    I'm loving all the results you're seeing, Donna! So incredible! I saw that you noted you like to do 2MAD on the weekends... may I ask, do you isolate your eating to an 8 hour window during that time? Or, is it strictly what it says--two plain meals?

    I'm just curious, but so far with OMAD, I've been eating strictly OMAD for 6 days a week, then one day is a "free" day where I eat two meals with a snack or two. Do you think it'd be more beneficial for me to have two 2MAD days and five OMAD days, vs. what I'm doing now?

    I feel like there has to be a less confusing way of asking what I'm asking... so hopefully you can follow my scrambled words, haha. Looking forward to seeing more of your progress! You're doing great! <3

    And you know what, last night I had cheese grits, shrimp, salad and a cupcake for dinner! *the grits - it's a southern thing for those of you not from the south* :).

    I love shrimp and grits! Great progress and keep it up!

    You are doing great! I think it is good to look at the scale often (as long as it doesn't cause discouragement). Keep it up!

    Thanks everyone! I had a long four day weekend but did OMAD for Friday/Saturday and was a bit more laxed on Sunday/Monday. Weigh in for me will be Friday this week. Hoping for another couple of pounds to make it a loss of 10 for the first month.

    Sunny - for me I do OMAD five days a week M-F. On Saturday it is my typical free day where I may eat something for breakfast (omlette) and then dinner. I am not really a snacking person so I haven't done that. On Sunday it is just a small yogurt for breakfast and then dinner. This is what is working for me right now. I think it just depends on your body and what you can handle. In terms of timing, on the weekends my breakfast would be around 9am or 10am and i wouldn't eat again until around 7. So for those days, just a couple of hours, but I am not really that strict with the timing if that makes sense.
    Hope you are doing well!

    Good morning,

    I did my pre-weigh in yesterday and was down from 189.6 to 188. The official weigh in is tomorrow and I am really hoping for another pound to get to 187. If so, that will be 10lbs gone for the month of February. Fingers crossed.

    Have done really well this week with OMAD, other than a few hunger pains on Monday (after coming off Sat/Sun 2mad no big issues.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Happy Friday Omad group!!

    Today was weigh in at for me, and being at 188 on Wednesday left me a bit worried about 187 today, BUT when I stepped on the scales this morning I was down to 186.6!!!!!!! :D:D
    So, since starting on 2-5-18 at 197 I have lost 10.4lbs.

    This is one of the easiest WOE I have ever experienced. I have learned in the past month:
    1. I control food it doesn't control me
    2. I actually now enjoy my food when my meal time comes
    3. I feel great, more energy, clearer mind
    4. I sleep great!
    5. I do have self control
    6. I do like black coffee
    7. I can do this long-term it doesn't feel like I am restricting myself

    Now on to setting my goal for March. I would like to be at 175 by the end of March, that might be a stretch, but for now that is where I am starting out.

    Good luck to everyone!

    That is awesome. I am so happy for you. OMAD is easy and does work. I can sense that this is a lifestyle change for you and you are going to be all the better for it. Keep up the good work. 175 by the end of March, you've got that!

    Very nice! You are doing great! I haven't tried the traditional many small meals count your calorie thing because I know that would be near impossible for me so I guess this WOE is way easier than that. I do find this WOE takes an effort for me but it is very doable. Congrats.

    Nice job babe! We're close to the same weight so I'd love to hit 175 by the end of March too! We have a similar goal weight also (I think yours was 150...mine is 135-145) I'm 5'6.75" - how tall are you? Let's rock this out! :)

    Hi Steph,
    My first goal is 150 my ultimate goal range will be 135-145 as well but 150 seems more reasonable for where I am now :) I am only 5'4 and the 135-145 range is where I really need to be.

    Yes - let March madness begin 175 we can totally do this!!!

    WOOT WOOT! I totally think we can - I might try just straight OMAD this week and see where that puts me...it'll probably show me at a gain because I won't be fasted but it might shake things up a bit :)
