Since Joining - my chart

I saw a question in another post about how often people weigh? I weigh every day - because I like that I can put in a lower number and get a little self-gratification in seeing a difference on paper, if not in the mirror.

On the other hand, if I "blow it" and eat too much or eat wrong food, I can see the results in the the numbers - and my trend line moves up. I like the trend line to move down ... ;)

The blue lines & dots are my digital scale at home, in the AM, no clothes, before showering. The red dots and line are the "official" weigh-ins at Weight Watchers with clothes, but not shoes, on.

What's prompted me to post this - an NSV - two people this morning mentioned I looked like I lost weight! And I recently moved into my new jeans, size 40, down from 44. :)

Hope this helps - this is a chart I built in Excel.

    Excel is a great tool for me as well. It really does help keep the focus on the big picture. I've put 3 separate control lines on my chart as well. 1lb/week 2lb/week and 3lb/week. Trying to keep the trend line between the 2 and 3 is the trick.

    Thanks everyone. :)@Forewiz, that's a cool idea ... I'm going to play around with that.
