Default Add Chart Columns

I can not successfuly add a new column to my Weight chart. I can re-build the
entire chart. The Chart is a simple column chart with date on the X axis and
a column for daily weight on the Y axis.
This tutorial:

Talks about different colored sizing handles that can be used to drag chart
data to the chart area. It does not explain how to acquire the colored sizing
handles.
Any help to help me find way to add chart data will be appreciated.

Default Add Chart Columns

The chart has to be embedded on the data sheet to see the outlines. When you
click on a series, the X values, Y values, and Name are highlighted with the
colored outlines if they were taken from the sheet. These you can drag and
resize. If your chart is on a different sheet, you can go to Chart menu
Source Data, and on the Data Range tab change the range in the box (by
typing something different or by selecting another range), or on the Series
tab you can change the X values, Y values, and name (by typing something
different or by selecting another range).
