Tbh i keep a plain spreadsheet, one row per week, and this weekend I scrolled the whole thing instead of just staring at the newest number. Total loss so far is 94 lbs, which sounds tidy until you look at the shape of it.
Average came out to about 1.5 lbs a week. Median was 1.1. The four biggest single-week drops — 4.8, 4.1, 3.9, 3.6 — all landed in weeks when I was either sick to my stomach or barely eating because of travel. So the "best" weeks on paper were the ones where I felt worst, which makes me distrust the weekly number as a progress signal.
What I want is something less noisy. Sleep hours and how many days I got a real walk in are easy to log, but I don't know if they'd correlate with anything meaningful at this sample size.
Curious what the data-minded folks here track alongside weight. Has anyone here looked back at their own log and found a variable that actually predicted the calmer stretches, or is 61 points just too few to say anything?
