Concept learned

Spikes fill Recently Gained Weight (drains in days). Trend lives in Left to Goal / baseline. Panic at AM without reading tank state is noise.

Journal moment

Tagged recovery days when Recently Gained Weight was draining, not when AM was perfect.

Pattern broken

Assuming every AM spike was new fat.

Why Leonardo joined

Leonardo is an engineer. One number on the scale was useless. The two-part model — Recently Gained Weight (short) + Left to Goal (baseline) — matched how weight actually behaves.

Day 6 — Recently Gained Weight fills

After hosting, AM jumped. Leonardo opened Tank view: Recently Gained Weight high, Left to Goal barely moved. Short-term water and meal weight — not a baseline reset.

Plateau week — Settlement

Flat AM for four days. Recently Gained Weight draining, baseline settling. The model said: stay consistent, let the cycle work — not restart the diet.

Dec 16 — Left to Goal moves

AM broke lower while Recently Gained Weight neared empty. Baseline direction: down. Leonardo exported the tank timeline for his own notebook.

Why he stayed

Dual Force separated "drain the carryover" from "protect the baseline." Two jobs, two parts, one dashboard.
