    Hi everyone,
    My name is Gerrit. My current weight is 420 lbs. (6’3”) down form over 460 in March. My goal weight is 200-240 lbs. I have lost a lot of weight (120+ lbs) a few years ago and gain it all back and then some. I am just stating OMAD today and will be eating supper between 5 and 7 depending on my kid’s schedules. I have been doing low carb since March and been trying a 4:20 IF (basically 2 meal in a 4 hour period).

    Hi, friend.

    You can totally win. Just think LONG GAME. Stay the course.

    Welcome!

    Some big changes ahead. You seem to be on the right track. Just remember, the change must be considered permanent to stick with it. Make no mistake; your mind will go back and forth and play tricks on you, but hang in there!

    Dear OMAD Family,

    Dan here. I am starting on my OMAD today.

    One question keep popping up. I noticed that a lot of fellow OMADers seem to eat their 1 meal in the evening.

    However I always feel very hungry when i wake up.

    So i am thinking of making that 1 meal a day, my breakfast. However, I hope that the experts can advice me on that whether it is suitable and why so many people are only eating in the evening?

    Thank you. 😁🙏

    Hello Dan! I am new at OMAD and here too.
    I am sure everyone has different reasons for their eating time, but mine is that after eating i feel very very sleepy and tired. This was actually a huge problem for my performance at my work. I also exercise everyday and afterwards i feel amazingly hungry. So overall these are my reasons to eat on the evening. Hope you will reach your goals soon 😊😊

    I am gearing up for another big OMAD push. :) January always brings me a lot of willpower. I'm hoping to ride this wave for the whole year and not peter out again in March like I did before.

    your name or preferred username : Deb
    ...your weight : 214lbs (97kg)
    ...your height : 5.5 ft (168cm)
    ...any past struggles you've faced or are facing: Lack of Energy, starting to have some knee and back pain
    ...your goal weight range : 140 lbs (65kg)
    ...the time of your OMAD 6-7pm
    ...and your OMAD start date. 1/2/2020

    I've started practicing. In the past, I have experimented with when to eat my meal and found that lunch is the ideal time, hunger-wise. However, it is the most inconvenient time. Eventually, the problems associated with bringing a big OMAD meal to work every day overcome my organizational skills. This go around, I'm going to try to deal with the hunger and have my main meal at night. I picture myself taking a walk during lunchtime and picking up any grocery items I need. We'll see.

    Today I ate at 12:30pm...I'm trying to train myself to eat later and later until it is 6pm, just in time for when I need to go back to work on the 4th.

    Hello Dan and welcome to the group. I think most people choose their meal time based on their lifestyle and how it best fits in. I think people may choose an evening meal because they can eat with their family who may not be doing OMAD. Some people choose later times because if they eat early, it makes them hungrier throughout the day so they opt to wait. I did the breakfast OMAD for a while and found it doable, but I was missing out on meals with my family so I went back to the evening meal. Whichever time frame you choose, it should be one you can stick to. Again, welcome to the group and welcome to OMAD.

    OMAD group! I'm happy to see this.

    I'm wanting to do this more consistently because I know when I have long fasting days consecutively I can feel my inflammation subside and have so much less pain in my knees. I also know if I weigh less I'll have less pain in those knees as well.

    About me:
    66 years old
    5'6"
    53 pound loss wanted
    married
    2 daughters
    3 grandchildren
    work for husband's biz as office manager

    Goals:
    53 pound loss
    Increased fitness
    Increased well-being

    Because I know being thinner isn't a cure for love of self, but it sure can help.

    I'm happy to be here.

    Past struggles - it will sound like an exaggeration but I lost 140 at least 4 times in my life. I just can't avoid putting it on again and it seems to lose it as you get older. It very time-consuming.
    OMAD start date: 10 January 2021
    Honestly, I have not had the guts to weigh myself yet but already feel 10 times better.
