Oh dear god… the weigh-in during Phys-ed classes in Highschool – hated it hated it hated it! Awesome progress Andrei!! Well done! My Fitness pal and the fitbit flex are my best friends right now.
I don’t really care too much about the sleep monitoring. I have noticed though that the more I drop weight the better I sleep. With a little kid, sleep time is limited as is, though is much better quality now.
I agree with the trauma of the gym class weigh-ins. Min began in 6th grade. I have never forgotten, and that may have put me on a path to more weight gain as I accepted the “fat/chubby kid” identity.
But now you need to run an FFT on the data to see if you periodically cheated by eating certain foods, right? I mean, what else would a software engineer do with all that data? 🙂

Thanks 🙂 Glad to see I wasn’t alone with the weigh-ins. What do you think about the Flex’s sleep monitoring? Do you use it in any way?

Good job!

Hey Jan!
I’m actually trying to tweak my own diet so that I gradually evolve towards a much healthier and easier-to-cook diet with that data 🙂
On top of that, I am trying to help other people solve the same problem with my project http://www.ProgrammerFitness.com.
