Getting thinner everyday!
Thanks very much Kered for taking the time and effort to post this. It's really helpful.
I'm starting to think about the next stage of my journey as I'm approaching target ( a few weeks and I'll be refeeding). It has been a great confidence booster to read how to refeed and then how to maintain and see it actually working for someone.

You're welcome, I am glad its a help. Good luck when you come onto refeed and dont be afraid of asking any questions, it can be a scary time.
Haha, its like a comedy with me mediating between those two!

LOL, you header.
Thoroughly enjoyed my wine last night.
Weighed this morning and still 10st 1lb, so at last I have managed to maintain - woohoo.
Just made a huge saucepan of broth this morning, so cheap to make and very filling. Works out at 130 calories per portion, but I will add some chicken when having it and freeze most of it for work next week and this weekends nightshifts.

Love broth...even without dumplings....looks like tea at your place then! lol
I make it differently each time, but lately the way I have been making it is like this.
100g lentils
100g barley
1 large leek, chopped
3 carrots, grated
2 large onions, chopped
Third of a swede, diced small
A good handful of chopped parsley
I use chicken bones boiled up for stock, or stock from boiled ham or beef. Make it in a large saucepan. Finish product gives you about ten good sized bowls.
I add all the ingredients above and bring to the boil, simmer until pulses are cooked. Works out about 130-150 calories per bowl, but then I add chicken, ham or beef to each bowl, which makes it to about 250 calories per bowl.
I freeze loads of this, its so handy for work.

Don't know if I've missed it elsewhere Mary but I'd be interested in how you make your broth ... ?
(Can you tell re-feeding is beginning to interest me? About 4 or 5 weeks to go I think)
