Refeed starts tomorrow. EEEEK!!
- Thread starter and
- Start date
Hi Teapot - Thanks for your support 
Today... Started well.
I had porridge- only 30g this time but it still went over the microwave! Doh! Made it with the oatmilk and it was much nicer. Also had a banana. I think some skimmed milk powder may make it taste nice too but I don't have any.
I've just had a meal of quorn, peas and cauliflower in a spicy sauce with couscous. I ate the max allowed in one meal (according to the refeed) - I should stop doing that as I feel bloated and irritated. Tomorrow I am going to have 75% of what it suggests. The guidelines are not a bloody target!!!!
I'm also drinking pepsi... I promise myself I'll quit again before the weekend but I have to stay awake atm. Stupid, stupid addiction.
Have you planned your refeed - you'll need to do it for several weeks as you've been on LT so long.

Oh you're welcome And, have been worrying about you x
Good plan about the 75% - if an hour later you are hungry you could have the remainder if necessary and if you don't need it that's great!
Yep, mostly there with the refeed. Doing days 1-3 and then 4-7 and again days 4-7 same for an extra week making 2 weeks altogether. Crumbs I hope I can do it! Will see how I go from there and how confident I feel. I may do maintenance for a bit after to help me with transition, but won't know until I get there and how I'm coping. I think this is the really scary bit. Really DO NOT want to blow this now but trying to be organised and not panic about it. x x x

Day #6
Breakfast- 30g oats with 250ml of oatmilk and a banana.
Meal - 150g quorn, half a cauli, peas and tomatos in spicy sauce with 1/4 tin chickpeas (no fat added at all) with 4oz of couscous.
Snack - banana sandwich - I did use a small amount of margarine.
I also had 1cm square of dark chocolate, 3 pints (yes pints :sigh: ) of pepsi max... And a couple of pints of fizzy water.
I am going to get weighed tomorrow (day early) - hope it's not too depressing. :argh:

Wow, was it only April I put myself through all that. I really am an idiot.
Well by October was almost the same size as I was in Jan. Clothes were tight again and I started thinking, "you look fat" when I caught my reflection.
My local council are running a free 12wk weight management course I've just started I hope it helps me learn to maintain!
I've done 3 weeks so far and I'm trying to do another 5 weeks on VLCD (exante this time) then maintain! 6 weeks of weight management course after I refeed should help me.
After that they're giving you a month free pass for the sports centre if you make it through the course... I gotta crack this eventually!
