You're doing great! Isn't is nice when you have a little bounce & you're still in Onederland? :)

Ooohh...I'm so glad I've already had my meal today, lol. That looks awesome.

Excellent!!

Yep, the shrinking stomach is a "thing"! Love it!

It's where you eat nothing but potatoes for a few days. When it works, you lose fat, not water, because you don't gain it back. It also promotes good gut bacteria if you use cooked & cooled potatoes because they provide food in the form of resistant starch. Tons of information on different forums, people have tried all…

2.5# is awesome! I understand why you want to stop the fasts, though. My OMAD is lunch. It just seems to work better because I'm hungrier earlier in the day and there seems to be a lot of food at work so that deals with any temptation there. I think I would sleep better if I ate a dinner, though, so I may change down the…

Thanks, everyone! Lisa, I have to weigh every day or I tend to stray off the path. Besides, I'm a data analyst and it doesn't bother me to see the ups & downs. I'd prefer to catch something earlier rather than later. Whenever I've fallen off track it's because I stopped paying attention. Everyone is different, though. I…

Great job!

Thank you!

I'm noticing that, too. The over-full feeling is very unpleasant so I dwell there when it happens, to remember. I think that when I'm in social/celebratory situations I'm going to just eat very slowly, that might take care of it for me.

Yum! I used to make something like those with dates, nuts, dried cherries, cocoa & a touch of triple sec but an orange flavoring would work, too. Dangerous to have around. :p

That looks AWESOME!

Super good job! I've given up figuring out why/when the weight comes off. I haven't really lost anything in about 5 days, but I can feel my lower ribs all of a sudden so I know it's still working. :)

Fantastic job, Ali! So many benefits to this way of eating. Losing weight almost seems to be a side benefit. :D

That's beautiful!! & you look great, don't be mean to yourself! I actually think you look about the same as I do right now at 165. I like trend lines, too. :)

Doing pretty good! Still have 1 tub of coffee creamer some mornings. Had 1oz of cashews 2 nights because I wasn't feeling well & knew I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't have something. I'm doing JUDDD atm. Not sure if it's helping or not. I may go back to just a regular meal. I may do a potato hack for a few days. Did…

Mid-month check in. Doing well with 1 & 3. Not every meal yet, but most. Averaging 2.5# per week, so I'll take that!

I want to fast eventually for health & spiritual reasons but I'm going to wait a little while. As along as things are moving along as they should, I think I'll save it as a tool for when I may need one.

Wow wow wow!! You're doing fantastic!! Yep, stay focused on today, can't do anything about yesterday. My weight has beenbouncingup & down a # for a few days & I'm becoming suspicious of salt. I have some Morton's lite, time to dig it out. Enjoy your bowls!

Great job! It's nice when you get it figured out and can be so frustrating when there is no apparent pattern. :smile:

That wrap looks great! The filling reminds me of something I used to do once in a while when I did LC. I put olive tapenade on a Wasa cracker, top with parmesan and then put under the broiler for just a bit. Sounds odd but they were SO good. Drat, now I have to go get the stuff, lol.

It's really good!! That will become a staple for us. We had taco salads and it was great, thanks for the idea!

Welcome, Lisa!

Just curious, were you on a longer fast when this occurred? LOVE those moments!

Don't worry about that lb. It's likely just a bit of water. Enjoy the fast! I love the mental clarity that usually comes with a fast. :)

Good news, OmadRyback! And newmeadow, great insights about yourself. That's so important to success.

That's FANTASTIC! To lose 5# a week this far into the journey is amazing!

You may be surprised. I often had a big weight drop after a carb up day like that when I was low carbing.

Fantastic job!! Great spreadsheet, too! :) That fried chicken meal looks amazing!! And to lose so much weight eating that is heaven on earth, lol.

Welcome!! I'd forgotten about cauliflower pizza crust, we loved it! Thanks for the reminder and best of luck to you.
