Calculate your progress using the same formula as The Biggest Loser<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired to track your transformation? This tool gives you the same percentage metric used in popular weight loss shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simple Formula<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Weight Loss % = (Lbs Lost \/ Starting Lbs) \u00d7 100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/strong>: Lose 5 lbs from 150 lbs? (5\/150) * 100 = 3.33% lost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important<\/strong>: This tracks total weight. Focus on losing fat, not muscle, for the healthiest results. Use this figure as one part of your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Weight Loss Percentage Calculator<\/title>\n <style>\n * {\n box-sizing: border-box;\n margin: 0;\n padding: 0;\n font-family: 'Segoe UI', system-ui, sans-serif;\n }\n body {\n background: linear-gradient(180deg, #1d85e2 0%, #fff 3%);\n color: #333;\n line-height: 1.6;\n padding: 20px;\n max-width: 800px;\n margin: 0 auto;\n }\n header {\n text-align: center;\n margin-bottom: 30px;\n padding-bottom: 20px;\n border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea;\n }\n h1 {\n color: #2c3e50;\n margin-bottom: 10px;\n }\n .tagline {\n color: #7f8c8d;\n font-style: italic;\n }\n .calculator-container {\n background-color: white;\n border-radius: 10px;\n box-shadow: 0 5px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\n padding: 30px;\n margin-bottom: 30px;\n }\n .formula-box {\n background-color: #f8f9fa;\n border-left: 4px solid #3498db;\n padding: 15px;\n margin-bottom: 25px;\n font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;\n }\n .input-group {\n margin-bottom: 20px;\n }\n label {\n display: block;\n margin-bottom: 8px;\n font-weight: 600;\n color: #2c3e50;\n }\n input[type=\"number\"] {\n width: 100%;\n padding: 12px 15px;\n border: 2px solid #ddd;\n border-radius: 6px;\n font-size: 16px;\n transition: border-color 0.3s;\n }\n input[type=\"number\"]:focus {\n border-color: #3498db;\n outline: none;\n }\n .unit {\n color: #7f8c8d;\n font-size: 0.9em;\n margin-left: 5px;\n }\n .button-group {\n display: flex;\n gap: 10px;\n margin-top: 25px;\n }\n button {\n flex: 1;\n padding: 14px;\n border: none;\n border-radius: 6px;\n font-size: 16px;\n font-weight: 600;\n cursor: pointer;\n transition: all 0.3s;\n }\n #calculate {\n background-color: #2ecc71;\n color: white;\n }\n #calculate:hover {\n background-color: #27ae60;\n }\n #reset {\n background-color: #e0e0e0;\n color: #333;\n }\n #reset:hover {\n background-color: #d0d0d0;\n }\n .result-box {\n background-color: #e8f6f3;\n border: 1px solid #2ecc71;\n border-radius: 6px;\n padding: 20px;\n margin-top: 25px;\n text-align: center;\n display: none;\n }\n .result-title {\n color: #27ae60;\n font-weight: 600;\n margin-bottom: 10px;\n }\n #result-value {\n font-size: 2.5em;\n font-weight: 700;\n color: #2c3e50;\n }\n .note {\n background-color: #fff8e1;\n border-left: 4px solid #ffc107;\n padding: 15px;\n margin-top: 25px;\n font-size: 0.95em;\n color: #666;\n }\n footer {\n text-align: center;\n margin-top: 40px;\n padding-top: 20px;\n border-top: 1px solid #eaeaea;\n color: #95a5a6;\n font-size: 0.9em;\n }\n <\/style>\n<\/head>\n<body>\n \n \n <main>\n <div class=\"calculator-container\">\n <div class=\"formula-box\">\n <strong>Weight Loss Percentage Formula:<\/strong><br>\n (Pounds Lost \u00f7 Starting Weight) \u00d7 100 = Percentage Lost\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"input-group\">\n <label for=\"starting-weight\">Starting Weight <span class=\"unit\">(lbs)<\/span><\/label>\n <input type=\"number\" id=\"starting-weight\" min=\"1\" step=\"0.1\" placeholder=\"e.g., 150\">\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"input-group\">\n <label for=\"current-weight\">Current Weight <span class=\"unit\">(lbs)<\/span><\/label>\n <input type=\"number\" id=\"current-weight\" min=\"1\" step=\"0.1\" placeholder=\"e.g., 145\">\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"button-group\">\n <button id=\"calculate\">Calculate Percentage<\/button>\n <button id=\"reset\">Reset<\/button>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"result-box\" id=\"result-box\">\n <div class=\"result-title\">Your Weight Loss Percentage<\/div>\n <div id=\"result-value\">0%<\/div>\n <div id=\"result-details\"><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"note\">\n <strong>Important Note:<\/strong> This calculator measures total weight loss, which includes muscle mass.
