[PSA] struggle is not what most of this community thinks it is
struggle is not what most of this community thinks it is. Two minutes of reading now saves an argument later. Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing. Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and…
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.
That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
Cosigning on timeframe. "43kg" means something completely different over 14 months than over one.
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.

How long was the stall before it moved?
the timeframe matters as much as the number
Correcting my own post above — that was week 71, not the week I wrote. Same story, wrong number.
