[Results] 12 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
12 weeks on 1.7mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. Numbers below. Ask me the boring questions, they are the useful ones.
Since the title puts numbers in the shop window: 12 weeks and 1.7mg.
Stalled for 13 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not.
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.
That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.
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.
Circumference measurements often continue changing during a scale plateau because composition changes are not visible on a bathroom scale.
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.

Adding the thing I wish someone had said to me — the goal you picked at week one was a guess.
The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for three weeks at that point.
goal weights chosen at week one are usually guesses
Left up. It is a milestone post with a timeframe attached, which is all we ask.
a plateau is not a failure and it is not a personality
progress is not linear and nobody’s is
Nobody noticed for months. Then several people noticed in the same fortnight, which was strange and quite nice.
waist is the measurement that keeps moving during a scale stall
Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.
That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
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.
Correction: 6kg over 12 months is a different claim from 6kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.
