  • memo to self: Never weigh in the day after splurge!!!! Yuckers!
  • @Flybeetle It's only been 11 days I've been on OMAD, so I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm. My personal history shows that after 45 days I tend to drift away from whatever diet modification I'm trying. Check with me mid-February, and then let's talk about the work I've been putting in . . . ;) “Do. Or do not. There is no…
  • I'm the noob here, but what excites me about this method is that is seems to me to easily be a lifestyle, not a diet. I wanted to find something that I could do for the rest of my life, and this seems to be it. Somewhere I saw someone (Joe?) mention that an easy way to do maintenance was simply to add more splurge days.…
  • @Flybeetle Yes I did, yesterday, and I agree it helped . . . but then again it was my first splurge day soooooo . . . . Incidentally, my first splurge day was both wonderful and not. I found the cravings came rushing back, and spent my afternoon watching football and snacking. Felt like a slob by the end of the day. But…
  • Awesome tip @Anneli_F !!! You as well @blambo61 !!! We have some coconut oil here, since my (grown) kids dabble in paleo.

  • Sorry folks, my noob mistake. I meant to post this in an OMAD group discussion thread, not general weight loss, but thank you very much for your replies! All of this helps. Here is the group: community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/20634-omad-revolution
  • I've lost 8 lbs in my first week. This is amazing.
  • Awesome! Actually it's pretty easy already. I just have to go do something else when they bring in food or start heating up lunches. But I was in a 3 hour meeting this afternoon with cookies in the room and it didn't bother me a bit. I love the way all of y'all are so supportive!
  • Thank you both. It's actually been much easier than I thought this would have been. Anxious to see what the scale shows this weekend, and if I can make this past the 45 day mark (my previous record for these sort of things). I've been looking for something that can be a lifestyle, not a diet, and so far this looks like it…
  • First day back at work yesterday was surprisingly bearable. Had a good day. Today I had to disappear for a while when lunches were brought in, I don't think I'm quite ready to be around that sort of thing. Fortunately my workplace has a gym and I spent 30 mins on the elliptical at a moderate pace. This afternoon was a bit…
  • Hi, this is John, 237 lbs, 5 ft 9 in. I'm 55 years old, and have steadily gained weight all my life since high school. I've tried several things over the years, sugar busters, calorie counting, multiple small meals, and have had success while I was in the 'discipline', but I've never stayed with something longer than 45…
