I don’t know the formula, and I’m bad at math anyway. If a person starts with 184 the first week, and by the 6th week they weighed 169.5, which is a loss of 14.5 pounds, what is the overall percentage of weight loss? What if they had gained weight in between?
My question again was about weight loss and there have been some great answers

14.5/184 = .078; .078 x 100 = 7.8% weight loss.
If you gained weight in between, but stayed below 184 pounds, the percentage would remain the same. If you went above 184, and still wound up at 169.5, subtract 169.5 from the larger number, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage weight loss.
By the way, losing 14.5 pounds in 6 weeks equates to about 2.4 pounds of weight loss per week. Try to keep your weight loss below 2 pounds per week. Crash diets losing more than two pounds per week have a terrible long-term track record of KEEPING it off.
