You sound like my twin (except I'm 49 and my knees are fine!). I haven't found any answers yet either but I'm hoping that now the nights are longer I'll feel motivated to do more in the evening - if I'm active I'll snack less is the plan but whilst I think it - I don't necessarily do it. The joys of being a woman!

5 - wow - yum. Sounds like a fun splurge :)

I like your graph with the analysis - did you write this or was it some sort of download?

Enjoy - especially the margaritas. Well done on your losses - inspiring to see your results. Id be very happy with that after 14 weeks :)

Good steady loss - well done :)

This has been really helpful as I was wondering if the extended fasts were the norm. I'm happy with my one meal a day plus I normally have a snack or two in the evening. I'm not really counting calories at the moment - if I do that I feel like I'm dieting and therefore failing if i go over. All good though - I feel so much…

those bites with the coconut flakes look delicious and not too sweet looking at the ingredients - yum:)

Thanks ladies :)

Well, I've finished my first week - I did 4 days Omad and 3 days (sat/sun/mon) where I missed breakfast but ate lunch and dinner. I'm really pleased with the result as I snacked a bit in the evening as well. I expect I'll have to get stricter as I progress but definitely pleased so far to be 3.4lbs down in one week :) :)…

Hi @minigrrl - thanks for the welcome. Not quite 100% on it this week but still is making a difference which is quite a relief having lost nothing all year,

Hi @blambo61 - thanks for that - makes a lot of sense :smile:

Thanks :) @jcinv

Hi @wsandy8512 - thanks for this. Energy is definitely a benefit I'll take. I've been reading your journal - you've done so well :smile:

Hi @newmeadow - thanks for this. I've done some research this morning and see what you're saying. Will reduce down to once a day and build from there.

Low carb cauliflower pizza - sounds interesting as I love pizza (not so fussed about the base but love the combo of topping flavours) - I'll have to google the recipe for that and give it a go :)

Hi Janey - thanks. Funnily enough I've had more energy today than I've felt for a while so I think I'm starting to feel the benefits. I agree with your thoughts on not thinking about what to eat all the time - i find it less stressful ( does that sound odd?) as i was always beating myself up during the day about what id…

I downloaded an app called Fastrac where you can start and stop a fast - it logs how long you've fasted for in hours - saves keeping a spreadsheet plus quite encouraging to see the hours increase.

Thanks. I've just bought some so will give it a go.

Hi - love your thread and food pics :smile: Can you tell me how much Apple Cider Vinegar you have each day please? Also is there a reason for the grapefruit juice with it - does it just make it easier to drink or does it give a particular benefit?

Hi all, My name is Ali from England – I’m 48 and I’ve been intermittently fasting for the last couple of weeks and recently came across this group. I’m easing myself into OMAD with the hope I’ll complete my first one today. I’m completely inspired by all of your progress and fasting ability and see how much sense it makes.…

Hi - feel free to add me - I have at least 50 to lose and haven't made much progress lately - back on it over the last few days though and feeling positive.

Please add me 47 with 4stone to lose. Need all the help I can get
