When is "Starting Weight" weighing day??

Now here comes the pedantic side of me-- yet again. -- don' read unless you are strange like me.  The first thing I ever do when starting a weight loss kick is to make a graph -- !!! LOL

Should we measure our starting weight as
1 - The day we decide to do this
2 - The day we start doing what we are told -- eg Opti
3 - The highest weight we've ever been
4 - Surgery day

I personally don't  like number 1 as I have put ON weight since then,  and we may decide to do this years before we can afford it etc..  Number 3 is for me the same as 1 -- but when comparing yourself to others this is not useful as others may have started a year or more ago.  Well done to them for losing the weight but it shouldn't  be used as comparative measure.  Opti is also a changing target depoending on surgeon/dietician.
I believe this leaves number 4 as the winner when it comes to SW measurement for comparrison.
Perhaps we should have the following

• HW - Highest weight ever
• 
  
  OW - Weight when starting Opti -  or controlled eating pre-surgery
  
• 
  
  BW - Banded weight -- the day we get the band put in
  
• 
  
  BW+1 - 1 mth after banding
  
• BW+2 - 2 mth after banding ----etc
  

I know this doesn't matter really -- but honestly I am doing this so I don't go to the fridge again -- so bare with me!!

I have now successfully argued my case for changing my starting weight and I now have a month to get it down under the 130kg -- so I never have to acknowledge that number again!!!!

yay----hehehehehe

It had nothing to do with comparing my weight loss to anyone elses -- we are all different -- but at least I can now fudge my figures -- method in madness!!!
