Hi, everyone! After creeping on the forums for awhile, I've decided to finally create an account to help hold me accountable to my goals.
Now, onto the introductory questions...!
- You can call me Sunny!
- I presently weigh 125 lbs.
- I'm between 4'10" and 4'11"... I just sort of round up.
- I've never really struggled with carrying excessive weight, but I've had a hard time remaining within my healthy range ever since my father passed away. My most comfortable weight is 105, but I'm okay up to around 115. Above that, I can tell I don't feel well, and I don't like pushing my limits. I also do have PCOS, so that makes things a bit tough on my petite frame.
- My ideal range is 105-110, but I'm okay as long as I don't stumble over 115.
- My OMAD does vary a wee bit, but it's usually between 6:30-7:30 PM. On the weekends, it's more often between 3:30-4:30 PM.
- I started OMAD last week (with one cheat day). I don't know if I'll need the cheats every week, but I'd like to hold onto them as a buffer!
Thanks for any and all advice y'all can provide throughout my ongoing journey towards better health! 0 -

Tracey, you're a bit of a celebrity for me, so I really appreciate your warm welcome. I've read through all of your threads (before even making my own account), and I cannot say enough how much you inspired me to give OMAD a try in the first place.tlblanksfit wrote: »Welcome Sunny!

I am Sean, I am 6’4 and I weighed in yesterday at 375. My goal weight as of now is 250. I started omad yesterday. My meal time varies. With my work some weeks I am on overnight schedule or others I work normal days.
Overnight I wake up some time around noon. Drink coffee during the afternoon. If it’s a gym day I will have a protein shake after the workout. I go into work in the evening and I will eat my one meal when I get home around 4 or 5 in the morning.
Day time I wake up around 6am have coffee work. After work around 3 or 4 go to the gym. Then have dinner around 8 or 9.
So far I am doing fairly good. Trying to drink water when I am craving it.0 -

Hey everyone. My name is Miranda, feel free to call me that or my username. I currently weight 177.6 (down 6 pounds!). I'm 5'3". I've been struggling with my weight all of my life. I was the fat kid growing up. I was able to get down to 125 once, but dealing with medical issues with family members I used food to cope. And then the desk job after college and the scale just kept crawling up. In the process of trying to relearn what hunger feels like, I discovered I'm ok with eating once a day most days. Why not try to do it every day? I would love to get back down to 125 again, but realistically anything under 140 (considered the healthy weight range for my height) I'll be happy with. I'm not as concerned with that final number as I am with how I look and feel. The number is kind of a ballpark. I'm a big nerd, and I would love to feel more comfortable in my cosplays, or cosplay things I've been putting off because I feel like I don't have the right body type.
I'm going to eat my meal between 5 and 7pm, depending on the day. And I guess I officially started last Monday by accident, so 2/12/18.
Looking forward to journeying with you all.1 -
Welcome to OMAD Miranda. Great start!1

Hi,
my name is Alain,
39, I'm 5 7,
After viewing a video on YouTube about a guy that lost a 100 pounds in 1 year it inspired me.
So i started intermittent fasting eating twice a day 8/16, on December 28 2017, i was 251 pounds,
Around January 20 after looking on YouTube i started Omad,
Omad time 2pm before going to work.
As of today i lost 37 pounds in 59 days, current weight: 214 pounds.
i workout 2 hours per days 5 days a week from 11:30 pm to 1:30 pm, cardio, rowing machine, weight lifting and swimming,
my goal is to reach 154 pounds, at the rate i'm going should achieve it this summer.
I stumbled on your YouTube channel a week ago and really liked it and subscribed, Omad revolution!
I really like the Omad life style and sticking to it, but i think i'm losing weight too fast ,in the last 3 days i lost 4.6 pounds,
Should it be a concern for me to lose weight this fast ?0 -

Hi, Alain...
I wouldn't worry. Losses will taper off. Just keep a steady course and create a progress thread so we can all be in on your journey (if you are comfortable with that).

I've been doing Keto for 6 weeks and want to take it to the next level. I've been IF for several and have noticed the difference it offers. I've started OMAD this week. I'm going to ease into it, OMAD 3 days and TMAD and grow from there.0

Welcome! I have been doing this for a month and have lost over 10lbs. The group here is super informative and supportive! Hope you do well with your journey! For me, it has been such an easy WOE!
Good luck!

Hi, I’m Neil. 55, 5’9-1/2”, 252 lbs. Did keto, some success at first, supplemented with psyllium husk, hit a wall, gave myself permission to overeat fat because “calories don’t matter”. All came to a head past Christmas, binge eating, serious diarrhea, started passing blood. Found the book “Fiber Menace” learned I was hurting myself with excess fiber. Focused on gut health, make kefir. Stumbled onto OMAD Revolution on YouTube. Everything Joe said made sense, I felt like he was talking directly with me. I especially appreciate how Joe emphasizes we need to be productive people when choosing our eat times. I chose noontime. Goal weight for now is 210-225, adjust down as I go. Here I am, the rest is history. Thanks so much, Neil.
P.S. after much thought I realize my biggest problem is not keeping promises made to myself. This is a public declaration that ends here & now!2 -
Welcome Neil!1
