As mentioned before, I have spreadsheets of my data. One of those spreadsheets includes historical data for the inches I've lost. In the beginning (2012), I didn't take that many measurements. Since 2018, my precision has increased, but what I can compare between 2012 and 2018 is a smaller subset of those inches. I take my inches monthly (inches move so much more slowly, especially now). In 2012-2013, I took them more frequently as I lost the first 80lbs then, and in 2013-2014, I measured pretty frequently as I was actively lifting. 2015-2016 has zero data as I was focused on the health storm going on in my life that year. And 2016-2017, I was relearning how to eat and eat in a calorie deficit with new food rules in place, plus moving, so there was largely no data here. This is also the year that I'd gained 20lbs trying to figure out the best things to eat in the new rules given ( no gluten, plus all the other foods I was allergic too).

But through it all, I still kept tabs on data. In 2018, when I decided to finally get to goal (I'd taken a recomp break right after losing the 80lbs to do the heavy lifting, so I'd never made it to goal), my data collection habits had increased 10fold. I knew a lot more about what to do, etc, etc.

Anyway, this little history lesson of mine is really to say that the numbers I'm presenting now are not entirely the whole, but they are the only historical data I have to match from now to then.

Since 2012, I have lost 101.3 inches across my body (7 data points). Between Feb 2018 - Now 2019, with more data points, I've lost 30 inches overall (12 data points).

As I near the end, I am reminded of the beginning. When I thought everything was insurmountable. When I thought I'd never make it. Yet, here I am. Through scale fluctuations and all! Some of my yearly trends look insane, too.

Stay frosty, folks, and keep slayin' your goals!
