Thats Me
I found out this was an online community yesterday. Before I thought this was just an iphone calorie tracker app.
I'll also video record this so you see where /when I fail0 -
:laugh: CONSUMING a week's worth of calories in one weekend is more the kind of goal I'd like to try.
That's TOTALLY what I thought this thread was going to be about. And I was like "hmm, that's a lot but I could probably do it."0 -
Sounds like a pretty good way to injure yourself and completely wreck your goals to me.0

Yeah, that sounds a bit crazy...0

No thats not me. I just found this place yesterday. I'm not trying to troll or anything. Just set a high goal and want to achieve it.
Like I said Ill see how it goes this weekend and go from there
It says you joined in June....tomorrow is September....
I would say you're not a math person are you?
Most people don't know that there's a forum until they log on to a computer.
I joined in February but didn't find the forums until May.0 -
You really opened up a can of worms.
You can do it if you want to. Let us know how it went.0 -
Ive done weeks worth of eating in a weekend and it does sound more enticing
I've been working out pretty consistently to try and reach my goal of 60 lbs in 16 weeks. Ive kinda hit a wall and want to use this to push me over that. I also want to start training for a tough mudder event in Feb and this would be a good way to kick off that training.
Heres what Im thinking-
Friday night - Gym- 60 min on treadmill at 3.5 mph at 8-10% incline. 30 min HIIT. Lifting weights
HAHA. I like the fancy math stuff! It is the only way for me to lose weight
Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr
Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.
That's what I'm shooting for. I think its achievable and I'm going to push really hard to hit it
(1000 cal)
Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr
(2400 cal)
Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.
(2000 *assuming 2 hrs of soccer, playing midfield, constant running)
Total: 5400 cal
Those are my *generous* estimates, based on my own stats- I don't know how big you are, etc. So don't take the numbers at face value- just as a sanity check. I think 11,000 cals over a weekend is kind of insane, unless you are a serious athlete and your body is conditioned for it.
Hey! This thread is *no* place for your fancy math stuff.

3500 calories equals a lb
1800 (for smaller female)calories a day to maintain weight x 7 days = 12600
12600/3500= a 3.6 weight loss over the weekend
12600/3 days in the weekend = you most net negative 4200 calories per day
I can burn about 600 calories at the gym doing cardio over the course of 60 minutes.
For me this would equate to eating 1000 calories and spending a little over 5 hours at the gym doing cardio.
Possible but I am not up for the killer weekend... and my gym has shortened hours on the weekends.0 -
