I hit my goal range in February and immediately started worrying about backward drift. My daily scale is noisy, so I only act on the 7-day median.
I set a two-pound band: if the median sits above my ceiling for three mornings, I log weekdays and drop the bedtime snack. That sounds rigid, but it has kept me from either ignoring a trend or panicking over one salty dinner.
Down 63.8 lb total, and my 28-day slope is basically level. The contrarian part: I don’t think maintenance needs a new identity. It needs a tripwire.
What’s your tripwire—something numeric, a weekly photo, or just noticing your old habits getting louder?
