[PSA] timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is
The one-line version is the title: timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is. The rest is why. Nobody noticed for months. Then several people noticed in the same fortnight, which was strange and quite nice. Why this board is text only, since new members ask every week. A photograph invites comparison…
On the goal weight you set in week one.
You chose it with the least information you will ever have about how this feels, what is sustainable, and what your body does at different points. Revising it is not moving the goalposts; it is updating a prediction, which is what you are supposed to do with predictions.
Several of the longest-standing members here have revised theirs more than once, in both directions, and describe the revision as the point at which the whole thing became manageable. What the number should be is a conversation with somebody who knows your history — but that it is allowed to change is something this board can tell you.
Did the clothes change before the number did for you too?
I would not treat a two-kilo range as a regain. Weight varies day to day in everybody.

spreadsheet_gremlin is right that the clothes tell you before the scale does.
the timeframe matters as much as the number
waist is the measurement that keeps moving during a scale stall
