I keep a tiny note on my phone: after meals, how my body feels, sleep, whether I want to keep going or lie down. Comparing entries from this month to the same month last year, the scale isn't the part that surprises me. A year ago I rated most afternoons a 3/10 for energy and needed a long sit after groceries. Today I'm at 6 or 7/10 most days, and I can carry two bags up the back steps without my heart pounding. I still track because I'm cautious; I don't want to miss a signal that something's off. Weight is down 29 pounds, but the steadier thing is that I notice hunger and fullness before they become urgent. I'm curious: for those further along, which body signal showed up first for you — energy, sleep, or mood?
