You’re a star, JP!

Thank you thank you thank you everyone! You’re awesome. It was undoubtedly a downer but thanks to your encouragement I stayed the course and didn’t go down the “this is pointless” road. My mind is changing in so many ways over the last six weeks that this return to the old attitude took me by surprise, I guess. And I…

Congratulations and welcome, Patty!

Thanks for speaking sense to my brain, Tracey! It really REALLY wanted to throw in the towel. (((HUG)))

Well, bloody hell. Guess what happened to me this morning? MY TAPE MEASURE BROKE. So I had to get a new one and my measurements are completely different! It shouldn’t make a difference to me - as you can see, there’s definitely a downward trend there, and I’ve definitely made progress between the first day and six weeks…

Awesome, Tracey! When you’re ready to try it out, the recipe I used is here: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/tasty.co/amp/recipe/peruvian-lomo-saltado?client=safari

Helloooo everyone! All good around here! Yesterday was another easy fast day - most of them are - and I met up with a group of friends for dinner. We went out for Korean. I had a nice bowl of bibimbap and we also shared some Korean friend chicken. We were in a festive mood (hadn’t seen each other in a little while) and I…

Awesome! Really, really great and so good to hear that basic OMAD is the best thing from the OMAD veterans, you know? You’ve been there, had results, tried something else, and back to OMAD. It really seals the evidence that it works and it’s sustainable.
-
That’s awesome! Absolutely take it and keep running! Love the spreadsheet, by the way. Even a simple one is great for motivation, I reckon.

What an awesome thing to do for your nephews! Education is truly the best gift - its effect is felt for generations. Glad you’ve some better days. This corona virus is scary but it doesn’t pay to panic. Over here in Australia we’ve had some people say and do some horrifically racist things over it. Despite all the…

Thanks, gals! I really appreciate all your words - they’re so motivating, as are your own individual journeys. It’s funny how this time around I’m not feeling particularly strong about this, or that I’m sticking to something. It just... IS. I have no idea what switch got flipped in my brain, but mostly it’s just a feeling…

THERE’S A SPREADSHEET? Oh, man - I am so impressed right now. 😄
-
🥶 LOL and isn’t it good for the metabolism as well? 😄
-
Ohhh... (((HUGS))) Sorry you had a crappy day. Like you say: they happen and that’s OK, and I think that’s the right attitude. Back on that horse and giddy up!
-
LiLee hon, this is a normal way to feel, but you know, it is SO worth getting past it. Exercise is so, so, SO good for you, and when you find something you love it's so much fun! I was back on my way to getting fit again with the Big Fit Girl program (which is AMAZING) when I sustained an injury and had to stop. I'm losing…

Welcome! That's a stellar result so far so congratulations! Here are some tips and tricks that have worked for me: - Daily checking in to this group for accountability and motivation. Helping support others also keeps me honest. - Changing mindset: this isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. That means that there's no falling off…
-
Thank you! I am definitely feeling it, even if I'm not seeing it yet, but I'm trusting the process. Just like one day I woke up and went, "JEEZ LOUISE HOW DID I GET THIS BIG?" I'm sure that one day I'll wake up and go, "Jeez Louise - I HAVE lost weight!" :D
-
Oh, bloody hell. You poor thing! Agreed - Brenda the Bubble Girl, please take care of yourself!
-
HAHAHAAAA!!! Oh my goodness, that's fantastic. It's made my day! Huge (((HUGS))) and lots of girly (((GIGGLES))) as well! :D
-
So funny - I’d never heard of it, but as soon as I shared it on social media, a whole bunch of people spoke up saying, “Oh yeah, we have that when we go out, we love it, (etc.)”. So many people heard of it except me! I’m sure you’ll be the same. I actually don’t know! I’ve been overweight so long that I really don’t have a…

Thanks, everyone! I’m really pleased. Put on one of my favourite dresses yesterday, one with fabric that has absolutely zero “give”. DH helped me zip it up like he always does and goes, “Well, that was easier!” And I looked down and myself and saw that it’s sitting so much better and was actually a little loose! So yeah -…
-
Amazing pic - so motivational! And agreed: you’re doing great. Gotta live your life and food is a huge part of family and friends. Yes! I’m about 30 minutes from Dandy market. Not just that, but up until a month ago I was actually working in Dandenong, and it was a common thing for us to go to the market on a Tuesday or…
-
You’re rockin it! And that meal looks fab.
-
That’s exactly it: everyBODY is different!
-
WOOT! Way to go! And if you’re toning, remember the pic Jadepearl posted last week. 😁
-
Your food looks awesome and your gorgeous nephew! Ah! I love baby spam. 😁 Sounds like a good plan you’ve got going. Keep it up!
-
Sooo much amazing looking food! I could just dive into any of that. ALL of that! 😄 Size 6 jeans says such a lot. It’s incredible! And so important of your DH says you’re looking hot and sexy. I’d listen to him if I were you - sounds like a clever man. 😉
-
Thanks, @volgirl1322 ! I’m really happy with how it’s going. It’s only been five weeks and it’s not just about the weight loss - I feel like my entire life has changed. So last night’s meal, courtesy of a Peruvian colleague. It’s called “lomo saltado” and it’s this weird but wonderful mixture of steak and fries (oven…

Well... here are my losses for the week. I actually GAINED around my waist while losing everywhere else (a full inch off my hips! HUZZAH!) and I know what it is: BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT. AF is still not here, and I’m also oh-so-lucky to have a type of IBS that presents as bloat. Although many people say their IBS got…

Hi everyone, good but uneventful weekend here. No issues with OMAD, even though I did a bunch of baking! There was sooo much fruit to use up before it went off that I ended up making three cakes, but we were all pretty controlled and most went into the freezer. And the fasting itself was easy for me. DH had cravings for…
