Forgot to take pictures this weekend (I knew that habit would take some reforming), but did pretty ok on eating - 2MAD Sat and Sunday but I think my calories stayed pretty reasonable and I felt slimmer this morning, which is nice
Cedric came over Sat night and we had a lazyyyyyyyyyyy day yesterday...we didn't even get our butts outta bed until 3pm! IT. WAS. GLORIOUS.
TODAY, I'm at work but only for a half-day...I have a "baby surgery" this afternoon so I'll be taking it casually today but still OMADing...no fasting for me til later in the week.
Hope everyone had a super weekend and I'll catch up w the posts over the course of the day! Peace, love, and cupcakes y'all!0 -
Best of luck for the week - you are an inspiration!!!!!0

Way to get back into it!0

I hope your baby surgery went good

Baby surgery went alright - it was actually a little more surgical than I thought it was going to be (I was sort of saying "baby surgery" tongue in cheek but turns out...nope, actual surgery) AND they didn't give me any good drugs! But I'll survive LOL.
Onto the weekly fast now that I got through the procedure...going to do a 3 day this week so I can start to get some moment downward - hoping for 184 by Friday morning weigh in...that'd be 2.8 lbs this week which I'd be REALLY happy with Breaking the fast Friday evening OMAD.
Didn't have as much time to catch up with everyone yesterday as I'd like so I'll be bopping around some more today...hope everyone is easing nicely into their week

Yikes! Hope it was nothing serious and you're ok... Sucks about the drugs. They are pretty mean about handing them out these days - at least in Australia! (I guess there is good reason for that, but still, so UNFAIR...)0
-
Yeah, the pain is pretty much gone as of today so I'll stop complaining
It was a surgery called a LEEP - I didn't have to go under general anesthetic just local so it was a pretty easy outpatient surgery...everything should be good now
Checking in on fasting - per usual, up a solid 7 pounds after my eating days as of Monday...day 1 of fast done, down to 190.6...if precedence holds, that'll put me around 187 tomorrow and 184 for Friday which is right at goal Cross your fingers for me folks!
On a side note: I notice if I go off plan for a while, when I get back on track the "swings" up and back for my weekly extended fasts are more extreme until I'm back on track for a few weeks...anyone else see this? It doesn't bother me, just an observation :-D
Happy VALENTINE'S DAY everyone! It's one of my fave days of the year! Sending love and light to all of you!!

Glad you are recovering well and back on track. I am only a bit over one week in so it is good to know if you go off track to expect a jump like that. Glad to be warned so I wouldn't panic!
Best of luck for your goals this week! #staystrong!

I'm praying that your LEEP surgery is successful 0

I jump a LOT from my full fast days to my "normal" days...I think it varies depending on the person, but an example of a normal week for me would be:
Weigh in Thurs - 190
Weigh in Mon (Day extended fast starts) - 198
Fast day 1 - 194
Fast day 2 - 191
Fast day 3 (will break fast tonight) - 188
As you can see - there is a LOT of variance but the bottom line is that weigh-in to weigh-in is a 2 pound loss...as long as it continues in that direction, I'm happy I was out of pattern for a long while being extremely sick so my "swings" seem large like that right now - when I'm back in it the swings will probably be closer to 6 pounds but as long as the trend is going down, I'll take it!
This is not classic OMAD but it's what I find works for me 0 -
Good luck and wish you well!0

Whatever works! I think as long as you know that pattern it's all good... I still wish I had the willpower to do a longer fast. I think the health benefits are amazing. Maybe one day...0 -
Sarah - trust me, it's only because I'm an all-or-nothing person...this whole "moderation" thing is not my strong suit usually...SO this way I can have my freedom on my eating days and don't even have to think about food during my fasts. MOST people look at me like I'm crazy when they find out about it, but between the health benefits and the weight loss I care NOT what they think LOL - the kid that sits next to me at works gives me sh** about it all the time...I just tell him to read up on it and report back LOL
CHECK IN - weigh-in day 2 - GOOD NEWS
Down to 187.6 - Precedence is holding, and another 3 down today...if that holds I should hit my 184 weekly goal tomorrow morning. AND....ANDDDDDDDDDDDD it's "that time of the month" (every 3 months for me but you get the gist) so you KNOW there's a pound or 4 of extra weight from that LOL. It's giving me great hope that being back under 180 by the end of Feb is totally feasible...Final weekly weigh-in tomorrow morning and I'll keep ya updated.
Next week, we'll do M-T-W fast and weigh in Thurs morning for a final month weight
SIDE NOTE: the last 2 nights I've had 2 pickles each night...not enough to pull me out of fasting but I was a little worried about the salt...doesn't seem to be affecting anything but I'll play around with it come next month once this darn TOM is over LOL - TOO MANY VARIABLES!

I can't fast for 3 days in a row because I get dizzy and weak but if it's working for you then more power to ya!!! 0

Wow how incredible!!! Can't wait to see your number tomorrow. I like having little goals each week/month makes me feel like I am moving in the right direction!!

Ya know...I never get that issue,thankfully - probably because I consume large amounts of caffiene LOL - anywho, once I hit maintenance I'll probably go to just standard OMAD for a while to see how my body reacts to that before I employ a pattern like you do 1 -

I always have goals, long term, short term, all of em...they help motivate me! Plus it helps keep me on track when the cravings hit...I'll keep you updated

Way to go girlie!! You are kicking it!1

You're gonna catch up to me before you know it!1

Welp guys - the TOM has caught up to me and I'm only down a little less than a pound from last week...seeing as I'm EXHAUSTED today it's bothering it more than I should...I know it's bloat weight from my lady-time but my emotions are getting the best of me this morning *sigh*
SO here's the weigh-in:
Last week: 186.8
Today: 186.? (it kept toggling so I'm calling it 186)
I'm sure next week it'll look like I dropped a lot more than I did once I shake this water weight. Until then my mantra is "trust the process, run the play - trust the process, run the play" - need some good vibes today my peeps...might do a little meditation at lunch to help center me.
On the bright side, EATING TONIGHTTTTTTTT! What should I have y'all?! I usually have things all planned out but I have to go grocery shopping SO it might be a little hodge-podge...I'm open to ideas though (even takeout ideas! I love me a good takeout!)
OH, now that I said that I kinda want Indian food lmao. We'll see! Stay tuned as I update you next week (reminder: I can't post pics from home so I won't have pics until Monday BUT I'll try really hard to remember to take them LOL)

Phew! I'm finally caught up on reading through your thread! Very much like Tracey, I appreciate you documenting so many of the intricate details of your journey, Steph. The two of you have got me eager to succeed!
As for good vibes... I'm sending 'em your way! I'm half South Asian, so I always cast my vote for Indian food.
Hearty, delicious, flavorful... yum, yum! You'll have to circle back and let us know what you decided on for food! 0 -

Hope it helps...I mostly document for myself to go back and read but I hope you got something from it You're going to ROCK IT OUT!
LOL yeah I love me some ethnic food! I'm the least picky eater on the planet so I love it all! Now that it's in my head I'm pretty sure some chicken tikka masala and/or biryani is in my immediate future (There's a freakin' AMAZING Indian restaurant about 2 miles from work so it's perfect)...I'll probs supplement that with some snacks and a salad and fruit. The re-feed is my favorite day so I try to make it something I LOVE
