Stayed the same!!! I'm quite happy with that tbh ... it was a 6 day wi .. I haven't been to the loo (tmi) ... so there we are.
Today I've had a vanilla mousse for breakie. Having a v busy day so grabbed a maintenance bar & took it out with me, had that for lunch. Just back now for and hour before going out to dinner with some rels over from Oz. I'm sure I'll find some chicken & salad or suchlike to have. Will update later or tomorrow.
I'm doing another full week of refeed but this week I'm going to have as much as I feel I need/want rather than trying to have the stated amounts, in some cases they've been too much for me I'm sure. I've had dessert a couple of times when i didn't really want it - daft probably but I really wanted to try to do it to the letter and I guess I have because I guess sts is what it's meant to be about. I WOULD like to lose a couple more pounds if poss though.
Good news is I'm a definite size 14 bottoms in Sainsbury's Tu range (YAY!!) Have bought a new outfit from there for tonight. Might get photo taken later to upload xx

Thanks very much all x I'll upload the photo tomorrow... I have to say I think look better in the mirror than I do on photos but still - must be my eyes I suppose!
I had poached fresh salmon on a bed of salad with no dressing & 2 new potatoes (which I sent back the first time they came coz they had the butter on I'd said I didn't want ... go me!) I drank sparkling water and black coffee and I had a lovely evening!
I am going to have something else - maybe a yoghurt, fromage frais with fruit in or a maintenance choc whip, though I don't think I can be bothered making that - too late. xx
(Had from frais with a nectarine)

EEEEEEWWWWWWW! Just tried to eat an 'Irish Yoghurts' fat free diet yoghurt I got a pack of 6 of in Tescos. It was soooooooooo disgustingly sweet I couldn't eat it. YUCK!!!!!!!
I'm liking the fat free fromage frais that I never used to so I may have some of that later with a nectarine again. Must try natural yoghurt. I never used to like that either. xx
(beginning to really fancy a drink - as in a 'drink drink' but going to try to last out till I go away next week. I'd realy like to complete 2 full weeks of refeed ..... we'll see )

Hiya Jan
Congrats on staying the same. Its great inspiration to future refeeders. Thats so cool about the yoghurt. Im also not craving sweet things anymore and Ive even had to start watering down my shakes like crazy to stop them being too sweet for me. Wooohooo for changing tastebuds
What will be your tipple of choice when you have that well deserved drinky?

Day 10 Wednesday 10th June
Breakie - had a summer fruits maintenance drink for a change. I thought it was okay when I started it but about 2/3 of the way through I started finding it a bit too sweet.
I also don't think it filled me up as much as my usual 'mousse' because I didn't have it till about 11am (lay in this morning with starting work tonight) and I was ready to eat my own arm by 2.30pm. I didn't have time for anything more than a slice of turkey and a nectarine, so I guess that was my lunch ...
By tea time I was starving again! I had a piece of fresh tuna (grilled) with 4 sm new pots and some asparagus. I made a sort of sauce from ff fromage frais and fresh basil. I've prepared some fromage frais with some sugar free jelly crystals (dunno what that'll be like!) for later and I've made a sandwich with 2 pcs wholemeal bread from a small loaf, a slice of turkey, leaves, cucumber & tomato and a satsuma to take to work for in the night.
Drinks - water and black coffee.
Resolve to make sure I'm organised for lunches - I did NOT like feeling hungry!!! xx
