Caught a short video yesterday making the case that people drift away from weight-loss communities once their numbers get boring — the logic being that a steady scale means you no longer need the room. My spreadsheet disagrees, at least for one person.
I've got 92 consecutive days of morning weights and a seven-day trendline, and the stretch where that line moved 0.2 lb across nine days was the exact stretch I checked in here the most. Nothing dramatic was happening. That was the problem.
Big weeks I could handle on my own because I had a story to tell about them; flat weeks I mostly needed other people's flat weeks to hold mine up against. So the 'people leave when it gets dull' take feels backwards from where I sit.
For anyone further along than me: did you actually step away, or did you just go quiet and keep reading?
