Tina, here are some of my tricks for getting though family gatherings. I come form hillbillys too where eating is a sport! Chew gum while cooking. Make some healthier food versions without telling anyone. Like I sometimes use fat free condensed milk in my pumpkin pie. Make some healthy food choices for everyone. I find people will eat them if they are there. Eat a really big healthy salad BEFORE everyone shows up so you sit down to the goodies already full.
Good luck on Sunday. Just think the next holiday they see you at you will be way skinnier.
I get the double dose....mom is mexican, and dad is hillbilly. Its grease grease and more grease. lol I am really going to try hard this weekend.0 -
Sorry to all you ladies that are feeling the stress! No fun and not easy on the diet either! I totally blew it yesterday but yeah teenagers will do that too ya! So today has been good so far but I have not exercised yet and I am getting a total headache and not really wanting too! Ugh...Can't let that happen, I at least need to go for a while as 2 days in a row off will not be good for me. Makes it so much harder to go back every time I miss a day!

I figured out what Im gonna do to save myself from gorging on Easter- Im gonna WORK! I know, its ridiculous, but after having anxiety all week about how I was going to resist temptation, I decided that I just couldnt even take that chance right now! So, our huge (and very overweight, unhealthy, and outta shape) extended family is getting together for an Easter egg hunt at 2p- and fiesting afterwards- but instead of staying, Im heading to work at 3! Im just gonna smile and wave as I drive away from the temptation, and breath a sign of relief!
Not to mention make a little extra money while Im at it. Maybe for a new outfit? 0 -

I am working on Easter too but going in after our dinner. The nice thing is that I am cooking the dinner and are having lots of healthy choices, along with a few treats but some healthy treats too! At least I won't be sitting around the house all day with the Easter candy staring at me! 0 -

Well Barbies,
It's going to be so hard this weekend because Easter dinner is at my house this year, and I am making everything. UGH. I am trying my hardest to be down 5 lbs this week, since I was up 3 lbs, and I wanted to lose 2 lbs every week. So I am in double trouble. I am eating well, and drinking soooooooooooooooo much darn water but it worries me about this cooking and baking. I have a very large family, 7 brothers, 2 sisters (yes, when you put a mexican and hillbilly together, you make 10 kids and we become MexiBillys!) :huh: , 27 nieces and nephews. So you already know, family holidays are important in this family! My focus this weekend, will be to TRY and stay away from the desserts. You know how some people say just have a small bite, but for someone like me, I CANT just have one bite so I might as well have none, for my own good!!!! :laugh: I know still have to really make myself eat a small portion, because I am not even going to lie and tell you that I will not eat my food. :bigsmile: I just have to make sure that this holiday is not like the rest, where I eat until I can't move. The week has been so good for me, and I am soooooooooooooo not wanting to screw up, that's for sure. I will weigh in on Saturdays, because that was the original plan for the group, and it works better for me to do it that morning.
I will say, it's so nice to see all you lovely women joining the Plus Size Barbies~ :flowerforyou: I think together, we can do this for sure. Do you want to know when I came up with the name Plus Size Barbie? I was about 16 years old, and this boy said I was pretty but a little chubby, so I told him "don't hate me because I am a Plus Size Barbie!" Every since then, I have always said it as a joke to people. Since all my friends are Fluffy, we all use it. lol My other favorite quote is :blushing: "I will make you feel like a virgin all over again!" Shhhhh, don't tell my hubby that I told you that one. :blushing:
Oh my Tina I love you already! I had to try SO hard not to laugh loudly cause it's 430am here and I'd wake up my newborn!
Any gathering is difficult, studies show that you tend to eat more when you're with company because you're not really paying attention to what you're eating, but more so mindlessly indulging. Try conversing away from where the food is stationed, or keeping healthier choices around you to munch on...I know it's hard they just don't make the good for you stuff as tasty lol
Good luck!!

OH -O
Well that was good friday over ... and I ate and drank too much
over my calorie target by 800 calories so that puts me into the if every day was like today you would gain weight category. this is the first time since I started this thing that that has happened. bugger!
day one of the easter break (which i am now calling the eater break ) and 3 more too go.........0 -
Hi PSB! So for this week has been really good for me. With eating right the baby weight is falling off. I love breastfeeding for that reason! I had dinner at my mom's last night and measured everything out and never went back for seconds! We went for a nice walk after dinner, so overall a really good day. I can't wait to get the ok from the doctor to start exercising! I think i am going to order Jillian's 30 day shred. Has anyone here ever done that?
michelle - I would be doing the same thing if I could! I have made a rule for myself that i do not eat past seven and from 6:30-7:00 I always have such anxiety about eating because i know its my last chance. It is horrible! I always try to keep busy in that time. I am glad you found away to get away from the temptation of easter!
leelu- It will all be over soon! Good luck the next few days!
I hope everyone has a great day!!0 -
Well I had no energy this morning and really didnt want to workout but pushed myself anyways! My body for some reason was hurting today but I kept pushing myself to finish and I did!
Did slim & 6 pack and RIU for a calorie burn of 427. Its going to be 79 degrees today so will be bringing the dog for a walk too.0 -

simplegirl I think you will like this group.
Well we are coming to the end of your first week and I think this is the best group out there. 0 -
I've been asking my boyfriend to find the power cord for our digital camera for over a week. I'll get pics up ASAP.
Well... he took care of that for me yesterday. I wore a pair of shorts and a small tank top so that you would really be able to see my shape. I took a look at the pics and just feel really uncomfortable posting them now. In a few months when I have a progress pic to post next to it I promise I'll put them up. Don't kick me out! Forgive me for my moment of weakness. I sucks to be so uncomfortable in your skin that you don't want anyone else to see it. :sad:
Well I worked up the nerve to post a pic. Just not the original ones taken. This one is wearing a great deal more clothes! I felt fine showing you a picture of something I wore to a business meeting last week. The short shorts picture (dimples and all) is staying in the vault for a while!0 -
Well with all that went on this week...I still was able to reach my PSB goal and more...this give me such much fuel for this wekend and next week!!!0

uggghh today was not a great day. I didn't go over my calories but i want junk food really bad! I didn't eat all the vegetables i should have and tomorrow is going to be worse because it's easter! Some family came over today and brought pizza, but I didn't have any and now its sitting in the bottom of my fridge calling me every time I open the fridge! But I did buy myself some skinny cow icecream sandwiches so I can have a little junk and still make a decent choice.
How is everyone else doing today? What are your plans to stay on track tomorrow?0 -
I have been really bad as in I have eaten next to nothing so far today. I had some nuts and cottage cheese and still have over 1000 calories left at its almost 7pm.
It will be easy for me tomorrow since I am not having an Easter dinner.0 -
I was bad last night. Had sooo much to drink, the extra calories suck but at least I had fun.0

Seems like everyone has been off this week!!! We will rock next week!0

I exceeded my goal this week which was great!!! Can't wait until our next challenge this next week. 0

well i only lost .2 lbs. does that even count??!! lol! im down to 207.8. ive been slackin big time the past few weeks. its the eating, not the exercising. i think that if i wasnt exercising daily then id already be back to 230 again. i had pizza and chocolate again today. ugh! why cant i control myself around pizza??? damnit!!!!! i need to quit going to my mom n dads house. thats where the pizza and candy was. its junk food heaven over there! that explains why im fat and why i was the fat kid growing up. i just moved out about 15 months ago. i go there 2 x a week to take the kids there when i work. i have NO control when im there.....i dont understand it! i even took a healthy meal with me, but when i saw that pizza there was no turning back!!! i don't feel so bad being that im still exercising tho. i just gotta take control of my eating habits. i didnt set a goal for this week. my next goal is to be between 195 and 199 by mothers day. thats 5 weeks i think. this is do-able, so lets see if i can do it......wish me luck!!!!!!
CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO HAD A GOOD WEEK AND LOST WEIGHT!!!!!!!0 -
Hello PSB Barbies, :bigsmile:
I had a really good week judging by the scale. I lost 3 pounds and I believe that most of it is water weight. I'll take it.
Tonight is when we have our Easter Sunday Dinner and I'm scared about that a little bit because I'm not making it this year. I have decided that I will bring some veggies and some healthy alternatives and see if they mind.
Happy Easter all!:flowerforyou:

I know you can do it! :glasses:0 -
ok guys my week was soo off..only worked out like 2 days...blah
Ive been stuck at 220 for like 3 weeks!! its so frustrating but i will keep at it and see what happens!
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
my goal this week will be 217-2180 -
I met my goal of 2 lbs down to 224. I don't know why but breaking the 225 mark felt really good. I think every one is doing great. Anything other then a gain is doing good. For those stuck have you tried changing anything up to see if that would work. Even just switching from how you eat around your work out or trying 30 seconds of a slightly higher speed or resistance.
Happy Easter everyone!0 -
Hi everyone! I woke up late today and missed breakfast and was kind of freaking out about what to eat and when to eat and blah blah blah, but i decided not to worry to much about it and just eat lunch and deal with the rest later.

I am NOT going to eat any chocolate today and am gonna stay on track with my eating!

Hi PSBs,
Congrats to all that lost weight this week and to those that exceeded their goals. Hang in there and keep going to those who struggled a little bit. I only lost 1.5 but I am okay with that. Next week my goal is to lose another 1.5 pounds. Let's do this ladies!!!
Welcome to all of our new Barbies. YOu will love this group. Have a great day everyone.0 -
OMG. I gained 7 ounces this week so I am 224 even. I'm not crazy upset because I've been working out everyday and I feel good. I also started my period on Fri and checked my wight today so I'm hoping this is water weight *crosses fingers* I'm REALLY proud of you girls who did lose weight GREAT JOB PSB!!! We CAN do this. Not losing anything and gaining 7 ounces doesn't even bug me, because I FEEL so great...I feel like I'm winning somehow. So here's to next week! Next Sunday I hope to be 222.
Peace and love, Shells.0 -
