Weigh in: Time for a change
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and see some of my favourite posts! Thanks for visiting!
I weighed in at 97.8 kgs (216 pounds) this morning. That’s down 1.9 kgs from last week which is fairly meaningless as my weight fluctuated quite a lot on the day of my weigh in last week.
As such, I’ve decided I’m going to switch to displaying my Physics Diet weight. With the physics diet you weigh yourself everyday and it works out a moving average. I’ll still continue to report this once a week.
As such my weight is now officially 98.1 kgs which is down .5 kg from last week.
My average daily calorie deficit for the week was 674 calories and my BMI is 28.2. You can see my public profile here if you are interested in taking a look.
Hopefully using the Physics Diet system will enable me to focus more on my weightloss trend rather than the specific number on the day of my weigh in.
As an aside I had something rather funny happen over the weekend. I put my ipod touch down on the roof of my car while I was putting some groceries in the boot and then drove off with it still on the roof. I was almost home before I remembered. Luckily for me I have stuck my ipod touch in a rubber sheath to protect it from being dropped and knocked about (I’m a little rough on electronic goods at times) and the rubber had gripped the car and it was still on the roof when I pulled over to check! Good on Apple for making low profile devices!
Sounds like you have a good plan worked out. I hate those weigh fluctuations that make weigh ins go bad, I mean how can I weigh 148 one day, and 150 the next? Just crazy. Good for you.
And also, whew on the ipod being “stuck” to your roof. Those things are darn expensive!

Congratulations on the loss, no matter which one it is.
And thanks for sharing the iPod story. I have a red rubber cover on my beloved iPhone. It’s nice to know it might truly save my phone someday!

Oh yes! Those rubber covers are lifesavers! Money well spent.

The Physics Diet system sounds like a great idea!
And about the ipod, that happened to me once, only it was with my cellphone. I didn’t have any sort of cover on it but it stayed on the roof the entire ride home. I couldn’t believe it.

Congrats on the weight loss - I’ll be interested to hear if changing to the moving average method has an effect on your thought processes or actions regarding the weight loss. Lucky with the ipod !

One other question - how do you do that “Countdown to my races” thing in your sidebar? I like the idea - is it a standard Wordpress widget ?

It’s a plugin called Countdown Timer.

Wow - so impressed by your ipod! So lucky!!
I don’t really get maths and statistics (that’s probably why I failed statistics at Uni hey…) but a system that shows overall trends rather than minor fluctuations seems like a much smarter system to me!
