for your body, especially if you have existing health conditions.

My friend just taught me this! You take how much weight you lost, divide it by what you started at, and then multiply by 100. It's so cool to see a percentage instead of just the number on the scale, makes it feel more like an achievement, no?
Oh, I was trying to figure this out too! So if I started at 68kg and now I'm 65kg, that's 3kg lost. So (3/68)*100, which is roughly 4.4%. Thanks, everyone, for the clear explanation!
