June 20 35 Days to Bavaria Weight lost as of second five-day check-in: 5.2/10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 5/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 3/12 rides As I noted earlier, I had been on track for a 2.5-3 pound loss at my first five-day checkpoint, and then I overdid on salted caramel chocolate brownies. Emphasis on the…

Great job! Are you now fully in maintenance?

Good job, Tracey! I've been meaning to ask you: is your chocolate kale shake something you buy already prepared, or do you make it? And is it tasty (or just healthy)?

June 18 36 Days to Bavaria Weight lost as of first five-day check-in: 1.5/10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 4/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 3/12 rides

We have almost the same time frame and weight goal! I will be rooting for you.

June 17 38 Days to Bavaria Weight lost as of first five-day check-in: 1.5/10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 3/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides I rode indoors yesterday, and I'm contemplating an outdoor ride this morning since I will be traveling two days this week and need to get in some pedal time before then.…

June 16 39 Days to Bavaria Weight lost as of first five-day check-in: 1.5/10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides Nothing to report today. I met my ride goals for the week, so I haven't decided if I'll do another indoor or outdoor ride today. Next five-day check-in is Thursday.

@jadepearl, I can empathize. I have a small waist in comparison to my hips, so if I buy a skirt or jeans to fit my waist, then it is uncomfortable or unflattering in the hips. Or, if I buy a skirt or jeans to fit my hips, then the waistband is loose and floppy and also unflattering. A-line skirts work, but so far I haven't…

June 15 Me: 10 The B: 5 DBF: 0 Nice job, @conH12 and @57discovery. Wish I could say the same; I was doing fairly well this month but overindulgence Friday night turned into binge territory last night. @ceiswyn, I have experienced the same thing with colleagues, friends, or family specifically buying treats they know I…

"Right now I'm holding water and glycogen like it's my job..." Love this! And of course we excel at work, don't we? But seriously, congrats on entering maintenance.

June 15 40 Days to Bavaria Weight lost: 1.5/10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides So....1.5 pounds. Not the result I was seeking on my first weigh in, but entirely my fault. I was on track for that initial, uplifting water weight loss of 2 1/2, 3 pounds....and then, although I did…

June 14 41 Days to Bavaria Weight loss goal: 10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 1/12 rides No rides yesterday, but nothing but black coffee and water until a one-plate (albeit a full one) dinner. No additional beverages. So far, so good. I'd forgotten how relievingly simple OMAD can be.

June 13 Me: 9 The B: 4 DBF: 5 Hope you’re feeling better, @Pretty_Little_Nobody. And welcome to the group, @conH12.

Is it on a CD?

Four pounds! Nice job, Tracey.

I'll be weighing in this weekend, also -- keeping a good thought for us both!

I love your scale photos. Talk about keeping one honest!

June 13 42 Days to Bavaria Weight loss goal: 10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 2/12 rides Outdoor bike ride goal: 1/12 rides I had a good OMAD day yesterday. I had two beverages at dinner again, but in this case, the beverages were good old H20. And I went for a morning outdoor ride after all. It was indeed hot, but I took…

Way to go, Steph!

I know what you mean about chocolate....I had a bad habit in the last few months of, post-dinner, going into the den to read or work, and taking a bag of peanut butter M and Ms with me. And, since the larger bags of chocolate tend to taste fresher than the single servings, I would buy the "sharing size" of M and Ms.…

Thanks, @jadepearl! Back at you. June 12 43 Days to Bavaria Weight loss goal: 10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 12 rides Indoor rides to date: 2 Outdoor bike ride goal: 12 rides I had another good day of OMAD yesterday. Nothing but black coffee and water until dinner. Only one plate, but I had one more glass of beverage…

Thanks, Steph! You have an amazing story, by the way. Your consistency and your losses over the last couple of years are incredible -- it's an inspiration.

June 11 44 Days to Bavaria Weight loss goal: 10 pounds Indoor bike ride goal: 12 rides Indoor rides to date: 1 Outdoor bike ride goal: 12 rides I had a good first day on OMAD, including a one-hour indoor bike ride. I'm sipping cinnamon- and turmeric-infused black coffee again this morning. I'm already feeling better just…

Thanks, Joe! You know, sticking to OMAD made maintenance easy; I practically had to work at gaining weight. (But work at it I did!) Without some minimal intermittent fasting, I could have regained everything in the last year and a half. I'm glad it was only ten pounds, and it feels good to be back. Hope you're well, also.

It's from VitaCup, called Genius Blend because it also includes MCT oil. I don't know how much MCT oil it actually includes, however, since each cup has only five calories. I like it not because I believe it is making me a genius (drat, that!), but because it is one of the few coffees I've ever tried that I can enjoy…

June 9 Me: 5 The B: 4 DBF: 1 Not a great month so far.
