Thanks for the encouragement my friends! This morning's weigh in was 181.5 so I am moving in the right direction. I definitely don't plan on giving in. I have been doing low carb/keto (aiming to keep total carbs below 60) which is the best "diet" for me physically (the struggle is real mentally sometimes). I now have to…

How's it going Brenda?

I am glad you opted to stay. We are cheering you on. You are doing good!

Great report Steph!

It has been a bit since my last post and unfortunately the 170's didn't stick and I am back to 184 as of yesterday. This go around seems much much harder, but I am not giving up and will succeed.

I concur with the other ladies, you are one of us whether OMAD or not and we want to continue to share in your journey. Please continue to post. How are the kitties?

I have not had a problem sticking to the new plan so far and I broke into the 170's this morning at 179.4 so I am a happy camper.

Thank you all, I checked all the important dates coming up for the rest of the year and the majority of them fall on eating days (all except my youngest son's birthday) so I think I may stick with the alternate day fasting for a while.

Today’s meal: homemade keto orange chicken, cauliflower fried rice and steamed broccoli.

Good Morning everyone, Here is my Monday report. This morning's weight was 181.0. Below is the spreadsheet for last week. I am proud of the 7-pound loss I was able to maintain so far. Starting this week off at 181, I am hoping to drop into the 170's this week.

Congrats on the pound loss. Consistent losses add up and you will be where you want to be in no time.

I am so happy today. After my refeed yesterday (3 meals), I was only up .3 this morning weighing in at 181.7 pounds. With today being a fast day, I believe I will be able to hold onto the 7 pound loss and continue to move the scale in the downward direction.

This bloat might be the fight before the swoosh. Just hang in there and keep at it, it has to go. I know it is no fun to deal with during the process though.

Between your fasting and water drinking, that 155 goal is in the bag.

So far the week has been great. I drank 138 ounces of water yesterday and 136 ounces the day before. My weight following my 3-day fast was 181.4 which equates to a 7-pound loss from the fast. I am a little behind today, but I will catch up and get my minimum of 100 ounces before I go to bed tonight. I am eating 3 meals…

You have been doing so well. I believe you will have good numbers tomorrow.

Yesterday's numbers.

Ok so I took down an additional 34 ounces of water since my last post which put me over 100 ounces. Getting ready for bed now. Have a blessed nigh all.

I had a headache all day today. I tried adding sea salt to my water but am having a hard time getting it down. I managed to drink 88 ounces of water so far. I want to try to get in 16 more ounces to get over 100 ounces. I did not exercise due to the headache but I plan on getting to bed by 9:30.

OK so today March 1 is weigh-in Day and these last two weeks were NOT GOOD. My weight this morning is 188.7 pounds which is a 3.9 pound GAIN since the 15th. :s :'( :( So what is the plan to nip this in the bud and get back to losing? I will be doing One Meal Every Other Day. Today begins my 3-day fast and after that, I…

Still not getting the water to where it needs to be. I dropped on the exercise once the weekend hit and am still going to bed late. I really need to kick it in gear. I am looking to March to pull it all together. My 3 day fast starts on the first so that is a new start on all fronts. OMAD, Exercise, Water & Sleep.

Steph, I forgot to edit the instructions after changing the ingredients. The original recipe called for 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream. I modified it to 2 cups half and half since it is a combination of milk and cream. I am glad you like it. Your other meals look super good.

Steph, you are right. I have been hit and miss on the water front with today being a miss. I did reach my exercise goals but was a miss on the water today. I hope to do better tomorrow. I have also been going to bed late and need to get to bed earlier. All of these things factor in weight loss. I am back to solid OMAD and…

So I decided to cut my weigh-Ins to twice a month on the 1st and 15th (nod to my military days). Yesterday I weighed 184.8 which was very disappointing. I have been sticking to OMAD strictly since coming off my 3-day fast but had not been doing any exercise. I have recommitted to closing all of my Apple Watch rings getting…
