I welcome the opportunity to hold myself accountable. Thank you for the opportunity!

I avoid the talk altogether. When I sit with friends, not eating, I just say "I'm not hungry right now." I didn't tell my partner for at least a month that I was fasting for days at a time. It's just easier for me to avoid the appearance of giving advice, and to avoid getting unwanted advice.

Welcome back. I fully know how it feels to watch. I just go deep inside myself and think about what good things I'm doing to my body. Seems to work.

Sending good wishes to help you push on through and get to your Oct 21st goal.

I love all the cabbage cookings on your plates. Let's get together and have a cabbage fest!
-
I'm just now catching up with my OMAD friends, and I see your beeyouteeful plate! What a meal!
-
Good to hear that your knee is a little better. I'm brewing some turmeric tea right now for mine.
-
I really admire your successes in running!
-
Aw no, I'm so very sorry about your little kitty. That's tough. Sending hugs and good wishes for you.
-
Very very very nice progress!

@minigrrll Can we talk about turmeric? I have quit taking aspirin for inflammation and pain because it seems to be a stupid idea to continue. I have found that doctors in other counties (Australia for example! Although most certainly not here in the US.) now recommend turmeric. I would like to start making my own pills as…

@blambo61 Knee problems due to arthroscopy in July 2016. I went to Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) - one of 2 best places in the country for knee surgery. I was not a candidate for total knee replacement because I could still walk, but had a torn meniscus (dancing injury) that kept me from running, jumping,…

Woohoo, looking forward to charts!!!
-
Welcome back. May you have many new successes.
-
I find that eating a lot of carbs will make my knees swell and exacerbate my injuries. I am eager to hear how/if you try taking turmeric.
-
Britt, your aims and your determination are truly inspiring!!!

Hmm, hmm, hmm. I presume you are measuring BF with one of those home scales? I have always been skeptical of that method. Clearly it is working for you. Maybe I need to reevaluate ... You have been using yours long enough that you have seen a steady decline in BF as you lose weight?
-
Great philosophy.
-
I think you are doing a GREAT job, and I love seeing your meals and reading our blog. I just read your story about your son's migraine and your stress about having to leave him. I totally agree that your/our kids come first. However, as I tell my son, remember that you have to take care of yourself so that you will be…

You're going to kill this! Nice goal. I'm looking forward to your success.
-
I admire your steady loss. Great job!
-
Awesome report about your conference. Sitting there not eating lunch - admire that. I've done it a couple of times. It's amazing how easily both companions and the wait staff accept the fact you don't want to eat. You look adorable in your picture - no, you do NOT have a fat face!!

Home from Spain. Here is the final count. 24 days: 3 days fasting, 4 days @ 2 meals, 17 days OMAD. New weight 183.0 => Loss of 2.8 pounds (Should have lost more. But old friends and wine seem to go together ...) My knee did not hold out as well as I hoped it would. However, on the final day, DH went out into the mobs in…

First afternoon in Barcelona. The fish was good, but the part I didn't take a picture of - nearly 1/2 of my husband's pork cheeks slow-cooked in a luscious tomato sauce - now that was great! Yummy!
