Feeling good today! Not my official weigh-in day, but clocked 198.0 lbs on the scale. My jeans are also little bit looser around the waist/abdomen.0

So um....today started off as a really good fast day. I didn't eat breakfast. Didn't brew any coffee or stop at McDonald's for a vanilla latte...
When I got to school this morning a Kindergarten teacher (I teach 1st grade) showed up at morning playground duty with an extra coffee for me.
So.....I drank it. Which totally broke my fast and ended up with me going to McDonald's for lunch. And THEN...ended up having what I had originally planned as my OMAD feast....Crab Legs, rolls, watermelon and rice.
Haha. Tomorrow is another day.

That's so interesting! If I have coffee, my appetite disappears for at least a few hours. It's so funny how our bodies are all so different.
Good luck today!0 -
I had a little trouble at first adjusting to drinking my coffee black. I then found that cold brewed coffee is amazing, and now I don't think I could ever go back to cream/sugar.1

I've totally moved over to black coffee... Never ever thought I'd be able to do that, but I totally enjoy it now.1

I cannot drink coffee black, I drink mine mixed with light hot chocolate
Once my husband brought me home a subway and it was my day to do LC/OMAD, I just said screw it and ate it anyway and I even had chips with it...It doesn't happen anymore because I told him to make sure he asks me first!!!1 -
Good luck with OMAD.
I can't drink my coffee black either. I usually have about 5-6 cups of coffee a day with all sorts of milk - soy, full fat, skim (whatever's in the fridge really). I also tried half-half and cream when I was in the US and I've realised why so many use them. So delicious!1 -

I'm very curious about making the switch to black coffee. Maybe this is something that I can do? @Brendalea69 Tell me more about putting hot chocolate in it? I like to drink something warm in the morning....0

I get Swiss Miss Light Hot Chocolate, it has 25 calories and only 4 carbs and I mix one packet with 1/2 Tbsp. of instant coffee...I will drink this either before or after my meal 1 -
