small win: non-scale victory stopped being a problem at week 46

Discussion Clean Column ×9 Cold Box ×2

Check-in as promised in the title: small win: non-scale victory stopped being a problem at week 46.

Stopped reading the fastest posts here for a month and my mood improved considerably.

Nobody noticed for months. Then several people noticed in the same fortnight, which was strange and quite nice.

Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.

Body weight varies by a couple of kilos day to day through fluid, glycogen and gut content, which is why a single weigh-in is noise and a fortnightly trend is signal.

Small correction, kindly meant: that is a range rather than a regain. Weight moves day to day in everybody.

goal weights chosen at week one are usually guesses

What timeframe is that over?

a plateau is not a failure and it is not a personality

12kg over 11 months and honestly the most useful marker was that stairs stopped being a decision.

the timeframe matters as much as the number

Careful — that reads as advice about what someone else should do, and this board is for describing your own.

About c/progresspics

Progress posts with no images, by design. Starting point, current point, timeframe, dose history, what changed besides the scale. Text-only removes the comparison trap, the body-shaming pile-on and the entire question of who owns a photo of your torso.
