Please just use this thread to post your Microscope March posts. I highly recommend also copying your Microscope March post in your individual thread where comments can be made. To keep this thread as clean as possible please make comments, congratulations, and encouragements on the individual posters personal thread.
Microscope March is the month to take a detailed look into your weight loss/maintenance/eating way of life plan. Even if you are not exclusively OMAD, you are welcome to participate. Microscope March will allow you to focus on other things as well as food. Some of the things you may want to look at include sleep, exercise, water intake, heart rate, stress levels etc.
Whatever plan you are on, this is the time to really dig deep and examine all the things that go into you successfully reaching your goals. Below is a sample outline that you can use for your Microscope March Posts. You can choose which items to include or add additional items in your post. This month is for YOU, so include as little or as much in your post as you would like to help you meet your goal.
Today’s Date:
Todays Plan: OMAD, 16:8, 20:4, 5:2, bear (whatever plan you are following and if you are in weight loss or maintenance) Plan may change depending on the day (ex. OMAD on weekdays/Fast Day/16:8 on weekends).
Weight Goal for the Month:
Today’s Weight:
Today’s Water Consumed:
Today’s Exercise completed (calories burned if desired):
Hours slept:
Description/Photo of Meals consumed along with times and calorie count (if desired, not necessary)
Your thoughts/comments on the day:
Other things to consider are various measurements if taken, and the day’s NSVs.
I recommend writing your post up in a separate document and add to it throughout the day as you have your meals and exercise, etc. so that you have accurate information and times and are not forced to have to remember at the end of the day. When you are ready, you can copy from your document into your daily Microscope March post.
Best Wishes for a successful Month!

Total deficit planned should show a 2 pounds scale loss.
I'll update my thread with everything else too

March 5th
Todays Plan: OMAD: Had a late meeting at work, and that led to an impromptu dinner out Mexican and by the time we were there I was starving...….I didn't make a great choice by getting nachos and I am so puffy today from the salt.....oh did I mention margarita?? They go hand in hand......anyway......pushing the heckola out of some water today....!
Weight Goal for the Month: Funsie goal 155.....Real goal 158 would be great.....
Today’s Weight: Friday's weight Will weigh on Friday

Hours slept: 7 ish
Your thoughts/comments on the day: AVC was taken yesterday.
Just a note, that now when I eat way too much salt I notice it......never before did I notice or pay attention but now I just wake up feeling gross......I think the OMAD way of life really helps you notice your bodies reaction to different things instead of when you eat all the time....
