    If your referring to my feast, you wouldn't be jealous of the 4-lbs I went up. I think you were referring to Brenda though with all that yummy food she mentioned.

    It's a chocolate pudding pie I make from scratch....

    Whisk together in a saucepan 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/4 cups Sugar, 1/3 cup Corn Starch, 1/4 tsp. Salt and 3 cups milk...whisk continuously over med heat until it starts to bubble and then continue whisking for about a minute until thick...Remove from heat and whisk in 3 Tbsps. Butter and 1 1/2 tsps. Vanilla...Then I put it into the fridge until it cools and then put it in a cooked pie crust shell or you could eat it as a pudding :)

    That sounds AMAZING! I am definitely going to make that at some point! I wonder if it would work with Nutella... :p

    I don't think so but you could make a nutella glaze to go on top or you could mix nutella with cool whip and top it that way :)

    That sounds good, too! I was thinking of using the Nutella in place of some of the milk and getting rid of the sugar and cocoa. Maybe Nutella and a few tablespoons or so of milk and some of the cornstarch. I may play around with that. Either way, I will be making some type of chocolate pie now!

    My max is 200. I was right there Monday morning. I was down to 198 this morning. Eating big for a few days in a row can add up quickly!

    Brenda, are you having low carb meals on your OMAD days? I’m just amazed at how you can drop 3 pounds overnight! I can only manage 2 usually, and that’s with a water fast! Except for when I was LC/keto, of course.

    I might do a really low carb day (Eggs and meat only) if I want to lose faster but lately I've just been eating a small plate...Sunday for my OMAD I had a a handful of chips and a hot turkey sandwich with miracle whip, stuffing and gravy, not sure how many carbs but I'm sure it was high...I think I have a higher loss after a Splurge day but then it slows down if I have a few OMAD days in a row.

    That is consistent with your data, I always gain a couple of lbs after a splurge day too.
