    Nice Brenda! You've got it down to a science, which is nice because you can play with it depending on your goal at the time! :)

    Goal weight now is 122

    Nov 11...128
    Nov 18...128

    By doing OMAD 3 days a week and TMAD 4 days a week I stayed the same weight so I will save this plan for when I want to just maintain and for losing mode I'm going to do OMAD for 5 days and TMAD for 2 days...Wish me luck o:)

    Good luck! It's important to know what it takes to maintain versus what it takes to lose.

    Is TMAD two or three meals a day? I like to use the numbers (2MAD or 3MAD).

    2 meals... and that would be easier for others to figure out so I'll start calling it 2MAD from now on too, thanks :)

    You could do your own Thanksgiving...I'm having one at my parents and one at home with just my husband <3

    So I've decided to give up on trying to get down to 122, I've been obsessing about it so much that it's driving crazy so from now on it's just going to be basic OMAD with a 1 or 2 splurge day thrown in.

    Good for you, Brenda! You look amazing and I bet you feel amazing just as you are right now! And it seems like your body really likes being at this weight.

    Yeah you totally look awesome so no point stressing over some random number on the scale. If your body wants to get there it will. The lady who runs a FB group I’m in has been in maintenance for a couple of years now and she said she is still slowly losing fat, like very slowly. I think her goal weight was 135 and she’s now in the mid 120s. She does OMAD every day (but more than one plate, more like a snack and then a meal and dessert spread out over a few hours).

    Thanks and yes I think my body wants me to be this weight and I'm just going to accept it :)
