My weight charts
I have two main weight charts that I am using to track my weight. The first encompasses all of my weigh-ins for the current year (2008). I try to track my weight every week; this gives a very nice view of my weight for the year. The following chart shows my progress for the year. Note the darker line at 290 pounds: this was the weight I started at back in 1997.
I have been tracking my weight since I first consciously started trying to lose weight back in 1997. My starting weight then was 290 pounds. The 290 mark is is bold on this chart, too, to reflect that. As you can see from this chart, I spent an awful lot of the 00’s above that line. As long as my weight is below that line, I know that I am on the right track:
My weekly weigh-in is done at my home on my home scale. It’s a very controlled weigh-in, since I can strip down to my skivvies. I weigh myself every Saturday morning at right around the same time. I know that this provides a very accurate weigh-in on my scale FOR my scale. However, one can show differences from scale to scale.
My WeightWatchers weigh-in is done every Tuesday afternoon. While the time is the same each week, my weight varies depending on what I am wearing (I can’t go into the meeting in my skivvies [grin]), whether I had lunch or not that day, what I had for breakfast, what I’ve had to drink, etc. Between those variables and the different days of the week, my weigh-in at WeightWatchers is always higher than on my home scale.
And so, being the number freak that I am, I decided to figure out what the median difference is between my weigh-in on my scale on Saturday morning, and my weigh-in on Tuesday afternoons at WeightWatchers. The median should eliminate the differences between the two, and reassure me that I am actually losing weight. And it makes for an ultra-cool chart:
I love graphs and charts and numbers, so you can expect to see more of these in the future. 
[...] done okay lately, as you can see either by my recorded weight up there, or by taking a look at my weight charts. Either way, you can see a definite weight loss over the last couple of weeks. Which is very cool [...]
