    You are awesome in your awesomeness....
    I too am a data nerd in my day job and came to a similar plan as yours the more data I'm collecting the better for me (I am also doing ww so tracking points and calories)

    But I have yet to conquer the scales in an analytical way (ie to much of a wuss to weigh every day)... And I've only just begun.

    Love your work!

    lol i love this! MFP should have something similar to this so that everyone can log in their daily weight and make their own graphs. It would help with motivation and stop us from panicking when we do put on some weight.

    As many people mentioned before, there are very good tools such as trendweight and libra which you could use to visualize your weight trend!

    All you have to do is enter daily weigh-ins and it will calculate stuff for you, make a nice, pretty plot:P

    I'm going to quote someone from another post:
    I think graphing is the absolute best way to get real info out of the scale. I don't do it the way the OP has - too much work for me! - but instead, I use trendweight.com on the web or Libra on android. Trendweight looks like this:

    The beauty of this is that the moving average lets you find out what your calorie deficit is and use that to plan your weight loss.

    True, however, getting one's nerd on and having the equations behind the tool is so much fun! (If you are that way inclined of course. I am, others might not be and there's nothing wrong with that :smile: ).

    Good stuff, thank you for sharing! My TDEE coefficient comes in at a steady 150%.

    I added another constant - "Burn Coeff". The reason is that I'm showing a 150% TDEE, which is not consistent with my actual lifestyle. By having a knob for exercise calories, I can dial in the appropriate TDEE coefficient.

    The good news is that it appears I've been underestimating my burn, especially for the last 2 months, by about 20%. So TDEE coeff of 135% and a Burn Coeff of 120%.

    Awesome. How much would you charge to do mine? :smile:

    I could write you a haiku in exchange.
