Wedding dress shopping 3 sizes smaller — my results so far

Plateau breaking story with a stall: I stalled at 204 lbs for 5 weeks.

I read this differently from DanielChem_CHI, on substance rather than tone. The "it is your intake" reflex here gets tiring. Some people genuinely stop responding at a dose that worked, and telling them to track harder when they have already tracked is how people stop posting.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Coming at labquiet_amy’s question from a different direction. The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated. Those two sets overlap less than the confident tone of most write-ups suggests, and the second set is where nearly all the disagreement on this board comes from.

Happy to go further on any of that.

Following on from DataDave — and this may be the naive question:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

Reporting back.

Rolling average over five weeks showed I had lost 1.6kg during my "plateau". The scale was noise and the tape had moved. I changed nothing and it resumed.
