@EstrangedTiger Are you back from Canada? I hope you had a good time with your buddies! I've been thinking of you and wanting to share that I got away from OMAD (purposely) because I was having too many headaches fasting and then couldn't make myself fast on the weekends. I used to do OMAD only M-F and then let myself…

Creamed spinach and pasta with smoked chicken sausage.

@EstrangedTiger Too bad my body won’t play the game of wanting to exercise. :p

Day 3, almost no headache today and barely any hunger. I love that my body remembers how to cope! Hope you all are having a good day :)

Thanks! I’ll check it out and maybe give it a try.

Thank you @EstrangedTiger for all the strategies! Very helpful. I’m a single mom of one child, a 13yo daughter named Annie. She hardly pays attention to anything I do, say, eat, wish, etc. lol. She does have junk in the house but I could have her keep it in her cave (bedroom) where she spends most of her time. That way I…

Well, I made it. My head hurt all day long but I made it to 6:30pm. I could tell my body remembers the drill, but it definitely was not happy. Lol. Feels good to have day one done. I had delicious blackened cod tacos with jalapeño aioli, cucumber salad, and—I’ll admit it—a small mug of ice cream. Baby steps. Today reminded…

Hi Brenda! Good to “see” you again. You look fantastic!

Hi everyone. I’ve been here before and had success with OMAD and then stopped because I was having a lot of migraines and the fasting seemed to be exasperating them. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I was on here. I have failed miserably. Been eating so badly and feeling terrible and depressed. Today is Day One…

I hope someone has an idea bc I'm in the same boat.

Wow, Jim. I'm speechless.

I swear by white noise for sleeping. Played it consistently for my daughter when she was a baby and could hear it through the monitor which got me hooked. She doesn't need it to sleep anymore (she's12), but I do. I listen to this one every night to fall asleep: https://youtu.be/bNqERBWaJeM I'm looking forward to trying out…

I'm trying to catch up with people's stories without reading entire threads. Do you mind telling me how long you've been eating OMAD? OMAD plus vegan sounds tough. I went strictly vegan for 30 days. It was rough on me.

So proud of you for meeting your goal! Sorry about missing the big moment though. I look forward to learning about the bear maintenance plan and seeing how you do with it. :smile:

Part of me wants to try kimchi really badly and part of me is disgusted by it. I watched a show on how it's made and it completely grossed me out. I imagine all things fermented are made a similar way, but I just can't get the image of big barrels of the stuff sitting out in the sun forever out of my head.

Day 4: Settling back into OMAD nicely; constantly hungry but not as intensely; pushing hot green tea If you haven't watched Joe's recent YouTube videos (I still have a few to catch up on myself), be sure to make time to watch this one: https://youtu.be/efmp5ZB2A4M @arguablysamson Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I needed…

Thank you ladies! I'm happy to be able to say that I made it to 6 p.m. today.

Hello my friends! I hope everyone is well, happy, and still OMADing. :smile: Thank you for your kind words of encouragement about my lump scare. They were fibrous cysts, thank God. Major relief! I had a hormone shot a month ago and 2 weeks later, insatiable hunger set in as a side effect. I knew that was a potential side…

Hey everyone. Hottie has been kicked to the curb. Definitely a player, but it was fun while it lasted. Got some not so great news today. The two lumps a nurse practitioner found in my breasts last week were confirmed as "still there" this morning. I dismissed them last week bc I was on my cycle and I know that can cause…

Hola! Star for weight and angry bird for OMAD. Not bad! No need to update the chart though...just sharing. ☺

Hey strangers ;) I know, I know... I'm the stranger! So sorry...kinda distracted these days. <3 :p ;) Update...I stayed home with my daughter during her spring break and gained gained gained! I was so undisciplined. Shame on me. Lol. I've dropped it all though. Back to where I was last time I updated (2 weeks ago.) I even…

I hadn't even thought of it that way. You're right! And thank you. :) Aww, shucks. :blush: I think you're right. My confidence has been slowing increasing with the weight loss, then got another boost when I passed that wicked test. This gentleman (we'll call him X--his first initial) has increased it 10-fold. I've been…

Thank you ladies!

Morning morning! This needs to be quick... I'm at 262 this morning. Haven't seen that number on the scale in 12 years! New development... I'm dating again. Haven't dated in about 5 years. A long time to go without romantic affection of any kind. I'm cautiously optimistic and glowing. Girls... he's 6'4", olive-skinned,…

Hey guys. I've been in the throes of tax season crunch time the past week. Between studying for my exam and taxes, I either haven't had the opportunity or haven't had the energy to socialize and follow everyone's OMAD journeys. After April 18, things should get back to normal pretty quickly. My weight has been up and down…

Keeping things simple this month. OMAD: One plate of food a day + one splurge day every other week. Weight: Lose 5 lbs

I didn't lose (or gain thankfully) anything worth mentioning but I did pass the CPP exam. <3

You're so sweet. It did feel amazing...still does. My hands were shaking for about 45 minutes after I passed. It was really tough and I'm so glad it's over.

Thanks everyone! I'm determined to have 2017 involve lots of progress toward a better me. A couple times this last week, I was so hungry that I couldn't focus to study so I ate off schedule. I couldn't afford to be distracted. The scale shows my undisciplined eating but I expected that. Now I can refocus and get back to…

I PASSED! So happy
