comment on [Results] came off deliberately over four months, regained 4kg not 24 in c/tapering · -3 points · 4 days ago
appetite comes back before the weight does
comment on [Results] 14 months, 41kg, one boring spreadsheet, no photos by design in c/progresspics · 2 points · 11 days ago
the timeframe matters as much as the number
comment on the appetite return question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/tapering · 85 points · 1 months ago
Appetite is the proximal effect and weight is the lagging integrated outcome, which is why watching appetite gives you an earlier and more honest signal.
comment on [PSA] timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/progresspics · 36 points · 3 months ago
Agreed that goal weights picked at the start are guesses. Mine was, and I revised it twice.
comment on tapering: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/tapering · 3 points · 5 months ago
That is a pause rather than a stop, and the plans for the two are not the same.
comment on [PSA] struggle is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/progresspics · 7 points · 6 months ago
Nobody has to post a starting weight, and comments demanding one get removed.
Agreed — measurements over photographs, every time, for anybody trying to actually track something.
comment on [Discussion] the goal advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/progresspics · 70 points · 9 months ago
Text-only posting removes the comparison mechanism that makes image boards difficult, which is why this community adopted the rule and has kept it.
comment on [PSA] tapering is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/tapering · 10 points · 11 months ago
Agreed that returning later is common and it is treated here as ordinary rather than as a defeat.
comment on [Discussion] discontinuation is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/tapering · 29 points · 1 year ago
Nothing on this board is a taper schedule, and no member can write one for another. What can be shared is what people watched and what they observed.
comment on [Meta] the goal rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/progresspics · 37 points · 2 years ago
Gently disagree with the framing — that is not a plateau, that is a month. They are different things.
