    Once you start having more OMADs, the 1 pound will vanish easily! Don't be too hard on yourself! <3

    Brenda, you are a maintenance genius. I think one of your low-calorie days and a couple of OMAD days will get rid of that pound and get you back comfortably within your maintenance range.

    It's going ok Tracey...This is the week I'm supposed to be having more OMADS and less Splurge days but on my OMADS I've been eating a lot so we will see what Friday's weigh in says...I'm hoping for a pound loss to bring me back into range.

    I was 131 this morning :o so I will be doing OMAD everyday until I get back to 125 which is the low end of my maintenance range.

    You've got this lady! It'll be faster than you think, bc some of it is water weight for SURE seeing as you were more OMAD than splurge days this week :)

    No worries, a week or two and you'll be right back where ya need!

    You've got this, Brenda! I know I am not the only one who has looked to you for inspiration, and I know you will get things back with your consistency and commitment! Good job on reining things in before they went too far! And thanks especially for sticking around to continue to provide inspiration for maintenance!

    My plan was to have no splurge days this week and I ended up having 2 :( This winter is kicking my butt, once I start eating I can't stop!!! I'm going to strictly eat OMAD today and tomorrow (A bowl of Chili) and Thursday will be a water only day. I'm hoping for 129 by Friday o:)

    I am struggling right along with you Brenda, but I am going strictly Basic OMAD and will overcome. You can do it Brenda! 129 by Friday, it's in the bag.

    Tomorrow will be my official weigh in day for the week because I was 131 this morning :/ so I'm going to do another water day today and hopefully I will be 130 or lower tomorrow.

    A water fast should shed a few pounds NO PROB babe :)

    Thanks everyone for the good vibes...Final weigh in for the week is 130 :)

    My body is telling me not to Water Fast anymore. The next morning I'm feeling really dizzy and getting headaches and if I don't eat I feel that way all day. I used to lose 2 to 3 pounds a day drinking just water but lately it's only been 1 so I will just be sticking with OMAD and just keep some of them really low calorie.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend o:) I'm going ice fishing for the first time and maybe my last :#
