Hi there! My name is Christie. This is day two of OMAD for me!
4 years ago I was 300 pounds. I lost over 80, but have gained back 30. So I'm at 250 now. I struggle with food addiction and binge eating disorder. So it's been several years of bouncing back and forth...the same 20 pounds it seems. My goal weight is around 150. I am 5'7. I'm 43, been overweight my whole life, have had 4 kids, and I'm ready to be done with this food nonsense. A few days I happened upon a girl on youtube who was doing OMAD. I had heard of it, but as a food addict, thought this would be impossible. But for the past year and my very busy schedule, I found it nearly impossible to find time to cook so many meals, shop, prep, etc. And, I HATE cooking and meal prepping. So I found myself grabbing pizza or hamburgers a lot. Anyway, she inspired me to look into this.
I found your youtube channel, which was so informative. Which led me here.
I love this idea of eating, because I know the benefits of IF, AND, I don't have to obsess about food throughout the day. I don't have to feel guilt and shame for eating something "bad." So far it's going well. I had some major digestive distress today after my meal, but I'm reading that's normal and will pass soon. (Please pass soon lol)
Anyway, grateful for all the info so far. Here's to a new lifestyle

Try cutting back on the amount of food you are eating, remember it is supposed to be one plate only. Welcome to the group 0 -
Thank you, I do eat one plate. Most days I eat a full avocado and more cheese to keep me full.0

Welcome! I'd monitor your balance of foods, and maybe throw a short extra fast in there to change things up a bit 0

4 week update. Finally my water loss has been over powered by my fat loss and I lost a pound to get to 151.5.
Slow and steady’
Consistency is the mantra
Health is becoming a priority0 -

Nice!!!
You should create a thread below to give us updates because this thread is just for introductions...You will get more responses because not everyone reads this introduction thread. Water weight losses are exciting, but the fat weight losses are even better 0 -
Hi All,
My name is Wil (screen name wildabeasst)
Current weight 325lbs
Height 5'11"
In 2009 I weighed in at 405lbs. Over the next three years I dropped to 238lbs and stopped losing weight. I started gaining as I went off my VERY strict diet and ever increasing strenuous exercise that included running and crossfit. Then in 2014 we moved 2900 miles and my weight skyrocketed to 339lbs. (December 2018)
My ultimate goal weight range is 190-210.
My current goal range is 270-280.
My OMAD is at 5:00pm.
I started OMAD February 6th 2019.
I honestly wish I found OMAD in 2009 as it truly makes sense to me and even more has helped me start the process of realizing my relationship with food.
I need to eat to live NOT live to eat.1 -

Hi all! My name is Kendria and I been doing OMAD since the beginning of the year. I am around 5' 10 and am hoping you all can help me. I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong? I have lost some weight but never really got the momentum that others have. I have fought for every single pound. I started Jan 2, 2019, at 268 and as of today, I am 252. The lowest I got was 247 and but slowly crept back up. I haven't changed anything. I eat anywhere between 1200-1400 calories each day at dinner around 6pm. I don't go crazy measuring my calories, but because I know that I can eat A LOT, I wanted to give myself an idea of how many calories I was consuming with my regular meals. My goal weight is 180 and that just seems so far away! Should I just be thrilled that I have lost this much or is there something I can do to help myself gain some momentum? TIA!0

My name is Amy. I’m 44, 5’7 and currently 184lbs. I gained a good deal of weight when I was pregnant (at 39) and struggled with CICO to lose 30lbs, followed by a quick 15lbs with keto. I kept up with keto for about a year and then life got in the way. Over the holidays I regained a lot of weight because my voracious appetite returned. I connected the insulin resistance dots and arrived at intermittent fasting. I’ve been doing 20/4 and less since about mid February and lost 5 lbs. Now I’m hoping to lose about 30 more. Beyond the weight, I’m trying to prevent Type 2 diabetes, which runs in my family, and ensure that I am around for a long time for my daughter. I’m in no rush, but I would be happy to lose 20 by my birthday and anniversary in June. I need a bit of accountability.1

Welcome all. Missed meeting so many of our new members.
I’m proof that this works, have to just keep plugging away.1 -
Ciao a tutti - or hello all
I am from Italy and please forgive if my english is not that best.
As every italian man/boy I love to eat and drink - but with the consequenze that year by year i have a bit more on my rips.
By "accident" I found OMAD Revolutione on youtube. I never did a diet before - oh wait - for 3 months my ex took me to WW - but to be honest, if you love eating , then WW and all other diets are not working - at least not for me.
So why not try fasting and in the right way - OMAD.
Madonna.
So I think i share some numbers about me:
Current weight 120 kilograms
Height 1m 84cm
My ultimate goal weight range does not exist. I will be happy to wear my pants 2,3 numbers smaller and that sitting in public transport feels comfortable again - you certainly know what i mean, certo?
My OMAD is at 7pm a la sera
I started OMAD 3 days ago - today is day 4!
Saturday and Sunday I was able to wait until afternoon for first food - monday was big challenge back in office. So a simple excuse not to eat anymore with office mates instead incredible fame = cravings? in the afternoon, but managed to eat a bit later 5pm with snacking until 7pm.
Today home office and so far no hunger at all. I slept like a baby :-) feeling incredible powerful.
So, I hope I find here some good new friends for motivation and exchange of good things and "bad" things.
Grazie & saluti a tutti
