There's not just the distance when it's on my side of the room, there's obstruction by the bed, covers, etc. since I was putting it on the ground on my side of the room. That's what I'll try next cycle. No joy this past cycle. She isn't gaining, just not losing.
Distance and obstructions definitely decrease volume at the ear.
Was she gaining, holding or losing when the volume was high or medium level?
When we first started using the sub she began losing, dropped about 5 lbs in about 2 weeks as I recall. Then she stalled and started going backward, but never as far back as when she started (at least if she did she didin't report it to me). At that point I had it at medium volume with the bluetooth speaker on her side of the room.
During the same period I lost 7 or 8 lbs and also stopped. I hold steady (with momentary ups and downs of a couple days) at ~190lbs. I do not change substantially whether we're listening to the sub regularly or on break. I think for me it has done what it's going to do. I feel my muscles are still doing ok, though since covid began have felt a bit weaker, probably due to a break from the workout regimen which had worked for me for several months which I found impossible to reproduce adequately without gym equipment, though we spent hundreds of dollars' worth on home equipment which I did use faithfully.
She quickly found ways to reproduce her workout regimen at home--we bought weights and got my old bench out and set her up in the extra bedroom. She actually likes working out at home. I'm not that hot on it for the reasons I mentioned above. But now that I'm back at the gym, the muscles seem weaker but I feel better, except greatly increased joint pain, which may harken back to trying to workout in less than adequate ways.
I started again last night with the sub playing on the floor on my side of the room and I'll go back to the 4 days on 1 day off routine to see if this changes something. I'm starting to wonder if there isn't something about the messages in the sub that her subconscious simple can't go along with. She doesn't have headaches or tension, though she has gotten angry more often which I was attributing to covid restrictions anxiety (the California governor is the most strict AND invasive of the governors in the US-- e.g. we are supposed to wear masks in our own homes at Thanksgiving, and any family gathering).
Any thoughts about beliefs she might have that the sub might be running up against?
Still wondering if you think after all this time it might be good to give it a try just running it wall-to-wall, say 20 hours a day till we get a breakthrough?
