First digit changed and I didn’t trust it

Logged 198.6 this morning. That’s 76.4 lb down over 14 months. No dramatic reveal. My weekly median has been 0.9 lb/week with three stalls longer than three weeks, so this is just the trend crossing a line I’d stopped fixating on.

Waist is down 14 cm; A1c went 6.4 to 5.5. I lift twice weekly and keep protein near 130 g. Clinically, the inputs matter more than the first digit.

Personally, seeing a 1 at the front hit harder than I expected. For those who’ve crossed a round-number threshold: did you change anything in maintenance planning, or did you keep the same system?

Congratulations—especially on the stalls, which are the unglamorous part. I’ve started logging a 10-day rolling average alongside my weekly median
