Thanks. I hope that's what this is. It's not even like it's that bad, I'm just so impatient. If I look at the big picture I can see that I'm being silly. Exactly one week ago I was 204.4 and this morning was 201.8 so that's pretty good. It's just the last few days that things have stalled. Sometimes I wonder if I should…

I’m feeling super frustrated. Today the weight was 201.8 again. I really thought that I’d see 199 this week. Maybe I’m just at the point already were weight loss slows down? It seems early for that since I haven’t even been doing OMAD for a whole month and I’m still obese. :( And I sort of feel like I jinxed myself because…

Anyone can add me. :)

Right now my weight is 202 lbs so my mini goal is to get to 199. It kind of SUCKS to have that goal since I was trying to lose weight 10 years ago when I was 165 lbs...but it is what it is.

I decided to change my profile pic and username so don't be alarmed! :D

I'm getting real annoyed with my weight right now. Lol. Sunday- 202.0 Monday- 203.0 Tuesday- 201.8 Wednesday- 202.0 Like, come off already! Ugh. I actually had a lower calorie dinner last night too. Not intentionally but it was low enough to put me well under my daily calorie goal. I think my body knows how much I want to…

This is very helpful! And yes, I’m the exact same way. Once I start eating, it’s hard to stop. Like when I talked about eating the cheez it crackers. That was the day I had the soup for lunch because I wasn’t feeling well and then an hour or so later I found myself sitting on the couch eating the crackers and I wasn’t even…

You're so close!! Great job!

Good luck! That is super interesting about the metabolism tracker device.

Great job! Extended fasting longer than 24 hours seems WILD to me...but so did OMAD at first. I'm still not convinced that I could ever go over 24 but I admire those who can!

KITTENS! That's super exciting. We have one senior cat (17) and then last year me and the kids talked my husband into adopting a kitten from PetSmart. About 2 weeks later I was coming home from the store and found a tiny kitten in the middle of a busy intersection. So now we have 3! :D

How's your husband now? That would have scared me to death. I get really scared and paranoid when my husband doesn't feel well. Your food pics look amazing...which probably means I should avoid this thread. :D

I drink water all day. Sometimes I add the zero calorie flavors to it (just when I'm at work). I also normally have a small Gatorade Zero for "lunch".

I did fine yesterday after my initial struggle. Stuck to OMAD and felt pretty good about it. :) I just had a BIG temptation today. I'm at work and a drug rep came in and brought us all boxed lunches from a deli. AHHHHHHH. This is my nightmare. :D It's usually so easy for me at work because I just shut my door and drink my…

I ended up having a little bit of a cheat day yesterday. It’s weird to call it a “cheat day” since all I had besides dinner was some low calorie soup for lunch and a 140 calorie bag of cheez its. I mowed the grass in the heat and felt really awful afterwards with a pounding headache. My husband thought that eating might…

I’m at 202 lbs this morning. It’s bittersweet to think that I’ll probably be under 200 in the next few days. Obviously I’ll be happy but it also makes me angry with myself that I even went over 200 to begin with. Back when I first joined MFP I was hanging out around 165-175 and trying to lose weight. What happened?? I…

Aww. I have been there so many times! You CAN do this!

I’m feeling better. Since I’ve been back to a more normal schedule, the weight is coming off quicker. Actually faster than normal so that makes me think that maybe I was retaining water or something when we first got back from our trip. The scale showed that I had only lost 1 lb in 10 days after doing mostly OMAD and…

First full day home. Sad to be back to the stresses of normal life. I weighed myself this morning after going 10 without looking at the scale and was extremely disappointed to see that I’ve only lost a little over a pound. I really expected a bigger loss after sticking to OMAD for 9 of those 10 days and hiking over 9 miles…

Day 2 we did decide to go ahead and eat lunch so I didn’t do OMAD. I just really wanted us to enjoy ourselves because we rarely ever get time away from the kids. We did a little over 6 miles of hiking yesterday though so I’m choosing to say I earned it. We also went easier on dinner to make up for it. Today we came home…

Day 1 of our anniversary trip is done and I actually stuck to OMAD! I wasn’t planning to but I’m glad I did. I’m not sure I’d say I stuck to my “diet” because my one meal was a splurge. Haha. Appetizer, entree, and then ice cream. But it’s our anniversary and we wanted to have some fun. Tomorrow night will probably be…

I think it’s because I’m getting better at distracting myself and not thinking about food during the day...but then I have him following me around all weekend reminding me that I haven’t eaten. And because I love him so it upsets me to hear that he’s miserable. It almost tempts me to want to break my fast just so he’ll eat…

So far today has been super easy. I’m feeling good and not too hungry at all. I mean, I’m definitely looking forward to dinner time but I’m not miserable. I have found something that is tough for me. My husband! He’s trying to lose weight too. He’s not doing OMAD but he’s only having a low calorie protein shake for lunch.…

I hate typing this but in the spirit of accountability...I didn’t do great today. I absentmindedly ate a couple of grapes with the kids without thinking and that put me on a downhill spiral. I ended up eating some cheese and then a buttered bagel. The bagel was what made me feel really bad because it was more than I…

We ate dinner outside yesterday. The kids thought it was fun because we had everything “on a stick”. We had skewers of steak, skewers of veggies, and skewers of fruit. Then fudge pops for dessert. It was all very yummy. Tomorrow is mine and my husband’s wedding anniversary! 17 years. :) We are leaving Monday on a little 3…

Exactly!

Thank you! I’m not a breakfast person either but I’ve always thought that skipping lunch would be IMPOSSIBLE. It really hasn’t been nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

Thank you! The restriction thing is where I’ve always failed. Not just because of certain foods but also because I love to eat until I feel full. When I was trying to cut my portions way back, I just felt so unsatisfied and it always made me binge eat after a week or two. It sounds strange to say that it’s easier to not…

So far day 14 is going just fine. I had my normal hunger when I first woke up and a little bit around 12pm but now I'm just at work and bored. I'm actually having my first big test. I used to binge eat (usually fast food) when I was stressed or sad. Well, I'm extremely stressed out right now. I had my very first car…

Thanks! I definitely think I can stick to it. I just need to learn some patience. I feel like every morning I wake up and get dressed and think "Are my pants looser yet?" Haha.
