Tracking My Weight Over The Years

For the past five years, I have been recording my weight daily.  This year, I’ve finally given up on weighing myself daily, and have reduced it to weighing myself weekly.  As part of the change, I have finally combined the logs from the different years into one.  This has allowed me to track how my weight has changed over this time, and not just over a one year period.

You can draw a few conclusions immediately:

1. Despite a plateau from March 2009 to October 2010, my weight has been rising over the past few years.
2. Each year, my weight generally peaks at the end of December.
3. Despite a number of periods of brief weight loss (generally due to illness), I consistently regain and gradually increase my weight.
4. I need to lose weight.  And it is going to take time to lose it. After all, it has taken over 3 years to add it.
