How do you calculate the overall weight loss for 6 weeks?

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?

Day 1:
Eat the soup accompanied with watermelon and melon for your main food all day long. Consume a glass of unsweetened cranberry juice before you go to bed.
Day 2:
Stop eating fruit at all! Consume your soup and you are allowed to eat green salad. Make sure the salad contain no dressings, peas and corns.
For dinner you can consume roasted potato or baked potato with butter (don’t ever think to fry it)
Day 3:
Consume the soup, salad and fruit but no potato today.
Day 4:
Eat the soup accompanied with a glass of skimmed milk. Consume 8 pieces of banana to provide your body enough energy. Your body now need carbohydrate and protein also calcium to lessen body need for sugar.
Day 5
Eat your soup again. Today you should consume salad and salmon fish. Make sure the salmon fish don’t exceed 10 ounces.
Day 6
You should consume maximum 10 ounces of meat along with your soup. You need the protein here.
Last Day
Consume 4 table spoons of rice with vegetables. Drink fresh watermelon or melon juice without sugar and eat your soup also today.

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.
