Hi everyone. So many posts within a couple of days - it's fantastic!
I'm on holidays this week, breaking in our new puppy Bella, whom we brought home yesterday. She is a 11 week old Border Collie and she is gorgeous (and a little naughty!).
I'm on the home stretch of my refeed. Providing I don't put on over a kilo in the next few days, Thursday will be my last day. I put on 600gm this morning, but that may have been because I was little naughty and had 2 glasses of wine yesterday to celebrate the new arrival. The day before I lost a kilo overnight. It's very up and down.
I'm supposed to be reintroducing the carbs, but so far I've just had some pasta and I couldn't eat it all. 50gm cooked is not very much at all, but I ended up leaving about half of it. Tonight I might try some peas with dinner and see how that goes. I'm not eating anywhere as near as the amounts call for on the refeed - it's just far too much food.
Welcome Perthmum. As Healthymum said, it's a really good idea if you try to cut out your carbs and milk and start increasing your water intake before you start the diet. I did it for 2 weeks before starting and I lost 4.5kg and I didn't suffer headaches or hunger once I started the diet, which some people do.
Missysmum, that's great that you feel so motivated. Sounds like you will hit your goal of 30kg for xmas. How exciting! I'm a cancerian.
Myshy, I hadn't thought anything of it until you mentioned it, but yes, I have been bruising for no apparent reason. I do bruise easily at the best of times, but I usually know what I did to myself. But I've just had bruises appear.
Cryss, thank you so much for your entertaining posts. With the water, I try and drink at least 2 litres before lunch and then anything thereafter is a bonus. I don't know why, but I find it easier to drink before lunch than after.
Anyway, had better go to tend to Bella - she wants to go outside and play!

I find that if i carry my water with me every where I go I drink it, room temp is best.
