Hey all! After falling off of the OMAD lifestyle wagon numerous times, I've rededicated myself. I started on 1/4/17, but didn't weigh myself until 1/14. I'm going to be more active on the forums, so please add me as a friend if you'd like. Thank you!

1/4/17 - Start
1/14/17 - 359.6
1/21/17 - 357.2 (-2.4/2.4)
1/28/17 - 352.6 (-4.6/7.0)

    Things are still going well. My next splurge day will be Super Bowl Sunday. I'm going to do my best to stay at or under maintenance. My splurge days are every two weeks, so I'll definitely be ready to rock and roll.

    I've also talked a couple of my buddies into trying OMAD. I have the desire to inspire, I suppose.

    Have fun Sunday!

    My boss has started the 16:8 IF plan after I explained the benefits of IF in general. She was sold on the anti-aging effects. :)

    Not doing LC, but trying to not go over 60g per day or so.

    Brenda, I usually see folks who do LC only eat 20g of carbs per day. I couldn't do that, so if 60g is still somewhat low, I'll take it. In 2010, I lost nearly 100 lbs. on Medifast. My daily carb intake was between 85-100g and the weight just came off, but I didn't feel good. If I eat that many in a day, I'm not bothered by it, because I'm making very good food choices nearly all of the time. Also, since reading more about net carbs, I'm feeling a lot better about certain foods.

    Today is my splurge day, which I have every two weeks. We're going to have burritos, bean dip, tortilla chips, and a meat/veggie tray. I also picked up a six pack of my favorite IPA's. My window usually begins at around 400-430p, and I'll extend it some into the early evening while the Super Bowl is on. I love chips, veggies, meats, and cheese, so I'm sure I'll be diggin' in pretty hardcore, but today has been planned for a while and I will have no regrets.

    Up two pounds. Bleh.

    I did eat a monstrosity of a salad yesterday and drank a bunch of water. I'll go against my weekly weigh in and try again in a day or two.

    Looking at my daily weigh-ins, there are several where I'm +0.5, +1.0, or +1.5 (apart from splurge days). No idea why I get these bumps, but the overall trend is still down. Hang in there!

    I was weighing every day but was getting discouraged if I wasn't losing fast enough so now I weigh on Saturdays only.
