Steph so what is your fasting routine right now?...
you do weekly 48h fasts? or randomly?
Great pictures of great food choices yummie!
Monty and Ryu give their thumbs up to you big time!
MOST weeks I do a 72 hour fast from Sunday night to Weds night - depending on the week sometimes I do what I call a "mini fast" on the first night of my ext fast, meaning I just eat 5/2 style (like less than 500 cals) and then a standard fast on the second day. I won't this week because I got really overboard yesterday so I need to flush all this salt etc out of my body LOL.0 -
I've never tried that and don't think I could last doing it. More power to ya!0

Just catching up after a long weekend packing!
I didn't end up having champagne like I planned BUT I did end up having a mushroom risotto with champagne on Sunday that was made for the gods! It hit the SPOT!
Sandy, LOL! You know, sometimes you really crave fast food and nothing else will do. There have been sometimes where I really, really wanted waffle fries from Chick-fil-A. I would make up a batch at home and it was fine, but not the same! No hate over here!
Steph, Chinese is always a hit for me. I can eat Chinese everyday and never get tired. Same with Indian!0 -

AGREED! I get sick of Chinese really fast BUT when you're in the mood, nothing else will do it! But Indian? Indian I could easily eat er'ry day!0 -
UPDATE - so I decided to do a "soft" 96 hour "fast" this week LMAO...basically i did a mini-fast yesterday (I call it a mini-fast, but really it's just a SUPER low cal day) with about 80 or so cals and I will do the same tonight and Weds I'll go straight water fast. We'll see if that shakes things up a little. I needed something a little som'thin som'thin to keep 'er going after last week's huge drop so hopefully this does the trick. Weigh in Thursday

Thanks ladies!
@sammygold2015 agreed! I like changing it up now and again just to see the results...maybe I'll try lowering my daily cals but going straight OMAD sometime in the next month or two...we shall see!
@minigrrll Babe, so are you! We're gonna hit our July goals I just feel it!0 -
I feel like there is tons of ways to change it up. I am still a newbie to this way of life, I mean I do not consider barely "3" weeks a life change. Once I feel like I need a change, I will be implementing your take of different trials.0

Yeah, I guess that counts right! Friday is my "official" weigh in... And I could conveniently forget to weigh on Monday! Done!0

Morning guys! Here's my mini fast meal from yesterday:
Salad with zero cal dressing, pickles, sauerkraut, and mushroom with onions and garlic and crushed red peppers. Finished with some sugar free popsicles and a few cashews (not pictured). Total cals 190.
Weigh in tomorrow - today is a full water fast. PRAY FOR ME...I need 1.4 pounds for July goalllllllllll.
Have a super day OMADers!

Yay, Sarah and Steph! You're so close! I know I am nowhere near my July goal, but I am so happy for you both!
Also yummmmmm at your meal! Thank you for putting the calories because that really puts things into perspective for me. That looks a lot like one of my pre-moving meals, and it's not even 200 calories! I am going to concentrate on eating more from now on. I am definitely going to calculate next week's meals.0 -

YASSSSSSSSSS @brittdee88 !!!! It was a mini fast so I couldn't have the champagne (BOO!) but the mushrooms were still so good! I liked them spicy! Although I can't do that normally cause I'm sharing with my mama @cindyglass2 and she's a wimp with spice (Love you, mama) LOL. I definitely couldn't eat it all, so much fiber! But it was delish, full of fiber and nutrients (and unf sodium!), colorful, and WAYY better than water fasting (though less effective).
All in all, I think I'll be RIGHT on the edge of hitting that goal tomorrow 2 -
@minigrrll and @mistymeadows2005, me three!!! My weigh is Friday. I was 180.6 today and hoping it holds. Here's to July!!! Woohoo!!
Steph, your minifast meal looks fabulous, btw 0 -
I can relate to spice wimps - my fiance is one! That's the one thing I never have to worry about him swiping: things covered in hot sauce!
And YAAAAAY, @wsandy8512! I'm so proud of you ladies!0 -

I'm SO EXCITED FOR US! I think your number will hold Sandy - esp since you're just coming off of a meal out! Sometimes those long fasts are exactly what we need to do to shake it up and get our bodies going "OH! ok!" lol...
And thanks! That sucker was so filling....for like 2 hours, but still! 1 -

Haaaa, wonder how hot sauce would be on a blood orange though? Didn't your fiancé swipe half of yours a week or so ago?
My hubby can handle a bit of spice, a bit wimpy if he eats something too spicy, "My *kitten* is burning!!!!", but I am spice girl! Give me the wasabi, the habanero peppers, the ghost peppers, and don't forget the pepper flakes! Haha

Fingers crossed and I'm excited for us, too! The 180 gals are fixing to break into the 170s! Woot!
Lol, well, two is better than none, maybe. I'd rather just not eat that eat that little. Lol

It didn't feel like "little" at the time LOL - it kept me not hungry until bedtime which was nice - but I was right back to hungry when I woke up 1 -

OMG I actually do put hot sauce on fruit sometimes... lol. It's a leftover habit from when I was teaching in Houston! But I usually put it on mangoes and pineapples! Never tried on oranges. I may try that!
Also YUM to that second paragraph. That made me hungry!1 -
I LOVE SPICY!!! I have never put it on fruit though - may have to try... 1

I think my dream of getting to 181 may have been crushed... I weighed in at 183.5 today and tomorrow is weigh-day and we always eat out on Thursdays (tonight). I guess I wasn't being the sharpest knife in the drawer when I came up with the bright plan of having weigh-day after a day we always go out for dinner! Ha!
Still... Maybe I'll see something happen on the weekend. We can't drink on Saturday night because we will be driving to watch an Xmas in July concert, so that may be in my favour!!0
