Weigh-In Wednesday: Week Wah-Zillion
I feel like I have been doing this weigh-in thing for approximately thirty-seven years. And I’ve only been ALIVE for twenty-five years, so you catch my drift. But even though I’m beginning to feel a little annoyed by the repetititiveness (repetitivity? so not a word, but I like it) of weighing in and agonizing over what might show up on the scale each week, I will not stop. It’s the only thing that has EVER kept me on track with getting healthy, and I’m not about to quit, now that I’m closer to my ultimate goal than I am far away from it. (I mean, I’m over halfway to the finish line from where I started in April.)
Anyway, last week I mentioned that my mini-goal for my anniversary (THIS SUNDAY!!) was to get down to 155.0 or less. That’s 0.8 pounds less than what I weighed last week, which sounds easy, but listen. I had pizza for dinner two nights in a row last week. And those two nights were pretty indicative of the rest of my week’s eating habits, too. AND I didn’t really work out from last Wednesday through Saturday.
BUT. I hit the gym on Sunday and ran 2.5 miles (plus another half mile of warm-up/cool-down walking). I hit the gym on Monday for the early morning spin class. I hit the gym on Tuesday for some weights and this awesome treadmill run. What I’m saying is, I tried desperately to make up for my laziness the first four days of the weigh-in week. So, was it enough?
To be honest, I didn’t think it would be. I was expecting to be around the same weight as last week, give or take 0.2 pounds. However…
This is what I saw (and checked multiple times) this morning:
Starting weight (4/21/10): 167.8
Last week’s weight: 155.8
Current weight: 154.4
This week’s loss: -1.4 lbs
Net difference: -13.4 lbs
Boo to the YAH, people. I am stoked. I’m so stoked, in fact, that I dedicated today’s VEDA video to this very topic. So, check it out if you want! I talked about a few things I didn’t mention in this post, so it won’t be too repetitive, hopefully.

I’ve decided to start using my blog to track the same as you Tab, my weight loss journey!
) And week one has gone pretty well. I lost 6 pounds!! WOO HOO!! My weight loss goal is a bit larger than yours though, but it’s a step in the right direction! 
) Thanks for the extra motivation Tabs…and keep up the great work!
YOU DID IT! Congrats Tabitha, that’s so awesome that you met your mini-goal! I’m in this week (and down 4 lbs total already!). Check out my blog for the post

YAY YOU!! Congrats beautiful, this is so awesome. Wish I could watch your vlog right now but I’m at work!
My weight loss news? Well while I was walking back from grabbing coffee this morning, I realised it was about +19 and I was SHIVERING. I always get cold easier than most people and I figured it was because I was small, but I had the idea that when I got back to the office I was going to calculate my BMI.
18.3. I am medically underweight. So I’m halting the weight loss for now and just focusing on remaining where I am (I don’t want to put ON weight), and maybe not feeling so bad about eating way too much on vacation next week?
way to go!!!! That’s awesome
You rock! Keep up the good work!
I have been absent from here and I regret that. Congrats on all the progress miss, that is so awesome. So proud.
Best,
Hannah Katy
Yay that is so exciting!!!
I hope you don’t stop weigh in wednesday because its honestly one of my favorite topics and i look forward to it every week. 9do i sound like a huge dork right now???)
so i took a little break from it because i went on vacation and i dont think its fair to hold me up to dieting and exerciing during VACATION. so i will return next week with a vengeance (or hopefully the same weight before i left for vacation).
YAY, TABITHA! I’m soo excited & happy for you!
I’m actually starting my own series on Friday so I’ll be joining along with you on these weigh-in posts. Yay!
congrats!!!
Congratulations on making your goal, Tabitha! Great job.
(I’m finally catching up on some blog reading today.)
