Weight loss (Y) with Normally distributed data.

Minitab's Normality Test produces a probability plot with a summary of the data statistics and a p-value for the Anderson Darling Normality Test. With my actual data from weight measurement this probability plot shows a relatively straight line. This indicates that the data may be Normally distributed. The p-value of 0.167 is above 0.05, which fits to the plot of Normally distribution.

Moving Range Chart.

I use moving range (MR) charts to assess whether process variation is in control when my data are individual measurements. The MR chart from historical weight data, "base" and "weight loss" phases, consists of:

· Plotted points for the moving range, which is the absolute value of the difference between two consecutive points.
· Center line (green), which is the average of all the moving ranges.
· Control limits (red), which are located above and below the center line and provide a visual display for the amount of variation expected in the moving ranges.

The MR chart for the weight data (Y) can be summarized as follows:

· The lower and upper control limits are 0 and 1811 g, respectively. Therefore, the moving ranges are expected to fall between 0 and 1811 g. The center line is 554 g.

· None of the individual observations fall outside the control limits. Furthermore, the points inside the limits display a random pattern. This MR chart does not provide any evidence for lack of control. Thus, the process variation is in control.

· The phases "base" and "weight loss" do not show any significant differences.

How to find the right starting weight for the project? Collecting data from my bathroom scale over a range of 44 days I calculated an average of 94,6 kg.

The SPC Chart (Statistical Process Control) for individuals (I-Chart) shows a time series plot of the data within control limits. The control limits (red lines) are set at three standard deviations away from the average (green line): Upper control limit (UCL) = 96,0 kg. Lower control limit (LCL) = 93,2 kg. Variation within the control limits = + / - 1,4 kg. Four measurements are outside of the expected control limits. Test 1 of the SPC tests fails.

Searching for improvements in weight control I found "The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss from Dr. Vincent Bellonzi". His experience: Diets don't work.

He recomments to identify a lifestyle that makes it easy to control your weight:

1. Eating breakfast
2. Eating three meals a day
3. Get enough sleep (7,5h)
4. Exercise daily, physical activities needed
4. Start taking control over your weight

1 to 3 are already part of my lifestyle. 4 is summarized in my I2.x improvements. 5 is realized by my Six Sigma project.

For the analyze phase I choosed a fishbone diagram also known as Ishikawa diagram. It is typically used during brainstorming sessions on root causes. However, it can be also be used as a great tool for structuring your own thoughts.

You don't need no special Ishikawa tool. The best way is to start with a large piece of paper or, as I did, with a mindmapping tool from an iPhone.

You can't control what you can't measure. So I started monitoring my weight at 18.05.2009 with help of my iPhone. What I got was a rising trend and calculating my BMI a number that signs overweight.

What should I do? Hundreds of ideas in the Internet to reduce weight, but which one could work for me?

Why not using Six Sigma? It sounds a bit crazy. So what. I started my personal DMAIC project at 01.07.2009.
