Trying to gain some stats please help me out.

It's almost embarrassing to post this' date=' but I keep incredibly detailed stats about my progress (I'm less than 10 weeks out) in a place where anyone can view them. Before anyone expresses concern over my "obsession" I just want to say it's more about me being obsessed about Excel than it is being obsessed about my weight. All I really do is enter my daily weight and occasionally note any "milestones" achieved. The spreadsheet does all the rest. Anyway, here's the link if you want to look at it: http://sdrv.ms/1aS4JYG

This data is amazing!!! I bow down to you! Statistics like these are an excellent way to look back on your progress! I am really in awe!

Just for the fun of it, I put a spreadsheet online for anyone who wants to play with the data collected in this topic: http://sdrv.ms/1bzBXk3.

Here's a screenshot:

Holy Moly!! I just started to put the data into excel haha!! This actually saved me a lot of time haha Thanks!

How will you use this data? Intellectual curiosity about the many dynamics is weight loss is interesting' date=' and it may be presuming here -- but I'm unclear how you will you use this data. Asking members to share information that may be part of a "research" study raises privacy concerns, esp. In light of the "beginning" statistical analysis. You may want to consider reviewing the sizable number of peer-reviewed scientific articles in nutrition, bariatric surgery VSG results, etc that have extensively accumulated unbiased data and analyzed statistically to report the results.[/quote']

This is not for scientific research, I mere suggested that I was doing a statistical analysis. I understand the biases and outliers presented in this forum and in no way will this information be used for a professional study. I come from a scientific background, and am having surgery myself. You are in no way required to participate in my own personal study.

If I wanted data such as you presented I would proceed to obtain the data in the utmost professional way including following the correct protocol for proving disclaimers of confidentiality. I hope I have made my point, if you have any further questions, please feel free to message me privately.

I also wanted to mention to everyone, like I said in my original post: there are so many people who feel like they are slow losers, and I am personally wanting to look into the numbers and percentages. Are people really experiencing a slow loss based on the averages. It is my prediction that people are not slow losers and are on track based on their height, starting weight and time out ratios. This is not a professional study, just my own curiosity. Since a concern has been brought up regarding my use of data, please feel free to message me, and you data will not be used. I do however intend to provide my findings to you if you have any questions please feel free to message me, and I will address them specifically in a non public forum.

It is not my intention to start a fight here.

There are so many forums each week that ask "how much have you lost, am I a slow loser etc" I am just trying to user stand that.

Just a reminder, I am PRE-op and will be having surgery on Halloween.

My curiosity wants me to get as much data as possible for my own benefit, and If others want the data results too, I am not Ethan happy to share it.

Thank you for helping me understand this data set by proving me with your data.

Cheers!

Will you post the results here on VST? I would be happy to share if you'll post it here to share with everyone else. I like this idea.
