Sarah's OMAD Back to Basics

So I've decided to copy @tlblanksfit and start a new thread!
I've lost around 33 lbs since May 23rd and I've become much too comfortable at this weight (mid-160s). I need to get down to 150 and then I can start to think about maintenance.
I couldn't help myself and weighed today (probably should have waited as it was a little depressing!) and I'm up to 167.9. I was 164.8 three weeks ago today, so I've gained .67 lb a week.
My plan is simple! Go back to basics - one meal a day and that's it. I have Monday and Tuesday under my belt and it was a bit of a struggle but not TOO hard. I also want to get back off the diet soft drinks - I'm quitting them today. Only black coffee and sparkling water.
My weight chart with it's depressing gain (I can't imagine what it would have been if I'd weighed on Monday!):

Sarah, it's a process and since you are starting at a lower weight, patience is required! This is a good thing! You don't have as far to go...
Can relate on the diet drinks, sometimes they make me want to eat the junk food that was often paired with them. Triggers, triggers! They are everywhere!
What I am doing with my coffee is adding a spice like cinnamon from time to time (also cooling it before consumption).0 -
Sarah I think you are doing great. You will get there!

You are already making progress, girl! You can absolutely do this!0

Even if you haven't lost much lately, you've maintained brilliantly. Much easier as a starting point to make another push. That is how it has been for me also. You will get there!0

Thanks guys... A bit better today, though i dont really trust this weight, i think it will bounce back up tomorrow. I got very little sleep last night because I had to do presentations on three different conference calls at 12 midnight, 2am and 6am. Ugh. Not sure i made much sense on the 3rd call - unfortunately they are the most "difficult" group of the three! So I tried to sleep after 7 which sort of worked. And then forgot to weigh, so I weighed much later in the day than usual, hence the reason I think the weight is a bit artificial... Anyway...

Even if you are up tomorrow, wait until a week has passed and compare the numbers then. I hope you got more rest last night!0

Oh man! Such a busy lady. Take care of yourself!0

A weight is a weight is a weight. 0

I did get more rest last night, it was good! My weight only up a teeny bit today. Tonight I'll probably have a few drinks though and tomorrow we will be going out on the jetskis and will have a picnic and wine for lunch, so it will be a TMAD day that day for sure...
