Now I remember what I forgot. I’ll add height and sex to my top level comment (31M, 5’ 9.5”).

I also thought age would be better than the date but I couldn’t get the axis labels to be more frequent than every 2 years which I didn’t like so stuck with date.

Definitely agree it could be improved visually. I’d normally make such a visual in Excel which is more robust than G Sheets but I’m currently in between jobs and not paying MS for an Office license on my personal laptop so I did what I could.

Thanks for the feedback!

I used to get responses much more quickly and had no problems getting interviews. Now, even for someone with my experience, it's taking a lot longer and I'm seeing many more of my applications getting ignored. Finally, to have two good companies shut me down after hiring me, both stating it was due to the bad economy, and both in quick succession, is something I've not seen before.

I like the indications of BMI brackets. Height would be a good thing to add, though based on the brackets I can tell you're approximately 5'10. I'd have preferred to see age on the X axis instead of year. I think this is an effective way to present the data -- styling could improve beauty, though that is not my forte. If there were relevant events (e.g. started a diet) you could add those to the timeline.

I make it happen.

Psst- I’m gonna let you in on a secret. His apparent dedication to extreme body change for all his roles has actually just been a cover for a long time Eddie Murphy style project.

Chris will be starring in Scary Movie 7 and will play every character in the movie. Took 10 years to shoot with me whipping him into and out of shape as needed for the different characters. See it in theaters on Halloween 2023.

I've been tracking my weight fairly consistently from age 17-31 using the iOS app "Lose It!" which I also have used off and on to count calories while trying to lose weight. I exported the data to CSV from their website and created the visual in Google Sheets.

ETA: 31M, 5’ 9.5”

ETA2: Here's a version with age instead of date. It messed up some of my data labels and I didn't feel like taking the time to reset them and tediously redelete most of them so there's no weight labels on the main peaks/ valleys like the original.

As a native Californian, can we stop calling these folks Californian? Most of them come to the bay area or LA for a decade, participate in insane NIMBYism while they live here, and fuck off to whatever part of the country they came from once they fill their loot bags. They fuck up our communities by turning them into commodities which price out locals who would like to stay and then go and do the same thing when they return home. Rinse and repeat.
