Having a cheat day saturday but will try to keep it around 1200 calories, getting around the social eating thing by cooking…

i hear you deb. I'm not expecting it but I would be delighted if it happened

ha! good one grace! Yes I'd like to weigh 120 but I'd be outta this world ecstatic with 55 kilos by New Years. around 4 kilo loss. I'll settle for 56

Hmmm....Just realized my Number 1 reason for OMAD. I'm not unhappy with myself because I'm overweight. I'm unhappy THAT I am overweight, and the reason behind that is extreme self loathing stemming from a lifetime of addictive, procrastinatory, self defeating behavior that CAUSED the weight, and more addictive,…

absolutely guys! Thank you so much for all the support! I'm there with you on the financial situation too... we will get there. Congratulations on the new client Kitty! Why until the start of 2018 1MADGIRL? That sounds super rough! Money is a tough one, but having grown up without it you place your value on other things,…

Alright Deb, we gotta change this. It's absurd. If I were to look at you, or anyone else for that matter, all I see is light and beauty shining out and think they are infinitely worthy, of anything, love, care, compassion, a wonderful life. I always have seen this. Yet I cannot give it to myself. We deserve so much more…

Thanks Linda!

Also, I don't know about you guys, but I've been feeling real down lately, and I've noticed it has bled over into all areas of my life. I'm schlepping around in scungy slippers, my house cardigan, no makeup (not that I think it's necessary, but you know, not making the most of myself), crappy hair like a scarecrow, no…

No probs Kitty, anytime! Sunday had some neapolitan pizza. If y'all don't know what that is, Naples is the birthplace of pizza. It's is simple, amazing, with tomatoes from the slopes of vesuvius, basil and mozzarella, cooked in a wood oven, until it's has scorched bits underneath. Ecco: I ate 3/4's of it, reluctantly, for…

Hi Deb, I hear you on the refined sugar and carbohydrate thing, I struggle with the same thing. Sometimes if you have a reaction to something it can trigger an addiction, I struggle with this with pasta, bread, sugar, etc. I feel SOOO much better, more energy, less hunger, etc when I steer clear of it (even potatoes…
-
Kitty I'm bummed to hear you had a rough week, if it's any consolation I did too (I don't say this to bring the attention back to me, just to commiserate and let you know you aren't alone) and to say, maybe it's something planetary, in the stars. I'm blaming it on that anyway... If you ever need to unburden yourself, I'm…
-
Oh gosh you guys are fab, thanks so much! Yes, Bob, my intake has been at around 11-1400 cals.(a little higher on the days I did some long hikes) I'm going to cut right down on the things I can't measure EXACTLY (e.g. what on earth IS the exact calorie content of roast chicken, bought from a shop? Depends on many factors),…

Thanks guys, and good one SavedByGrace!!!!!

Hey guys! Just thought I'd report in. Haven't lost any weight, in fact I feel much bigger. Been OMADing faithfully all week...Not sure what to do. Maybe I'll try cutting calories back tomorrow... aya ya ya.... I can stand being hungry during the day, but to not have the reward of a "substantial" meal at the of the day is…
-
That's great to know Bob! Congratulations :) Still with us Deb? How are you going? I'm still here with ya. Back to feeling "round" today, but we are ticking. Another day down!
-
Ha! That's fantastic OMADing1 :) It's like that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer "missed his chance" and wasn't himself for a week, he finally used "the apparatus" and was a new man. That's good to know we ain't the only crampy campers
-
Linda you are fab. I'm taking your story with me. Deb, you can throw that bags of rocks across the atlantic, I will catch them for you. I will take your rocks, examine them, tell them off, then take them, and mine too, and give them to some local mafia dudes here. (don't know any yet but I'll find some for us). They can…
-
another day down! Good on all of us:) Yep, six weeks all the way, no backing out, you and me baby, (and anyone else)!
-
handshake accepted, and returned! Ha Bob, I think you are on the right path. Thank you:)
-
Hmm. There are a few options. Lately I've realized when you give people a short but firm answer, they kind of of just give up. Remember, you have to be able to say no to others before you can say no to yourself. "C'mon secret_despair30, you don't need to lose weight, it's unhealthy not to enjoy life. I made it just for you…
-
Heya Deb.I know tis hard to not feel blue, but its only been a week, don't worry. You were already eating quite well before this so it' not like you are going to suddenly drop a whole to of water weight, etc, because you were previously bingeing macdonalds 5 times a dy.Hang in there love, I'm with you. It will start to…
-
Ha no the pinching of the posterior is TOTALLY not ok, the men here are actually very very polite, very tame (in the same way the average american is, there are always bad seeds but on the whole not at all threatening or space invading). Yes Deb, I am glad my posts are helping you, as yours are me, you have no idea! yes,…
-
Oh, Deb, a funny aside. I just moved to Italy from Germany 3 months ago. I lived in Berlin for 2 years. In that whole time in Berlin, I, nor any of my girlfriends, had a single german fella even glance at us sideways. Someone once said, for the average german man "If you have the most beautiful woman walking down the…

Thus continues my poor relationship with alcohol/ food. Yesterday ended up being ANOTHER foul up. Sigh. Guys, If this is going to work, I need to question the role of alcohol in my life. In fact Mon-Fri of not drinking made me realize I don't really need it. It is nice, but it completely diverts my goals, my energy, etc.…
-
Thanks OMADing1, and it's true, all of it! Last night was a bit of a fluff, went out, had two glass of wine, came home and ate a small (second) meal. Today feel a bit of a failure, but I ain't giving up. In fact I had a date tonight, but knowing it's going to involve wine, I transferred it to tomorrow daytime. Then they…

I hear you,I'm exactly the same
-
pound, that it is. BTW, epsom salts are a good old fashion remedy if you're desperate. cleans you out in a disturbingly efficient manner (though I'm used to them, so my body doesn't react so much, I take a small amount every day for magnesium, but like a quarter of a teaspoon). If you want a flush, take about 2-4…
-
Itms nice to know we aren't alone! Btw, count that into your weight, it could be you lost the pond but you've still got the weeks food to say goodbye to, and it's adding weight
-
Could be, Deb. Ill check the stores tomorrow...
-
Keep at it Deb, don't worry! Yes likely water weight, it is unlikely to lose a pound of actual "fat" so quickly, but keep going, don't worry! The most important thing right now is to become adapted to OMAD until it's natural. Then the weight WILL come off. I remember in one of the videos (and multiple other Intermittent…
