Week 9 Results

Another week, more results! Today's results are very odd. See for yourself:

Katie

Current Weight: -23.4 lbs. (This week: -1.4 lbs.)

Tony

Current Weight: -30.8 lbs. (This week: -7.4 lbs.)

Yes, you read that correctly. According to our scale, Tony lost 7.4 lbs this week. He weighed himself multiple times to make sure the scale didn't go crazy on him. Don't ask us how Tony lost so much weight; we have no idea. Perhaps he overestimated the amount of calories he had at catered and pot luck work lunches; perhaps he got more activity than normal; perhaps all of his snacking (mainly junk food though) kept his metabolism up. Who knows?! Either way, that's what the scale said (I saw it myself!) so that's what we're going with.

Some of you may remember how disappointed I was at Week 2 when Tony lost 5.8 lbs and I lost only 1.4 lbs. Since my weight loss this week is the same as Week 2, and Tony's increased dramatically, you are probably thinking I'm super disappointed and depressed and am fighting feelings of wanting to give up.

That is absolutely not the case.

I think the big difference here is that I can better see the big picture than I could at Week 2. We're nine weeks in, just over two months, and my total weight loss is 23.4 lbs. That's awesome!! Plus, I'm really close to getting to the next 50 lb mark on the doctor's scale:

Obviously the next 50 lb mark is not 100 ;)

Tony just made it to the next 50 lb mark today. I just checked my weight on the old website we used to use, and it's been over two years since we were at this weight! That is fantastic and is something to celebrate.

Another reason I am not upset by Tony's rapid weight loss is that it is extremely abnormal to lose 1 lb. a day. It's not something that can be continued indefinitely and I am guessing his result next week will not be that fantastic. At least, I am hoping so! Today I really am fine with the extreme difference in our results but if this continues for multiple weeks, I may not be feeling the same way!!

I know last week I said there would be three posts and I ended up posting just two. This week's second post will be the first anniversary trip recap I promised for last week. Stay tuned!
