15 months in and struggle is still the thing I get wrong

Struggle

Reporting in. 15 months in and struggle is still the thing I get wrong.

The relevant figures are 15 months, and they come from the same log I have kept the whole time.

16kg over 11 months and honestly the most useful marker was that stairs stopped being a decision.

Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.

That is everything I have. The rest is opinion and I have tried to keep it out.

Nobody has to post a starting weight, and comments demanding one get removed.

What are you actually celebrating today? Genuine question.

measurements beat photographs for actually tracking anything

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: 17kg over 12 months is a different claim from 17kg in a month, and the post reads as the second.

How are you keeping track — spreadsheet, notebook, nothing?

u/zeynep_villalobos16 points·1 year ago

Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?

Wrote down one non-scale thing every week. Reading a year of those back was more affecting than any number.

kian_ferreira is right that the clothes tell you before the scale does.

non-scale victories count and they are the ones people remember

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.
