    It looks so Yummy. I feel like I could almost taste it.

    Thanks, it was delicious!

    @mistymeadows2005, food porn not so helpful with a shorter water fast? Lolol

    Oddly it's almost soothing - a different way to get my "food fix" :p it's the same reason I watch food network all the time, even during my long fasts LOL

    Me too :p

    We just <3 food - and I'm ok with that ;)

    ETA: Oops - I see that you're not quite under 180... BUT SO CLOSE!!!! (And I'm still jealous!)

    lol, I was yesterday morning. 179.9 and went up .7 this morning. :)

    Don't be jealous, you're doing great!

    Wooh! Just finished reading all the updates Sandy! You did it! Congratulations on completing your fast :)
    Don't bother about the gain after the fast. Most of it would be water weight. Looking forward to your Friday weigh in :smiley:

    Niha, thank you! Thankfully I haven't regained, still losing! I was not expecting that at all. lol I'm looking forward to my Friday weigh-in as well. You're right in that if I did, it'd be water weight. I'm sure if I had chosen Asian or Mexican cuisine or fast food to break my fast with, I'd have taken on a lot of added salt and gained. I'm glad I went to eat where I did, that's for sure. :)

    Lol, I forgot all about that until now. Exactly right! This month has seemed so long that I thought it was a new month. Lol

    Thanks so much, Barbara!

    @barbheart @sammygold2015 @mistymeadows2005, thanks ladies! I can't stop choking up. I'm at the halfway point, just over it in fact! 45.8 pounds gone and 44.2 pounds to go. Between my extended fast and now this, I feel refreshed and renewed. I love myself and that's something that's taken my whole life to do... even if I don't drop another pound, IF is MY life. Can't imagine it any other way! My daughter and husband and sister flipped out when they saw the pictures. They all love me for who I am and didn't "see" me as fat and obese so they were shocked upon viewing, lol. My sister told me I look, "Tiny". I told her that I am far from tiny, but the side by sides only make me appear that way because of all the rolls in I had in the before photos, lol

    Thank you, Niha, I feel like a new person, that's for sure. The new me wants to give that sad and pathetic woman next to me a big hug and tell her that all will be okay and she can do it!

    When your very busy and married daughter calls you and asks to meet for lunch, yet your window doesn't open for three hours, and your official weigh-in is on the next day. Do you say, "Sorry, honey, I'm fasting and have a weigh-in, so nope" or "Sure! I'll be up there in a few"? You open your window a bit earlier, stop caring about the scale and enjoy and live in the moment, OMAD isn't a diet, I don't feel like I'm cheating or doing something bad. That said...

    Today's food porn is brought to you by Rico American Mexican Restaurant... vegetarian quesadilla filled with cheese, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and other goodies, along with a plate of rice and beans. I also had a few tortilla chips and salsa. I'm stuffed!

    I can't even explain how yummy it was. I killed that entire quesadilla, couldn't eat even half the beans and rice. Of course, chips and salsa were served first, couldn't let them just sit there or expect my sweet daughter to eat them alone. Lol

    Hope the next 8 hours flys by for ya :)
