Happy weekend, everyone! Yesterday's OMAD meal was a lentil stew (potatoes, carrots, onions, and brown lentils) with homemade cornbread and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. I also had two FiberOne bars (one brownie and one lemon bar) as desserts. Sorry not pictured. It's going to be a fairly relaxing weekend for me. :)…

Yay for a pound lost! I like the idea of your plan and am similarly thinking that my single feast day will now feature a 16:8 eating window. :)

1 pound after three full eating days is a mega victory. :) Congrats and keep it up!

Woo hoo, you're doing great, Sammy!

Good luck this week, Tracey! You've got this. :)

Thanks, @Brendalea69 ! I'm hoping that'll switch things up and result in a loss, too. :)

Glad the waters are a bit calmer. <3

Haha, you all are too much fun. :D Yesterday was a good day! As noted, I opted to have it be a feast day, so I could participate in work-related celebrations. I didn't go nuts, though, and kept my snacking to fruit and about 200 kcal of pretzels (it was hard to pass on the cookies and ice cream, let me tell ya). When I got…

I really admire your grit and determination, Tracey. You're always so good about reflecting on your week and figuring out how you want to move forward to either continue towards positive trends or move away from negative trends. I'm sure that a lot of what you're seeing is water, so hopefully next week will be on the lower…

Glad to hear the meds are helping! :)

LOL, I wish it was Saturday. :D

So glad to hear that you didn't pass out! How are you feeling today?

Oh, goodness! I hope you start feeling better. I completely agree with @Brendalea69 about doing whatever is best for your health. Let us know any updates!

@Brendalea69 Mmm, was yours yummy? :) I'm a huge fan of pasta! Yesterday was a busy day, but I followed OMAD like a champ. I had leftover pasta, garlic bread, and salad. No other additions or beverages, as I was a bit tired when I got home and didn't have the energy or stomach for any alcohol. Even though today is not…

Wow, I hope you guys had a good time skiing! My husband and I lived in Colorado for three years while he was doing his M.A., and I just couldn't convince myself to ever actually get on skiis. LOL, I'm such a scaredy cat.

Sending you well-wishes and hugs! I hope that everything will be alright. :(

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate how encouraging and supportive everyone has been. I'm slowly getting better each day, so I'm grateful for that! Yesterday's meal consisted of pasta, garlic bread, a side salad, a FiberOne brownie, and a glass of wine. It's much warmer today, so no snow day, unfortunately. I'm ready for…

Interesting results on your evening weigh-in! I'm looking forward to testing this out, too, just to see how big of a difference there will be for me. If I see consistently that mornings do turn out to be better than evening, then I might have to make the switch! :)

Sounds like a fun time with friends! :) I am a huge fan of fresh pasta (YUM). In spite of my lactose intolerance, I just can't say no to cheese. :p Congrats on hitting 170! Woo hoo! 13 pounds down... you are killin' it!

Yesterday was another good OMAD day. I worked a bit late, so leftovers were the name of my game. Had three slices of the pizza my husband made, plus a side salad, a banana, a FiberOne brownie, and a bottle of beer. It's snowing pretty heavily at the moment, so I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a "snow day". :) Gotta love…

I'm sending you all the good vibes and luck I've got. :)

Your food looks amaaaazing! I'm interested in hearing how things go for you during your week of not fasting. Do keep us posted, chica! <3

I hear you on the struggle of feeling more like you're maintaining than losing. But, we shouldn't get discouraged! :) We've got this!

Good lookin' food, Tracey! I like your idea of 5 pounds being your weight range for now. Hope you had a great weekend!

Nice to see that drop after a weekend of nice noms. :) I love me some pineapple upside down cake.

@sammygold2015 @Brendalea69 Thank you so much, ladies. I can't believe I got this sick, but I'm glad I'm on my way to recovery. :)

Hi, everyone! Thanks for all your advice and thoughts. I didn't mean to be so quiet over the weekend, but I ended up getting another fever and had to go to the ER. Argh! Fortunately, I think everything should be fine now... or at least on its way. As it turns out, I have a very mild case of walking pneumonia, so that would…

I also think that you range is reasonable. I can understand your husband's thoughts, but I also think that it's important for your own sanity to not be too hard on yourself. <3 The more defeated you feel, the harder it'll be to maintain motivation (at least that's how it works for me, haha). You're really doing a wonderful…

It's Friday! Hallelujah! I opted not to weigh myself last night, because I was so exhausted and sick feeling by the time I got home. My fever went back up to 100.2, so I had a bowl of vege and lentil soup with a small side salad, then I went to bed around 8:00 PM. Thankfully, I am finally fever free, but I feel a lot of…

Haha, I could never ignore you! I love it when people ask such thought-provoking questions, because it challenges me to try new things or think about old things in a new way! :)
