Welcome to week 14 of Plus Size Barbies. Everyone ready for the holiday coming up?

This weeks nutrition/health challenge is drink half your body weight in fl oz a day aka I am 202 so I would be drinking 101 fl oz.

The fitness challenge will be add 1 hour over the week of time exercising.
Example if you tend to work out 4 days a week for 30 minutes up that to 4 days a week at 45 minutes. Those extra 15 minutes will add up to an hour a week.


Here is the traditional format for our weigh in data:

Weigh In: current weight
P.S.B Starting Weight: (your starting weight for Plus Size Barbies)
Week 1 Goal: (your goal weight for week 1) – Actual (Your weigh in weight)
Week 2 Goal: (your goal weight for week 1) – Actual (Your weigh in weight)
# lbs lost:
# lbs to go:
Week 3 Goal:

The water and the exercise will be difficult for me as I will be driving down to FL on Friday. A nice 8 hour drive from Charlotte to Pensacola.

    Water challenge shouldn't be too hard for me. That's just over 14 cups a day for me and I regularly drink that much, or close too it, already.

    Not sure how I should handle the exercise challenge. I havn't been consistant with my exercise lately so I'm not sure what number to aim for. I suppose I'll plan on a minimum of 3 hours exercise this week.

    Hi ladies, I'd love to join your group! Here are my current "stats":

    Weigh In: 179
    P.S.B Starting Weight: 179
    Week 1 Goal: 178

    Over the past year I've lost over 40 pounds and have become complacent with doing what I need to do to lose the rest of this weight once and for all. I'm focused and back on track and am looking for some extra motivation and support. My name is Katie by the way. What day do you all typically weigh in?
  • MissingMinnesota
    MissingMinnesota Posts: 7,486 Member
    Hi Katie,
    Typically you can weigh in any day you want. The new week is posted every sunday or monday so most people weigh in anytime between friday - monday. Since some would like to do it before the weekend and some after.

    Ok, thanks!

    I forgot to post about the challenge this week. I'm really good at drinking water and will definitely be able to to half my body weight (which would be ~11 glasses or so). I've found it especially easy to consume all the water I need to (and then some) on days I do lots of cardio). As for the extra hour, since I've only been averaging about 2 hours a week I'm going to aim for AT LEAST 4 hours this week. I need to get back into a more regular workout schedule so hopefully this will help!

    Day 6-Saturday, 30 min cross training. I did Jillian Michael's Yoga Meltdown and a short speed walk. I do like Jillian's yoga workout because you are continuously moving, so you burn more. I had a great workout and had a very busy day. I wasn't horrible, but I also was not good with my eating.

    I have decided that I am not going to deal with the hotel for the catering for the reception. He is just too way up in the air. He tells me one thing and it is another. That is just too frustrating for me. I think we are just going to go with meat, veggie and fruit trays. Nothing fancy.

    Day 7-Sunday, 3 mile run. I DID IT!!! My ankle did hurt a little, but after a while it didn't. Weird. I did the entire 3 miles without walking. I sure had to talk to myself alot. LOL Then band practice. We have a full band right now. WHOOOHOOO!!! I am a little worried about our lead guitar player, he was really off and throwing me for a loop. Then I got to go home and veg out for the evening. It was nice to just sit and rest. I did eat clean all day.

    Day 8-Monday, Strength Training and Cardio Abs. Well, I go to the doctor this afternoon to see if there is anything that can be done about my ankle. I will be very upset if he tells me to hold off on any jumping/running. I am really scared that is what he is going to say. Of course, if I remember, I will ask him what I can do. I can't do what I did 2 weeks ago and let myself go. If I am moving I feel great, if I am not, I feel depressed. We will see what happens. I will let you know.

    Have a beautiful week everyone. :bigsmile:

    My goal for the week: NO CHEATING!!!

    Having someone to workout with is a great thing. It pushes you harder. You can do this and we are here for you. Glad you are here. :bigsmile:

    It feels great. I weigh myself on the scale at the gym that is like a dr. office one where you move the weights. I went and put it on 200 and heard a big old clank and was able to push the big weight over to 150. I think that is more satisfying then just looking down at numbers glowing on a scale since I am a tactile person.

    Okay, it has officially been 5 weeks since I have started my supposed 12 week half-marathon training. I was way-laid for one week and tried to start again and make it a 13 week prorgram. Now, I have to rest my ankle for 2 whole weeks. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Really, does this have to happen to me? I guess it could happen to anyone, I just NEVER thought it would happen to me. I am so frustrated and wish this would not have happened. I would be almost half way through the training.

    I went to the doctor yesterday and he stated that it is part of my Achillies Tendon. It is what is around it that is inflamed. He put me on Predisone for 6 days and said to stay off it for 2 weeks. He said that I could ride my bike or swim, no walking or running. Oh yeah and no plyometrics or intense cardio of any kind. No jumping. UGH!!!

    So, here is my 2 week countdown. Trying to find the positive in this in any way shape or form.

    Day 1-30 min bike ride and strength training. It was kinda kewl to get on my bike again. It has been over a year since I have been on it last. I can say that riding on brick roads is not very comfortable. It actually kinda hurt my ankle from all the bumping around. Then when I got home I did my strength training. It went well. I had Jon show me a different way to do side delts. I HATE DOING DELTS!!! But I know they need to be done. GRRR!!! It iwas a good workout.

    Day 2-Bike Ride (at least 4 miles) and Abs. Looking forward to getting on my bike again. My bootie is a little sore, but I will work through it. Can't wait to do Abs. Can't do Plank position though, because it will put pressure on my ankle. It is just a no win situation right now. But at least I can do something. :bigsmile:

    I totally agree - making the scale move BACK to 150 is so amazing - CONGRATS!!!

    What a weird day... I slept in until 11am this morning for absolutely no reason other than I could. I haven't slept that late in years. I knit a scarf while it's 80 degrees outside. Ended up driving to Walmart at 11pm to get a crochet hook.

    I left the house at 9am and didn't come home until 8pm. Other that seeing a movie and meals I was on my feet that whole time. Had another fantastic day. To bad it's back to work tomorrow. I really should use my vacation time more often.

    Need to get back on track with my food. I have been BAD the last three days!
