@Shans, that is one reason I made it, it's been a long for me, too. Plus, when not eating chips, it's the perfect thing to accompany a sandwich. :-)0

The first week I could barely eat 1000 calories, some days were only 400-500, now that I am up to 1200, give or take a few over or under, and the weight came off. So pleased with this week's results!

@brendagaudette, thank you. I was consistent the whole week with the proper calories, so I'm super stoked. :-)
My Aunt is visiting and I have made her separate meals and together meals with me. Hubby gets home soon, so I think I should be okay with making him meals--he more than happily makes his own and for me, as well--without backsliding to more than my one meal a day. It's hard to want to go back when this way of eating makes me feel so much better.1 -
Awesome results! Congratulations

Thank you, Shans :-)
Fantastic meal today... made some boneless skinless chicken breast strips, onions, and tomato, on top of a huge bed of spring mix, drizzled with some of my homemade honey mustard vinaigrette. I enjoyed it with a serving of Jasmine Rice, a whole carrot cutup, half a cucumber cut up, and a big scoop of hummus. Drink was a blueberry, banana, Greek yogurt, and chia seed smoothie.

Lol, yeah, sometimes I like to delve into the dark side :-)
***Forgot to put the calories in my most recent food post: 13252 -
Decided that I want to work on upping calories a bit more, I'd like to get to 1500/day. I've only just begun my journey here at MFP and started with 1200/day, which is great for aggressive weight loss and I don't feel deprived or like I need more food. However, if I can banish pounds at 1500, even better, because when plateau time comes--and it will, lol--I want to be able to reduce my caloric intake within a healthy range. Unlike any other time I've tried to rid weight, I'm going with "slower is better" motto. It will take me a couple of weeks to up my calories with OMAD, I may need to expand my window, and my mind is prepared to accept smaller movements on the scale. All is good. :-)
It really is important for me to achieve this feat. At a certain point, my body will adjust to the super low intake and think that's all I need, and I'll stall on loss. When the stall happens, caloric deficit is needed and going below 1200 calories a day isn't healthy. I do not want to go from one unhealthy way of eating, overeating, to the other side of the spectrum, under-eating. I want to do this the healthiest way possible.
***When first starting OMAD, I learned and accepted that it's perfectly normal during the adjustment to eat way less than required because your body is getting used to it. Thankfully, it only took a week to adjust and be able to eat more. :-)
