What percentage of your weight have you lost?
Clinical studies of GLP-1 medications report results as a percentage of starting weight. Work out yours, and how far along you are toward your goal.
For education and arithmetic only. Not medical advice, and not a dosing, mixing or treatment recommendation. Confirm your medication, dose and measurements with your prescriber or pharmacist.
How it works
Percent lost
(Starting weight − current weight) ÷ starting weight × 100.
Toward your goal
(Starting − current) ÷ (starting − goal) × 100.
Questions
Why use percent instead of pounds?
It compares fairly between people of different sizes, which is why studies use it.
How do I calculate the percentage of weight lost?
Subtract your current weight from your starting weight, divide by your starting weight and multiply by 100.
Does it work in kg and lb?
Yes. Use the same unit for every number.
How much weight do people lose on a GLP-1?
It varies a lot between people, medications and doses. The labels report average results from their trials; your prescriber can tell you what to expect.
Can Steady track my progress?
Yes. Log your weight in Steady and see it charted next to your doses, with an estimated goal date.
What if I gained weight?
The calculator shows it as a gain. Weight goes up and down day to day; the trend matters more.
What else should I track besides weight?
Doses, side effects, and protein, fiber and water. Together they explain the trend.
Is Steady on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Steady is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
