you must feel peed off about that..sure you stuck to the way they suggest refeeding on the paperwork..looking back at what youve written, looks as though you have...what did the chemist say and have you thought about contacting LT for their advise?

Pharmacist reckons it water weight going on and it's cos I been weightlifting.

Next week will be the teller, I'm gonna eat as I have this week but keep an eye on portions/keep everything weighed. And make a note of everything that goes into my mouth.

Nicki 26 has been a superstar and we have both gone over me grub.

Still stings though

 

[nicki26]

big kisssssssssssssssssss hun.....you will be fine. will call u later for a chat, we can keep eachother strong ! xxxxx love ya

 

[Gene Genie]

It will be water dont worry xx you still look fab! phwoarrrrrrrrr

 

[Guenevere]

Awe no! That's awful. It could easily just be water weight, and if your clothes still fit you the same, then you probably haven't gained fat.
Maybe it was the salmon you had early on in the week, I didn't think that was allowed until day 4. I kow Lillie was saying that was one of her downfalls on Refeed.

Hi Cankster

Hope you don't mind a 'CD-er' butting in, but I've just been reading your yummy sounding refeed menu. Wow! You are some cook!

I do suspect that water weight will count for some of your gain this week - and, quite possibly, muscle weight too if you've been doing a bit more exercise. I do wonder though if it's possible you're overdoing it on the fruit side of things (both fresh and dried) as that could add quite a lot of extra carbs/sugar to your diet.

I've been maintaining for almost 2 years now (blimey! time flies!) and do know that I've also had a tendency to overdo my fruit intake - especially in the summer where there are lots of yummy berries around . It's far easier to justify to myself that eating fruit is 'healthy', but I know it's also the way I get my sugar fix so I've had to cut down on the amount I ate as I noticed I was gaining a bit too as a result

Portion sizes are every dieters biggest bug-bear and, whilst our stomachs do 'shrink' when we're dieting, it's scarily easy how quickly your stomach can accommodate larger portions again - if you let it. Just watch that eh matey?

Good luck with your continued refeed programme - and mega well done on the amount of weight you've lost

 

[CANKSTER]

I think your right, I have been ging back through my "snacks" with nicki26 and we have identified dried fruit and fruit as possible culprits.

This week im gonna cut the fruit right down and snack on carrots/celery low carb suger free stuff and see if that makes a diff.

Thank you all, its really nice to know i have such support when it's tough, your all lush xxx we got to have a lipotrim meet!!!!

 

[Summerskye]

we got to have a lipotrim meet!!!!

Why don't you guys check out the Meetings & Events forum on here? We have lots of meets in various parts of the country (eg. York in 2 weeks time; Bournemouth at the end of October).

We get people who are doing all kinds of different diets and usually have an absolute blast. It would be great to see some new faces at future meets

[nicki26]

sounds yum! porridge oats have around 359 calories per 100 g, i usually have around 40g, u may be ok as u go to the gym hun but thought i would warn u just in case u werent counting the cals for it,think that is just the oats without milk added aswell....thaats the bag that i have anyway,dunno if they r all the same but mine r just normal porridge oats in a bag

 

[CANKSTER]

Cheers babe, I did not know it was quite that bad although I knew it was very carby. I think I will go down to 70g tomorrow and see how I go. It is very very filling though and does keep me full till well into lunch so may stick with it.

Ta for the heads up though sweetness x

[pinkiepie]

I have a x-trainer at home that i go on every day (well nearly!) If i do 20mins it usually burns about 200cals, but if you're using one that you have to put your weight & other details in they are much more accurate. Also it depends how hard & fast your doing it (ooh er!) I reakon it's probably right, so keep burning baby!! xx

 

[CANKSTER]

Its the one at the gym, I put my weight and height in and go on the 28 min weightloss setting with is 4 min segments of 5 resistance and 9 resistance which is a bit sweaty x
