I've decided I am going to post 160.0 when I actually see it on scales (not 1lb later) so this half pound 'loss' is just me shifting half way to the real scale reading.
I won't want to be at 'reality' for long (who does) so I guess after I hit that number I will gradually keep some loss 'in the bank' until I get back to being 1lb behind the scales again.

Is it not best just to post what you measure. It is a bit like setting your clock 5 minutes fast, is it not. There is not really a lot of point. You know the actual number, it just confuses the onlookers.

I agree with Jocko - just record what you see on the scales but maybe record every other day or once a week if the fluctuations bother you.

I am brutally honest, if not I tend to skirt around my weight and then it all goes a bit Pete. However, whatever works for you ARB.

the fluctuations don't bother me because I know what they are, and I have a paper chart at home which records exactly what the scale says and is updated whenever I feel like it.
Online however I am not only telling myself, I am telling anyone else who notices it, and I can't be bothered to constantly be recording every difference always with an 'I think its water' or 'I think its salt' or 'I think I didn't poo yet' or 'I ate late yesterday', or even those normal fluctuations of actual weight change this way or that way around a central point by an acceptable margin
- I know that weights get affected by this sort of thing and many other things too - that's a big part of why I stay a little bit behind my weight online.
But also, if I usually recorded my actual weight online it would always seem to me that as soon as the scale changed my online weight had become a lie which I'd need to quickly update.
Someone once said 'Don't sweat the small stuff' - this is all small stuff and I'm not going to sweat about it, I'm not really interested in the daily values even though I look at the scale twice every day, my own brain only cares about the trend and I don't need a spreadsheet to know what the trend is - I'm going to record here what my brain knows because that is the truth to me and I deal in truths.
But my brain knows that when I get to 160.0 I'm not going back.. its a very huge mark in the sand.

sorry I should also add - this being 'My Weight History' it is very much up to me what method I want to use to record it, I don't care as much whether onlookers get confused as I do whether onlookers are misinformed. I have always explained what I do so that I am not misinforming anyone.

ARB, I agree very much with your philosophy. It has worked for you so far- so why throw out the baby with the bath water... so to speak x

Jocko .. I like setting my watch 5 minutes too fast then folks can't catch up with me..
Little wonder I'm always ahead of myself 😁😜😘

I have most of my clocks and watches set 8 minutes fast, so that sometimes I am on time for things. Oops, what an admission... ARB, I totally understand about the weight recording. You do what you feel is best. I also now 'take a view' on weight. Anyway, what does a pound matter, one way or the other? It's the long-term trend that matters.
