re: #54 darthstar

[snip] I was at 262 in March. Dropped a quick 20lbs, but then got stuck at 242-243 [snip]

Long ago I wrote down those weights that I could recall having been at, over many years, and found that they seemed to fit a geometric progression. My characteristic ratio was a factor of about 1.08, for one stable weight to the next higher one.

I note that 262 / 242.5 is almost exactly that ratio.

I’ve noticed that ratio with several of my personal friends and acquaintences, so I’m convinced there must be some underlying physical reason for this pattern. However, I’ve never found anything supportive of that idea in scientific literature.

Please tell me if these numbers (+/-1) seem familiar to you:
262
242.6
224.6
208
192.6
178.3
165.1
