Reading trial news while my own averages stay steady

2026-10-06 11:34

I have been following the upcoming TRIUMPH-2 presentation with interest, but I am trying to treat it as information rather than a verdict on my own routine. My Sunday weekly average has moved from 214.6 to 209.9 over the past seven weeks, which is about 0.7 pounds per week.

Some days it barely budges, and one week it went up 0.4.

I still log my morning weight, my protein at breakfast, and a twenty-minute walk after lunch. That small set of habits is boring, but it has been kind to me.

I am not expecting a headline to change what I do on a Tuesday. For those who read trial updates, how do you keep the excitement or worry from bleeding into your daily choices?

Wishing everyone a steady week.

I love that you’re treating the trial news as information, not a verdict. A 0.7 lb/week average is a solid trend, and a 0.4 uptick week sounds like normal noise.

Something that helped me: I watch a 3-week trend line instead of any single Sunday, and I pair it with a monthly waist measurement. If my weekly average stalls but my waist or clothes feel different, I try not to change anything.

Gentle follow-up: do you weigh under the same conditions each Sunday morning—after the bathroom, before coffee or food? That made my averages much less jumpy than adding extra weigh-ins. Cheering you on.

I run a cafe, so I feel this. My version is the “quality-control bite” problem: a spoon of soup, a corner of scone, a trim of cake.

Last week I actually tallied them—14 small tastes across four days—and my Sunday average still dropped 0.4, but the morning after a double pastry batch it jumped 0.6 and scared me. What helped was logging tastes as one “cafe nibbles” entry instead of pretending they didn’t happen.

Do you count taste-test bites in your weekly average, or do you leave them out?

Your 0.7 lb/week average is such a steady, sane slope—especially with a 0.4 up week in there. I track a 7-day rolling average too, plus a few body-signal notes (sleep, salt, stress, cycle if relevant) because the scale often lags behind what’s actually happening.

When I see a bump like that, I ask: did I eat later/saltier, travel, or do a harder workout? Usually it’s water and settles by the next Sunday.

For trial news, I give myself 10 minutes, write one useful takeaway, then close the tab so it doesn’t become a verdict on my week. Do you weigh under the same conditions each Sunday?

I’m in maintenance now and do similar: daily weights, but I only make decisions off the 4-week average, not the Sunday number. One thing that helped was adding columns for weekly low and high—the spread shrank long before the average moved.

If you’re logging mornings, maybe track sleep and steps alongside? My averages stalled for 10 days after a higher-sodium weekend, then caught up.

Also, what are you hoping to take from TRIUMPH-2? For me, trial data is background noise unless it changes the boring stuff: protein, fiber, walks, sleep.
