My Weight over 18 Months

I work in IT and made some adjustments to my lifestyle. Here is my weight every Saturday over 18 months. I am surprised at the amount I still consume. Maybe more what, than how much. Main thing I have learned is that diet is about what you eat over a month, not a day. The massive slice of Snickers Cheesecake with ice-cream I had after last night won't impact my weight unless I do it regularly. Walk 2.8 miles daily (so Google fit tells me) Don't eat much bread, no butter Skimmed milk Porridge and fruit for breakfast Vegetable curry etc for lunch 4 or 5 pieces of fruit a day Lots of Coke Zero…

In plain words

My Weight over 18 Months is a personal weight-tracking spreadsheet documenting an IT professional's 18-month journey with lifestyle changes. It records weekly weigh-ins alongside dietary habits and exercise routines, including daily 2.8-mile walks and dietary choices like porridge for breakfast, vegetable curry for lunch, and moderate fruit consumption. The tracker demonstrates how consistent dietary patterns over time matter more than individual indulgences, offering practical insights into sustainable weight management through food choices and daily movement.

    1500cals is a calorie and excercise tracking tool that I built after losing 50kg myself in 2022 through simply watching what I ate and starting to exercise. The main "trick" I uncovered is simply to plan meals ahead. It sounds boring, it sounds annoying, but really its such a tiny effort for such outsized and life changing rewards that it should be a no-brainer. The existing tools I found were more focused on tracking after eating which is great in terms of capturing data and measuring over time, but I found really didn’t help me with locking in a routine. I wanted to fix this and bring some…

  • Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

    Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
