In an effort to become more efficient in my weight loss goals, I have been enumerating nearly every aspect of the process. I keep it all in an spreadsheet where I keep track of weight loss (lbs/percentages/totals), BMI calculations and variances, and miles biked/walked.
I figured that a chart of daily weight loss averages over time would trend similarly to a chart of daily miles biked over time - however, I was quite surprised.
A chart of my daily weight loss average starts out predictably high and tapers off as time goes by. It is natural that I would lose more weight in a shorter amount of time at the beginning. The decline is beginning to piss me off.
The average daily cycling mileage is shown above. The line is obviously sporadic due to the uneven nature of my cycling schedule. Aside from a similar uptick in early February, the weight loss over time does not seem to be affected by the miles biked over time.
I realize that this doesn't take calorie intake into account, nor does it take into account the type of workout (few long, high-mileage rides as opposed to several short, low-mileage rides) but I would still expect to see some correlation between the two data sets. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Any advice on how to rejuvenate my weight loss numbers?
