Try having a splurge day and then getting right back to OMAD, I hope the weight starts going down soon

I second a splurge day. Sometimes when I seem to have stalled, the extra food does the trick to release whatever my body is holding on to. Worth a shot?1

Plateaus are evil. Maybe your pants getting loser? Maybe your face looks thinner? Do you do your measurements? I also have the stall effect sometimes. But I recognise that my clothes are getting loser. God only knows whats happening inside. Once we eat the food its out of our hands, our bodies just do whatever, we have no control over it. We are like a separate mechanism really. Keep your head up, it will eventually catch up..1

@mistymeadows2005 - I normally just eat 1 meal a day without counting calories. However, when I feel that my weight just don't move, I will start to measure my food and write down the calories on my food app. I tend to eat around 1100 - 1200 calories on a normal day. When I decided that I should lower my calories, I measured my food and ate around 800 - 900 calories per day during OMAD. However, I didn't loose any weight. I guess may be its just a stubborn plateau.
@volgirl1322 - I second that! I really hate plateaus!!! Yesterday, I tried eating everything that I want to eat. No counting calories what-so-ever. Hopefully, I am able to confuse my body and hopefully some magic will happen. 
130s lbs is still on a high side for me as I am a real shortie at 5 feet 2.5. How tall are you, btw?
@Brendalea69 & @jadeblue14 - Yes, I did that yesterday (splurge day). Hopefully, it will do the trick! Fingers cross!

Good afternoon OMADers!
It has been a crazy few days here!
We were sweating and struggling to stay cool in the hot & humid weather and just like that, we were hit with wild storms swept the state, bringing down power lines and trees, causing flash flooding and sparking a house fire. Our little town was without power for more than 2 hours. And today, right now, its really deciding if it should rain or not. That's the weather here for us
As suggested, I tried the splurge day yesterday! I didn't weigh myself today as I think I will gain lots of weight due to my splurge day. I am back up on my wagon today and I will start again. I will weigh myself in these few days and see if my body fell for the trick. Fingers cross!!!
Hope that you guys are doing much better than me

I am abut 5 foot 4,5 so a shortie as well. Hopefully your splurge will confuse your body drinking tons of water also helps with flushing out the salt if you had any of that. I am sure the scale will continue downward for you soon!!!

@volgirl1322 - I would love to be 5' 4.5" Furthermore, being a pear-shaped doesn't make it easier. Yes, I sure hope it will do the trick. Didn't weigh myself today though...but I will tomorrow (Sat). Have a wonderful weekend 0

Fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow.....1

Good Evening OMADers!
How are you guys this Monday evening? I guess my happiness is short lived. I am back up to 61.2kg this morning. I have not binge or increase my food intake or anything. This is the stage where I can never ever get below 60kg. I have tried so many times since July 2018 and I just keep failing. Its as though someone put a spell on me or something
I will do my best this week, eat right, right calories and do my exercises and I will see what happen next. Wish me luck
Take care and have a great Monday 0 -

Stay the course, trust the process, and KEEP GOING - it's so hard, I know, but worth it.
What's your idea weight for your body? Just making sure your body isn't telling you that it's lost enough weight (If I was still trying to lose at 135 it'd be like HE** NO but I'm 5'7" sooooooooo LOL)1 -
I also have a really rough time getting below a couple of weights where my body just fights me SO much, and 135 is one of them! But once I pass it, the weight seems to move again at its normal pace, but I tend to get stuck at 135 for 2-3 weeks before I see a change. When that happens, I try not to weigh as frequently just to maintain my sanity, as I will sometimes get discouraged and consider abandoning whatever I've been doing. It looks like you have the right attitude, though, so good luck! I am cheering for you.1

You're welcome!!!1 -
@mistymeadows2005 - Thank you & hugs! I am pretty short 159cm (5'2") and the lowest weight recommended for my height and frame is 47kg (104lbs). I have been 47kg during my teens and young adult life before getting married and having kids. My GW is 50kg and its around the recommended weight
@futuredrbri - Thank you! I really hope that before Feb is over, my weight will start moving downwards again. Fingers cross! From last year, I have been trying to overcome this 61 down to 60 hurdle and have failed. Hopefully, this time, I will succeed.
@Brendalea69 - Thank you for the chart!

Good Afternoon OMADers!
As you can see from the CW, I have gone back up to 62kg And the best joke, I was fasting for more than 24 hours. I literally DID NOT eat the whole day. I skipped my OMAD yesterday as I was not really hungry and I wanted to see if I fasted more than 24 hours, will my weight go down. Guess what? It didn't and to make it worse, it went up! I am like, it went up even though I DID NOT eat???? I am puzzled indeed. When hubby found out that I didn't eat my OMAD yesterday, he tried to force to to break my fast. However, I explain that I need to do an experiment and he said we will do it together. So, I continued fasting instead of breaking my fast at 12pm yesterday. This morning, I weighed myself in front of hubby and the scale said "62kg". I nearly died
I really think something is wrong with me. The only thing that I drank during my fast was water, green tea and diet soda (took one can as it helps my headache). Hmm, may be its the diet soda.
Anyway, I broke my fast early today at 11am. I wasn't really hungry either but I ate anyway. I don't think I will weigh myself till Sat as its really stressing me out.
Apologies for the rant.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, you guys!

@jadepepearl I am so sorry for your struggles. Our bodies are strange sometime. I believe you will have a huge whoosh in your future. try not to stress about it (easier said than done I know) and hopefully sticking with the plan will pay off. Don't apologize for the rant we have all been there. to you!!!!! 1
-
Agreed - sometimes odd things happen - salt, hormones, stress (no glycogen since you were full fasting). It's REAL annoying but part of the game - yesterday I only lost 1 pound with a perfect mini fast the night before - today I lost 3.6 and ate my body weigh in candy last night while wallowing in self-pity - WHO KNOWS! LOL
Trust the process, stay the course 1 -
Don't apologize! That does sound frustrating. I think our bodies are constantly in flux as women, so there are usually so many factors that can make up the weight we see. Be kind to yourself. I think waiting a while to weigh again will definitely help with your psyche!1

@volgirl1322 - Thanks for being here I think my body is the strangest of them all I have been trying since last July 2018. I ain't giving up as I really need to get back into shape even though it takes the whole year....lol.
@mistymeadows2005 - Thanks for being here too Congrats on 3.6lbs loss! That's amazing 
Ain't gonna give up as I have gotten quite use to OMAD.

Good Morning OMADers
I know I did say that I won't weigh myself till Sat, but I guess I just could help myself. I am getting worried, frustrated...you name it and I will tell ya, I probably have it. So, I am now 61.8kg. I am still puzzled though as I think my body is wrecked. You see, here's what happened:
Feb 18 - I broke fast and OMAD at 12.10pm [61.2kg]
Feb 19 - Suppose to break fast and OMAD at 12pm. But, I decided to continue fasting till tomorrow (Feb 20)
Feb 20 - OMAD at 11am. [62kg]
Feb 21 - Still fasting. [61.8kg]
So, even though my body is in a fasting mode for nearly 46 hours or so, I gained 0.8kg. Strange, right? Today is much better as I loss 0.2kg, not a lot but I will take it. Hopefully, it will get its act together and give me results.
Will post my weight loss chart later. It shows that my body doesn't wanna budge
Have a wonderful Thursday, OMADers

Here's my weight loss chart
Its like I can never ever go lower than 60-61kg
0 -
First of all - LOVELY chart! DIG IT!
Second - perhaps it's the balance of food you're eating? I'm not a big proponent of WHAT you're eating mattering in pure weight loss, but maybe your body is missing something and trying to tell you something? Can you open your diary so we can seeeeeee? 1 -
I am at a loss too except I do know the smaller you are, the harder it is. Even though I am significantly heavier than you (172) it is harder for me than it was when I was ginourmous (234 at my highest)…..so maybe that has something to do with it?
But, maybe there is something like salt that could be holding on???
Stay strong though --you will get there!
Love the chart too!
