Happy New Year OMADers❤️
I have lost my way😢 Am back up to the 60s. I can blame COVID-19 and the whole family relocating event, but, in the end, it me, me and me who failed. Well, 2021 will be a better year for me🤞🙏

We have moved to the city as now both of our kids are in secondary school. As DH puts it, before you know it, our eldest will be in Uni. We have to plan fast, he said. So, we decided to relocate to the big city so that our house will be nearer to the Uni and our kids do not need to stay at the student lodge. DH prefers that our kids stay with us till they get married... lol🤣

It was so hectic and tiring to relocate...it was really hard as we had to move everything from on house to the other. We had to make 3 trips even though we rented a truck 😵😬 Now that we finally moved in, I can start OMAD again. Hopefully I can get back down to 50kg before the end of 2021🤞🤞🤞

Let's do this together ❤️😘

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    So, I finally weighed myself and the scale flashed 60.5kg. That means, I have to shed 10.5kg to get back to my GW. I am telling you guys, it's hard to OMAD right now. For the past 2 days, my tummy started growling at night and my gastric juices showed its face and when I couldn't take it any longer, I gave in and ate some grapes. So, I failed😢 But ain't giving up.. gonna try and try till I can OMAD again. Wish me luck🍀🤞

    Good morning OMADers ❤️

    Weigh-in this morning and am happy to see that it went down a little - 59.5kg😊 Hopefully, by Christmas this year, I will be back to "Slim & Healthy Me"

    For me, it's hard to go cold turkey and just zoom back to OMAD. Some days I succeed and other days, I fail. But, I am going to keep trying till I can OMAD every day like last time. 😊

    Hope you guys in the US are A-OK. Every day, the International news keep reporting that the hospitals are all full, doctors are struggling, 400,000 deaths.. Stay safe, you guys❤️

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    Good news... my 2 teenagers are going back to school tomorrow😁 OMG, I have a 13 & a 15 year old this year.. 2 teenagers in the house😲 So, both of them are in the same college this year...no more travelling from one school to the other.

    So, now I can get back to my routine and hopefully OMAD fully once again🙏🤞🤞🤞

    Take care and keep OMAD-ing❤️

    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    Yesterday I tried doing the egg diet just to kick start my journey. Didn't do OMAD straight away as I know I will surely fail. So, did 2-MAD yesterday. The total calories for yesterday was around 1500. Hope that I can get my calories down to 1000-1200 per day. 🤞

    Didn't weight myself yet but I know I didn't loose any. You know the feeling when your clothes are just so tight😞

    Exercise is cycling while watching TV. Am going to get back to zumba soon once I get the house settled and then the shop too. 🤞

    Hope that you guys are doing well 😘

    Oh I remember doing the egg diet, it made me sick to my stomach and I'm surprised I still like eggs as much as I do 😂

    You got this and don't stress too much, you'll be back to full OMAD soon 💜

    Good evening 😘

    Have been MIA for a while🤭 Been busy settling down and get our shop ready. We finally opened this Monday... fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

    As mentioned before, we moved back to the city. Finally, kids have settled into their new school and we finally opened our shop😁 Now, hopefully I can get back to my normal OMAD routine🤞

    The bad news first... boy oh boy have I gained weight. I have been eating like crazy coz when I am stressed, I pig out🐷😭

    So, am making this official and I start my journey once again

    SW - 61kg
    GW - 52kg (that's what I got down to last year)

    Wish me luck🍀

    Good night OMAD-ers 😘

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    It was quite a good day even though AF came ❤️ I managed to OMAD today and exercise for 40 mins.

    Will only weigh myself after AF leaves😘

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    CW : 60.7kg

    Am pretty happy to see some weight loss🤗 Have been exercising daily and eat whatever I want on my OMAD. You know, I discovered that I begun to gain weight as I started to yearn to eat all the food which I prevented myself in eating. It wasn't the right way to go as I couldn't maintain my weight of 52kg which I hit in 2019. So, this time around, I am going to eat what I crave for when I OMAD. Not sure if it will work but am going to try. 🤞 Wish me luck🍀

    It has been a while since I had Vietnamese Roll (Banh Mi) and it was just delicious 🤤 That was my OMAD for today and I was satisfied🤗 Managed to zumba for 35 mins today without my vertigo acting up🙏👌

    So all in all.. a good day😉🥰

    That's what I had for OMAD today... Curry Fish Fillet with Mixed Veggies on Rice🍛 DH wanted for have that for his lunch and so be it coz I love it too😍

    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    CW: 60.6kg

    Even though its only 0.1kg loss, I am still very happy. Not only that, I am now eating whatever I want so that I don't crave after my OMAD. Hope this will work for someone who loves food🤔😂🙏

    Am going to try to exercise a minimum of 20 mins per day and am hoping that my vertigo doesn't acts up🤞

    Keep up the good work, you guys❤️

    Wow. You've had a lot on your plate recently! I think last year hit us all like a bus. Sounds like you're kicking some major butt though!
