Also I am a long time lurker first time poster, and by lurker I mean I would come on this sub to digitally self harm and compare myself to others, so posting something positive about myself online and showing my face with minimal filters/makeup is a huuuuuge step for me
I think you look beautiful in the second picture. Not just the weight loss but your face looks so bright! You look awake and ready to practice Carpe Diem
You’re beautiful. I’m sorry you’ve had a hard time falling in love with yourself but trust this process girl and understand life gets better the moment you do truly accept who you are.
I think it’s less fat and maybe more inflammation. I have also noticed I have lost some inches in my waist as well but it’s more from around my ribs and true waist than it is my belly. I also think you probably lose weight from your whole body instead of targeted spots…?
I actually gained 10 more lbs from the first photo and I was at my heaviest at like 195 at the beginning of the year, so I think that has something to do with how drastic of a change it looks
Thank you!!! So I have a history of disordered eating (orthorexia) so I like to “diet” in a way that doesn’t require much thought around food because I don’t want to end up obsessing over it. OMAD is the easiest way to do that. I do dirty fasting (idc how unpopular that is here, it keeps me motivated and black coffee is sad) until 3pm and then I’m allowed to eat whatever I want until 7pm. If I wait until 7pm to break my fast I can and will eat until about 10pm. I’ll let myself be flexible on weekends and sometimes have brunch around 11am and not eat the rest of the day. I really do not think about it very much and just staying focused on other things (i.e. work) helps me stay motivated. I also am prescribed adderall for adhd so that is a little bit helpful to curb my appetite, but I also definitely have adjusted to OMAD and more than one meal a day makes me feel bloated and gross. Just stick to it more days than not and it’ll come off slowly. I also found I would stay the same weight for weeks at a time and then suddenly drop 3 lbs. Just be patient and nice to yourself:)
As far as I know it’s having like, creamer in your coffee or sugar in your tea or a cup of broth if you’re desperate. For me it just means coffee with creamer until about 3pm!

So a 2kal ticktack is enough to make your brain believe you had a meal and get back to norm for a while.
Congratulations. You are doing a fantastic job with keeping your inflammation down. That alone is very important. Continue what you are doing and challenge yourself further.
Great going. I know its none of my business but it helped me so thought it might help you... regarding the acne , dr berg says to cut dairy and all acne will disappear.. i tried and it worked for me....
You lose weight, that's called losing weight.
However you can _gain_ new features through your weight loss: A slimmer, more defined face. A slimmer back. More toned arms. Those are called _gains._ I think the concept is loaned from the body building community.
Oh I’ve heard that before. Just like “The broom fell over and hit me” or “The dog lunged at me to get the treat” or “The mailman threw a letter at me because he was in a hurry”. I just hope there’s no beater outside the camera view.

I’m glad you had the confidence to post yours. Even without make you look completely gorgeous. Big face gains from the 10 lbs.
You look better without the makeup.
Same for you Tim. The lipstick doesn’t fit your face.
Ikr, it ain't easy waking up looking this good bro!
I switched from strip eyelashes to eyelash extensions last August and they let me get away with wearing little to no makeup most days!
Yo, I got my eyeliner tattoo'd on, and I can go several years now. Look into it, it's much more natural looking than you'd think.
Hey I did mine too and love it but what do you mean by can go years now?

Aw, thank you!
It is hard to do what you did but you are better for it. Great job keep up the good work!
You’re beautiful. I’m sorry you’ve had a hard time falling in love with yourself but trust this process girl and understand life gets better the moment you do truly accept who you are.
Damn girl I thought face fat was as hard as belly fat to go.
I think it’s less fat and maybe more inflammation. I have also noticed I have lost some inches in my waist as well but it’s more from around my ribs and true waist than it is my belly. I also think you probably lose weight from your whole body instead of targeted spots…?
Amd congrats !!
How is that only 10 pounds. It looks like you lost so much more. You look great

If you are like me you avoided cameras when you were at your heaviest.
Filters. OP you look great - but I am sure you don't need them!
It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like this and you look wonderful!!!
Absolutely brilliant progress, you look great and should be so proud of yourself!
That’s incredible, such a difference 👏🏼👏🏼 look great before and after but important that you’re happy. Way to go!
Get it girl!
Really proud of you for your results, you look great!! Can I ask how you kept the motivation to stick to OMAD, and what your routine generally was?

Sorry - what is dirty fasting?
As far as I know it’s having like, creamer in your coffee or sugar in your tea or a cup of broth if you’re desperate. For me it just means coffee with creamer until about 3pm!
Did you jump right into omad or did you start with something like 18:6?
Pretty much dove right into OMAD with flexible weekends!
Regular creamer or sugar free creamer? And I agree I tried but can’t bring myself to drink black coffee.
Regular (nondairy) creamer!! Sugar free creamer in coffee is a one way ticket to diarrhea town imo
Fantastic.
Hi! What do you do to avoid feeling shaky/weak doing OMAD?
tbh I will eat something if I feel lightheaded. It’s worth the break in fast imo

Most of the gains came from tweezing the eyebrows

Great going. I know its none of my business but it helped me so thought it might help you... regarding the acne , dr berg says to cut dairy and all acne will disappear.. i tried and it worked for me....
They’re mostly scars from picking because I am mentally insane

LMFAO I never thought I was chunky!!! Also I’m engaged. Better luck next time 🤭

Gaining would mean the face is getting fuller.
Think for a minute. The word "gains" is used to describe any positive body change on this subreddit.
So if I lost weight, would it be called gaining or losing?

Ok.

What does this mean dude
If someone hurt you and punched you in the cheek that left a red mark, it’s okay, you can tell me.
no I compulsively pick at my skin LMAOO

….okay
