    Yep I know....for me sometimes I am my own worst enemy especially if I try to complicate it too much. I have tried low carb but fail miserably at it long term. I do best just eating what I want but just once a day. I have had to have a snack due to some of the meds I am taking bc they cause nausea on an empty stomach but i have tried to keep them light.

    Today is a water fast day so no food for today.

    Thanks ladies, I have not been having any problems with my water fasts as of late. I have 3 meatless days next before my official weigh in on Friday.

    So glad you are back....thanks for sharing your food porn with us...….
    How long do you water fast? 24 hours?

    Thank you, Donna, I am happy to be back as well.

    I do my weekly fast from my meal on Sunday to my meal on Tuesday. I ended my meal on Sunday at 6:45 pm and I'll break my fast with my meal today. So far it has been 38 hours. So if I do a real dinner Sunday to dinner Tuesday fast, it will be no more than a 48 hour fast.

    I was up this morning. I think yesterday's meal was too carb heavy. I really want to see 167 come Friday.

    I also think I have been forcing calories on my vegetarian days. Veggies are low calorie and I just have to realize that on those days I may not hit 1000 calories and be fine with it.

    I am thinking to do early meals on Tues-Thursday. I have better results with the early meals as long as I stop with my meal.

    Yeah that's my problem - I won't stop once I start, and I want my food when I can relax and focus on it, not when I'm swamped with work.

    Trace, I shoot for 500 or less cals 3 days a week and it hasn't hurt my progress at ALL - PLUS I follow it with a full 48, so I think you'll be fine as long as you get your cals on your non veggie days :)

    I am not good at eating earlier in the day, for me, it is like if I wake the beast all bets are off for the rest of the day.

    With some of these meds I have been on, I have had to eat a small snack with them bc of serious nausea so I knw my OMAD hasn't been "true" for a while with the snack, but my cals have been super low bc I haven't had any appetite, I think I have been averaging around 800 a day.

    I agree if you get those cals on non veggie days you should be fine......

    You are right, no need in me taking on calories for the sake of calories. I can definitely get enough calories in on Fri, Sat, and Sunday to make up for the reduced calories the four days prior.

    LMFAO yeah I can MORE than make up for it on my weekends :P AND THEN SOME (if I let myself LOL)

    Plus seeing those daily losses from the lower cal days is nice for the mind too :)

    Do you weigh daily Tracey? Don't kill me for not remembering LOL
  • LadyBlanks
    LadyBlanks Posts: 1,070 Member
    I do weigh daily. It is weird because after yesterday's meal I was up 0.8 this morning.

    I was 172.5 on Monday
    I was 169.0 on Tuesday following my water fast day
    I was 169.8 this morning
