  • Ha! I love those little good n plenty candies too. And Mike and Ike’s. And sour patch kids....Mmm. I think your dinner pictures have inspired me. This is embarrassing but I seem to always revert back to convenience dinners and then we’ll have the same things over and over for awhile. I also always have a hard time planning…
  • That’s wonderful that your beach trip was so nice! I love the beach so much. I grew up in Florida and it still feels like home when I’m down there.
  • Oh man. I did perfect today but made Cajun chicken pasta for dinner and....ugh. I ate way too much. It was yummy though.
  • My weight normally goes up a little on the weekends because we eat out normally but this morning was 197.4 so that little .2 is making me happy. I’ve done pretty good the last two days.
  • You are doing so good! Look at your weight just going down, down, down. Looks like a 2 lb total loss for the week. Great job!
  • As long as you get back to it, you’ll be ok!
  • I agree that the lumen thing might be stressing you out. I’m sure it’s probably helpful in some ways but maybe you could take a little break from it.
  • Slept a bit better last night. Probably because I didn’t have work today. I get stressed if I wake up too early and know I have to be up for work in a couple hours. Like if I wake at 4:30 I’ll think “hurry and go back to sleep because you’ve only got 2 hours left to sleep” and then I end up not being able to go back to…
  • Thank you!! It’s good to be here. Hopefully I can stay. :)
  • I honestly wish masks were mandatory here in our town/state. I live in a very small town and we’ve had a hot spot of cases within the last few weeks. We’ve had 180 cases just in our tiny, rural county. Over 40,000 cases in our state. I’m working on getting us more masks too but I’m not good on the sewing machine. My aunt…
  • Be kind to yourself. You’ll get there.
  • I think it can sometimes be good to mix things up diet wise... I’ve just personally always shied away from any kind of strict diet plan. I don’t want to cut anything out completely because I know it won’t work for me. I’m also easily overwhelmed sometimes and I need my “diet” to be simple and not something that I’m going…
  • I’m at 198.0 this morning. :) Super sleepy today. I haven’t been sleeping well. I’m really glad it’s my last day at work for the week. I feel like I could just lay my head down right now and nap. I honestly wish I would have cheated today and brought lunch to work. I’m being trained for a new position and not only I’m a…
  • I’m really hungry and that looks delicious! I’ve honestly never tried any sort of diet except CICO and now OMAD (which is still just another form of CICO for me).
  • Yes, we are wearing masks here in Missouri too. It’s not mandatory (and probably won’t be here no matter how bad it gets) but lots of stores and businesses are requiring it. We have several fabric ones and I’m in the process of getting some more made for my husband and kids.
  • Good luck! I’ve been pleasantly surprised that I don’t find OMADing on the weekends to be that challenging. I really thought I would because in previous years we’ve always taken weekends off from dieting.
  • I’m in awe of your steps.
  • They are so cute! I just can’t get over them.
  • I love your succulents! My husband just put together a little succulent arrangement for me a few weeks ago and I love them. I’m a house plant addict!
  • I can relate so much to how you’re feeling. I go through that a lot where I just feel exhausted from planning meals and cooking them. Something that helps a little is that I’ve been explaining to my husband about how overwhelming it is for me and we’ve been finding time on the weekends to sit down together and plan meals.…
  • I weighed myself yesterday and it was back up to 200.6 and this morning all the way up to 202! Yikes. But really, I’m not that upset because I started my period yesterday so I feel like that’s probably part of it. I also barely drank water yesterday just because I couldn’t stomach it for some reason. I might try not to…
  • Well today ended up being a major cheat day but I’m fine with it. I don’t even want to call it a cheat day. It was a fun day and I loved every second of it. We took the kids to the river and had a picnic (so I had lunch) and then swam and hung out for 4 hours. Left the river and picked up ice cream. Then grabbed burrito…
  • That’s a really good way to look at things. I do sometimes get stuck on the amount I have to lose and think it feels impossible. But you’re right, time flies! I am WEAK! Haha. I weighed myself today. I was supposed to wait until Monday morning. Oh well. Maybe I’ll cut back to weighing every few days for awhile. 198.8!!! :)
  • I have an extra LONG meeting today. I brought a 160 calorie protein shake but I'm not sure if I'll actually drink it. I'm just a little worried because I usually get really irritable and sleepy around 4-4:30 pm (I haven't experienced the whole "extra energy" thing from OMAD). Usually I'm already home by that time so it's…
  • I mostly plan because I’m only eating one meal a day and I have a family to cook for. So I buy groceries and plan out dinners. But there are also a couple nights a week, usually weekends, when we just wing it and pick up something from a restaurant.
  • I really might try the Splenda. We were Mormon until last year when we left the church and members aren't allowed to drink coffee or tea (or alcohol). So we left the church and that's when I tried coffee. My husband even bought me one of those coffee makers that uses the little cups. But now it's collecting dust because I…
  • Yeah, I think it is starting to mess with my head a little. I haven’t been sleeping very good because I’m thinking about what the scale will say the next morning. Then I wake up too early and lay in bed waiting for it to time to get up and weigh myself. I never used to be this obsessed with the scale even when I would…
  • Fingers crossed that you can get your water in today! I drink a lot more water when I'm at work too. At home it's easier for me to forget.
  • Those really are some adorable kittens. Almost makes me want another...but not quite since we already have 3. :D
