Today was a good day. I ended up eating one meal with my family, which my mother cooked. About 20 minutes after finishing my meal I was craving more sugar. Another hour after that I was craving sugar again. I managed to redirect my focus and stick to the initial amount of dessert I had intended. My sugar cravings have been…

Day 7 of being on track! 8 lbs down from where I was last Wednesday. No updates because I have started school, got engaged, and it's been too busy at work to log in. I am taking time today however, because it has been a whole week with no huge incidents. The only "hiccup" I could say happened was Monday when I ended up…

My one meal for yesterday was at a buffet. I also had a snack size bag of lays potato chips after the church service. Today I am more keenly aware of maintaining an addiction frame of mind. I know how slippery the slope is. I can't say I'm day one of abstaining since I did have dessert, but I walked away from some of it. I…

If I may ask, what is your dream job and why would you have to lose weight to get it?

I have been avoiding this thread because I was so ashamed. I never got back on track with OMAD after my vacation. Even though some of the weight did come off, I am not where I was before leaving for vacation. I struggled with deciding if I should go back to OMAD if I am just going to put on weight. I had a realization last…

I am back! Vacation did not go well, decision wise. I gained weight. I ate things I had been trying to avoid. Even after coming back my body was used to consuming way too many calories. Yesterday I finally whipped myself back into some kind of shape and ate a snack around noon and then a meal at 5. Today is back on track.…

This evening I went to my favorite pizza place in Phoenix. I was unable to eat both 16" slices that come with the meal which just a few short weeks ago I could have easily done. Two things I am aware of...1 I was tempted to drink soda. This is something I would like to avoid while on vacation. 2 The pizza tasted so good,…

200.8 today! Today is my last day of work, and then I go on vacation. My goal is to not go too crazy while on vacation. Since I am not hungry during the day usually I am hoping to stick to one large meal in the evenings which is my home routine. I may be eating more however because 1) I am on vacation 2) Birthday--cake is…

201.4 today. I had a binge episode last night. I am being pushed to my mental limits these days with an overwhelming amount of work. It has been a very difficult week, but yesterday was the only day I let go of the control and had a binge episode. I waited until 6 pm to eat dinner. I was at my parents house studying so I…

201.6 today. I had Mexican food with my mom yesterday, a few pieces of candy, and half a banana muffin that wasn't satisfying so I threw it away. These are stressful days leading to my vacation. I have another exam for my class, work is so swamped I usually don't have time to go to the bathroom or take lunch. I leave for…

Scale is still at 202.4. I went a little crazy yesterday with dinner, having a cookie and a half over what I meant to, and drinking a glass of soda. I am so busy this week I will try to update.

So I just read the "The Truth About Exercise at a Calorie Deficit" thread. I think I may have found my issue. It's so strange to think I need to NOT exercise as much. However, when I was house-sitting, admittedly I wasn't exercising as much. Giving this a try.

ARGHHHHHHHH. I am so frustrated with my weight! My weight has come up to 202.4, despite eating at a larger calorie deficit yesterday. Ever since I came home my weight has slowly been crawling up. I haven't been eating bad, in fact, I have been eating better. Same portions, less sugar. I have also worked out 4 times this…

My entry from yesterday got eaten. Booger! Today I weighed in at 201.2. My body is stabilizing. Even though the scale has gone up, my body looks slimmer. I had a "refeed" day yesterday, where you eat slightly more than you would on your normal OMAD (which is only done periodically). So I did have some food during the day,…

Today has been an interesting day. I continue to troll the MyFitnessPal communities for support and inspiration. Tonight I had spaghetti with meatballs for dinner. The day to day has been uneventful the last few days, but I'm holding in there. Since I had to finish an exam for school, there was no workout for me today. I…

Me too! It's been over 5 years since I have been. We are also going to Universal Studios so I can be at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for my birthday!

Today I am up .2, but I am still extremely happy! I know my body is adjusting since I dropped by 2 lbs, 2 times last week. Today I am feeling nice and hungry but it is not unmanagable. I have not been drinking enough water the last few days. I have been so busy I can barely change my mind let alone get more water in me. I…

Things are going good with OMAD. Today I had a stressful day at work. Instead of shoving my face fully of candy, as I normally would, I took one piece of candy to have after my dinner. Instead of turning to food after work when I was feeling defeated, I decided to jump on the treadmill in an attempt to burn off some…

Update for 7/11/16: I am now .7 from being under 200 lbs. I learned a little something yesterday. I get more psychological cravings now than physical ones. I am not hungry during the day, but I get something in my mind that sounds good and I concentrate on it until I fulfill it. For example, early last week I was hungry…

An update to my intro... I ended up starting 6/25 instead of 6/21, but still going strong! I'm very close to being under 200 lbs now.

Thank you!

Right now I have 202 pounds. This is the time I have to be really careful because I start seeing success, and then I backslide into old habits that counteracts my success. I learned some time last year that I get nervous with success. I think that ties into part of the reason that I gained weight, which is to shield myself…

Day 14 of OMAD! Aside from the downfall of the holiday, I have been staying strong. I'm no longer hungry during the day. This has helped keep me from indulging in the office candy bowl at work. I have been eating one meal a day, and I am 6 pounds down in 14 days. That's an average of 3 pounds a week. I hit 210 pounds and…

I noticed you said you stopped tracking obsessively. Do you think there is a correlation between tracking calories and binge episodes? I notice when I'm NOT tracking calories I tend to not go all out into binges. Thanks for this post.
