    This challenge is going to be kind of hard for me since I tend to have dinner after I work out so its usually around 8:30pm and I go to bed around 10 so I can get around 7 hours of sleep.

    I normally eat dinner around 8. That 's when I get in from the gym and can't really do anything to change this. Looking forward to weighing in tonight.

    Good challenge. I really struggle with late night eating sometimes! Had a very good weekend. I am really quite proud of myself for how smart I ate, especially when we ate out. Tomorrow is weigh in day...let's hope I see some results! This morning at the gym, I actually ran for a bit. It's been a while since that last happened. I'm trying to push my self in different ways.

    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??? :embarassed:

    In the beginning I ate all my workout calories and lost, but now I am not losing. My goal is not to eat all of them just a little and only if I have to.

    I need to go back and find my other posts for my starting weights and stuff, I can't remember what i did 5 minutes ago, let alone weeks.

    I have the don't eat 2-3 hours b/f bed down. I need the do not eat my kids left overs! back to my problem I had a few months back.

    Off to do dishes b/4 I get 1 from school.

    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: 140

    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...

    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!

    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. :)
