My Bouncing Ball Stairway Chart

Pami · 03-31-2012, 08:57 AM

In honor of Pat (SoHappy)- cuz it's her bouncing ball on a staircase analogy-
and at Yam-Yam's request- just cuz I

her, here is my most current chart:

If anyone else has a chart to share, why not post it as a reply in this thread?

Beeb · 03-31-2012, 08:59 AM

This should be a sticky! It just shows that there really is no concern with that bouncing scale number!

Thanks Pami, this is a wonderful thread!

Majella · 03-31-2012, 09:03 AM

Wow great idea!! And what a good looking chart Pami

I only started mine a few days ago but I'll post it up in a month or so

sophiethecat · 03-31-2012, 09:06 AM

Thanks for putting this up, Pami!

It just goes to show that sometimes being a JUDDD Bud takes nerves of steel!

You have to adjust mentally to the bounces, cause JUDDD is a bouncy thing, and some courageous folks may have to grit their teeth through a REALLY BIG BOUNCE here and there ... but if you stay the course, you'll see marvelous, wonderful things!

JUDDD rox!

Yam-Yam · 03-31-2012, 09:24 AM

Thanks, Pami!!! Your chart is truly a JUDD BUDD must as a visual aid!!!

I've been charting my losses and gains on graph paper by hand every day ('cos I can't figure out how to get it on a daily chart on the computer. Tried, but I need to be educated!!!)

As I said elsewhere, I've come to love the bounces! When it bounces up, it's proof I have nourished my body, am doing the right thing to speed up my metabolism and last but not least I will have what it takes to get me through the coming DD!!! That way I can stay the course!!!

I agree this should be a sticky and that anyone else who has a chart they can post, should!!!

mayleesa · 04-01-2012, 08:51 AM

oooh subscribing i love a good chart!

Yam-Yam · 04-01-2012, 08:51 AM

Yay! It worked!!! Thanks, Pami!

This is my March daily weight chart (the break is where I didn't weigh one day because I was at a hotel and had forgotten my scale in the car trunk in a rain storm!)

But, it sure shows how "the scale she bounces!"

Everybody can see it's going down, though! I'm happy about this!

sophiethecat · 04-01-2012, 08:52 AM

Great chart, Yam!

I don't know how to make one. Maybe I can get my numbers together and give it to one of you experts to plug into a chart? You need the weights and the dates? Anything else?

Or if you can show me where to make one maybe I can figure it out.

Momto2boysNJ · 04-01-2012, 08:54 AM

I don't have one for just doing Juddd, but I have one from when I first started losing weight in January 2009. Let me go find it.

Cool! We would love to see it! We love charts!!

Sophie: I don't know how to do it either. Pami was so gracious to offer to do this for me so I copied and pasted my March numbers and PM'd them to Pami. I just love how JUDD BUDDS help each other out!!!

mattsmama · 04-01-2012, 09:07 AM

Wow! -25 pounds!!!!!

JUDD

And you rocked JUDD!!!

P.S. For some peeps who might not know, click on the chart and you will see a larger image of it.

So cool!!!!

Please keep the charts a comin'!!!

mattsmama · 04-01-2012, 09:33 AM

Thanks, Yam-Yam!!
We are all doing such an amazing job of being patient, and letting JUDDD work it's "magic".
I have experienced so many other benefits besides the weight loss (although I will admit, that is one of my favorite "side effects"

). I am finally sleeping so much better than before. I used to have terrible insomnia. I would only sleep a few nights in a month. Now, I sleep all the way through the night, and wake up, full of happiness and energy, ready to go!

Yes, let's get those charts out there, folks!

sunday · 04-01-2012, 10:53 AM

Thank you to everyone! How are you making chart? Is it excel?

All of you are my heros!!!

Hazelsmrf · 04-01-2012, 12:08 PM

I use this spreadsheet on Google docs, it creates a chart:

I do mine in Excel, but there are of other ways to do them. If you don't use MS Office, you can download a free suite of programs at openoffice,org that will allow you to create documents that are compatible with Office. Or like Julie said, there are templates available- she linked one on Google Docs.

shirlc · 04-02-2012, 06:36 AM

Here's mine...the long step up was our February cruise. I am confident I will get down to where I was before that again! (My chart is from ******...I uploaded it as an attachment.)

Kissa · 04-02-2012, 07:02 AM

I love these charts. So encouraging for the newbies.

Scotty · 04-02-2012, 07:05 AM

How do I input my ****** chart? I am an idiot with these things...
It's not pretty....but maybe will help someone..

I can tell you how I did it:

I have Windows 7, so therefore used "snipping tool" to save the image of my weight chart to a jpeg. Then I went to the top of the page and looked at "FAQ" and found "reading and posting images"...then found my answer under "attachments and images." Hope this helps!

Momto2boysNJ · 04-02-2012, 07:50 AM

I did mine with excel.

vanilla_latte · 04-02-2012, 08:48 AM

This thread is awesome.

I got to looking at my chart that I have in an app on my iPhone and although my chart is in bouncing mode deluxe, it does show the overall trend is going down, baby.

I'm going to see if I can screenshot, email it home, download it here at work and upload it. That'll be like going to New York by way of Hawaii, I think.

vanilla_latte · 04-02-2012, 09:14 AM

Oops, need to make it bigger

vanilla_latte · 04-02-2012, 09:15 AM

Oops need to make it bigger

Arg .. how do you delete a post???

I'll leave the pic as is. You can see the blue line that shows a downward trend.

Yam-Yam · 04-03-2012, 12:01 PM

Vanilla: I clicked on the image and it got big enough that I could see it better. I don't think we have a delete option, do we? When I want to delete something, I click the edit button and then just delete what I wrote and write something else.

Yam-Yam · 04-03-2012, 12:02 PM

Love these charts and I want to see more!!! Please??

KeirasMom · 04-03-2012, 12:11 PM

I'm technically challenged and can't get my Excel spreadsheet to make a graph.
