[Milestone] first time in a decade my blood pressure is normal

Milestone

Update, and the title has the headline: first time in a decade my blood pressure is normal.

The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for three weeks at that point.

Text-only posting removes the comparison mechanism that makes image boards difficult, which is why this community adopted the rule and has kept it.

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

I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.

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.

This. Waist measurement kept moving through my longest stall and it was the only thing that kept me sane.

Agreed — text only was the best rule this board ever adopted. The posts are about what actually changed rather than about lighting.

Gently disagree with the framing — that is not a plateau, that is a month. They are different things.

the first person to notice was me, months after it started

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

Same. Comparison ruined about three months for me until I stopped reading the fastest posts.

Yes. Clothes fitting differently arrives well before the scale acknowledges anything.

comparison is the thief of everything on a board like this

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