Lauren's (OMAD) one meal a day journey

Loxxia_Xenalia

Hi all, Lauren here , I thought I'd start my own journey on here to help me track my progress and keep me motivated to lose some pounds . This is day one of my one meal a day journey and I'm soooo excited to start this journey with you all, I want to put my meal pictures up throughout each day , put positive quotes to motivate me and help motivate others. My starting weight isn't that much at 122.8 pounds and 5 ft 5, but I'm only trying to get to 110 pounds as that's always been my target goal, my main reason for starting this is just to stop my daily binges and the obsession I have for chocolate at the moment :'), can't think of anything else to put at the moment as I'm new to all of this but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it . Thank you all, and I wish you all the best with your weight loss journeys or if your doing it for any other reason 🤗🤗🤗

Caffeine, lots of liquids (we are BIG proponents of HYDRATION round herrrrrr), and keeping busy is my best suggestion

I never do it, but I worked out yest and that squashed some of my cravings too though it'd probably be MY last resort of desperation LMAO

Loxxia_Xenalia

Water does help a lot

yha I've found keeping myself busy or doing some sort of exercise has kept my cravings at bay , I guess my body is used to eating three meals a day rather than the one , so just going to take some time for my body to adjust 😃, thank you for the wonderful tips 😊, they are most useful in my time of need 😂 hows your OMAD going so far? :')

mistymeadows2005

Yes, there's an adjustment - after a while it'll feel VERY unnatural to eat outside your window...I don't even THINK about food until a few hours before my window (USUALLY! This damn quarantine has been fu*king with my head LOL).

How's my OMAD today or in general?
My OMAD today is NOT! LOL - Fasting today

My OMAD in general is AMAZING! I've been in maintenance forrrrrrrrr almost a year? Like 9-10 months? I hit goal May of 19

All OMAD, nothing cray cray added other than extended fasts which are TOTALLY optional depending on your preference - I'm just the kinda person that would rather add a day or two of full fasting to eat GIANT meals during my weekend OMAD - so tinker with it, figure out what you LIKE and what's sustainable for YOU!!!

Feel free to go through my journey! I've only had one thread since the very beginning back in 17 so you can see the full transformation

LadyBlanks

I love OMAD and have great results with it when I stay on track. If you look through my number of threads you will see times where I strayed and it cost me time and some weight gain. You will have times when you slip up but you must not let them get to you; just recognize it happened and get back to OMAD without any guilt. During this troubled time, some of us are struggling but we will prevail because OMAD does work and we have great friends on this tread to encourage and sometimes give us some needed tough love.

A lot of what we think is physical hunger is just mental hunger that will subside quickly if we just find something to keep our minds off it and once it is gone, it was as if it never happened.

You are going to do great Lauren. Wishing you a successful day 1. You've got this!!!

That's good to hear then I'm glad it gets easier , that's really good to hear 😊 yha it doesn't help being indoors whilst doing OMAD just best to try and stay busy or focused , hope your safe and well over where you are 🤗
I meant in general haha :') , that's really good , you must have good willpower to be able to fast , bet fasting must feel really good and have great benefits overall 😄, that's so good , well done you , must be so proud , to maintain for nearly a year as well is brilliant achievement , bet it must feel soooo good to finally reach your goal , yha that's understandable I bet extended fasts means you can eat more foods what you enjoy , wow that's amazing again a big well done 😄🤗😊

That's good to hear , it's okay to go off track some days , well done to staying on track though, should be proud of how far you've come 🤗, yha I think there the times I'm going to struggle but every day is a new day to start again right :') , it's always good to have a nice community that helps you keep on track and to motivate you with support and encouragement 😊, yha I've had that a bit today where I thought I was hungry , had some water and I felt much better , thank you soooo much , yha today I've just had a few cravings but I've staggered on :')

A quick update from yesterday ,,,,

I forgot to take a picture of my meal but I'll take one today ,,,, I had a healthy alternative pizza and chips it feels so much better making your own pizza with your own toppings and cooking it , obviously had to add cheese for extra calories 😉 ,,,,

I also had a snack ,,,, I caved and had a few digestive biscuits but I definitely didn't indulge and eat as much chocolate so that's good 😆

My weigh in days are only going to be Mondays so we'll see what the scale says on Monday 😂, don't like weighing myself daily as it becomes an obsession and I don't want to get discouraged over fluctuations.

It really was tasty , might have to make it again sometime but as a sub which is on a baguette or toast 🤗, that is very true the cheese was definitely the best bit 😄. I can't wait fingers crossed it's gone down even if it's half a pound loss I'll be happy 😃, yha and it means I'm doing something right , I didn't have any cravings today and felt much better , more calm, relaxed and no binges which I'm happy about :') thank you sooooo much 😊, the quotes do help me in my times of need , but if there helping others too, then I'm pleased 😁

I forgot to upload meal picture again, I keep forgetting , but I had a beautiful steak pie , and mashed potatoes , and green beans, carrots was really filling as well 😄😆😄

Today's update ,,,, so I had takeaway last night I didn't finish it all because it comes in big portions had garlic bread, a bit of kebab with garlic yogurt and chilli sauce, chips which were over seasoned yucky

and onion rings , wasn't the best meal but I ate most of it

This morning I woke up with blurry vision and a terrible headache and even though I haven't binged I've had a yoghurt, chocolate bar and crisp sandwich , I feel a bit better now and full so I might just fast for the rest of the day to keep me on track 😂, think I just need sugar in my system especially with me being anaemic as well, health comes first so that's why I decided to eat during the day and it certainly helped 😊
