Week 112 and taking a longer view...
I was updating my spreadsheet today and thought this was interesting on how weight loss goes in cycles and how having too narrow of a focus can be discouraging. Here are some of the stats I track:
2.3 - 4 Week Avg.
0.4 - 6 Week Avg.
0.9 - 8 Week Avg.
1.2 - 12 Week Avg.
1.3 - 26 Week Avg
2.7 - Overall
2.5 - Exclude First 2 weeks
As you can see, the last 4 weeks have been good. However, I was having a struggle in the prior 4 weeks as you can see my by 6 week and 8 week avgerage. If I just looked at 1 week or even a not so good 4 week period, it would be hard to keep sight of the fact that over the last 12 weeks, I have hit 1.2 pounds lost per week. Over the last 6 months 1.3. Just thought it might help someone else that is having a hard time to reframe how they define "working" and success.
I wish everyone the very best!
