Two years of weight tracking

I have been tracking my weight for just over two years on our Wii Fit. Watching my weight over that time is like looking at the stock report of an actively traded stock. The day-to-day "prices" fluctuate, but my long-term trend has been down. Here are some of my significant data points:

12/15/2008 264.6 (Obese)
*** Get Wii Fit, early Christmas present ***
03/21/2009 246.5 (Before a cruise to Mexico)
03/30/2009 254.9 (After the cruise)
06/06/2009 239.9 (Recovery)
08/13/2009 248.2 (Summer camping trip)
10/17/2009 234.8 (Recovery)
01/06/2010 243.8 (Birthday - Holidays)
03/04/2010 233.7 (Recovering)
*** I am no longer obese, just overweight ***
07/16/2010 203.3 (Discipline)
08/14/2010 211.2 (Camping again)
10/03/2010 201.1 (Recovery)
01/05/2011 217.8 (Birthday - Holidays again)
01/16/2011 210.8 (Recovery under way)

The valuable information for me is seeing my weak points, the times and events where I am most likely to sabotage myself.

Changing analogies, I can envision my progress and goals as an archery target. These numbers are for a 6'2" male, so says Wii. If I had one more ring I'd set it at 199 just because it will be fun to get below 200.

So, that's where I've been, where I am, and where I'm going. Until next time, keep growing up into childhood.
