Weight loss REALLY isn’t linear

I’ve hit 4 months of tracking my weight, and it’s been really jumpy! Here are my weekly averages over the past 16 weeks:

1. 147.5

2. 146.3 (-1.2)

3. 144.9 (-1.4)

4. 144.1 (-0.8)

5. 144.7 (+0.6)

6. 142.4 (-2.3)

7. 141.8 (-1.4)

8. 141.2 (-0.6)

9. 139.3 (-1.9)

10. 138.1 (-1.2)

11. 137.2 (-0.9)

12. 136.2 (-1.0)

13. 135.7 (-0.5)

14. 135.0 (-0.7)

15. 133.4 (-1.6)

16. 133.1 (-0.3)

Except for one week (that was after a vacation where I didn’t track) it’s always been an overall improvement from one week to the next.

Those weeks where there’s so little improvement, it feels hopeless. But looking at my overall progress, I’ve lost, on average, 1 pound a week since starting - exactly what I was aiming for!

I’m super close to my goal weight range of 125-130. The plan is to take it slow. I’ll get all the way down to just under 125, then increase my calories slowly until I’m consistently maintaining in the goal range.

4 months down, hopefully less than 4 months to go until I’m successfully transitioned to maintenance!
