    March 1st-April 1st are Fridays LOL

    PERFECTIONNNNN!!!! 4 weeks, so we need to average 3.25 pounds a week...that's AGGRESSIVE but I'm willing to give it a shot :)

    To break it down:
    Deficit:
    11,375 cals/wk or 1,625 cals/day

    I burn an average of 2300 cals day so I spose I'd have to average 900 cals/day or 6300/week. If I assume 500 cals on my 3 mini fast days, that leave me with 4800 for Fri-Sun or 1600/day weekends.

    MEH that's pretty restrictive for me...PERHAPS I'll just really make sure in MM I stick to OMAD on my weekends...that'll help keep my cals closer to where I need to be. It'll be interesting to see how the numbers play out :)

    WOW that is super aggressive, but I am in for the challenge...….Hoping for that huge number, but if not, it will fore me to be more mindful of what I am eating and how much, even on those omad days!

    Let's go!

    I would LOVE to drop 13 pounds in March! I feel like I am probably closer to 160 after the post-sickness eating I did, so I may be going for 145 to y'all's 155. I'm in for the challenge!

    It IS aggressive but I'm hoping - I will weigh-in in a few mins and letcha know where we're starting for the week - I was pretty good for the most part staying at TDEE so we'll see what damage the salt and glycogen did LOL

    Good luck on your scales.....I am back to OMAD after a weekend of not being on it.....mostly just OMAD and a small snack but my meals were ramen Friday, pizza Saturday, and wings sunday…...All had large salads with them, but those dang girl scout cookies...……

    Ok guys, we have our work cut out for us - 177.6. Basically a full 10 pounds to move by Friday LOL.

    Had a great weekend of eating - I'll have a few pics here in a sec :) Stayed *mostly* within my TDEE even with a 2mad Friday :) I had pizza and salad at lunch Friday, and then Wendy's for dinner :) Saturday I have Culver's Spicy chicken sammy with cheese curds and a strawberry malt. Yesterday, as Sunday always is, was cooking day. Bone broth on the stove early, and did roasted chicken with garlic mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy made with home-drawn smaltz and bone broth, slow-cooked cabbage, and salad :)

    Pictures :)
    Ced's Dinner -
    1dddfyhh4ot8.png


    Mine - put my chicken on top of a salad with ranch...I did eat a few bites of taters and gravy too but tried to stick with mostly protein and veggies - and then immediately followed it by SO MUCH ice cream. I got Heath, Reeses, and the best ice cream I've literally ever had in my life - Ben&Jerry's Red Velvet cake. I'm not even exaggerating, if I hadn't originally gotten it for Ced and promised him some, I would have FOUND calories to eat the whole thing...I'm not joking even a little. BEST ice cream I've ever had, and it's not even close. Also I had some noodlies with egg yolks before my salad too :)

    7bg48dkadjdd.png

    ANYWAY in order to move these 10 pounds this week, I'm sticking with LOW CARB LOW SALT all week...ie no salt on my steamed veggies, no apples that I'd normally have...basically some combination of bone broth and any of the following: celery, cucs, baby carrots (limited), steamed broccoli, steamed cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce.

    MAYBE I'll have a little chicken thigh tomorrow or Weds if I'm ahead of pace...MAYBE - I'd almost rather not chance it LOL - but we'll see :)

    OMG you had me at red velvet ice cream <3<3<3 I love love love anything red velvet and have to find some ASAP....before March 1st LOL.....

    Your meals looks great, and here's to getting those 10lbs off by Friday!

    You got this girl!

    Dude - DO NOT buy this unless it's before the 1st LMAO - seriously, my guilt over not having any left for Ced was the only reason I didn't eat it all :neutral::neutral::neutral:

    I LOVE ice cream. It is literally my favorite food! I am planning to get an ice cream maker soon so I can start making some keto ice cream. That red velvet sounds soooo good! And I know exactly what you mean -- there are many times when I have told someone I will save them something, and that is the only thing that has kept me from eating the whole thing. And then I will sometimes dig into their portion juuuuuust a little before handing it over!
    Good luck on your 10-pound plan!

    Luckily my hubs isn't a fan so I can eat the whole thing...OMG they better have it in Nash.....I may have to pay you to ship me some if I can't find it here...…*drooling*

    My weekend was on the same line as yours. I totally overdid it and was up to 174 on Sunday morning. I didn't weigh this morning. I also did not do my water fast day as I was off and hanging out with the hubby who wanted to go out for lunch and I couldn't let him eat by himself. I ended up getting a BLT sandwich. I will do my full fast on Thursday. I am determined to make 168 on Friday so the rest of the week I have to stay on plan.

    Yassssssssssss good vibes! Trace, my weekend was actually LOWER than normal, I just had a *kitten* week in salt levels LOL - that being said, I'm also QUITE determined to hit that number...gotta if I have any chance at 155 in March.

    I'm feeling pretty light this morning after this mini-fast:

    Ok guys - 174.6

    3 pounds overnight - I'm happy with that. If I get another 3 tonight, we'll stick with the previous plan. If NOT then I'm going to do a 72 hour tonight through weigh in :) HOWEVER, I have a feeling I'll shift another 3 tonight if I stick to my low carb mini-fast.

    Other than that, fires to put out at work so I'm off to take care of that...happy Tuesday OMADers :)

    Hahaha! I love that! I also sometimes weigh the night before to see what my body did over the course of the day, but I am trying to not do that because I become so obsessed! Which gym is giving out free shirts? The one at your job?

    LOL yes the work one - I had to pick it up from the gym...we got it for joining our work contest LOL. It just also happens to be where the locker room is, and thus where my morning weigh-in scale is LOL Here, I made one of my co-workers take a picture so I could post it LOL - sorry for the horrible angle...he refused to stand up :p

    Ok guys - 172.6 today so full fasting until after Friday weigh in. I haven't done a 72 hour in a long while anyway, so let's give it a shake-up :)

    I have a picture of last night's mini-fast but it's being annoying so I'll post it later.

    Not much else exciting to report, but stay tuned :)

    OH ALSO - I'm going to be posting my MM post the following day and recaping the previous day...for completion, being thorough, and any leftover thoughts :)
