I am a little over one hundred pounds down across sixteen months, and I have kept a weekly average since the beginning. Every morning I step on the scale, then on Sunday I average the seven numbers.
That habit has carried me through many flat stretches, and I trust it more than any single day. Lately, though, the log has started to feel crowded.
I also jot down whether I walked, cooked dinner at home, and slept well. The weekly average is still my anchor, but the extra notes are becoming hard to compare from week to week.
For those of you who have tracked a long loss, how do you keep it usable? Do you pare it down to one or two numbers, or do you review the whole pile at the end of the month?
I am not sure whether I am over-recording or simply in a season where the scale is quiet. I would be grateful for any process tips, especially from people who have stayed consistent after a large milestone.
