Hi everyone,
I have decided to start a log to track my progress since the weeks keep adding up in my weight loss journey and I sort of realized this is going to take many months , so I better have a place to keep tabs and also share with other OMADers
I haven't been fat all my life, I actually was fairly fit, into sports etc my weight stayed around the 170's up until 7 years ago in 2010 when a series of high stress events in my personal life caused me to adopt some unhealthy behaviors, no one to blame but myself, fast forward to 2017 and I had gained around 70 lbs.
anyway , my height 5'11 and my goal weight for now is 160 lbs. I'm not sure how low I'm gonna have to go to get to rid of all the fat, I used to be decently lean at around 178 lbs but after all the damage I've done to my body I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I have been going at it for 13 weeks now, the last 6 weeks doing OMAD, chart bellow are my numbers(credit to @jvcinv)
WK........ Weight.....Week Chg.....Total......To Reach Goal
0.............238.6.................................................... 78.6 ....(started plant based diet) 03/06/17
1.............237.4...............-1.2..........-1.2..............77.4
2.............232.6...............-4.8..........-6.0..............72.6
3.............229.0...............-3.6..........-9.6..............69.0
4.............224.8...............-4.2..........-13.8............64.8
5.............223.8...............-1.0..........-14.8............63.8
6.............223.0...............-0.8..........-15.6............63.0
7.............221.8.............. -1.2..........-16.8.......... 61.8 ....(started OMAD) 04/24/2017
8.............218.4...............-3.4..........-20.2............58.4
9............214.8...............-3.6...........-23.8............54.8
10...........211.0...............-3.8..........-27.6...........51.0
11...........208.2...............-2.8..........-30.4...........48.2
12...........204.4...............-3.8..........-34.2...........44.4
13...........201.6...............-2.8..........-36.0...........41.6
now the diet is whole food plant based, with no added sugar/oils/salt
fruit/vegetables/grains/legumes/tubers/nuts/seeds
supplements
-B12
-ground flax seed/DHA (omega 3 support)
-probiotic
-glucosamine (joint support)
-BCAAs (get me through workouts)
for exercise I do lifting,swimming and walking
here is a nice outfit I hanged front and center so every time I walked into my closet I can visualize where I need to be , warm up shirt size MEDIUM and a some swimming jammers size 32 , my goal is to comfortably fit into those for my swimming workouts haha
not sure if only women do this type of stuff but I don't care, whatever it takes
I will be updating this log with weekly weight ins , everyone is welcome to post

I would love to be totally plant based. But, as I've mentioned before... Cheese. I did do it for about 8 or 9 months, just fell off the wagon in about April.0

Rock steady weight loss there, roughly 3 pounds per week. You're well on your way.1

I hear you on the cheese, casomorphins are no joke haha. I was afflicted with mild random headaches since I was a kid, when I took out the dairy the headaches are gone for the first time in my life, I always though that because my mom use to have migraines it was just genetics and I just had a mild version of it, turns out dairy was the culprit, so at least I have an extra incentive to stay clear, not so much cheese but ice cream1

credit to OMAD that kicked my behind into high gear, I had been losing since the beginning, but was all over the place prepping meals and tbh felt like I was losing steam, doubting myself but with OMAD everything clicked
funny story, I tried some coconut ice cream the other day (a bit of a splurge day) I hadn't touched any ice cream in 3 months and I BURNED my tongue wtf didn't know that was even possible with ice cream

Hooray and welcome to Onderland!!0

Congrats!0

That meal looks perfect to me... I can never understand how meat eaters think you can't get full without eating meat (or get enough calories).1

"But, but, where do they (vegetarians) get their protein?" LOL Those types of meat-eaters are just as annoying and self-righteous as certain groups of vegans. Nothing more irritating than the willfully ignorant. :-/1 -
Yippee welcome to Onederland

funny how it works, I strayed off my diet today
it was around 1pm and I wasn't really hungry but I thought "who the hell I'm trying to impress trying to be perfect here" so I went out and got me some almond butter and apricot jam, pass by my fav bakery I hadn't visited in a while and got me a fresh baked French baguette
bam, fixed a yummy almond butter and jelly sandwich
around 340 cals for the baguette
440 cals for the almond butter
150 cals for the apricot jam
total around 910 cals, no regrets
now tmw I can go on with the grind

Aww, those are the best kind of splurges... something you rarely enjoy and have no guilt about it afterwards. Good on you! 0
-
When I had a splurge, I thought it must have been needed and I think they were.1

@newmwadow you can pour some olive oil in your salad, is not the end of the world, it doesn't have to be all or nothing thing, the more whole plant foods in your diet the better
there are also some no oil dressings you can try, I picked up one at the store is mango based, but there are recipes online you could try, good thing about this way of eating is there are tons of options out there for you to try, so many flavors/textures/way to do things I just cook super simple1 -
I'm with New Meadow--I just can't stand true greens, and I loathe all salads (except taco salads). I have to smoothie them down. Gonna do a video on what I've started doing simply because I despise them! Gotta be honest about it! lol
