    Hi @GemmaDillySkilly (nice username), this is a very supportive group. I started last month and it's been really good for me.

    If you are tired, could it be because you're eating too little? For me, having too large a deficit is counterproductive. I just simply can't function and it slows me down too much.

    Name: bandwidthbandit (Don for short)
    Weight: 303lb/137kg/21.6st (start)
    284lb/129kg/20.4st (current)
    Height: 6'0"
    Goal: 225lb/102kg/16st (for starters)
    Began OMAD: 01/10/18 (IF since 01/01/18)
    Window: 5-7p.m.

    I began the year on a 4:3 IF schedule. Last week my wife told me I was noticably irritable on my fast days. I don't know if she was correct or not, but I know 32 hours without food was pushing the limits of my comfort. I did some re-assessment, and decided to try this schedule to see if it was a better fit for me. So far I am loving it. Much more satisfying to eat every day, and since MFP doesn't have a good way to track IF, I can more easily see where I am at on this protocol vs. a 4:3 or 5:2 schedule. I am looking forward to this year, and hope to get lots of tips from the community here.

    Hello my name is Ellen
    I am currently 115kg
    and i am 164 in height
    I have been a yoyo diater all my life and tried a lot of things but never gotten the results (mainly because i would always give up), then i heard about IF and thought well its 16:8 its easy and i got that going, and then saw a youtube video about a woman doing omad 3 times a week and i got curious and decide to google it, and here i am :)
    My goal weight would be 75 kilos
    My omad window is between 6 and 8 pm
    I started omad 10.01.18
    Looking forward to my omad journey :)
