Ok, quick question!
I'm a bit of a geek and love nothing more than recording stuff. On Sunday (my Exante day 1) I went to town and got myself some bits and bobs to help me track and record my 'journey'.
I got an index card box (here) and some plain and coloured index cards (these, but in 5x3) to go in it, along with a mini pen to fit in the box and a stapler.
The plan is, every day I write a quick summary of how i've done, how i'm feeling, how much water i've been drinking etc etc, kinda like a diary. I got me some little gold stars to put in the top corner each day i'm 100% (see! Told u i'm a geek!).
I weighed myself at Boots on Sunday and stapled the little slip it produces with my weight and stats to the back of a coloured index card. That way I know at a glance all the green index cards are weigh days and have all the info attached to the back of them from Boots, along with the days summary on the front.
I'm actually embarrassed by how 'organisational' this all is! But hey ho - whatever helps, I guess.
Anyway, getting to the point of this thread - I wondered if anybody had any ideas of a way to make a tiny graph to fit on one of my 5x3 index cards to show the (hopefully) downward curve of my weightloss!
I figure I need 100lbs in 1lbs increments down the side, and week numbers along the bottom. But it's such a tiny piece of paper, i'm not sure how I can go about it!
Anybody have any ideas?
