So im still sick got up this morning at 6 and went to work and went home at half 10 hahaha! coz im pretty sure ill still be sick 2moro i went and got weighted a day early so i cud get my shakes.

Well as i normally get weighted at half 5 in the evening i knew i wud have a bigger loss than usual. I lost 5lbs huge for me. The pharmacist however looked very scared and told me she would rather if i refeed now. Haha! I laughed my head off and said im barely managing the shakes coz i know i have to have them i wudnt eat normal food while im sick and there is no way i was messing up my refeed after all this time losing the weight.

i explained to her that i have a plan (yes Betsy the dreaded 3rd of Dec) she said there was no way i wud be allowed to continue on TFR dat long as the person who picked my goal weight(not me, another pharmacist) didnt take into consideration my frame(big shoulders and hips). She said i wud be way to thin as she is pretty sure from her experience that i wud lose on refeed.

So I said i would watch the refeed dvd and start thinking that next week i wud be refeeding :eek: scary. I kept saying im so prepared for that date i have to change everything blah blah.

So Lucky ive been preparing for the last 7 weeks for refeed haha! Im gonna start buying food that i can freeze then at the weekend im goin to buy all my meats and veg. SCARY!

You know the really scary bit i wont be doing it with the people i thought i wud be, you know who you are im gonna be ahead of you. :cry:

Really am getting scared now to be honest. my whole plan is now topsy turvy.

Anyhow long ramble. Must go visit the doctor later to sort myself out so i can work to make money for all the food hahaha! only jokin ill be good.

I will be staying on this forum possibly for life thou so you definitely aren't getting rid of me.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Love you all so much cudnt have survived this without you!
 
refeed already?wow!
you'll be fine doing it.
it's only a few weeks earlier than planned hun and it sounds like you have a realistic pharmacist tbh.
i think you should stop when you look and feel right,not what the scales say.
you look great in your pics and i can't see where you would lose anymore weight from.

5lb loss this week is amazing.you've done a great job and never forget what a friendly,lovely,supportive,determined lady you are and how far you have come.
luvs ya x

Thanks hun i dont really know wen ill feel thin it mite just hit me wen i go shopping or something. Its prob better that its been taken out of my hands coz i wud prob have been 8 stone wen i finally felt thin. its all in my head so i need to sort that out.

Ill definitely be staying on this forum and posting a truth thread all about the realism of maintainance i tink it will help me and hopefully others as well coz i know ive read nearly all the maintainance diaries an they have been a huge help to me. Ill definitely be keeping an eye on your progress your doing so well i cant wait to see and hear bout your refeed experience.
 
Wow, congrats on your loss this week hon, that's great, although I know you've been poorly, hope you are feeling better.

I know what you mean about having your plans changed so suddenly. You've been in control of your eating all this time in LT and someone suddenly comes along and changes it without much warning. Do what feels right hon. I'm the same height as you and my goal weight is 10st (picked by me, not my pharmacist, in fact, they haven't even asked me what weight I want to be o.o ) but to be honest I think 9st 7lbs will be my ultimate goal as I remember actually *feeling* slim at that weight.

Good luck with refeeding, I'm sure you'll do great!!
 
Well done Anne Marie. I agree with tafflass that you look pretty hot right now so it is proably best to refeed. You already have put so much into planning your refeed that it will now pay dividends for you. Keep a good diary for us all to follow your progress. Again, well done you. Hope you are feeling better, not come down with the swine flu have you??
 
wahey!!! :D

Firstly *huge gentle hugs* because you're poorly. Secondly WOOOHOOOO at the 5lbs loss. That is fanbloodytastic! I'm over the freaking moon for you! Thirdly I want to kiss your pharmacist! She has helped me banish that 3rd of December!

All systems go now sweetie. I'm so glad you're being advised as to what to do. Your pharmacist sounds great. You're a little slip of a thing, so refeeding next week is the way forward. You're such an A* student. All your preparation will benefit you greatly. Do not be stressing Anne-Marie, you will do this, and you'll excel at it.

Don't be scared. Look upon this as a new beginning were you're in control. You'll will finally have the healthy, fit body you've always wanted. You'll have the life you've dreamed of, were you are the one controlling you, no one else.

I'm dead excited for you! Get out there and get shopping! Show that fantastic little figure off! Show everyone how hard you've worked, and how determined you have been.

I am so looking forward to reading your refeed diary! I'll be getting loads of tips from you!

You're a superstar with a huge kind caring heart.

I just loves ya!

Well done on that fantastic loss!! As has been said - it's definitely more about how you feel than the number on the scales & it'll take a while to adjust to your new size & appreciate it fully in all probability.

I hope you're feeling better soon (had a bit of a nosey at your other post too...) & that the blood tests are all OK!!

Good luck with the re-feed :)
