Imposter syndrome after weight loss — my results so far

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

Coming at TrialTracker_MD’s question from a different direction. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

One concrete data point for the thread. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Following on from TrialTracker_MD — and this may be the naive question:

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?

I read this differently from dan_philly, on substance rather than tone. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.
