how is the weight loss percentage computed. I tried to figure out how they calculated and it says I loss 1.29%. My starting weight was 155 and I loss 2 lbs to make 153. When I divide these numbers I don't get 1.29%. Help.

I'm not sure.. but I think this is an overall percentage...

I was wondering that too! Just got my calculator out and managed to work out though! [2lbs loss / 155] x 100 = 1.29% Therefore formula for overall percentage: [(Start Weight - Weight)/Start Weight] x 100
