Need a math check...

So I was an art major...

I got my percentage but I think I did it wrong....and i think I told adam wrong...and julie wrong.

method 1 *easiest

lbs lost/starting weight
8/214=.0373 correct?

method 2 (much more complicated which I used of course)

I took current weight 206/total weight 214=.962616
subtracted result from 1 (1-.962616=.037384) move the decimal over...somehow my calculator spat out 2.8 for some reason.

Now I can't figure out how I came up with 2.8...but I think I'm at 3.7% I must have lost the weight from my brain.
