Hello guys! Sorry I am just getting to post. I started a post on Sunday on my phone but somehow my phone had a mind of its own and wanted to switch to a different app and I lost my post and didn't feel like retyping it.
Sunday's weight was a whopping 175.3 Boooooooo!!! This is an 8 pound gain within a week.
I did a low calorie day on Sunday and yesterday's weight was down 2 pounds to 173.3
Yesterday was a higher calorie day (I ate over my allotted calories being that I attended a birthday party, had 2 plates of food and also had cake) and this morning's weight is back up to 174.6.
My new schedule is:
My full calorie days during weight loss mode are 1200 calories. I just called them full calorie days so I won't have to change when I get to maintenance. My full calorie day will just be whatever my new calorie goal is for the stage I am in. All calories will be consumed in OMAD.
So today, Tuesday, is a zero calorie day. I have to make sure I don't cave, my mind is already telling me I can just make it a 500 calorie day, but my mind doesn't know what it is talking about and I must ignore it. If I don't overdo my calories, and get back on top of my water drinking, I think this plan will work and can be my forever plan (My take on ADF)
I am hoping to be back in the 160's come Friday with weekly progress going forward.
Happy OMADing everyone0 -
Tracey glad you are back. The plan looks so doable and sustainable for when you get to your maintenance stage (which won't be long).....
You got this!

Good evening all, I had an epiphany today. A new thought on my zero calorie days. A zero-calorie day is not a water fast day. It is a zero-calorie (net calorie day). The only calories I can eat that day are calories I burn off through exercise. If I don't exercise, I don't eat. This will force me to get some exercise in and allow me to eat on the days I am not officially scheduled to eat. With this update, I am going to have two zero-calorie days each week. My new schedule will look like this:
On my specified number of calorie days, I will not eat back any exercise calories and will stick to eating only that day's designated number of calories which in weight loss mode is 1200 or 500 calories
Today I burned about 450 calories through exercise and I ate 340 calories so I was still at a calorie deficit. I really like this new plan.

This morning's weigh in 170.6 pounds. An overnight loss of 4 pounds
I have been looking into the accuracy of fitness tracker calorie counts and it is not good at all so on my zero calorie days I am going to just be eating half of the calories that my trackers say I burned.
Yesterday my exercise calories burned was 609 and I ate 343 calories so that was a bit over half.
I was thinking about upping my full calorie days to the maintenance level of my desired weight (145 pounds). I was thinking that the accumulated deficits would be too low since even my full calorie days are deficits.
The maintenance calories for a 145 pound female my age and height is 1,786 calories. If I were to do this, I would just up my calories on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays to 1,750.
What are your thoughts?

Wow - that’s amazing commitment! Go on with your bad self!0

Ok, this is my final post regarding my new plan. I have finally figured it out and my plan now is as follows
This equates to a daily calorie average of 1,092 calories.

I think that sounds great Tracey! Looking forward to seeing your results!!!0
-
Sounds like a great plan!!! I tend to work better on these type of cyclical plans rather then a set cal threshold every day kinda thing - NICE!0
-
Hi Tracey, I try to keep my calories under 1200 and the we , I have more, so your final plan looks good to me, good luck and have progress, that's all it matters! 0
-
You’re amazing. I wish I was at that stage! The calorie counting is really tough for me and I don’t think I could be that disciplined every day.0

Sounds like an awesome plan

I love this new plan Tracey. I think it's a great idea to do calorie cycling as I do the same thing except I dont count calories. Instead I just eat less food on certain days because I really hate counting calories
0 -
I am just counting calories for the start to get an idea of the calories in the foods I eat most and then once I can gauge it by sight, I will stop with the counting. I really dislike calorie counting as well.2

WOOT! You always kick major butt when you get back to it 0

Had a 1 pound jump in weight this morning (171.6) which was to be suspected since the 4 pound loss yesterday could have been mostly water weight. I am keeping to my 1200 calorie day today and we will see where I land in the morning.0

Not bad at all 0

Tonight’s meal. Rotisserie Leg quarter, loaded cauliflower mash, and broccoli and cheese. I also had keto coffee, chocolate kale shake, and acv, lemon, and water drink. Today’s total calories - 1150 calories
