Sorry I didn’t update yesterday, I was so tired after work. I ended up eating chic fl a and a fruit juicer and stayed under my 2000 calories. I ended up gaining . 4 pounds but I blame this on water retention. It was so hot at work and I drank so much water, I almost got bear caught. Anyways, moving forward!!1

Darn water weight gets me every time! LOL1 -
Today I ate cheese burgers, fries, cheese bites and a super fruit juicer. I weighed in at 252.8 so that’s a -1.4 pound difference from yesterday. Guess the gain got knocked off pretty good. Still below my calories and my macros looked good.0

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! It has really helped me along the way. I had a good size steak today with mashed potatoes, corn on cob, green beans, a baby spinach salad, a few cookies and sweet tea to drink. I weighed in at 251.8 so down another pound from yesterday. I must have had a ton of glucose in my blood to be dropping it this quick. My body has really accepted to what I’m doing. My goal is still to finish the OMAD at 100 days and switch to the warrior diet and go back to two meals in 4 hours, keeping calories at 2500 at that point. I would still lose weight but very slowly. The plan is to do that for a month then to a 16;8. I don’t know for sure it may all change. My goal is 210-220 but I may do more. Need to see what o look like at that weight first.0

I change my plans all the time myself. I found that I can maintain well (within a 5-lb range) for months doing a 16:8, if I keep the lunch LC like eating a big salad (I eat ad libitum in the evenings). If I eat ad libitum for lunch and for dinner (including snacks after) I will gain weight and not be able to maintain within a 5-lb window for months. That was an important discovery for me. I twice gained 10-lbs back doing a 16:8 and eating whatever whereas I maintained for several months within 5-lbs eating 16:8 with the LC lunch. There are many ways to skin the cat, just have to pay attention and see what works for you. I do have to do a 20:4 type IF to lose weight though. Good luck.1 -
This week ended pretty well. I finally hit a wall on Wednesday and had actually gained 2 pounds, which was weird because I was doing so well. I did find one day on my week my stomach was just growling a lot, my body was telling me to eat. I had to break OMAD for that day and I ate two meals in 4 hours, but I kept under 2000 calories. I ended up dropping that back down and more since today. I believe this week was 2.4 pounds down total. I’m now at 15.4 pounds down in 16 days! I had to push it hard to eat enough calories today because I burned so much at work. To lose 2 pounds a week today I needed to eat 4,000 calories. I could only get 2600 down. I’m full and happy right now. I broke into the 240 range! A weight I haven’t seen since shortly after getting out of the Air Force, so like 7-8 years ago.0

Congrats! Your doing great. Not too fast or too slow i think is important. Too fast can cause problems with compliance.1

Sounds like you've had great results. Good luck moving forward. 1

So this week was another roller coaster of weight gain and loss. It seems to actually be timed as far as the same time of week I gain then a steady drop the rest of the week. The lowest I hit was 246.8 lbs. as of today I’m at 247.6, after yesterday hitting my gain of 248.8. So two days ago I weighed 246.8 then the next day I was 248.8 so a gain of 2 pounds, now today was 247.6, a 1.2 pound loss. Over all the week was a 3.4 pound loss so I’m trying to focus on the weekly loss. The good news is I’m still losing. I have started to make the gym at least 2-3 times week the past few weeks, so that’s good. I have pretty much ate what I wanted with counting my macros and I’m proud to say I have lost 17-18 pounds since.1

Good job! You're probably gaining some muscle also which will mess with the scale.1

Depending on what you ate too, like sodium and carbs will give me a gain and if I cut them out the next day the weight will go back down. My weight at the end of the week is what I was posting in my journal and as long as it was a loss I was happy. And since I had a splurge day each week I would always have a gain the day after and then it would go down the rest of the week. Congrats, a 3.4 pound loss in a week is Awesome 1
