trivia, averaging weights

I have done this for a while, since around the beginning of this year when
my weightloss was in what seemed to be a major plateau and I wanted to watch
the trend a little closer. We have had a few conversations about it here.
I just wanted to put out a little trivia. I looked carefully, at the total
loss week by week, on this thing, and compared it to my official total loss.

The general trend of the average weights is a much smoother graph than the
official ww graph. Very few sharp ups and downs. I think the WW scale is
temporarily affected by the numbers of people who get on the thing.

There are weeks when the total official loss was as much as 3 pounds More
than my average, and weeks when the official loss was as much as 2 pounds
Less than my average. This past 6 weeks of maintenance the official and the
average were nearly the same in the start, but right this minute, the
Official is lagging 2 pounds behind the average. I predict tomorrow They
will catch up (I plan on being one of the first on the scale) and I will get
to lifetime with a bang. ! .

we shall see.

Can you tell I was an accountant before I became a nurse?

I keep 3 totals, my weekly loss, a 4 week running average and a chart since
day one. The 4 week running average is a great tool as it does mitigate
the ups and downs for a better look at your recent history.

Fred there is a TON of travel between those two professions, but I never
heard anyone with Quite my story I was a partner in a C.P.A. firm when I
decided to go back to school to get my RN. I cashed out of the partnership
and used the money to go to school for the RN. My partners were to say the
least a bit Freaked. As was pretty much everyone. They all saw it as a big
step down. I saw it as "retiring" to do what I had always wanted to do,
even as a small child. I was the only one in my nursing class who was
uniformly delighted with every experience. Lots of people asked me why I
did not go for a nurse practitioner degree at least, and I was frank in
telling them that I had no intention of ever working That hard again.
