    you're really good at getting back in control. I'll have to try the increased water. I normally have '0' thirst but I've been drink a lot more trying to get in 2 nuun electrolyte tabs a day. 157 here you come for sure!

    YOU GUYS :grumble:

    I lost 0.3 pounds - ZERO POINT THREE!!!

    After 3 straight weeks of 96 hour fasts?!?!!? I'm f-king done, DONE I TELL YOU!!! LOL

    JK I'm just hella frustrated - I don't know why my body is fighting me so hard!!! I had PERFECT fasts!! PERFECT!!! WTF!!!

    Anyway I guess I'm going to switch it up because obviously this isn't doing the trick SO I'm going back to straight OMAD today - weekends, weekdays, everything - JUST, omad. I'll see an upswing this week because of the lack of fasting but if I'm a good kid and follow it weekends too, I should start showing a loss in like 2-3 weeks I hope...I dunno what else to do y'all - how do you NOT lose on 4 full days a week fasting?!!??

    I'm moving on......................

    Ya that's def screwed up. Have you tried drinking more water?? haha couldn't resist.
    You're gonna have a huge drop! You have to. It's good to switch it up and keep the body guessing. I just like plain old omad because for me it's not really a big sacrifice that I dread. If I fasted sometimes then my head would tell me I couldn't lose weight without it. My head gets messed up easily. But...we're all different and you seem to have a very good handle on fasting and controlling head trips.
    You've done a fantastic job and you're at the finish line. You'll get there oh sooooo sooooon. <3

Its the same for me as I have fall off the wagon again :( So, I told myself to stop being fancy and just eat 1 Meal A Day and just stop after that :lol: I am sure you will see results soon <3 Lets OMAD together :)

    LMAO @jadepearl "stop being fancy" :D:D:D

    I LOLed, but you're RIGHT!!! Stop being FANCY!!! LOL Just OMAD IT UP!!!

    Thanks @katjustkat ...it DOES seem screwed up LMAO - I'm back on normal below TDEE OMAD - it'll do the job, it'll just take 2-3 weeks to get back under 160 which AGGRAVATES ME but whatever...gotta get 'er done LOL

    PS - Kat, I think my water MIGHT be ok LMAOOO :D:D in all seriousness I do still track it lightly, but I haven't been below a gallon in weeks LOL

    Steph you've got this! You're right on course. Ya...I looked up a gallon of water and it's 128 ounces. My drinking container only holds 20 ounces and it's kind of a pain always going to the frig to fill it back up. I think I had 4 today plus a cuppa coffee lol. But I'm gonna try to keep up the water. Maybe I'll find that it's a key factor that can get me on the right track. Wishing you positive vibes. <3

    Steph, it is a downer when your fasts don't yield you the expected results. My 3-day fasts have yielded little results in the last 4 or 5 months. I think going back to basic OMAD will do it for you. Keep your head up, you may have a whoosh in the near future.

    I hope so gals, because it IS super frustrating - if they were baby fasts or I was inconsistent or something, fine BUT PERFECT FASTS?!? MRAH! LOL

    Back on regular OMAD which simultaneously feels like a vaca and HORRIBLE (I hate OMADing and counting cals on the weekends...annoying LOL)

    Good luck! I’ve been pleasantly surprised that I don’t find OMADing on the weekends to be that challenging. I really thought I would because in previous years we’ve always taken weekends off from dieting.

    Steph ---the pics are cute....you are super tiny in the ones you posted!!!!

    It sucks that the fasts weren't that great---but maybe going back to OMAD is what you need?? Maybe you are where you need to be and the vanity pounds may be stubborn coming off........

    Cheering you on dear :) you got this!!

    Just checking in guys :) almost 2 full weeks of regular OMAD and down to 161.5 - I think by next week I'll be back down to 158 so THEN we'll be back on track and on a losing path - I'll post more once I hit that but right now it's just annoying time to get back down without the fasting *sigh* LOL

    Hi guys, sorry for being MIA - I love y'all I just got sick of being so focused on my diet and food - still OMADing - no gain or loss so all is well....it's a crazy week, had a near death experience last Friday (there was a pickup in front of my on the freeway, and their truck bed cover flew off and came through my windshield and a giant metal bar came through a few inches from my head) and then what i thought was a gallbladder attack almost sent me to the ER but an ultrasound later, turns out I just have a big ole' kidney stone AND a complex cyst on my kidney which now needs a CT etc.....

    It's just crazy and I haven't had time to focus on food and eating but no gain so I'll take it :)

    Thank God you are OK Steph, I know that had to be a frightening experience. I understand the need for a break and wish you well with the kidney stone and cyst. It's awesome that you are maintaining well.

    OMG! Thank goodness you are A-OK! <3 Hope the Docs will help you with your kidney stone issues...my Mom had that and she had to go for an op. Good luck <3
    I know what you mean as my weight is not moving either.

    Glad you're ok Steph, that's very scary <3

    I've been dealing with kidney stones for over 6 months, and been to the hospital 3 times for pain 🙁

    I hope that cyst turns out to be nothing to worry about. ((Hugs))
