And to follow up...
I have been stuck @ 198 for a month now since posting this. I'm not upset since I had such a tear from February thru May but I am ready to get moving again soon!
Truth is I am thankful I am bouncing 197-199 instead of 199-201, that would suck mentally seeing 200 every other day0 -
This is so helpful, thank you. I've downloaded the app - I think this is just what I need right now. I'm struggling with spikes as well and I think that recording the data this way will help keep me focused on the long view.
Cheers and CONGRATULATIONS on your success!0 -
I am a big believer in weighing daily too. I love my charts! I love to see when and how my body spikes. Right now, I tend to see a weekly low spike one day a week and then I normally go back up slightly lower than the week before. I also like to have the data to go back on. When I feel like the weight is coming off to slow, I look back at the previous weeks and that even though I've been stuck in the same .4 lb range all week, I'm down 2 lbs since this day last week. Yesterday, I looked up my weight from December 2011 (my Vegas trip)....and I had it on record! Data is a wonderful thing and I enjoyed reading your story.0

Great job and thank you for sharing your story. Spikes can be so discouraging so thanks for the perspective.0

6 weeks stuck @ 198 now. What to do? I know! Book a short vacation at an all inclusive and eat whatever the heck I want to for 5 days! Two weeks and counting until the trip. Sorted!0

First of all, congrats OP! Secondly, I'm so super psyched that there are so many other "data" nerds out there. I had no idea that so many other people were as addicted to charting and "Excelling" as I am LOL. It makes my inner nerd smile :-D.
On a similar note, I also weigh daily as I've found it keeps me on track and more aware of trends versus spending a whole week bummed that I "gained" a pound or two on my weekly weigh in day. And thanks for telling us about the app Libra. I checked it out and really like it! I still use Excel but don't want to spend a butt load of time formatting the perfect graph in Excel when Libra does it all for me :-).0 -
Thanks OP and sincere congrats! Enjoy your vacation and enjoy some yummy food, just keep moving and you will have a great time! I'm not a nerd and must admit to gravitating to the success stories with pics0

THANK YOU for being who you are, and for 'swimming in' that data, and for putting your story 'out there', for others to see (and undoubtedly be encouraged by, relieved by, inspired by, and most important of all -- informed by)...! WAY TO GO!
Ditto!0 -
Fantastic! So glad you shared all that data!! I am weighing myself every day and know a lot of people say you shouldn't. I am working on the psychology of all of this - I feel I need to see the little gain I had this morning...but if I am tracking my food intake and moving more, the data shows that little gain will drop again tomorrow or the next day.
In the past, a little gain was so discouraging and I would have to fight myself not to give up. Thanks again - very encouraging0 -

HAHA! My electronics are neat, the rest of my life is not
Glad you all enjoyed the data! My next exciting chart will be 6 weeks of a flat line. Here is a preview:
