This page is going to show the scary truth of my weight and given that I possess numerous gadgets, from blood pressure monitors to speak your weight body composition monitors, I ought to be able to include a whole variety of other stats.

To date, I have lost a total of 7 stone over a period of 6 years. Unfortunately I didn’t keep records until fairly recently. I tend to find that my weight loss occurs in steps and sometimes it can be a struggle to push myself from the plateau. The chart below shows how I have pushed myself through numerous weight loss phases over the last year and shows, quite frighteningly, what happens when I take my eye of the ball.

I’m hoping that by being so open in the blog, I will be encouraged to keep regular updates and therefore keep a check of any weight increases. I could have saved myself a lot of hassle last year just by staying exactly as I was!

I’ve recently discovered The Hackers Diet which uses engineering principles to reduce the noise from charts like the one above to allow the actual trend to be extracted. The suggestion is that people who struggle with their weight have an inefficient feedback system so fail to stop eating at the optimum point and likewise fail to cut back following a pig out. By using trend data you can actually use the spreadsheet as your feedback system, in a sort of aid to maintenance.

Check out the official Hackers site for details and the spreadsheets.
