I don’t know what OMAD stand for but I’ve read about people are fasting on the internet. I’m not sure I want to fast, but have a plate of steamed vegetables so it’s close to it. I have light gravy sauce with shiitake mushroom as my protein. Pretty tasty.
I can sustain it long term too.
One Meal A Day = OMAD.
I lost my weigh (~65#, kept off ~9 months so far) by logging every single thing I eat and limiting calories to less than I burn in a day. I also see how much protein, carbs and fat I get and make sure those aren't way out of whack. I eat whatever I want, but goals of getting enough protein and having some veggies in there plus knowing what leaves me hungry affects my choices. I use a phone app with a huge database so logging is easy.

Wow, congrats. That’s amazing. I hope you can keep up with it. I can’t stand any of these apps, my kids suggested one for me, so I just eat a little less and do more activities. In fact, when I was using the myfitness app or something similar, I made no progress. Whatever works for you is great, keep doing it.
The holidays are not too bad for me since I am alone and don't really socialize. I do have one family member who sends HM cookies, but I can control myself. I have had my one quart of eggnog and it was delicious. I don't dare buy any more.
What gets me is the limit on exercise. While the weather is good I try to walk as much as possible. But it didn't get above 20 today, that's cold. There are no gyms nearby.
That’s the problem with winter, I’m glad I have my badminton class, someplace to exercise in bad weather. Next year, when we get a chance we put a ping pong table in the garage. When the weather is bad, we still get some exercise.

MyFitnessPal (mfp) is the big one and it's what I use. It just tracks calories; it isn't a diet. It doesn't affect progress; it just helps explain it. You can use it with any diet you want. I also just eat a little less and do more activities; I just have some reasonably good numbers on consumption versus burn that helped me hang in there at times when progress seemed slow.
Weight loss isn't linear; the scale might say the same thing for a couple of weeks and then fall fast for a week. I didn't experience the long stalls that some people do. Those are usually due to inaccurate logging.
You do have to be sure that you are correctly logging every single thing you eat, weighing on a food scale whenever possible and that you don' log too many calories for exercise. If you enter minutes of exercise, mfp will usually give a number that is too high and I either enter less minutes or edit the number to be lower. It's like they measure a 20 year old doing the exercise at high speed.
Me: Couple bites of any deserts and no carbs on my plate...or a table spoon of potatoes so
people don't comment.
A week of fun =3 months to take it off. Repeat that everyday.
Enjoy your holidays, just pay attention to the amount of carbs your ingesting.
