    Thanks Everyone :) I love love love not counting calories, it's so freeing!!!

    @blambo61 Yes back in the saddle again!!! :p

    @vanguard1 yes that was very weird but everyone has their own opinion and my opinion is this "As long as what each person is doing is working for then then I say just do it!!!" :p

    Thanks Everyone :)

    When I was doing the 16:8 plan I was eating too much in my 8 hour eating window, so I know that by doing this plan I will be having more OMAD days and since I like to eat A LOT at one time :p
    I believe that the Bear Maintenance Plan will be the right plan for me :)
