Thanks, nomore, SM, Rebekah and Elaine. These losses are definately keeping the motivation strong!
So weigh in number 7, lost 3.8lbs
considering it was totm and it was a bit of a humdinger one Im very pleased with that!
Hoping to get into the 17s this week! Its hard to believe it really, I remember saying earlier on in my dairy how even when Ive lost 4 stone Id still be 17st something and Im nearly there now! I've got my mini goals but my big one will be when I get to 16st 4lbs as I know this was how heavy I was after having my youngest boy over 10 years ago and Iv always been heavier than that since.
Im just wondering how long are we supposed to do TFR for before we are recommended to take a break? I have in my head its 12 wks? I have started to think about it now as I want to plan. I really don't want to break but if its recommended? Also what is re feed, is this just adding a little something else along with the packs? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really really don't want to break from my 4 packs and I'm happy doing that as long as I need to but need to know what the recommendations are so I can get my head around it!
On to week 8

Well done Rachael another chunk gone :clap:
The official s&s site recommends 12wks on TFR
The re-feed plan is on their home page on the right hand side.
I'd follow that for a week (I still lost weight on this) and then you can get straight back on TFR.
Good luck getting into the 17's x x

Click on YOUR ACCOUNT on slim&save page.
On the right hand side it says VLCD re-feed. It gives you the 7or10 day re-feed plan to follow
hope this helps x x

Thanks scousemouse, I had a look at the re-feed. Looks like I should be doing the 10 day one as Ive lost more than 3st. So that will be 18th October to 27th. Cant say Im looking forward to it worried the first hit of real food will send me haywire! Also read all the info about the glycogen and water ratios and must admit upto a 6lb gain is not a happy prospect! Hope to be another stone lighter by then though so we will see!
I have an NCMA regional forum next Saturday and lunch is included, haven't had to deal with eating out so far so that will be a challenge. I would think its a fairly set menu too. If I was going on my own I think I would skip the lunch and retreat to the car for a bar but I'm with a collegue so cant. I haven't told anyone I'm doing SnS as its easier to just get on with it quietly, only my boys know. Was slightly upset my Mum didn't notice I'd lost weight though when she popped in last week on the way to the airport. I haven't seen her since I started, am I really that huge that you can't tell I've lost 3 stone?!!!!
Oh well my youngest keeps telling me Im doing really well and he can tell, bless!
I'm going to have to brave the fat lady shop at some point next week, I really haven't got anything left to wear now, hopefully i can find something this time and its a little less traumatic!
Oh and I finally got my hair done last Monday! According to their records I hadn't been in since 2009! Oh the shame!:ashamed0005: Feeling alot more human and confident now

Thats great news Jo, glad you've managed to get it together. I know how frustrating and upsetting it is when you want to do it but just cant and you don't know why. I was like that for the last 12 months and it really does get you down. Your holiday is a great goal and counting down the days also, Ive got about the same number of days till my first break so will keep you company, re-feed will be my holiday!!
Are you planning going straight through christmas? I think I will myself. x

We have such similar goals! I'm aiming for 15st 4 or less by Christmas as that's the lowest I've been since having son 2 over 10 yrs ago! I'm not going to say remember because I remember being 9st 10lb very well but I don't think I will ever be visiting single figures again!

I know-we had to strip down to our blouses and Socks and line up to get weighed! The matron would weigh us, and then call out our name and weight to the San nurse at the desk!! It was a boarding school so I guess it was to monitor the boarding girls x

I've just used parts of the s&s, cd and focused on the important parts of the competition diet and built a refeed from there
I felt the s&s was too fast ..also reintroduced foods I won't be adding back in
Focus for me will be High protein and low carbs for maintenance. Soon as I see 8,7-8,10 I will be refeeding
Have a good day hun Xx

Weigh in number 8, lost 4lbs made it into the 17s by half a pound!
Not been very well this week, sore throat and chest infection. By lots of peoples diaries

Cant wait for the weekend, kids are going to their Dads which doesn't happen often, so I don't have to get up early to take them to rugby, yay!

ooo just looked at my stats now Ive updated, 3st 8lbs lost and Ive made it below a 40 BMI :bliss:
I do feel a little better this morning thanks Rebekah and no work until 3pm so I'm going to go clothes shopping! (Holds breath and closes eyes) desperate now cant keep wearing the trousers I've got I have to pretty much hold on to one side all the time to keep them up! One day soon there is going to be an unfortunate incident where they're going to end up around my ankles!
