I though while im in the zone - id start up a refeeding diary and when im finished this week ill continue doing a maintanence one. Ill try everyday to put down what I had to eat and if I was hungry and all that stuff.

Okay here it goes.

Day1:

Breakfast: Maintanance bar - I started nibbling at this because I didnt want to finish it to quickly but I soon realised I was quickly becoming very full so I ate it a bit faster then.

Lunch - 3oz chicken (bbq) chopped up mixed in with a small bowl of salad dressed with a bit of balsalmic vinegar. This was heaven - it really was. I could see me having a salad every day. Also quite filling

Dinner - Maintanence bar.

Water - 1 pint before breakfast, 1 pint during and 1 pint after. I also drank a 2 litre bottle throughout the bbq.

Today was great. Really looking forward to tommorrow.

Thanks Carolyn Ill try my best to update every day if not every second day.

Breakfast

Lipotrim maintanence bar - I still cant get over how nice these are!!

Lunch - small bowl of mixed salad dressed with balsalmic vinegar (this stuff is amazing) and a tin of tuna. I was so stuffed after this. Its was just gorgeous. I didnt have my dinner till nearly 7 cuz I was so full

Dinner. Fillet of cod - I had a total disaster with the cod - bright spark here thought she would cook it in the george foreman - only for it to break up. Then when i was scooping the bits out I thought it didnt look enough but thought nothing more of it - until i went to clean the foreman and half of the bloody fish was stuck to the top of it. And I had to pieces of brocolli

The water was pretty much the same as yesterday.

Hi Ally,
I think your thread is great. Keep posting. I can't wait for your weigh in-fingers crossed!
Let us know how you're doing emotionally too, is it hard, are you afraid of food? Do you have cravings? Are you happier than when you had the weight on!
My refeed is weeks away, but I think it's way more important than TFR.
I've decided on a low GI/GL lifestyle. Is that what you chose?
Guen

Last day of refeed but went for my weigh in today and was down 2lb - I am thrilled.

Emotionally im much better than when i was on TFR. Im absolutly thriving on refeed - granted im weighing myself every morning and every night - but i need to make sure my weight doesnt creep up.

I wasnt afraid to eat the potatoes - but at times I was feeling that I was eating too much or that i was doing something wrong. The refeed leaflet became my bible.

Yes I am afraid of foods but thats not a bad thing - chocolate scares the living daylights out of me. But ive discovered that fruit really hits the sugar spot that sweets and chocolate used to fill. Im planning to have my first glass of wine tommorrow night - but im terrified. So afraid that I probably wont drink it..

Today I had:

Breakfast - lipotrim bar

Lunch - rye bread with a slice of turkey and salad and an apple

Snack - I got stuck out today and was really panicking as I was getting hungry - I bought an apple that was nearly gone off - horrible

Dinner - Super lean mince mixed with egg, garlic, chilli, lemon juice and made into burgers. Baby potatoes and salad mixed with honey and mustard dressing

Snack - peach

I have chosen to follow the low GI/GL plan too. Im also incorporating low cal into that too. I bought a fantastic pocket book that has every food in it - with the GI and GL along with the calories and all other nutritional information.

Im gonna post this for as long as I can for 2 reasons

1 - To look back on if I ever get a bad week

2- For other people to look at if they are anxious about refeeding. Its really a great week - you just need to let go of the fear that your eating too much

Well done oxally
You are doing great. Please post your maintenance diary too, it will be great help to everyone. I found refeed week great, couldnt manage to eat all the food on the list though. Maintenance while trying to lose weight is harder I have found as you are not allowed snack its just the 2 maint prods and low fat meal. Good luck, let us know how you get on, you have done brill and look fab too. Have a great weekend.

Hey Ally,
You can see the Low GI in your Maintenance. What brand of oatcakes are you eating, and where do you get them?

I got a really great recipe for 110 cal muffins that are really low GL/GI today, as there's no flour, and a quarter cup honey in 12, and u can use splenda or xylitol if you want. Just made them for the BF and he really liked them. I made cranberry but u can use anything. If you'd like it I can post it. He's also finding the flavoured ryvita fantastic.

Hey hun - I got the Nairn brand oatcakes, I got them plain and ginger I havent tried the ginger ones but the plain ones are yummy especially with a small bit of crunchy peanut butter. They are quite savoury anyways - I cant imagine them with jam or anything on them. I live in Ireland and I got them in Dunnes stores.

Post the recipe - the more ideas I have for food the better. Although in saying that im still afraid to eat anything too nice if you get what i mean. Im loving fruit - which i never did before - im loving so much ive actually had to limit how much I eat.

Also ive found now that im a week back on food, some of my old habits are trying to creep back on me. Like eating when im bored. Apart from my main meals everytime I eat I have to re assess whether or not im hungry or not.

When I was on the shakes I had my soup at 8 o clock - I find that even though im not hungry at that time that i feel peckish. So thats just something for other people to watch out for.
