Hi,

Looking for some help with understanding numbers. I seem to have a couple weeks of higher units (high 20s and 30s), then a week of lower units (low 20s and teens). It seems that as the weeks go on, each "lower" week gets lower than the last "lower" week. Any math folks out there who can help me understand where this graph might be going? Thank you! Numbers below....


Pre-TSM: 40-55 units/week (see above for my calculation of units), 0-4 AF

Week 1: about 20 units, 2 AF

Week 2: about 30 units, 4 AF

Week 3: 38 units, 2 AF

Week 4: 23 units, 4 AF

Week 5: 28 units, 4 AF

Week 6: 31 units, 3 AF

Week 7: 29 units, 4 AF

Week 8: 32 units, 3 AF

Week 9: 30 units, 3 AF

Week 10: 30 units, 3 AF

Week 11: 25 units, 4 AF

Week 12: 30 units, 3 AF

Week 13: 22 units, 4 AF

Week 14: 38 units, 3 AF

Week 15: 24 units, 3 AF

Week 16: 34 units, 3 AF

Week 17: 36 units, 2 AF

Week 18: 32 units, 3 AF

Week 19: 20 units, 4 AF

Week 20: 36 units, 1 AF

Week 21: 27 units, 3 AF

Week 22: 20 units, 4 AF

Week 23: 26 units, 4 AF

Week 24: 37 units, 2 AF

Week 25: 34 units, 3 AF

Week 26: 32 units, 2 AF

Week 27: 18 units, 3 AF

all I know is that if the low weeks get lower, that must be a good sign. they say there will be ups and downs. I am having them too, and you just made me feel better by making me realize that my low weeks are lower now as well. must be something happening

Thanks for pointing out the positive, Joe! Trying to keep the faith, just getting a little frustrated.... I have to remind myself to remind myself that it took me a LONG time to nurture this addiction into a fire-breathing dragon; it will take a while, then -- certainly longer than I imagined at the start of TSM -- to slay it.

I've been thinking lately that I'm going to try a bit of the "train's slowing down, so I'm jumping off" willpower now that I'm nearing Week 30. Don't know how successful it will be, but we've seen others here have good results with a little brake-tapping once they have some self-control. I'll post my thoughts as I work on that....
