Plus Size Barbies - Week 4

Hello everyone! I was wondering if I might be able to join your group? I know you're already a month in but the title of this group caught my eye and gave me a chuckle! I've been trying to diet alone for a while now and it's just not working! I'd really like the support of a group
Start weight: 210 (this is a guess as our scale has broken!)
Goal for next time: 208
Ultimate goal: 1400 -
Okay, this is a stupid question, but why do we have to eat our work out calories? I understand that our body will starve. But I thought the whole point in losing weight was to burn more than we eat???
Check out some of the newbie threads for a more details. In a nutshell when you use MFP to set your goals it already calculates the caloric deficit to meet your goals each week. It does not take exercise into consideration. To lose 2 lbs a week you need to be at a 1000 calorie deficit per day. Ideally you would burn half through exercise and cut half out of your diet. If your goals already set up a 2lb a week loss plus you burn another 500 in exercise and don't eat them back your total calorie deficit for the day is 1500. This is probably more than your body will be willing to tolerate for an extended period of time. This could scare your body into thinking that there is a shortage of food and it needs to start storeing all calories as fat so that you can live off your blubber until food is plentiful again. Wow. What an attractive way to explain stavation mode...0 -

Welcome pele!
Thanks!
As far as the challenge goes for this week, I think it's a good one! Eating at night is my biggest weakness. I've pretty much cured it by moving my walking to after dinner. Now I just don't feel like eating! Woo!0 -

welcome Pele.
Well when we say 2 hours before bed does that count the half hour or so when I am in bed and reading? I last ate at 8:30 (needed a small something after the gym) and went to bed at 10 but didn't actually go to sleep until 10:45. 0 -

Grr Im so mad at myself! Last night my bf brought pizza home for dinner from a new place. And pizza is my fav food and of course I over ate cuz it tasted SOOO good! Why do we let ourselves do this? It was great while I was eating it then when I was done I thought it was tasty BUT not going to help me lose weight!
Its so frusterating my bf needs to lose weight too but he doesnt care and he keeps eating the junk which doesnt help me out at all!
Sorry had to vent.

That's what we are here for It sucks when not everyone is on the same page. But today you just have to workout that much harder. You should be proud of yourself, after you over ate you relized that you did We have to take baby steps, and next time you know what the after effect will be. I hope you don't let this get you down! I have a great day!!!0 -

My week has been very good so far! I'm down 1 1/2 pounds which was my goal!!
For the challenge,
Monday :happy:
Tuesday::happy:
Also I have resisted several temptations, that I normally would dive right into. My exercising, is the only downside of the week. I am just doing the bare minimum, but I guess it's better than nothing.:ohwell: I have a new plan for next week though. I am planning to start a couch to 5K running plan. We'll see how that goes.
Have a good rest of the week PSB's!! :flowerforyou:0 -

This week has been a tough week for me, i just want to eat all day! I had one bad day but stayed under my calories the rest but its still been HARD. I have been doing C25K so that could be one of the reasons i am so hungry. I haven't lost ant weight this week so I doubt I am going to hit my goal by Monday, but i am still going to give it my best and see what happens.0 -
so far so good, now i just need to work on the kids plates,
today i actually ate under calories without exercise, i need to do that more often, i do better when i do not eat al the exercise calories, and i also measured everything again.0 -

today is going to be a long day for me. I got up at 6am (got to sleep in an hour) and I won't get home until almost midnight. I won't be able to get in any work out unless you count jumping around at a concert.0
