Drop 10 for 10 Challenge (10410)
1st Quarter Weighing In
On January 1st we started having people join this little group with the intention of dropping 10 pounds for the year of 2010. I actually established this group out of a bit of panic on my part. I had enjoyed a low of below 200 pounds following the immediate year after my RNY in 2007. I experienced a normal bounceback (somehow I actually thought I would be exempt) of about 20 pounds and managed to stay there for over a year. Then the holiday 2009 season hit and I pushed to my all time post surgery high weight of 229.8 with a serious case of panic. I had lost touch with OH after a very close relationship with many people for the year following my surgery so this is where I came back to.
Very quickly I stablized my weight back to around 222-224 around the first week of January. To be fair to myself, I set my official starting weight at 220 and reached that very quickly. I have focused pretty well during these past three months and have seen the weight slowly, but surely, come down. To my surprise and joy I hit a weight this past week of 212. My goal is to hit the 200 pound weight and then drop at least 3 pounds below it.
To do this I have focused on small breakfasts and lunches. It still try to keep around 500 calories between these two meals combined. Then I try to come home from work and have a high protein snack, like a can of tuna or chicken that will take my evening cravings away. Then I try to eat a normal dinner...and some days I even succeed.
I'd like everyone who has had the success of losing at least 3 pounds to check in at the end of March or the first week or so of April. You can add to this thread or start your own. I still think that if you really want to drop the 10 pounds for 2010, you need to have achieved the goal by the first part of or middle of November. My two bad seasons are summer and then from Thanksgiving through the 1st of the year.
One of my only hopes for this group was that anyone who starts a thread gets at least one or more responses. That I see has been done quite well...thank you to all who contribute.
I wish you all success in the next three months and beyond.
