As a believer in the Quanitified Self philosophy ("self-knowledge through numbers", as it's simply described), I've been tracking various aspects of my personal life for the past several years. One of the most relevant ones for me is body weight. After years of recording my weight manually in a spreadsheet, I got a smart scale that syncs with Apple Health to make data collection more seamless, and made daily weigh-ins more practical. Now that I have over 7 years of usually at least weekly data (over 400 data points), I wanted to visualize the trends and correlate them with significant events like diets, vacations, and illnesses. One of the obvious insights was seasonal changes — if my weight was a stock, you could make a lot of money buying low in the summer (aftermath of getting in shape for swimsuit season) and selling high when the new year rolls around (aftermath of holidays and vacation gluttony). Time will tell, but I'm hoping to buck that trend in 2020.
