Yeah they are super easy I especially like the cucumbers, celery, carrots, that is more filling and at least is nutritious unlike the empty calories in the hot fudge sundae but boy oh boy was it yummy!!!!!! I wish I didn't like all things ice cream...….0

Did someone say icecream?!?!?!

I think for me it might just take having some staple mini meals that I can have without thinking about it.
That's EXACTLY what I do - I always have on hand: Romaine, celery, cucs, baby carrots, bone broth, and broc/cauliflower to steam, and perhaps some fruit...it's almost always some combination there of, and then I just adjust spices or pick what I'm in the mood for (ie if I'm lazy and don't feel like steaming stuff I just heat the broth and munch on the rest LOL)0 -

I love all things ice cream👍😍 & good luck with your water fast👍0

I hope your knee is healing nicely and I hope you have a loss tomorrow even with all the spinning you're doing

I feel like you should be ok because you've been in "spinning mode" for a little while now At least I hope so! Let us know if you water fast, and how it goes if you do
0 -
I did manage the water fast yesterday until after the late baseball game and I had a few fries from the golden arches (McDS)…..still count it as a win...…will be weighing later.....stay tuned.....

I do have a question in regards to the mini fasts. What is the recommended calorie limit for mini-fasting? I did 650 calories yesterday. Is there a recommended range or formula like half your daily calorie allotment?0
-
I don't have a definite answer but I would think it would be about 1/2 of your daily calories. @mistymeadows2005 may know for certain.0

I consider my mini-fasts to be defined by 500ish cals or less (otherwise I just think of it as a low cal OMAD day...but that's just mentally for me LOL) - REALLY the point of the mini-fasts for me is mentally have something to eat and to physically get all the nutrients I miss out on over the weekend...I ATTEMPT to make them low carb too to minimize the glycogen collection but if not, I don't really worry about it 0 -
I was just thinking 650 calories was probably too much and was more low cal than mini fast. I think the 500 calories is more in the proper range. The modified ADF calorie standard is 500 calories.
I am developing my new strategy and I just want to make sure I am setting things up right.
I am putting March behind me and looking forward to great losses in the months to come.1 -

GOOD IDEA! Onward and upward (or in our case, DOWNWARD LOL)!!!
Mini fasts are part of my regular schedule so if you want any input just holla' at me

Weigh in today;
168 even.....so .5 for the week....pretty sucky for sure but I am moving on.....
The spinning has been great for my strength in my knee and i can even start to tell that a couple of inches may have also come off so I am remembering that muscle weighs more than fat and that I will get there even slowly.....
Not sure for my April goal in terms of a number. I would like to be aggressive and say 158 but more realistic would be 162 (6lbs)…….
Looking forward to awesome weekend!!!
Awesome April here we come!0 -
At least it's a loss, here's to a better April 0
-
YAY FOR A LOSS! March is behind us, and on to April!
Why don't you split the difference and go 160? 2 pounds a week is a LOT anyway! 0 -
OH ALSO before I forget - I did the math and I only lost 4.8 pounds in March, so really 1 pound a week seems to be the new black
0 -
Congrats on your loss👍 I wish I can loose 1 lb per week but it seems my body is just too stubborn. Let's loose more weight in April, we can do it.👍0

The weekend was super busy and food was on the top of the list:
Friday night was a Greek spicy chicken plate (ate half) and then some red velvet B/J ice cream @mistymeadows2005 finally found it
Saturday was a early baseball game, had some nachos/jalapenos at the field, thin crust supreme pizza, and salad for dinner and some angel food cake with berries.
Last night was a dinner/meeting out, had pork tenderloin, green beans, mashed pot., and a piece of cherry lime cake
For April --- I will continue with spinning 4-5 times per week as well as OMAD M-F and then 2MAD on Sat/Sun where I won't count cals. During my OMAD I need to do a better job of tracking cals. for the meals, as well as getting enough water throughout the day. I have been a slacker on both. I also need to be more mindful of the portion sizes as well. I just need to analyze everything and make sure to stay on track.
Starting weight for the month was 168 even. I am hoping to be at 160 at the end of April which is aggressive but I can totally do it...….. Amazing Awesome Analytical April to my OMAD Friends

YASSSSSSSSSS wasn't it amazing?! SO high cal but worth it! LOL I'm now onto Halo Top simply because I can eat so much of it!!!
I like the 160! 2 pounds a week IS aggressive but if you're diligent, you can do it! The spinning actually sounds kinda fun...wish I could exercise away my pain
Sounds like the food and entertainment was there though 0 -
I can never say No to ice-cream.😜 I wish I can do spinning but there's no gym here in my little town. Let's loose more weight this April👍👌0

Ewwwwwwwwwwww pollen is the worst!!! Take advantage of the days when the hunger stays quiet - I always do and am ALWAYS glad I did! Plus it gives me more wiggle room for days like yesterday when I needed more 0 -
Me toooooooooo..... hubby and I had the worst hayfever during spring and summer. This year, the pollen was really really bad
Feel better soon and hope that the medicine works 0 -
Today’s Date: April 2
Todays Plan: OMAD
Weight Goal for the Month: 160
FRIDAY WEIGHT: 168
TODAY'S WEIGHT: 167
Today’s Water Consumed: a LOT
Today’s Exercise completed (calories burned if desired): None
Hours slept: 7ISH
Description/Photo of Meals: Greek triple zero cupcake yogurt (80 cals), subway grilled chicken on wheat 6inch 1/2 bag of baked lays chips ~700 cals. Deficit 500
Thoughts: Today was a good day --late night with baseball so dinner was super later than normal but I held out and had a sugar free red bull during the game to try to ignore the smell from the concession stand of funnel fries.....OMG drool.....I will have them, just not this week…….
For some reason this morning I wanted to weigh (my day is Friday) but I just felt the urge this morning and it was worth it down 1lb since Friday WhAT?????? WOOHOOO......I had a mini fast on Monday and then last night was super low cal so it paid off......just need to finish strong for the week which is totally doable……...Would be awesome to see 165 on Friday …….
Stay strong!0 -
NICE BABE! I love the downward trend! A pound a night if you're tight on your OMAD/Mini Fasts is totes doable!
Just a suggestion because I love giving them LOL - I'd have a normal fufilling omad tonight and then fast Thursday for your weigh in if it were me! That was I'd have a nice full meal tonight and have no glycogen or bloat variables in my weigh in Friday
ALSO - If I read correctly, you only had like 800 cals yesterday, so how was your deficit only 500? That'd be a TDEE of like 1300 cals, which is less than my BMR!
I think your deficits are higher than you think, my dear :flowerforyou:
0 -
I have never figured out the TDEE business....my cals on MFP are set for 1200 which should produce a one pound a week......That is how I did the math --but I totally SUCK at math so I may be way off Enlighten me
Yeah - i was already thinking a full fast on Thursday which would work perfectly bc we have a game at 8pm so for my kiddo to eat we usually eat around 6 which I could totally skip and just move on.....I have a few sugar free jolly's so I can munch on them during the game if needed......Super brilliant idea Would be awesomeness to see 165 on Friday...…. hugs 0 -
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok that's the plan SF jollies are low carb too so shouldn't F you up if you need a few to get through Fasts all around! (Except @LadyBlanks she fasted earlier this week LOL)
Ok here's how I do mine and it's almost always spot-on accurate.
I set my MFP for Maintenance first of all - and I do that once a month, because it doesn't reset your BMR with your updated weights that you inputted unless you "reboot" it LOL
SO mine right now gives me 1900 to start...I'd burn that if I sat around all day and did nothing LOL
THEN I have my fitbit synced...my fitbit gives me cals throughout the day as I trend toward a number higher than 1900 (usually mine ends up around 2200 on a work day)...so in that case it'd show on MFP as
1900 - #cals +300 = DEFICIT/Surplus
Here's mine from Monday:
So I started with 1900 (my BMR, MFP sets that automatically when you put "maintain" as your goal) - earned 447 in cals from exercise (I was up late Sunday LOL) so my TDEE was 2347. I ate 1335 so my deficit was 1012
Hope that makes sense! Ask questions if you'd like

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I got it now...…………………..thank you @mistymeadows2005 That math does make sense 0
