Weightwatcher

American food definitely can become a problem for people used to European dishes. Even if you stay away from Hamburgers and other types of fast food, it is hard to maintain an aspheric body shape.

Here is my approach: In this self-experiment I’ll weigh myself frequently and put the results online. I rather leave out dinner from time to time instead of than disgrace myself by getting fatter online. ;-)

I am using Google Docs to record the weight. The chart below is generated and updated automatically by Google whenever the data changes.

    Hi Manuel,

    I think you have to eat only “light” products without fat and without flavor ;)

    Hi Manuel,
    na, die Grafik hast Du ja im letzten Jahr auch schon erfolgreich bemüht ;-) . Da werden wir wohl kein Überraschungen bzgl. der äußeren Erscheinung Deines Bodys (ansonsten schreibe ich in Deutsch :-) ) erleben, wenn Du zurückkommst.
    Viele Grüße
    Angelika

    Being skinny is not part of the American Dream. And what happened to the Fast-Food-Nation-Tour™. You better go out right now and stuff your face with pizza.

    Since I am addicted to charts I embrace the GoogleDocs chart. Unfortunately they do not scale the axis correctly for time series. But still, keep up the good work. Have you planned to participate in running events already?

    I am only starting to get rid of my weekends. For May I’ve registered for the Five Boro Bike Tour and for the Wall Street Run. Apart from that, I do not have made plans yet. But I’ve collected a list from your blog for things that I want to do. ;-)
