Good job!

This was a sweet share! Thanks!

Ladies and gentleman, we have a new Onederland resident! Your giftbag and resident card are on their way!

A hearty welcome, Ryback! Please start your own progress thread and others will surely jump in on the fun! I will reply to your email at some point within a day or so.

Welcome, Katie!

I think MFP adjusts it for your body weight, so it may be less than posted on a treadmill, which are the more general numbers.

Yes. You are now at the point where you can start experimenting / pushing your body. Play with the calories a bit and gradually become more active in a way that suits your lifestyle. :-)

Brenda, I want to use your pics in a video (if you don't mind, of course). And for anyone who hits their goal/wants me to, I'll shout you out on the channel!

Yep, the waters are nice in Onederland! :p

Yes, this... ^

Actually, it was going GREAT. Just decided to drop back since I don't want to get husky and all. I hit 217 very briefly, and I could keep going. But there's always that "not so lean" element to putting on muscle that isn't right for me. I got nothing to prove. I don't like to look like that anyway. I still have the nice…

I had a wrap today...we call them beef & bean burritos!

Updated.

It's normal to vary BMs. And yes, depending on how low you start out calorie-wise, some hunger can linger. It will continue to get better.

I do that...go off and on between cardio and strength training. Such is the sum of the healthy life, though, if you think about it.

Well, don't worry too much. It's unlikely you need to force yourself to drink. They are best used as meal replacements, and of course, for general hydration. No need to worry too much. My rule is, for every soda, coffee or tea consumed, I have to have that much water to go with no matter what.

Very classy meals you have! Don't worry; you will continue to ride along downward and will enjoy the control you now are able to wield.

Hey, Brenda703! I remember you from back aways when you first added me. Welcome back on the OMAD train!

Hi, Ali. Welcome!

Yes, you can gain in a deficit. But it won't look the same since you are still losing water / fat. So here is the diet for it: 6 eggs per day (fried and lightly cooked) A good serving of beans or peas A peanut butter sandwich A good portion of meat or poultry. A small block of cheese. And a tablespoon of coconut oil (to…

Brenda is "DA BOMB!"

Welcome, Sarah!

It's fine as long as it doesn't threaten to rob you of your sense of control. And a splurge can be one larger meal (that's usually how I do them).

Welcome, Tracey! What Brenda said ^

Wow!!!

Large Bowl of black beans and 2 apples for two days = problem solved!

Its actually quite fun, but it has to be done in cycles since some fat gain is inevitable.

I have dropped back into strict OMAD for the time being. I will resume the bulk probably in about 2 to 4 months.

Put your body in a relaxed state and you will see better losses.

What in the world are you not enthused about? You are going FAB by all standards!!
