Newcomer note: a four-week stretch without a lower scale number is common enough that it barely counts as a signal by itself. My sheet has morning weight, weekly average, waist tape, and a simple step count.
Last month the weekly average moved 0.3 lb total, basically noise, while waist tape dropped 0.5 in and steps averaged about 800 higher. The scale trendline looked nearly horizontal; the other columns didn’t.
What helped was zooming out to four weekly averages and checking whether sleep, salty dinners, or late meals had shifted before reading anything into the flat line. If the four averages sit inside a small band, that’s often timing and water, not a verdict.
Which column do you look at first when the scale gets dull?
