I'm one pound from goal, I should have set my goal a few pounds
higher. Last week had some big losses so I'm coasting through the
"evening out" phase. I'm noticing more and more that any big dip (due
to diet or exercise) is followed by a moderating flat or gain period.
Usually they are 1-4 days long. When I performed an hour of snow
shoveling 6 out of 8 days I lost no more weight over time than when I
sat at home doing "desk work". I think the body really has a rate of
possible loss and you may have short term progress faster than that
rate, but then your body slows up. Anytime my graph dips below my
trendline, I expect to see some flat or gain days. Psychologically it
is helpful, since it is no surprise now when the scale stopping going
down or reverses now. I look forward to it..I know it is part of
making progress.
