New Year 2010 Challenge!



Recommended Posts

Last Challenge of 2009! There are almost 8 full weeks until the New Year, and they are some of the most food-filled ones of the year. What better time to redouble our efforts in portion-control, food choices, and exercise!

Post your starting weight and goal weight. Or if you prefer, just post how many pounds you want to lose. I'll keep a list here on the first page of the thread of everyone participating in the challenge and will update it as everyone checks in each week. That way it will be easy to follow our progress.

My main goal is to hit 100 pounds lost by the end of the year. I'm starting at 219 (yeah, up 2 pounds from last week, and don't really understand why, but c'est la vie). My goal is to be at 204. My secondary goal is to hit ONDERLAND! So, I'll be striving to lose 20 pounds, but will be happy with 15.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks for taking this on, Misty!

Start: 179

Goal: 170

Lbs/Lose: 9

I don't know about this! LOL! I'm so sick of the 170's! It'd be nice if I could see the 160's for the new year. We'll see what happens. Made some changes w/medication and I'm hoping it will be positive changes- weight wise.

Best wishes to all of us in our goals!!

Well, so much for changing our info each week in that 2nd post. I thought I'd be able to edit, but I guess you can only edit a post for so long. Ah well.

I weighed in at 217 this week, a 2 pound loss, which I am VERY happy with, considering it's TOM. That makes 13 to go to Challenge Goal.

Last week: 219

This week: 217

Loss: 2

Total Loss for Challenge: 2

WTG, Misty! Looks like it's just the 2 of us. That's okay, we'll support each other!

Start: 179

Current: 176.6

Goal: 170

Pretty pleased so far. I've been pretty sick so I tend to eat/want junk and I drink lots of orange juice and tea. Still working on getting over this bronchitis.

I was supposed to get a fill yesterday but postponed it til Tuesday. If I'm still not better, I'll put it off again. With bronchitis I've got a lot of mucus and don't want to take the chance of getting too tight right now. I'm close to my sweet spot so I need to be careful.

Have a great week, Misty!

Hi all,

I am in if you will let me. I just can't seem to get out here every week anymore. Life is too crazy.

My starting weight is 187.

My primary goal is 179 which is obviously 8 lbs. :cool2:

I wish I could get to 175. :thumbup:

I will do my best to get weekly updates out here. I need your support and I want to be there for you! We can have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas without eating ourselves silly!!!

OF COURSE!!!

I just said that cause it's just pretty much been Misty and I lately!

So welcome aboard!!

I'm glad you're still here, tutornmom. Even if you can't make it to check in often! That's okay, jump in when you can!

Isn't wonderful how we don't have to stress about gaining so much during the holidays anymore? I mean, even if we over-indulge, it's not anywhere near what it used to be. And if there are pounds gained, it's also not near what it used to be either! Such a relief!

Have a great weekend!!

1 lb lost this week for a total of 3 since the challenge began. 12 to go to goal.

I'm going to visit my parents with my sister over the weekend, so that'll be a challenge. I want to eat when I drive. But I've got some beef Jerky, almonds and other things portioned out into little baggies.

Have a great week everyone!

Hi all,

Start 187

Last Week 186

Yesterday 184 :thumbup:

It is moving along. I keep thinking it will stop anytime because I can't exercise (I ruptured the medial band of my plantar fascia or in English I hurt my foot :().

I have an NSV as well - I just got into 16s at the end of September and have been given a closet full but they are ALL getting too big! :unsure: YEAH!!! Maybe people will give me money for clothes for Christmas! I think they feel sorry for me wearing my baggy clothes but I don't want to spend lots of money on clothes I will only wear for a couple of months.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
