    I like the new plan too :) The weight will come off as you take care of yourself :)

    Just remember that muscle does weigh more than fat ---so if the scale creeps you will know it is for the best because you are building that muscle and getting stronger...….

    Definitely take note of how your clothes are fitting, they may be a better tell than the scale now that you have added the exercise. The scale won't tell the true story.

    4-5 pounds a month is a great realistic goal and I am sure you will knock it out of the park.

    I pretty much ate the exact opposite of how I planned, but this was really quick. I have since decided to eat what I want like I am supposed to on OMAD anyway. I do want to tackle my sugar addiction, but I think focusing on exercise and OMAD is probably all I can handle right now.

    Agreed babe, keep it to a reasonable, attainable, realistic goal - BTW eating what I want is the only reason I succeed on OMAD so God bless ya if you can stick to it otherwise LMAO

    I love being able to eat the foods that I want anytime I choose and yes there are days when I go lower calorie or lower carb but it's not a daily regimen anymore :)

    Me too...one reason I love Omar is because I can eat whatever I want. Keep up the good work🙂

    Hi Britt, I totally agree with the others if I don't eat what I want it causes me to eat everything in a mindless way. It is almost like if I try to restrict something I want it even more......So you do what is the healthiest for you not only physically but mentally at well ---that is a huge part of it also....You are doing great!!!

    Thanks for the support, ladies! Yes, eating what you want does make OMAD that much more enjoyable. I think I was trying to "supercharge" fat loss before so that I could hit goal by a certain date, but I think that's putting on too much pressure at an already stressful time. I keep getting sick, so I need to reduce stress as much as possible. I am finding that I am very hungry on workout days, though, so I may need to move to TMAD on those days but in a shortened window. Maybe 16:8.

    I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I ate that whole pint of ice cream, but I was ravenous yesterday. I only ate half of that cookie because it was awful. As mentioned before, I think I need to have a larger eating window on workout days. I am usually not super hungry after cardio, but I am straight up starving after resistance training and weights for some reason, which is what I did yesterday. I am thinking TMAD will be best, with my post-workout meal being protein-rich followed by another meal of whatever I want that fits into the OMAD guidelines.

    I agree on the TMAD for workout days. I am not back to it yet but if I do a spinning class i am starved....for those days, when I get back, I plan on having a protein rich salad or something but still IF on those days, like you said 16:8......

    Yeah babe, I feel like you're getting sick a LOT poor thing :( I'm glad you recognized this right away and kaputzed being aggressive on the weight loss - your overall health is MUCH more important...don't forget to meditate - when I forget, I feel MUCH crappier LOL

    Definitely doing TMAD on workout days (tomorrow), and thank you so much for the reminder about meditating, Steph! I do always feel much better when I do that, so I am going to make sure I do that.
