Yesterday around 2pm I caved in and had a chicken salad sandwich, then decided to continue with the meal and skip sukiyaki. My daughter wasn't excited about going and my husband was working, so it was an easy choice. I ate too many carbs: pepperoni on crackers, string cheese and bacon (whatever was in the fridge!). I need…

I agree with what you wrote Sandy, but it is a bit scary to consider. It is likely a combination of insulin resistance and being loose with my rules. I started omad with the delusion that I could indulge in carbs again. The fact is, when I eat carbs I crave them more. I'm also not drinking enough water, not sleeping well…

You are rocking it! I live your calculated ambition, too. You are very in tune with your body.

Your salad looks amazing! I'm going to try to recreate it. I only recently started putting chia on my salads. Brilliant idea.

I did so well for most of yesterday, but after my daughter went to sleep I snapped and ate: raw cookie dough (blech), her leftover peanut butter toast and a handful of cheese-its. Sigh. Either the sudden food or the raw dough didn't sit well and I was immediately ill. This morning I am still at 181. This is grasping at…

I resisted the burger! Calories low and my eating window short, but yesterday I used my calories almost exclusively on carbs. Today was not much better. I had yogurt, granola, fruit and honey followed by bacon and eggs and a chocolate chip cookie. I think I do well with hard limits, which is why omad and keto work for me.…

Six pounds is great! Good work.

Nice loss! I'd like to think that this will happen to me soon. I am struggling this week.

I am in awe of your commitment. You know just when to rein it in and when to enjoy.

Keeping my head above water. I made my family Paleo waffles this morning (11ish) and decided to try them, as well. Not bad. That moved my eating window earlier than usual, so I made bacon and eggs to top it off. I'm feeling the hunger pangs now (5:30) and hope I don't derail before bedtime. I'm out of stevia, so that…

Brenda, I watched some of Joe's videos last night. I was reminded to keep it simple - one hour, one plate. I was having energy issues for awhile with one meal and opened my window up and that is where the issues crept in. Thank you. Tuesdays I take my homeschooler and a friend's daughter to a group class way out in West…

Enjoy the 150s! You are an inspiration.

Yesterday was a free-for-all involving chocolate and ice cream. My husband worked, so I had a beef brisket meal at Whole Foods. I decided not to weigh today. Today I made it to 12:30 with no food or stevia. Black coffee was not so bad. My meal was carb-y. Cheese enchiladas and refried beans (long story involving my husband…

Amazing!

Hi Everyone. Apparently I'm not a support group person. I am really bad at supporting others. It's been difficult for me because I'm still trying to figure out how to fast properly. I am bouncing between 179 and 180 still. Of course I recognize that I may be fasting improperly and eating too much. However, I feel that…

Woot! Woosh-a-rific. The fifties are waiting for you.

Delicious! I can't believe mashed cauliflower wasn't a thing until recently. It's so good.

Sushi! And food trucks! OMAD life is good.

A loss is a loss. I'm sure your Dr. will be pleased with your progress. Keep it up!

My daughter was up with what I thought was the onset of a fever or stomach bug. She is fine…

Speaking ill of a stranger is the least attractive thing imaginable. I feel sorry for them. I was listening to Dr. Berg last night and he said something along the lines of "get healthy to lose weight rather than lose weight to get healthy." Sometimes it is best to just focus on the habits and let the scale pout.

You are moving on down! 162 is waiting for you. I laughed at sleep eating. Definitely a thing.

I hope everyone there starts feeling better. Your body knows what it needs.

I must resist the cheese-its and plain pasta. I…

Delicious looking food! $50 for Halo Top is a perfectly reasonable investment, IMHO. Lily's chocolate went on sale at Whole Foods and a grabbed... a few. Good luck with the wedding shenanigans. Hold your ground!

Sandy, A belated welcome back from a newcomer! I’m clinking my bulletproof coffee mug to yours! Cheers. 8.8 pounds in two weeks is amazing! Kudos for tracking glucose! A great data point - probably more so than weight.

You're doing great! I love your enthusiasm. It's important to have fun along the way.

I was moody last week, as you can probably see from my posts. Yesterday I found out why. It's lovely having no idea when your time of month will be. I finally made it to 179. I expect another drop soon since I know I am retaining water. Today's meal was from the Whole Foods buffet: jalapeno beef, potatoes, chickpeas,…

Every time I read about jiggly flesh or firm butts I get a bit angry... angry because my wonderful, talented mother was overweight. Angry because I put on much weight while doing the most important work of my life...giving birth to and raising my daughter. I know many amazing overweight people who beat themselves up…

Yesterday I broke OMAD. My husband was off work. My one meal calories were low, so I indulged in cheese-its, a drink with my husband, followed by dessert. This morning I decided to put stevia and unsweetened almond milk in my coffee. Giving up my preferred coffee may be a deal breaker for omad. I can tolerate it if I know…
