Thread: Re-feeding soon

Yep that's what I thought about eating at lunchtime, so that's that then chicken salad for lunch tomorrow!!
Good luck with WW, it is good if you stick at it and don't cheat like me! You don't have to cheat now they've got a new plan out where you get our daily points then an extra 49 a week! xx

I did WW - never used my weekly points only my daily. I lost 5 lousy lbs in 3 months...

Day 1 Re-feed!!!
I had a chocolate LT mousse for breakfast
Lunch was chicken salad with a little balsamic!!! I felt really emotional preparing it this morning, not sure why but it was lovely at lunchtime. I think I made to much and couldn't finish it all, I've been imagining the size of my stomach now so I won't over eat (fingers crossed).
It felt so weird chewing and having food stuck in my teeth! I've drank about 3lts of water all ready today, I've been really thirsty. I've also had a peppermint tea because my stomach felt like it needed settling, probs a massive shock having food to digest!
So I'll have a vanilla shake tonight after I've done 30mins on the treadmill and prepared tomorrows lunch!

Hope you guys are all good, how did you get on at WW today?

You may feel very bloated for a few days but it will pass. Your tummy will soon get used to solids again.

I'm sitting here smiling for you. You must be really happy to be on the refeed.

Are you weighing out portions of food? I'm not sure I'll be able to leave anything on my plate but 've noticed a lot of you starting refeeding are getting full before you've finished. Maybe I will too.

Was your chocolate mousse a maintenance product or did you make it up from the TFR shakes? I couldn't stomach the shakes as mousse.

How did you cook your chicken? Did you just slap it in the oven or did you put something on it? I assume it was a breast with no skin on it?

Sorry for all the questions and enjoy your food.

I am happy to be re-feeding, but still a little apprehensive about being able to eat again and not having the safety of LT TFR!
I have just ordered some kitchen scales so I don't have to guess....I had half a chicken breast yesterday and today with my salad. I don't actually think thats enough, but I'll wait for my scales to be delivered tomorrow.

Yes I made the mousse from LT TFR, I prefer them to the shakes.
I cooked the chicken breast in one of those oven bags so it stayed moist, NO defo no skin....I don't like the skin anyway!

Day 2
Breakfast -Vanilla and coffee shake
Lunch -Chicken salad - half a chicken breast, lettuce, 3 cherry tomatoes, red onion, yellow & orange peppers had in a small tupperware bowl with a little balsamic to dress it.
Dinner - Will be chicken again, but with green beans, broccoli and green savoy cabbage. I might season my chicken with something or add some garlic to it.

Oooo!! I'm excited for you.
I'm doing my first full day of S&S tomorrow so I will be introducing some protein and salad into my diet too (it's part of their VLCD plan) so I almost feel like I am refeeding already!

I'm going to have two boiled eggs and some lettuce with one of their meal packs - I'm dead excited lol.

Today I had one of their mushroom soups - wow, VLCD's CAN taste good! I'm testing an exante bar later which i'm also excited about.

Lol, I can't imagine being excited about a 200cal meal in my normal day to day life can you?

Haha it's mental what not eating does to you isn't it!! Lots of people seem to be leaving LT to do Slim & Save, it does make all the difference actually being able to have a small meal. But then again I'm not sure whether that would be strict enough for me, I liked the control with LT because I knew I couldn't have anything else.
Anyway my dinner was amazing I had chicken cooked in the oven bag but I put some garlic and chilli in with it.....it was sooooo delicious! It felt great to sit at the table as a family and all eating the same meal. My 2yr old even ate her vegetables, I think it's because she seen me eating so I'm over the moon
Good luck hun with your S&S tomorrow, you'll have to let me know what it's like.....if I can't shift this last 2st on my own I might have to give that a go xx

Day 3
Breakfast was LT Shake vanilla and coffee
Lunch - Tuna salad (1/2 tin of tuna) lettuce leaves, tomatos, onion, peppers and cucumber with balsamic. I also had 2 boiled new potatos, I haven't got any scales yet so I couldn't weigh them but I'm sure it wasn't more than 8oz in fact I don't think I've had enough potato today :/ But I think too little is better than too much!!
Dinner - will be the same as last night, it was gorgeous

I've had 2.5ltrs of water and will have more through the day

I'm actually sat in my office counting down the minutes and seconds till 5pm, then no work for 4 whole days!!! Happy days!!! xx

Thanks for posting your refeed Jacsfat - it's really useful to those of us that will soon be going through it as well. I'm glad that you seem to be enjoying it so much and with you and Louloubelle posting your refeed diaries I'm feeling less aprehensive by the day.

Please keep it up.

Hoping to start refeed in 2 weeks gone from 11.71/2 to 9.9 in 7 weeks my target is 9 so hoping for 3 more weigh ins next one being Monday. I really cant wait to eat it takes up every thought in my head

No problem MrC when you starting re-feed?

Keep at it hun you've done so well so far and 3 wks is hardly anytime at all

Day 4
Breakfast -vanilla & coffee shake
Lunch - wholemeal pitta bread with tuna, balsamic, tomatoes and onions. Was lovely tasted great!
Dinner - 4oz of salmon with chilli and garlic (amazing) half a jacket potato 4oz with a teaspoon of low fat fromage frais and chives, 3 pieces of asparagus and a handful of steamed spinach.
Dinner was fantastic it was so delicious and I amazed myself for the first time in my life I listened to my tummy and left food on my plate!!!! I only ate half my jacket potato, I left a piece of asparagus and a mouthful of salmon. I could of finished it but my tummy was full so I left it.....I'm still in shock but very pleased with myself!!
Also I've been to my friends house today, got lots of lovely compliments as I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks. But there was lots of cakes and chocolate mini eggs etc I didn't even feel like one not at all, couldn't even imagine eating chocolate. She also made me a cup of tea with milk and it was disgusting I'll be taking it black for the foreseeable!

Hi hun,
Your doing so well, your food sounds delicious and well done on leaving a little bit.... something Ive got to steal myslef to start doing now too... xxxxx

OMG!!! I went to the pharmacy today as I can't get there on Tuesday and saturdays are my usual weigh in days and I've lost 5lbs!!!!! How is that possible??!! I literally can't believe it, I'm so chuffed!! I needed 2lbs for my Easter challenger so I'm sooooo happy right now!!

That's terrific new Jacsfat - I think you needed a few more OMGs in your post! I assume any apprehension you were having is all but gone now.

Losing weight on my refeed would be a dream come true. Well done.
