you should get some weights and do 10 reps every time you make a post on TL
then youve already found some spare time, and you are now filling it with exercise Can you suggest the types of weights and types of exercises? If it's quick and easy to implement maybe I would do it. wasnt trying to be your personal doctor. you wanted to add more physicality to your day and you say you dont know how you would find spare time. time on TL is already spare time, which is the hardest part to sort out according to your posts. just do something, anything in the time. since you dont know how long you will have to sit on TL at a given time an exercise based on how long you are there seems suitable.
What are you basically is suggesting that I replace my time on TL with exercise. Noble, but this puts me in a bit of a conflict of interest LOL
The assumption that I have equal amounts of free time to TL-free time is not necessary founded though. On the other hand, it would be worth giving it a try.
The problem is most of my time on tl is done either early in the morning when I'm not primed to exercise, late at night when I need to go to bed, etc... so most of that time isn't good for exercising. I also tend to flip back and forth between tl and other things I am doing... for me flipping between accomplishing things and exercise may not work well.

update: I broke my final goal of 170 pounds... I'm in the upper 160s now. I'm going to shift my focus over to fitness (although I'm still going to maintain a reasonable diet). At some time in the future I will share my progress on that front.

just curious, how tall are you?
i just want to put the weight with a height.

About halfway between 5'10" and 5'11" (about 1.79 meters)

Completely unrelated. But how do you make that line which is the average of all points in excel ^^? I am dieing to find out, I have been searching for like an hour haha. I use excel 2007.

That line is a linear trendline. After you have the data graphed, right click on one of the data points carefully, and choose to add a trendline. From there, you have the options to change the characteristics of the trendline (polynomial, exponential, etc)

Thanks, I needed that for my physics report.

What graph are you constructing? Hanging mass added to a spring vs elongation? Position vs time? Voltage vs Current? :p

This is the formula: r^2=(2*U*m)/(q*B^2 ). Sin(a) is left out because a is 90 degrees. We fired electrons in a helmholtz coil so they make a circle. Calculate B, derive the constant from B=C*(I/R). C constitutes to this: (4/5)^3/2*µ0*N
So basically we are calculating the number of wire loops in the Helmholtz coil. We needed that linear trendline so we can take slope of that trendline to get the average 1/(q*B^2).

Oh, if that is the experiment you are doing then I am surprised you aren't already intimately familiar with features like trendlines in Excel. Another thing to consider is doing the data analysis yourself and then using the Excel Add-In "Solver" to minimize chi squared. (this will work for any theoretical equation... not just lines or the build in ones in the trend-line functionality)

I just never used excel, ever. I don't really understand your last point. Chi squared?

Referring to statistical methods for fitting data to a theoretical equation. I'm not going to go into detail now so if you don't need to do it, not a big deal :p
