help me understand progress, I have read the wiki twice
help me understand progress, I have read the wiki twice, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Stalled for 4 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not. The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for three…

Cosigning on timeframe. "18kg" means something completely different over 13 months than over one.
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number.
Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week.
Slight disagreement: that is a month, not a plateau, and calling it one makes it heavier than it is.
Careful — that reads as advice about what someone else should do, and this board is for describing your own.
The boring middle lasted the longest and it is the part I am most proud of.
Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.
This. Waist measurement kept moving through my longest stall and it was the only thing that kept me sane.
Small correction, kindly meant: that is a range rather than a regain. Weight moves day to day in everybody.
Agreed — text only was the best rule this board ever adopted. The posts are about what actually changed rather than about lighting.
Disagree that the pace matters as much as you think. Durable is better than fast and nobody posts about durable.
progress is not linear and nobody’s is
