Thanks Britt! I haven't owned cowboy boots since the 80s... Ha!

I hear ya, I am up close to 10 pounds or so from my lowest weight (159 - which wasn't even a maintenance weight for me - though I would have considered it a top of the range weight for maintenance with goal being about 9 pounds below that). So basically I've gained while in supposed weight LOSS mode! Ugh. This is what my…

Thanks!!

Yeah, it's gonna take a while - but I guess it took 2+ weeks to put on, so I shouldn't expect it to leave much quicker than that! Stayed the same yesterday, but am down a little today:
-
Thanks guys! Pretty sure I'm going to start a new trend... :)

Welcome! Social engagements are the hardest for me for sure. Sometimes I find it super easy and sometimes just majorly impossible! I think when I have planned it out in my head before hand, like "I'm just going to have sparkling water for lunch and not eat until dinner", and consciously think about it, I have a much easier…

49 lbs is so awesome - congratulations!
-
I have tried to make that deal with myself before - if I eat lunch, I just won't have dinner. Yeah right - that never happens!
-
You are killing it Britt! So happy for you...
-
Wow, everybody is doing so well!!

Here is a picture from the conference (there were only 3 of us from my company this time as it was not in the USA). I have no idea what is going on with my face... I don't seem to be able to smile properly in pictures any more! Also, I'm pretty sure cowboy boots are a thing now, at least that's my story. Plus they are…

Well, I'm back! We had an awesome time in Europe, which is clearly and depressingly reflected in my giant weight gain! I did pretty well until about the 5 day in Germany at my work conference and then once it was holiday time, I really didn't do much fasting. I didn't eat on the flights back at least, though I did indulge…

I know! It's definitely going to move further away over the next two weeks, but if I could get there by Sept, that would be awesome. I'm ready to relax and do the weekday OMAD/weekend 2MAD thing again. I'm pretty sure I can maintain easily on that routine and I don't have a problem sticking to it. I just can't lose on it…

Thanks! The only issue I see is the wine in Paris... There is nothing better than sitting in a cafe and watching the people go by with a nice glass of wine. Sparkling water just doesn't hold the same appeal!
-
I'm super happy you came back too! :) I like the idea of not obsessing... I was in a very non-obsessive space for a few months (obviously I also wasn't losing weight..) but I really liked it. I am hoping that after another 8-10 lbs lost (putting me in the low 150s) I will be happy with my weight and just see where I go…
-
Sounds like a perfect plan!
-
Not a train wreck in any way, shape or form!! You are doing awesome! <3
-
Hahaha, yeah I'm not sure why I still sometimes have that one (or two) too many... I will try to get back on OMAD this week. Unfortunately we're going away for just over two weeks - leaving tomorrow night. I've got a week's work in Germany and then Darcy and I are going to Amsterdam and Paris. I will do my best to do OMAD…

Phew! Just sneaked back into the 150s today! I do find it interesting that my highest weigh-in was on Monday - after I was already back on track for a day. Not that the scale means much in these quick-gain scenarios and it was clearly mostly water bloat from the crap food I ate...
-
Awesome results!
-
Being the "best shape" you've been in since losing weight is awesome! Definitely not all about the number on the scale.. :)
-
One pound is pretty sweet!
-
Happy to see you back and that you survived finals!
-
Thanks all! I made it to the 150s but then jumped right back out of them over the weekend. I drank too much on Friday night (WHY????!!!) and then due to hangover ate several meals on Saturday and went out again on Saturday night and ate garbage and drank vodka with fat coke (again WHY???!!!). I haven't done anything so…
-
OMG indeed!! Great job... :)
-
Thanks Bob! Still holding just under 160. We went out for dinner last night and I had a big dinner - chips (fries) and veggies in butter and a big vegetarian sandwich. Then we went out for ice cream and I had two big scoops (I usually only have one, not sure why I got two!).
-
Yay! Two days in a row now, I've weighed in under 160. Not that I'm far enough away from 160 to trust my body not to jump up there again! :) I have a feeling that Operation Muffin-Topless Jeans isn't going to be a success in time for my trip (I leave next Wednesday). I tried my jeans on today and the muffin top issue is…

Welcome back!

Maintaining in the face of stress is a win, I figure!

When you say "intermittent fasting" are you talking about some longer fasts or just a different window than OMAD?
