So what do I have to lose by trying OMAD?
Sadly, I have a LOT to lose (weight that is) but I'm hoping that by incorporating a OMAD approach to my daily way of eating, and doing this on a long term basis, will help me lose the pounds and keep them off....well that and daily exercise which I'm currently allergic to doing
I obviously have my work cut out for me....
A little background:
January 1st 2022 was my big eye opener for me. I stood on the scale and weighed in at my highest weight of 305 lbs.
Over the course of the next 9 months I had lost about 50 lbs and I was feeling good....but between October 2022 and December 2022 I started to gain some back....(damn those holiday months). What with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and everything in between, I'm now back up to 285 lbs.
Anyways, there is no point on dwelling on it.
I am here now, trying to get back on track and today I'm starting OMAD!

Taking my 'starting' measurements last January (2022) was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done...but something that now, I'm glad I did. I became quite depressed when I almost run out of tape measure trying to measure around my belly last year. This morning I had a few inches of tape measure remaining.
As you can see from my measurements above, the majority of my fat is stored around my mid section, belly area, as well as my upper arms.
I need to work on this through exercise and strength training...but one thing at a time!
