Yeeeees. I'm SO looking forward to some popcorn! I want it swimming in that fake theater butter! SWIMMING! rofl
We're planning on sneaking in some candy bars too. Muahahaha. Just have to remember not to drink too much though. 3 hour long movie that I'm sure you dont want to miss a minute of.

POPCORNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN - I AGREE! So much butter it's literally gross, and a good chunk of salt! Although I have to remind myself that if I salt it how I want it up front, I'll be salted out by halfway through, so MODERATION STEPH! LOL1

You're doing so well! I'm glad you get to go to the movie and eat all the popcorn.
A week of just broth sounds so hard! I'm excited hear how it goes!!
Have a happy Tuesday!1 -
OMG butter popcorn the greasy good stuff *drooling*

I'm a movie theater nachos and cheese kind of gal but will also get in on the hubby's popcorn as well. We can't get to the movies until Tuesday. Are nachos acceptable for a mini fast? 🤔1

Today’s Date: 4/23/2019
Today's Plan: maintenance
Weight Goal for the Month: 162lb
Today’s Weight: 169.2
Description/Photo of Meals: 2 coffees (heavy cream, monk fruit, powderlax), coffee chia seed pudding w/ 4tbs of whipped cream, slow cooker pepper steak roast (diced tomato, soy sauce, onion, green bell pepper, chuck roast), 3 marinated chicken thighs
Total calories: 1500-1600
Your thoughts/comments on the day: No fasting at all today. I'm enjoying the heck out of my morning coffee while I can still have it this week
Slow cooker roast is always so good. 1 can of diced tomato, soy sauce (maybe about 1/2c or more worth), lots of black pepper, garlic, 1 sliced onion, 2 sliced green bell pepper, little bit of beef bouillon, and a good size chuck roast. Yum yum yum. Would be really good with mushrooms too but hubs doesn't like them. Excellent on rice if you still eat it... or with some mashed potatoes. Sigh....... I miss potatoes lol.
Heck... I miss rice too. Something as simple as some kimchi and rice. Uhm... yes please. Or rice with some fried spam. Heck yeah! That's my childhood right there and I still love it!
In not so fortunate news though. 2yo came down with a bad stomach bug today. He was totally fine this morning. Ate his cereal and about an hour later... so much throw up. Poor little dude couldn't keep anything down. He was either whining and throwing up, or sleeping. I dunno where he got this one from. This one went by quick too thankfully b/c once he woke up at around 6... he was acting normal and ate some without upchucking.
There must be a bottle he drank from that I missed that was contaminated from the last time they were sick. /shrugs
Now the wait to see if the other 2 or even myself get sick b/c baby boy did breath all over my face when I picked him up lol.

Mmmm, slow roast and everything else you had sounds amazing! I, too, love my coffee! I don’t enjoy as much plain old black, but I add spices so that helps. Here’s hoping your stomach bug goes away quickly!1
-
YUCK ---sick kiddos are the worst....hoping everyone gets healthy soon.....
Oh man --roast yummy yummy...….I add a cup of black coffee to mine when I put it in the slow cooker along with spices and it gives it such a rich flavor...….
1 -
Just leaving that there to prove (to myself) my weight has been going down this week b/c I totally expect it to be up about 8 or so pounds after Friday! ROFL
I dunno WHY it's going down but hell... whatever. Keep it up body!
This week has been nice though. Oh I'm going back to OMAD in a couple of weeks, but it's been nice not worrying about how long I've fasted, when I can eat, etc.
Also looking forward to fasting again though. Gotta get me all those fasting benefits!
My body though. Sigh... as soon as it does lose weight my body cackles maniacally and throws me a curve ball that makes me stall out or gain some weight back. Well played body. I'm already humble, but I guess it wants to make sure
lol
Was feeling good until my " no chill momma" had to make an appearance. Kids man....... raising stress levels since the beginning of man
1 -
LMFAO isn't that the truth!
Sometimes our body appreciates eating enough to function but still having a deficit so will kick off some weight 1 -
Way to go that is so super awesome!!!!! So proud of you!!!1

Weight Goal for the Month: 162lb
Today’s Weight: 168
Description/Photo of Meals: 2 coffees (heavy cream, monk fruit, unsweetened almond milk), pan fried ribeye for lunch and dinner w/ hot sauce and garlic parm wing sauce, cinnamon chia seed pudding with whipped cream, 3 fried in butter eggs
Total calories: 1700-1800
Your thoughts/comments on the day: Some days it's super easy to get a lot of calories in (looking at you ribs!) and some days... not so much. Had NO idea what to do for lunch so figured... steak? Yeah ok.
I don't really like eating steak for lunch. I mean.. it's delicious, but I dunno... I just want something other than that.
Didn't plan this week out too well did I? lol
Kids are still sick. Not a stomach bug, BUT now they're coughing which means there's still gonna be throw up involved b/c apparently everything= to throwing up with little kids.
I feel pretty good though. Actually want to do... something instead of just sitting around and relaxing. If I remember, think I'll work in the front yard tomorrow a little. I say that now but lets see what happens tomorrow :P lol
Actually had trouble getting to sleep last night b/c my mind was going a mile a minute with ideas I wanted to do. Woke up without remembering a single damn one of them too! lol
I'll have to keep a notepad and pen by the bed for those moments 0 -
LMFAO isn't that how it always goes?! LOL I have that happen on the REGULAR!!! LOL
Sounds like you've got some good eats! I love steak, no matter the time of day! I'd never be able to afford it as often as i feel like you have it though! LOL0 -

We buy rib roasts when they're on sale and then cut them up in to steaks at home It's a little expensive up front (6.99 per pound so about $50 per roast), but we usually get about 6 or 7 really big thick steaks out of one roast. I can sometimes finish one off in a single meal, but I usually have leftovers
Since it was just Easter, they had them on sale again, so of course we jumped at the opportunity to grab another. It was bone in though so paying for that bone weight. Boo.

Congrats on your loss!!!
I wish my body will give that results but when it comes to eating more than 1200 cals, my body will put on the weight and show you the results on the scale 
May be that's what you should do to drop those pounds! I know that every body is different. So sorry to hear that your kids are still sick! Sending over quick healing vibes 1 -
Congrats on your loss......sorry the kiddos are sick
Yeah I can eat steak anytime ---yum yum0 -
Yall........ I have no damn clue why this is working all of a sudden, but I aint mad at it!
Right before taking daughter to school this morning
After my... ahem.... after the coffee did its thing bathroom trip....
What? WHY?
I...... don't get it. Oh don't get me wrong. I am flipping THRILLED that this is happening, but I would really love to know WHY it is so I can repeat it! lol
I've had one day this week where my calories were between 1500-1600. The rest of the time it has been between 1700-2000. I totally was expecting my weight to still be stalled out this entire week so.... just.. why? My diet hasn't changed except for including coffee in the morning again. But I was drinking coffee before OMAD too and never had this happen.
No damn clue, but I think I'm going to try to make a schedule out of this. Have like 2-3 weeks in a deficit. IN that time, have really low calorie days, then have a maintenance week. MAYBE even a cheat day too.
Makes me wonder if my sudden restlessness at night is linked to this weight loss?
Oh and to clear something up. I didn't have 2 steaks yesterday. It was one big almost 14oz steak. I ate half for lunch and had the other half for dinner w/ eggs We aint bougie enough to have full size huge steaks for every meal rofl
YAY though! Official weigh in is tomorrow and I would really love to finally change my weight on MFP! I haven't been able to in weeks!

WOW jump for joy!!! So happy for you. Sometimes our bodies confuse us for no reason at all but you must be doing something right!! *proud of you* 1

Wow, Lisa that is wonderful. I watched one of Dr. Berg's video and in it he said that our bodies may be doing some internal healing when we don't see weight changes and once the body is done, it drops weight. He told of a client of his who was discouraged because she had not lost weight in several months but then all of a sudden the weight just started coming off. I would say you are well on your way to reaching your goal. No looking back now.1

I'mma pretend this is what's happening every time I don't lose 1 -
Nice loss! I'd like to think that this will happen to me soon. I am struggling this week.1

Listen, the $50 on meat PERIOD would make me gag LOL - I'm cheap as sh** though 1 -
Lol. It would've done the same for us too before, but we're still spending the same amount on groceries even buying that every once in a while so it all works out in the end

Today's Plan: maintenance
Weight Goal for the Month: 162lb
Today’s Weight: 165.4
Description/Photo of Meals: 2 coffees (unsweetened vanilla almond milk, monk fruit), half a ribeye for lunch w/ horseradish sauce, half for dinner w/ spicy garlic sauce, cinnamon chia pudding w/ whipped cream
Total calories: 1500-1600
Your thoughts/comments on the day: I swear... any other day where I'm purposely trying to be in a deficit... I'd be struggling with hunger and not going over too much.
Now that I'm trying to eat maintenance?? Eh not so hungry. The hell! lol
I was going to have some sausages for lunch and dinner, but really didn't want indigestion. Just something in those processed meats (like bacon) does not settle well. I love them, but I can wait to have some on another maintenance week. Actually plan for it next time so I'm not wondering what the hell to eat and pulling out steaks I'd rather just eat for dinner instead of all day. I sound really bougie damnit! Complaining about steak for lunch. SIGH
Anywho..... I can't wait for tomorrow! Come to me junk food. COME TO ME!0 -
165.8 this morning. Up a tiny bit but that's ok b/c that's still down from what it was at the beginning of the week. WOOT!!!
I almost hesitate to cheat....... almost. :P1 -
NOM NOM NOM, me tooooooooooooo JUNK FOOD! PICK ME! LOL1
-
Sweet, sweet, sweet results and especially since you gave yourself a break. I agree it's probably what your body needed. Great job!1
-
2 pounds down this week, way to go!!!
I hope you are enjoying your movie and splurge day
I'm not going until tomorrow because hubby had to work today so another day of waiting for me 1 -
Alrighty yall.
172.8 this morning. That's UP 7.4lbs. Rofl. I expected it though b/c that's been my body's trend after cheat days. It just loooooooooves holding on to all the water and lordy I drank a TON yesterday. I got so thirsty.
It's funny b/c before bed, DH and I both could see how bloated we were. (he's up 7lbs this morning too).
Yesterday was nice and a bit disappointing too though.
The krispy kreme donuts were delicious! So was the movie popcorn. Movie was excellent too. Wish we could see it again but well... not gonna happen in theaters lol.
We also had chicken biscuits from Bojangles (fried chicken place), chicken from Bojangles along with dirty rice and mac & cheese & fries, mcdonald's hamburger, pizza, candy bars, fritos, an ice cream sandwich aaand I think that may be it. It was a very food filled day lol.
The only real disappointment was the candy bars. I had a snickers and a twix. The snickers was good, but the twix... meh. Also.... I really couldn't eat as much as I was wanting. I really tried stuffing my face, but the bloating wasn't cooperating. That's probably a good thing but I wanted more chicken and donuts :P lol
No poops yesterday. Coffee had been helping and I didn't have my morning cup b/c I didn't want coffee poops to come during the movie lol. Having a cup now though and will throughout the day today.
Today will be a normal maintenance eating day and then tomorrow starts my broth week Really looking forward to it! Not just for the results, but to really push myself mentally too.
Not sure how long the broth I have will last me, but I have enough chicken feet to make 2 more batches so I should be all set to go for the week.
Now though... just going to enjoy my coffee and day and hope my body flushes out the bloat ASAP

Firstly, congrats on getting down to 165👍 As for the 7.4 gain, its mostly water weight. I am sure you will see your real weight once the water weight is gone😉 Also, I know that once I poo, the weight will go down too. Good luck with the flush👍1
-
I can gain that plus more in one day too but its just water and food weight and will be gone soon Now I'm really excited to see the movie, only 3 more hours
