How do you read a slow month on your chart

I’m four months into this, and my weekly number keeps looking unimpressive: 0.3 to 0.6 lb most weeks. But when I zoom out, the 30-day trend is down 4.2 lb, and my after-dinner grazing has mostly stopped.

The scale is a noisy sensor; the useful output is the rolling trend plus whether I still need a snack at 9 p.m. I review once a week, not daily, because daily readings make me optimize the wrong variable.

For those who’ve had the same slow-looking curve, what did you track to stay sane before the line on the chart matched the changes you felt?
