    Ain't nothing wrong with bein' a nerd. I've made charts and graphs for my own personal amusement before.

    I have weights graphed all the way back to 7/1/10 but not calories. I haven't been consistent on counting. It would be a cooler graph if I could document my entire weight loss journey...

    Apparently everyone wants to be nerdy! I've gotten some requests of the spreadsheet. So if anyone else wants it, PM me your address. I'll send it, and hopefully some instructions. Minimal excel skills are required... :tongue:

    As an accountant, one of the most frustrating things about losing weight is that, in the end, it's a mathmatical equation. Right? It's just that darn variable - metabolism - that is challenging to forecast/predict. Love that there are other "nerds" out there who think like me and use excel with their own journey!
    Yep, another accountant here. I love my excel and I have my spreadsheet too with 4 tabs. What I hate about MFP is when you update your calories today fo ryour new weight it goes back to the past and changes what your goal was. That is why I need the spreadsheet. Plus I calculate my average calories per day for the last weeks to figure my average daily burned calories. (I add back the calorie deficit based on my actual weight lost.) We need a dork group I think.

    Do you have SPSS? It is really hard to tell correlation without it. If you send me the spreadsheet I could actually do the correlational analysis...I may of just out-nerded you. Message me if you want I will give you my e-mail.

    Hey, another nerd (CPA) here. But I just work with MFP and don't chart it on Excel, but maybe I should start since my weight reduction from six months ago to now has resulted in an IMMATERIAL DIFFERENCE!!!

    Pretty awesome - and it makes me want to chart my calories even more closely now. I'd love to see my own graph over the next 12 months!

    That's what I've always disliked as well!
