I have been tracking my weight since I was born in 1997. I decided to plot it.

I used the journals from my school to get the dates and weights. I was also weighed as a baby and I have records of this. For plotting, I used matplotlib and the XKCD style option to get the hand-drawn vibe of the plot.

Sweet tracking, congrats on the weight loss since the pandemic!

Why are you so light? What is you height and gender?

> Why are you so light? What is you height and gender?

163 cm, male.

Is there a program for the hand-drawn look?

youre even taller than me, im 158cm and sitting at 72kg, i was hovering around 80kg last year, i managed to drop a few kg the past few months.

what are you on? or am i just too fat? XD

EDIT: Stupid me, i forgot my height, Im 178cm, not 158cm, i get confused this late at night. im more familiar with imperial system when it comes to heights, lol.

Thank you for being kind to the dude who didn't read your comment

for all it is worth it, you can just https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi-m.htm and see the answer

That's a fine weight. I weigh the same although I'm slightly taller than him.

From 2000-2012, you had quite the eating problem. Glad you got it under control.

Why’d the gain train stop in 2016?

You’re all speaking in tongues. What is this cm kg jibberish?

Funnily enough, BMI isn't actually unitless. It has the units of kg/m^(2).

it is this weird measure unit used on planet Earth majority of nations. The rest of the galaxy is obviously using the proper units of random feet, as defined by the great emperor of Mars on the year of the horse 10 millenniums ago.

Well now you’re talking sense

Now you’ve really thrown me off. I’m just kidding. I realize how ridiculous our system of measures is in the US. I was making fun of us, not you.

He turned 19 that year, so probably just stopped growing

How did you know to do this straight outta womb?

Some ppl are just built different

I am 189 and have the same shape as your plot with same age. However 5 kilos more shifted upward

> The rest of the galaxy is obviously using the proper units of random feet, as defined by the great emperor of Mars on the year of the horse 10 millenniums ago.

We shouldn't pretend that the meter is not arbitrary as well. The point shouldn't be that the feet is arbitrary. The point should be that imperial systems are highly inconsistent and isn't "nice" to work with.

I think your styling is hurting your story here. I believe the 'thicker' lines look that way due to an increase in data points. This leads one to believe there is a factor of something during this time.

I would try to find a way to better represent a cleaner story across your time axis unless there is an outside factor you want this graph to tell us. You could use a running average to reduce the variability or simply use the same timescale as your childhood years.

How tall are you? You pretty weak if your 60

OP said he’s 163cm

I see. Thought he was somewhere 180+

> How did you know to do this straight outta womb?

All babies are weighed and monitored here (Sweden). You can see that I have struggled to gain appropriate weight during various periods in my childhood (look at 2004 and 2013), which just prompted more monitoring from the authorities and my elementary school.

It wasn't too hard to get those records.

I'm kinda similar in weight but 9 cm taller, I've dabbled in low BMI levels

Meter isn't random any more. It's specified by the distance light travels in a set amount of time.

The foot however is actually defined based on meter since 1959. As in one third of a yard which is defined as 0.9144m.

I started tracking my weight two weeks ago as I finally decided to try and gain some weight, thanks for this friendly reminder

Still arbitrary.
