does goal actually matter or is it forum lore at this point

Discussionbranch of 6 comments

Question in the title, detail here: does goal actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. Nobody noticed for months.

What to measure if you want to stay sane through the flat parts.

Weight, under consistent conditions, no more than weekly. Waist, monthly — it frequently keeps moving when the scale does not. And one non-scale thing a week written down: a garment, a staircase, a distance, an ordinary task that got easier.

A year of those three is a far better record than a year of daily weights, and reading the third column back is the part that actually means something. The daily number is noise dressed up as information, and it has ruined more months on this board than any plateau.
