    My first week of OMAD is complete, I was strict with it , never snacking, not even a nibble between meals, and did pretty good. I got some hunger bouts, and was a little snappy at times, but the benefit of not having to make meals for breakfast and lunch far outweighs the minor discomfort so far! I started weight last week was 190 pounds, and my 7 day weight this morning was 183. I must have been retaining water weight, that I got rid of by fasting? I know we don't burn 7 pounds of fat in one week. But any weight lost has my worn hips and knees thanking me! :)

    Congratulation on such a big drop. I think I lost "7" lbs my first week. I mean you have had a drastic change in your eating, and your body is like "what?". No worries, just our bodies letting us know that they were holding onto stuff that wasn't important.

    Great first week. Stay strict and keep it up! It's well worth it.
    That is a huge amount for a week and the next weekly loss will no doubt taper down a bit, but that's to be expected and not a sign that you're doing something wrong.

    Thanks! I will! Yeah, I am thinking if I can lose a pound a week, I will make my goal weight in 40 weeks.

    I think that if you keep doing what you're doing you will definitely lose more than a pound a week :)

    That would be cool! I will keep my expectations at my lower level and be pleasantly surprised if i lose faster :)

    I had some late work come up last night, and wasn't going to get home to make my meal, so I went to taco bell and ate two big burritos. when I was "dieting" that would have been a splurge, but at 1300 calories, it was not enough to maintain my weight for the day! I am so glad I now know it is ok to eat OMAD! I wish I knew this a long time ago!
