Britt's Goal or Bust OMAD Journey

Today's weigh-in: 150.8
This was expected, but I am actually not TOO bummed. I know I can get water weight off quickly, and as Tuesday was the only day I ate above my TDEE, that is likely what is making up almost all of this 5-lb bump. I am already back to craving raw fruits again, so I am looking forward to a refreshing, nutrient-dense OMAD today.0 -
Britt you got this, you will have it gone for good!1

Kiss that water weight goodbye, because you'll be back at 145 in no time.
You're doing great, Britt! 1 -
My weight jumps after a splurge, but it comes right back off. You have this.1

Thanks so much, ladies!0

Day 15 (3/29): 150.8 lbs | 4.2/25 pounds gone!
Trendweight: 149.2
The chunky strawberry bowl from Jamba Juice is now my new favorite thing!0 -
That looks delicious. How do you like the protein chips?0
-
Oh that looks yummy

@tlblanksfit the protein chips were good! It was my first time having them, so I didn't know what to expect. The texture reminds me of airy baked chips.0

Another slip-up last night -- again, I was not hungry, but my junk cravings are back with a vengeance. I seem to have completely lost my IE and OMAD mojo, and I really regret that splurge day now.
Since I have a bunch of work to do later today and on Saturday, I will take advantage of being busy to complete a 48-hour fast before going back to following a low-sugar diet like FAA to quell my cravings. I know I can get back to IE once my cravings are in check, but I need to do the ground work first. I have to get back on track -- constantly feeding these junk cravings were the first step towards daily binging for me, and I completely refuse to break my binge streak after gaining so much control. I can't and won't go back to that feeling of powerlessness around food.0 -
Britt, I have been having bad days this week as well culminating in gains putting me at 158 pounds this morning. I will also be doing an extended fast which started last night and will last until after church on Sunday. Once my fast is over I plan to do strict low carb OMAD for 2 weeks...That should help get me back on track..
We can have control and will do it. We've both come too far to lose the ground we've gained. I am with you as we beat these cravings and get our mojo's back!1 -
That is perfect, @tlblanksfit! I'm at 152.8, effectively putting me back to where I was 2 weeks ago in a matter of 3 days! I was just thinking this morning that I should just fast until I get together with friends for dinner on Sunday night. I will also join you with LC, so we can definitely do this together!0

You have got this britt!0

How is your fast going Britt?1
-
Thanks, Sammy!
Fast went well yesterday! I was super busy, so I only really felt hunger pangs once all day. Today is another busy day, so I think it will be another fairly easy fast. Wby, @tlblanksfit?0 -
Good luck on your fast!0

Thanks, @aleroache20! So far so good!0

Day 16 (3/30): 152.8 lbs | 2.2/25 pounds gone!
I know this was yesterday's weigh-in, but I cringed while typing this! I can't believe how quickly I undid almost all of my progress. Thankfully, it's coming back off.
Day 17 (3/31): 149.4 lbs | 5.6/25 pounds gone!
Trendweight: 149.3 | Projected goal date: July 10, 2018
As previously mentioned, I fasted yesterday and will today as well. I'm really busy with writing a paper and haven't really experienced much hunger, though I am definitely more tired today. I was planning to break my fast with dinner tomorrow, but I think that might be too long. I will probably break my fast when I wake up on Sunday with some coffee, which will probably be around 52 hours fasted. I know I can have coffee now since I drink it black, but I am trying not to have anything that will impact my appetite until I know a meal is coming shortly after.0 -
Great job on yesterday's fast and getting back below 150. Best wishes for a successful fast day today and being closer to 145 tomorrow.1

Although I weighed in at 154.7 this morning, my trendweight is 155.9. I guess my consistency has not been to the point where my trend weight can be close to the scale weight, but I will get there. Looking at this I can definitely say I will have to be around 142 to 143 pounds for my trendweight to register a solid 145 pounds. I am good with that as that will solidify me in the 140's and I may be able to move my permanent maintenance goal to be below 150 instead of below 160. I will even take being below 155 which seems more realistic right now.1

You're doing great Britt 1
-
@tlblanksfit I think that would be awesome to get down to 142 or 143! Then you can have an 8-lb window like Brenda, which seems really smart! I am thinking I may do the same, but I think I will do what she's done and try to get down in maintenance instead of right now just because I know it will take a lot of effort to get below 135, and I am not sure if I will have the same struggle getting below 130. My lowest adult weight was 132, and I don't remember whether or not I even tried to get below that since I had to do SO much to get below 135 (LOTS of extended fasts... smh).
By the way, we really are of the same mind. I am also planning to start LC tomorrow because we are having a friends' dinner tonight and I am making a peach cobbler, sangria, and greens, and I definitely have to taste along the way for the first two. So today is our last day!0 -
Thanks, @Brendalea69!1

Day 18 (4/1): 148.8 lbs | 6.2/25 pounds gone!
Trendweight: 149.2 | Projected goal date: July 20, 2018
How is it already April??
I wasn't able to complete my fast yesterday because I got really sick, so I am surprised to see I still had a loss after all of that sugary electrolyte stuff I was given. I'm definitely not complaining, though!
Looking forward to dinner tonight and starting low carb on Monday!0 -
Hope you are feeling better!! I am sure you will get back on track with LC

Thanks, @dkayingram! I am definitely feeling much better and already looking forward to this week!0
