Hi everyone,
I started OMAD on Monday 2-5 after losing about 35 pounds during 2017. Then came the holidays and I got lazy and hit a plateau which caused me to just basically say screw it

. I have done a lot of research on OMAD and wanted to give it a try.
My current weight is 196 and my ultimate goal weight is 150. I am taking this 10lbs at a time and hoping this will be a success for me!
I am on day three and so far have felt great. The first couple of days I did have a headache but I have been drinking tons of water and black coffee and that seems to help. I can truly say I haven't really been hungry during the day at all. I never have been a breakfast person so that part has been super easy. The issue I have is stress eating (chocolate) and it is so bad during the office hours

.
I eat my one meal around 6 or 630 and am finished within an hour. I have noticed that I am sleeping so much better!!!!! I haven't been on the scale yet (although tempted) but I did notice even today a pair of pants felt loser than last week! So yay!
Looking forward to the OMAD journey!

I am trying to wean myself off creamer in my coffee and have cut back a ton on that, but is there a calorie amount that is okay that would keep you in the fasting state?
Happy Friday!

I only drink water when fasting and only use the coconut oil when I can't make it. It does break the fast a little but it will not make me hungrier like about anything else will so it is much better for me to do that than not have anything to eat around me except snack bar stuff and then pig out on that stuff. It's a trade off for me but very worth it.

What I have enjoyed:
* Felt more energized during OMAD days
* Did not feel a mental fog that often would occur during work
* Really enjoyed my OMAD meal at night, the food actually tasted better
* Didn't have to stress over logging, weighing food, etc.
* Wasn't really hungry during the day. there was one day last week when my stomach did growl but other than that I felt the week was super easy! Just drank lots of water and coffee
Had a normal day on Saturday with an omelet for breakfast and a normal dinner, no snacking through the day though. Sunday was just some yogurt for breakfast and normal dinner.
This has been great so far, looking forward to week 2 and more progress! Reading all of your updates has been very motivating!
*Happy Monday*

One meal makes it easy, there isn't a constant choice at multiple meals to be made about if I've eaten all I can right now or not. The only decision is to not eat completely tell the eating window.
So I just had to weigh this morning. I have done really good Monday/Tuesday and I my clothes were not so tight so I broke my once a week rule and stepped on the scales.
