The best solution I have to competitive weight loss is this.
We measure % weight loss (ie lost weight/ original weight x 100).
And then divide that by initial body weight to have % weight loss/ kg of original body mass.
And then make that into a percentage.
(% weight loss/ original weight x 100)
Sound sensible?
That means if a 90kg person lost 10kgs (11% total weight loss) and a 75kgs person lost 7 (9% total weight loss), then they would come to the same figure roughly (12% loss) for % weight loss/ kg original weight....
Its not perfect, but I can't think of a better one at the moment.
