[Non-Scale Win] walked up the escalator instead of standing on it

Results Receipts ×9

walked up the escalator instead of standing on it. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this.

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

Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of the apparent variability people find distressing.

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.

If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.

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.

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

Stalled for 21 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not.

measurements beat photographs for actually tracking anything

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.
