Week 48: Weigh-in Results
I’ve posted my weight here regularly for the past 47 weeks. Until this week.
The new scale I bought just a few months ago broke this morning. Unlike last time, this scale broke without enough time for me to replace it. So, I don’t know what I weigh and weight for week 48 will not be recorded in the record books.
I’m going to be shopping (any suggestions
Below is a copy of my week 1, my very first weigh-in:
It’s been a week since I first weighed myself at a thundering 344.2 pounds. As I said before, I’ll keep weighing myself every Wednesday morning and update here with my findings.
Drum roll, please…
Jan 21 weight: 344.2
Jan 28 weight: 338.2
I lost exactly 6 pounds in one week. Absolutely phenomenal.
I’ve never done before and after shots when undertaking a new diet, but I want to this time — since it’s the last. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture/video of myself when I first started my new lifestyle on the 15th, so the 28th will have to be my starting point.
I’ll post on every Wednesday, the same day as weigh-in, for the duration of this charade.
That was my very first weigh-in. I could’ve never imagined the path that would lead from week 1 to 48 and that those 6 pounds would be the first out of 131 that would fall. I could have never imagined.
I’ll see you Christmas morning.
I use this scale:

I bought it at Target for about $30 bucks, I had issues with the original one but I bought the same one as a replacement and it works like a charm. Nothing fancy about it, it only shows your weight but it has a large enough display that you can photograph it for the blog.
Merry Christmas Eve-Eve
That scale looks good. Will it break if I touch it?
Comparing this video with the video from last week is crazy. How does it feel not to have another 100 pounds hanging in front of you all the time?
Haha, I doubt it. It supports MY fat a** just fine 😛
What a great reminder of how far you’ve come! I’m so happy for you! (Maybe it’s a good thing your scale broke so you could really show how massive this loss has been!)
Tyler, check this scale out:

It is a little pricy, but it is wifi! Maybe you can rig it to automatically upload the results to your blog?
I personally use http://www.taylorusa.com/weight-management/glass-electronic-scales/glass-lithium-electronic-scale.html
It works really well. Have had it for almost a year and haven’t had any problems with it.
I used to use this site http://www.skinnyr.com to track my weight goals. They now have a partnership for a scale that automatically updates to the skinnyr account set up with it. Maybe this would be to your liking 🙂
http://www.skinnyr.com/scale/getit is the link if you have a skinnyr account. If not, the Scale is made by Body Trace. You may be able to get there from https://www.bodytrace.com/
Keep up the good work, skinny boy!
I bought a Tanita Scale InnerScan Model BC533. Its pricey but I love the body fat percentage measurement. It is pretty accurate – however there are rules – can’t weigh after eating/drinking – etc. Its a great to see the body fat down on a 0 or gain week. 206 from 292 – still hoping for the winterOnederland!
Second for the withings. I got one and it comes with free iphone app and website that will graph weight, lean mass and fat mass. Also does bmi. All over wifi.
Best scale I’ve owned, worth the pennies.
It feels amazing. Sometimes I pick up my daughter, weighing 19 pounds, and she’s heavy to me after a few minutes. It’s hard to imagine I how I lived before with several of her hanging on me 24/7.
It’s a good reminder, but it’s a hit on the ole’ wallet.
I find it funny that now that you’re much easier on a scale it poops out. I picked up a $15 one from walmart that measures to the 2/10 of a pound (in .2 but not .1 strangely). It’s lasted at least three years, I haven’t even put another battery in it and that’s not from lack of use. It’s been accurate. If you want fancier I have no suggestions. If I ever feel like figuring out my body fat percentage I use the military’s tables (which are not far off) and I never use BMI since I’m too tall for women and it will always tell me I’m fat until I’m too skinny.
I don’t want anything fancier, I just want something that works. It boggles the mind that these machines keep breaking on me. Maybe I’m stepping on them too much, giving them too much abuse?
That’s a whole lot of pennies. I don’t have an iPhone anymore (G1), but I do like the concept. I’ll have to talk it over with the wife and see if it’s worth it.
Good luck on hitting onederland. Nice scale, Sean!
I like Skinnyr and that’s a pretty good service, I must say. I’m thinking about signing up myself.
That is an absolutely awesome scale, but a little pricey. The scale that you personally use seems a lot more realistic and in more price range. Maybe when I’m rich and famous I can buy the Withings scale.
