    For those of you who have been doing OMAD for a while, do the big numbers stick? I am a little leery of losing more than a pound or two a week, should I expect to see this weight come back next weigh in?
    Overall I have settled into the program well, resisting my temptations and realizing how much I used to eat for enjoyment, not because I was actually hungry!!

    I've been dieting since September of 2016 and I started doing OMAD in the middle of December, You shouldnt see your weight coming back unless you are eating too much or working out too much...If you want to see my weekly weight loss progress check out my thread...I have had a splurge day once a week since the beginning and by splurge day I mean I eat anything I want all day long.

    Thanks Brenda, that is what I needed to see! You also had a big drop at the start, and then it settled down. All calm now, OMAD on!!

    Unplanned workout at lunch today. Me and a co-worker snuck off to the gym, I lifted heavier than I had planned on, but it felt great!!

    Just when it seemed under control, I'm never hungry anymore, I was ambushed by a Hershey bar last night...

    Another lunchtime workout; I could get used to this! Unfortunately the boss gets back from Disney next week, so probably not...

    Whoo hoo!! I'm jealous. I want to work out too but sticking to my weekend workouts only. How do you not cheat on OMAD when you train. Are you just able to eat enough during your one meal? I know you are lifting heavier these days which takes so much energy!

    Well, on the bright side, it wasn't a whole bag full of 'em

    Not sure, I imagined I would be ravenous, but not so much. Lots of water and sugar free gum. I still have to work out with my daughter tonight, but luckily it will be light!

    Im really not sure what is gling on, I struggled to get 600 calories in but can't eat anymore. I'm going to try to put down a protein shake in a few.

    I wish I had your problem. Maybe your body is just adjusting and you don't need as much fuel? Hmmmm......

    Egads, please curse me with not being able to get some food down for just a little while! I don't think that has ever happened to me.

    My 1st 6-months or so of OMAD I had a desert about everynight and I still lost 40-lbs. I wouldn't worry about it once in a while.

    Wow, I felt like that last week but this week things have changed and i am averaging around 1500 calories. since i lift 5 days a week i wanted to make sure i get enough protein in so added p28 protein bread too.

    I ate lunch today to try to make up some lost calories. I have done great all week with no sweets, so I had 1 cupcake after dinner, then I had 2 more without thinking. Its like I dont even think about sweets, but once I taste it, I can't get enough.

    I'm the same with sweets, its hard to just have one!

    I love my sweets too much too so I make sure I eat enough before I have them.

    That is what is so cool, this is much more than a diet. It's an empowering simplification of lifestyle.

    Agreed! Much easier. Also saves time and money.

    Great work Jason. I feel the same as you do about meals. I like my one evening meal and have no problem holding off for it even if I'm around other people eating great smelling food. It doesn't bother me. And yes, the simplicity is a great benefit.
