My percent-down column carried this odd week

late thursday after ranked matches i weighed in at 213.4, only 0.8 down from last week. old me would've felt like that was nothing.

but the app also showed i passed 14% total lost, since my start was 248. same week, same sleep mess, same two midnight sodas swapped for fizzy water, but the percent made it feel like a direction instead of a shrug.

i still log pounds, i just look at the percent column first now. anyone else keep a percent number around just to keep their brain quiet?

I’ve started pairing the weekly delta with a 4-week average and the percent-lost number, because a 0.8 can look tiny next to a 14% milestone even when it’s just one weird rank-night weigh-in. The 14% is the headline for me.

Does your app calculate that from your 248 start, or does it use a rolling baseline? Mine flips between the two and it totally changes how I read an odd week.
