milestone — 2 things I got wrong before I got it right

Discussion Clean Column ×4 Slow Clap ×3

milestone — 2 things I got wrong before I got it right, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it.

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.

Stalled for 11 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not.

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

Sceptical readings welcome. The confident ones are the ones I distrust.

Circumference measurements often continue changing during a scale plateau because composition changes are not visible on a bathroom scale.

How long was the stall before it moved?

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.

Yes. The middle is where everybody actually lives and almost nobody posts from it.

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

Cosigning on timeframe. "13kg" means something completely different over 8 months than over one.

the timeframe matters as much as the number

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

Disagree that the pace matters as much as you think. Durable is better than fast and nobody posts about durable.

Text-only posting removes the comparison mechanism that makes image boards difficult, which is why this community adopted the rule and has kept it.

What timeframe is that over?

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.
