Hi dolphin something i've noticed as i've looked into refeed. And i'm not sure about the salmon as i think it's quite and oily fish. I think might be best to stick with white fish like cod or haddock?

Thanks Kingmaker, you have a point there. I have reread the leaflet, it does say "white fish fillet". I will leave the salmon out for now, I am bit nervous, I don't want to gain weight, I would be ok if I stick to this rigidly

Good luck for refeed. I agree on the salmon being oily. Have White fish initially. Once you stick with the refeed sheet you will be o k. I'd also keep up your water intake. I still drink 1 1/2 to 2 litres of water a day. It's s great habit to keep up.

complete list of foods

I have now completed my menu for the first 2 weeks, I hope to keep up with my water intake and avoid putting things in my mouth. Please feel free to make comments.

I wish I could be like my mother, she is so disciplined just 3 meals a day, nothing else. Yesterday I went for walks twice, 15 minutes each time, I intend to keep it up. I won't be able to go to gym because of my arthritis ridden knee, walking and swimming are going be best for me

 

[Determined Bev]

Im the same with my knee, I do zumba and it seems to be coping. It's fun and fast, gets ur heart going lol

lost 2 and half Ibs

I went in for my usual weigh in and was delighted with another 2 1/2 Ib loss. How good is that?
I have followed the refeed sheet to the letter. I am so pleased with myself. Having said that I don't know how much damage has been done to my hair, I washed it this morning, loads came out. I am so stressed out:cry:

 

[irish molly]

Wow! Another 2 1/2 pounds!!! Well done.
Don't stress over your hair. It will recover but will take 6-12 weeks to do so. Yes to tomatoes have a fab volumising shampoo and conditioner that will make the best of your locks for now!

Thank you Molly for your kind words, I feel good having lost all that weight, I know hair loss is only temporary, so I can live with it

lost 1/2 Ib in my second week of refeed

I have been for my weigh in session and lost l/2 Ib in my 2nd week of refeed. I must be doing something right, having planned meals for 2 full weeks has really helped.
I am still continuing to lose my hair, the loss has slowed down but still enough to have me on edge all the time.:cry:
I hope things are going well for other refeeders.

 

[irish molly]

Well done on the loss for second week. Planning is important IMO to keep bad habits at bay.
It's current hair growth that you are losing. It will slow down over the coming weeks and hair will regrow.

Thank you Molly for the kind words. Every time I brush my hair it comes out, it's good thing I am tall, my thin hair is not so visible to others but when I am sitting down I have noticed people looking but not saying anything. Oh well, something that I will have to live with, I am no spring chicken so it doesn't really matter in a way. Had I been 20 years younger I wouldn't have wanted to face anyone. I hope re- growth happens soon
