goal — my 23-week log, condensed into one table
goal — my 23-week log, condensed into one table. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
Circumference measurements often continue changing during a scale plateau because composition changes are not visible on a bathroom scale.
Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.
Rate of change is not a virtue. Slower trajectories are as durable as fast ones and are considerably better represented on this board than the front page suggests.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Text-only posting removes the comparison mechanism that makes image boards difficult, which is why this community adopted the rule and has kept it.
How long was the stall before it moved?
Gently disagree with the framing — that is not a plateau, that is a month. They are different things.

Same. Comparison ruined about three months for me until I stopped reading the fastest posts.
comparison is the thief of everything on a board like this
Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?
Careful — that reads as advice about what someone else should do, and this board is for describing your own.
That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
Correction: 26kg over 7 months is a different claim from 26kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.
A goal weight chosen before starting is a prediction made with the least information you will ever have. Revising it is ordinary rather than a failure.
Disagree that the pace matters as much as you think. Durable is better than fast and nobody posts about durable.
This. Waist measurement kept moving through my longest stall and it was the only thing that kept me sane.
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number.
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week.
Agreed — measurements over photographs, every time, for anybody trying to actually track something.
