Are you a bot posting someone else's data? This is not year-over-year, but day-by-day since April.

Lol no it’s my data.

My total data set spans Dec 21 to Dec 22 (YoY). You can see this by looking at the bottom and at the very left where it clearly has 12/11/21. I got this data (December) from my last physical with my doctor.

I started my diet in April and that’s where you begin to see it fall.

The data between December and June I got from searching my Facebook convo with my friends. I wasn’t telling my frends on a daily basis what my weight was, so that’s why you see it scatter every couple of weeks.

the day by day portion of the data starts in June because that’s when I started recording it daily in an excel file. Right in June, we all got into a biggest loser contest.

I’ll post a YoY diet photo of myself in April before I leave for Greece. I’m still only 9 months into the diet which is an odd interval to take a comparison photo.

YoY means that you're comparing a moment or period from one year with the same moment or period the year before. It'd likely display data as a percentage drop from the year before. That's not what your graph is. Yours is just a graph of your weight.

It does show YoY. It has Dec’21 as the starting point and Dec’22 as the ending point. You’re free to calculate percentages on your own, though.

YoY means that each value represents a comparison from two consecutive years. Just because some of the figures are a year apart does not make the chart, nor even those figures, YoY. You simply misnamed your post.

What you’ve shown is more rolling 12 month look. It’s definitely not what anyone would consider YoY.
