OMAD buddies?

Trying to lose about 35lbs in total, and finding OMAD really works for me as I LOVE eating a big meal!
I find it easier to stick to my calorie goals if I'm only having to count one meal a day. No bargaining with myself - "Oh, I'll have a bit more for breakfast and eat less later", or "I really fancy a snack now - so I'll just have a lighter meal tonight". Doesn't happen. Also if I really splurge one night, it's not as bad as splurging after also eating breakfast and dinner (that's lunch where I come from).
So far I've chipped 10lbs off, and it's been a lot easier than I expected. It's a really versatile diet which means that I can still go out for a big meal with friends, and I admit I do sometimes split my food over two meals on a Sunday with Mrs Pocket if we want to go out for breakfast somewhere.
Only trouble is, I let the diet slip for a while - a mixture of holiday, illness, and having to adjust my medication which has given me a month of hell and comfort eating! So I'm back on it now and absolutely loving it. Just need to iron out some of the kinks - I still use up too many of my calories with crisps and chocolate, for example. But I'm getting there.
Any other OMADers out there?
