[Question] how do you actually verify milestone
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 happier for it.
Stalled for 23 weeks and measured my waist out of stubbornness. It had moved. The scale had not.
The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for three weeks at that point.
Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Nobody has to post a starting weight, and comments demanding one get removed.

Slight disagreement: that is a month, not a plateau, and calling it one makes it heavier than it is.
Is the goal you set at the start still the goal?
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.
the middle is the part nobody posts and everybody lives in

Agreed — measurements over photographs, every time, for anybody trying to actually track something.
waist is the measurement that keeps moving during a scale stall
Did the clothes change before the number did for you too?
a plateau is not a failure and it is not a personality
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.
celebrate the boring milestones, they are the durable ones
Yes. Clothes fitting differently arrives well before the scale acknowledges anything.
Careful — that reads as advice about what someone else should do, and this board is for describing your own.

Adding the thing I wish someone had said to me — the goal you picked at week one was a guess.
measurements beat photographs for actually tracking anything
Disagree that the pace matters as much as you think. Durable is better than fast and nobody posts about durable.

That is a waist measurement, not a weight, and the thread has been comparing them as though they were the same.
