Re-Feeding On LT could someone tell me a bit more about it?

[nixx]

I'm off on holiday soon too, Chitty, and to be honest am ok with what I weigh now, but would be happier having lost another half stone. I'm going to carry on with this til I go, then do my absolute best to behave while I'm away (barring vodka) and join Weight Watchers when I get back to help me lose that last bit and maintain. I just can't do it without some structure and boundaries. Good luck, however you do it - if you've done CD, you can do it!

Here you go. I've not been eating as much as it tells you to on the refeed thingy (too scared!) but have been drinking all my water. I've not been hungry or craved any of my old favourites, and if you'd told me 4 months ago I'd be able to eat salad without half a jar of mayonnaise, or even look at framage frais, I'd have laughed my head off!

Day 1
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
4oz chicken, small bowl of salad with balsamic vinegar
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee

Day 2
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
¾ tin tuna in brine, small bowl of salad and balsamic vinegar
4oz chicken, small bowl of salad with balsamic vinegar

Day 3
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee and 1 cup black coffee
Prawns, small bowl of salad with lemon juice
3oz salmon, 2 oz new potatoes, tbsp leeks, tbsp mange tout, tbsp virtually fat free fromage frais (VFFFF) mixed with chives and chopped onion

Day 4
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
Prawns and salmon with small bowl of salad and lemon juice
Cottage pie – onion, carrot and celery, sweated til soft, vegemince, stock cube, peas, water, dried mixed herbs, topped with scoop of fat-free Smash (we were camping, my son was cooking!)
2 cups of coffee with skimmed milk

Day 5
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
Prawn salad with balsamic vinegar
Chicken breast, barbecued, small brown roll, salad, tbsp VFFFF with chives and chopped onion, celery and cucumber to dip
2tbsp VFFFF with 9 raspberries
2 cups of coffee with skimmed milk

Day 6
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
Small brown roll, grilled chicken, 2 ½ strawberries
Prawn salad
3 cups coffee with skimmed milk

Day 7
LT vanilla shake with tsp coffee
2 slices wholemeal oatmeal bread, grilled chicken
Chicken breast baked in home-made tomato sauce (onion, garlic, celery, carrot, fennel, passata, fresh basil)
2 tbs VFFFF with raspberries
1 cup coffee with skimmed milk

Hope that all makes sense. Just had smoked mackerel salad for lunch and it was fab! Honestly better than a Big Mac!

That is great thanks, tell me did you go straight from shakes etc to this and what has your weight done this week if so........

I am about the same bmi as you and I to am nearly happy but no quite, I still need to lose more to have a buffer Zone, what I am now is what I would like my biggest to be if you know what I mean.

Have a great holiday are you going any where nice? Silly bloody question off course you are else you wouln't be going..........
WW is good, I like there points system, but it took to long for me when I started so CD worked fab. I think I will read up lots on low gi, low carb, healthy eating etc and then try weightlossresourses and cal count for a while see how it goes. I am going to be one of the 5 who keep it off, I love being slimmer and love buying slimmer clothes from all the shops..... No way am I going to pile it on again.
Thanks for the post, really thankful for the help.

Best of luck Chitty - agree its a great thread...

Just a by the way.....I see one girl who goes to my Chemist - we seem to have our appointments at the same time and only was chatting to her on Saturday - she lost 6stone and has kept it off for 6 months now. She still uses the maintence bars and drinks a few days a week.. as she finds them really handy and help her deal with managing her food intatke.... She was overweight for nearly 20 years and still stugggles from time to time to control her eating pattens and sais the maintence stuff was great.....she's a real inspiration.....she looked so amazing...the photos on the site are brilliant but to see someone face to face that has lost so much is like WOW... Best of luck

Thanks Bea and I agree it is great to see someone who has lost lots of weight. I think the whole concept of managing weight and using some of the shakes etc is good, CD do a trimmer bar I think which sounds good as it has 50% of the RDA of vitamins in it.

Ok, better dash need to get my daughter ready for a party, which she is going to be late for as she has just taken 1 hour to tidy her toys away........ Love my kids so much, but oh the joys of having them sometimes............................

LOL yes, off to Alcudia. Can't wait - my first "proper" holiday for 4 years.

I love being "normal" again too - just being able to pick up a size 10 and know it will fit is great. Having a bulging wardrobe to choose from instead of putting on the same old "fat clothes" every day.

I've looked into all the other diets too but I really do need the structure of a class, and I know WW works for me, so off I go. My sister has just packed in being a leader so is coming to classes with me to keep herself on the straight and narrow too, so that should be a really good help for me.

Good luck, and keep reading and posting. I think remembering what we were and how hard it was to get here will help, as will reading how other people are doing on here.

Thanks for posting all of that Nixx, thats brilliant :-)

Oooooo Alcudia ....where are you staying, I went there 7yrs ago and loved it.

[nixx]

Your welcome DD. Hope it helps, although I know there's not much variety on it as I'm just too scared to start eating some stuff just yet.

Sonya, we're going to the Lagotel. I went 4 years ago and it was great, so hoping it's not changed too much! Will be lying sunbathing on my tummy so as not to show my jelly belly!

Alcudia looks lovely, I must admit I didn't know where it was so gooled it and it looks lovely. And you'll have to lay on your back as well else you look mulit colour and you'll get more stares from that than a jelly belly. Have you tried slendertone, I got the slendertone max about 4 weeks ago and use it on average 4-5 times a week and it really does work. My tummy is far far from perfect and my stretch marks look like I've had major surger, (ok slight exagheration there), but after the weight loss I can't grumble and I've got bikinis for my holiday... (one way to empty the beach ).

I am the opposite to you, hate having to go to a class every week to be weighed in and as such only see my cdc once a month, so my weighin for the next 3 weeks will be done by my scales at home, which lucky weigh the same as my cdc. I'm not good with routine and love doing things on the spur of the moment. (My sister hates this when I often ring and say can you babysit in an hour, or course I don't expect her to but I ask when I dare any way and sometimes she is happy to).

God this site is going to help, and people like you are gold dust.

It will be nice for you having your sister do it with you, it will be a fun night out for you.
Ok need to take the dvd back to the shop.

[nixx]

Sorry, Chitty, didn't answer your question - yes, straight from shakes to this - seems too much too soon, doesn't it?!

making tea, will be back.

Hmmmm not to sure, perhaps to good to be true and lose weight. When do you get weighed as I already have my fingers and toes crossed that you lose, then I know just what to do the week before I go away........

What date to you go on holiday? Sorry if you have already said, that is my other problem, I'm so forgetful///////////

[Bea]

my Goodness I have only been away for one weekend and I have missed so much!! Hi everybody!

Hi you...its been busy today!!! How was your weekend?

[nixx]

Hi Chitty I weighed today and stayed the same, will be weighing again next Tuesday 21st then on holiday on the 25th. Don't think I'll lose anything, to be honest, will just be happy to stay the same before I go!

[nixx]

Just realised I've actually LOST 2lbs this week, not stayed the same. I was thinking of what I was when I went away on Thursday and what I was when I got back yesterday - stayed the same. I lost 2lbs from day 1 to day 4 though.
