I've never tried the coconut oil. I might some day, but every time I get a little hungry, I remember something I've heard before, that most the time you are actually thirsty. So I just start chugging water and that usually always works.

Welcome Erin!

Thank you!

Only problem is, if I get a headache or I'm out sick or I just don't feel good for some reason, they want to blame the diet.

I felt the same way. All I could do was think of what I was going to get for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When people talk about how bad it is to eat one meal a day, I say okay, how bad is it to be obese and have high blood pressure and be pre-diabetic?

Oh my gosh, I am hungry today. I had a cheat day on Monday. Well, I actually started around Monday, midnight (shouldn't have) and went all day Monday. Had lunch, dinner and popcorn in the evening, and ice cream. I went nuts. Then, I wasn't feeling well yesterday so I got out of routine, did not have my usual coffee. Did…

I found this video of Joe's to be very helpful of what to expect. Sorry if you've already seen it. It's what to expect during each phase or every few weeks. https://youtu.be/fmbctWCacXg

Last year when I weighed my heaviest (250 lbs). I just couldn't look at the scale every day. It was tough to look at it at all. I was so depressed and discouraged at the slightest things. If I had seen the slightest gain I probably would have given up the diet. After seeing my losses after a week and then another week, I…

I have a friend that had gastric bypass surgery and she had a lot of regrets. She was glad she lost weight, but it was not what she expected. She thought it was going to be easy. She thought it was just kind of just a "magical cure" to her weight problem. She didn't realize she was still going to have to put in work. She…

By the way, 11/12 is right around my goal weight!

Well, last year when I was losing weight I bought some size 16 jeans that were on sale to wear when I lost enough weight and I have been wearing them for a while. I was so excited when I lost enough weight about 2 months ago to finally wear them. I'm almost in a size 14 now. Well, I just saw another sale so I decided to…

I would like to get in the 100 club! It seems like a stretch but I really want it! I can do it! I'm going to get under 200 pounds in February!!!!!

You're doing so great!!!

I met my January goal! Week of 1/26 I gained a half pound, but I lost 1.5 by 1/31 so I averaged it out. I lost a total of 5.5 pounds for January!!! (as of today)

Hi Brittany. I started out much like you. Tried so many diets. Never could stick to anything and I was also a social eater, boredom eater, and emotional eater. Gained so much weight over time. I obsessed over what my next meal would be. Don't know if you did that, but I did. But when I discovered OMAD, it changed my life.…

You are welcome. I think it did help with both of my problems and I did drop 2.5 lbs after my body cooperated so we will see where I am at on the scale when I do my weekly weigh in on Thursday. Should be a good one. :)

No. Actual Magnesium pills. But I bet there must be Magnesium in milk of magnesia and that's probably how it got its name.

@leveejohn I used the Magnesium and my heartburn is better. I'm thinking that helped. Could have just gotten better. Could have even been the ACV. But I did read that Magnesium can help with acid reflux.

Something interesting I was just reading...I was looking up the benefits of taking Magnesium, because well, I'm a little constipated (TMI, sorry). But, it says that magnesium does help with that, but it also says that magnesium is a common type of medicine used to treat acid reflux. Maybe I'm getting heartburn and the…

I eat whatever I want. Sometimes I'll have a splurge day if it's just been a little bit since I've had one (maybe a couple weeks), and usually it ends up being when someone invites me to lunch or a get together. And I'll have lunch and dinner that day. My stomach has shrunk so much it's hard to eat dinner after having…

I have just started using ACV in the evenings. I will see if that helps. Thank you! :)

I don't mind at all. When I was doing OMAD last year I had wished I would have kept track so I'm glad I'm keeping track this year. I like being able to keep an eye on my progress and I like being able to see if I don't lose during a certain time of the month for a certain female reason. I like being able to see those…

Hi everyone. Just wanted to report that I am getting heartburn lately. Even before eating. Don't know what's up with that. I did get it the other day after my coffee, so it might have been from the coffee. Then the other day I had it in the morning. Felt like it was from dinner the night before or something ( I did eat…

Great job!

Thank you!!! :)
