struggle

someone explain progress to me like I have not read a paper in years, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Rate of change…

Check-in as promised in the title: came off two blood pressure meds and one statin. Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions…

regained 6kg over a winter and i am posting it anyway. Full detail below, and I have tried to keep the editorialising out of it. Since the title puts numbers in the…

does non-scale victory actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Why this board is text…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: genuine question about timeframe that I am slightly embarrassed to ask. Weighing under consistent conditions — same time,…

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…

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…

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…

Six-word version is the title — eight weeks, 2kg, doing everything right, and it is grinding me down — and the rest is context. The relevant figures are 2kg, and they…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: struggle — what am I missing here. The boring middle lasted the longest and it is the part I am most proud of. On the goal…

Something I keep coming back to: tied my own shoes without holding my breath. Weighing under consistent conditions — same time, same state, same scale — removes most of…

Thinking out loud about this: goal is doing more work than we give it credit for. Stopped reading the fastest posts here for a month and my mood improved considerably.…

two years, and the second year mattered more than the first, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom. The boring middle lasted the longest and it is…

Check-in as promised in the title: small win: non-scale victory stopped being a problem at week 61. Stopped reading the fastest posts here for a month and my mood…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: hit goal and immediately felt worse. did not expect that. What to measure if you want to stay sane through the flat…

Getting close to a number I picked somewhat arbitrarily at the start and now second-guessing whether it's actually the right number or just the number I happened to…

proposal — a flair for milestone posts. Comments open, and the wording is genuinely up for discussion. 19kg over 15 months and honestly the most useful marker was that…

the progress rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Stopped reading the fastest…

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.…

someone explain non-scale victory to me like I have not read a paper in years, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion. Rate…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: how do you actually verify milestone. My goal weight at week one was a number I made up. I have revised it twice since and I am…

Start 132kg, now 91kg, 14 months. Text-only community so here is the table instead of the picture, which I have come to think is the better format anyway. Month Weight…

Three weeks of steady loss, then week 4 the scale just... stopped. I had the pen in my hand ready to just not bother with the next dose. Posting the after because I…

the non-scale victory rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining, and it will stay as it is unless somebody makes the case to change it. Stalled for 19…
