So I've been trying to figure out the best way to VISUALIZE my success.
Also, I'm a total math nerd, so I had to do it RIGHT - which is why it took me 2+ weeks to figure this out.
So, I'll be charting my success using Excel, and then generating a graph and posting it with each Weigh-In post from here on out.
I decided to chart the number of pounds that I have lost / have left to loose, mainly because I've been so pedantic about the whole 122 number... ;o) Also, it is a better visualization for me because the x-axis represents ZERO (as in "I have zero pounds left to loose") rather than my goal weight - which, theoretically, one could use to figure out my CURRENT (or, god forbid, beginning) weight, which is nunya bizness.
Next, I had to estimate the amount of time that this whole process might take. And again, MATH NERD HERE, so I had to use some sort of science to come across that number. SO... Weight Watchers claims that 'healthy weight loss' averages between 0.5 and 2 lbs per week. If you average those two numbers, you get 1.25lbs/week. Divide that into 122 lbs and bam-boom-plomp you get 97.6 weeks. So I extrapolated the data out and set the graph to end on 11/12/13.
(I'm not even going to START with how excited I was to find out that my 'theoretical goal date was 11-12-13..)
So, there you go. Like you cared.
