am I the only one who found struggle harder than the injections
Genuine question, and the title is the question: am I the only one who found struggle harder than the injections.
8kg over 15 months and honestly the most useful marker was that stairs stopped being a decision.
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.
Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
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.
This. Waist measurement kept moving through my longest stall and it was the only thing that kept me sane.
non-scale victories count and they are the ones people remember
Small correction, kindly meant: that is a range rather than a regain. Weight moves day to day in everybody.
Same. Comparison ruined about three months for me until I stopped reading the fastest posts.

Right — the non-scale victories are the ones I remember. The numbers all blur together after a while.
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.
Agreed that goal weights picked at the start are guesses. Mine was, and I revised it twice.
Agreed — text only was the best rule this board ever adopted. The posts are about what actually changed rather than about lighting.
Push back on the goal number. You chose it before you knew what any of this felt like.
Agreed — text only was the best rule this board ever adopted.
This is the one I would put in the sidebar. The middle is where everyone lives.
the clothes change before the number does
Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number.
goal weights chosen at week one are usually guesses
That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
Correction: 15kg over 15 months is a different claim from 15kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.
a plateau is not a failure and it is not a personality
Not convinced comparison helps here. The people posting the fastest results are the tail of a distribution, not the middle.
Stalled for 7 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not.
Left up. It is a milestone post with a timeframe attached, which is all we ask.
measurements beat photographs for actually tracking anything
