    Brenda you are doing superbly on your continued maintenance. How do you fill your days and do you have weak moments or is it just all plain routine for you now? Each time I veer off even a tinge...it's challenging for me to get it back together. I'm afraid it's never gonna be smooth sailing for me. I was effortlessly slim in my earlier life...never even knew what a diet was...and then boooom...3-5 pound accumulation year after year no matter how much time I spent in the gym. I think this body has my mind just saying "what the heck". haha...uhhhhhh :s:#

    Thanks, I babysit my 1 year old grandson and that keeps me pretty busy...I have days when I'm really hungry and just want to eat everything in sight but I dont because I know Im going to be eating soon...I know how you feel because I've been dieting for 30 years and this is the first time I've actually kept the weight off so just know that it can be done :)

    I think that it is a great testimonial for OMAD when people have struggled with dieting for many years and then are able to get it under control with OMAD. You all are more diligent than me. this is only my second diet. Eating small meals was a non-starter for me. I knew I would last about 1-day doing that! I did try losing weight by exercise about a million times though but would always fail there.

    It might only be your second diet but you figured it out and that's awesome!!!

    So true, @Brendalea69! Although I’m glad to have found intermittent fasting a couple of years ago, I wish I hadn’t spent 20 years before that fighting the hunger and eventual failure of diet plans that promoted three tiny meals and two tinier snacks.

    I admire the effort though. I didn't even try.

    Def lil kids keep you busy. I mercy sit sometimes and food never enters my mind. Ok so you do have moments but you have your mental in check. It's weird because I feel like no challenge at all for months and then something breaks down fast in my mind ( seconds) then it's so hard to get things right again. But...OMAD is the best because what in the world is easier than doing nothing at all! To me there is no other diet ( way of eating) that has ever felt right in the long run but OMAD really does probably because I don't do heavy duty restrictions. I'm gonna stop thinking and just engage the auto pilot. ;)

    Brenda, you are so great at maintaining. Congratulations on getting back to under 130 so quickly. I find OMAD really helps with my control too.

    Here's to a great 2018 for all of us!

    I am determined 2018 will be the year of consistency for me. My goal is to maintain below 160 pounds. Looking forward to posting consistent numbers like you. I wish I could post updates to previous posts it is so much easier to keep up that way.
