I've never been able to figure out the graphic, which I think looks like an ant carrying a towel but the 11% refers to the fact that you have completed 11% of your weight loss goal (big, fat high five by the way!!)

Hi,
it represents how far you've come in reaching your goal weight. ex., your stats are 220/210/130. you've lost 10 lbs of the 90 lbs you plan to lose, and 10lbs is approximately 11 percent of 90 lbs, so your icons has the bars with 11% next to it. hope that clears things up! goodluck
