HI katie

Think i have a business proposition for us - a website selling teenagers past their use by date - just one problem I see between us and millions $$$$$ - where do we find any buyers lolololol Maybe it would be better to just sell their organs!! - I am joking everyone !!

Katies congrats on the great loss

Keep on - not much further to go - home straight in site.

Blessings
Shanara

Smile Hi!

Good Job Katie!

You are inspiring, no matter what. I enjoy your visits in my diary and reading yours.

You really are doing well with so much on your plate (so to speak). Kids, remodel, hubby, etc....

Look forward to reading more of your posts!

Hi all

I just love this forum and everyone to be found in it. Can ya tell the happy hormones have kicked back in hehehehe.

Ty for dropping by Koh, Louise, Jo, Shanara & Ms Jiggles

Koh, haven't been buying many clothes of late. I figure it isn't worth it as I reckon the sizes will drop quicker in this late slide to "home base" hehehe. You are right, my clothes are getting baggy, but better that than naked.

Louise, was hoping to reach refeed with you. But looks like you have won that race. (well done). I shall be avidly reading your diary watching and learning. Bring on the dancing girls wooohooo

Shanara, Unless they bring back child slavery I think we would end up paying the "buyer" to take them. hehehe you made me laugh so hard this morn. ty

Ms Jiggles, ty for the compliment. Don't forget you too will be on home straight and barreling towards refeed. and YVW this forum is full of inspiration.

Well not sure what is happening. It's not my normal mode of weight dropping but another cool 500gm went off in a cloud of urine. Not that I am complaining oh no NEVER!!! I am now 700gm off 30kg milestone. OMG I never thought I would ever reach that to be honest. But here I am, a couple of good pees and maybe a poo away. I'm really expecting some kind of intergrating time soon as that is what usually happens during TOM.

I was wondering if maybe my brain has finally got it, and decided "OK she isn't happy at 70's, nor mid 60's, lets get this over with and give her what she want". Least I'm hoping so. When they first mentioned Refeed to me by next BT, which is a week away, I thought hmmm nah too soon. But it is looking like it. Famous last words probably LOL. Only time will tell.

Here's hoping everyone is having one terrific fat busting weekend.

Katie

Hi all

Thanks for dropping by Louise, Shanara, Vee and Em

Louise, your neck must be longer than my neck LOL. What a way to celebrate refeed, but to dance our way through. Hope Melb is going well.

Shanara, oops sorry about the graphics . I promise to think before I type LOL. Looks like my slippery slope has ended (for now).

Vee, yep you're right. Where did the time go. Sometimes it feels forever, and sometimes like only yesterday. Bestest of all the kgs are gone. That's the bit I like. I'm terrified of Refeed, I don't feel ready. Still have some issues.

Em, you sure reached Refeed fast. Well done. I know, I'm not quite there, a few are closer than me. But it won't be long.....I'm scared

Well that slippery slide down has ended. This morn I jumped on, and yep back up to 67.6kg. A whole 900gm stayed with me. Not to concerned as it will only be fluid. A couple of days and I should be powering on again.

Ooops must go make my tea for tonite. Working on Blah

Hope every one has a fat busting day

Katie

Hi Katie

I hear you on the refeed. I haven't really thought about it too much as yet, cause I'm still a ways off, but I think I'm just as terrified as you are. And then maintenance...... not even going there... yet!
I guess we'll adapt and adjust as our understanding grows, especially once it is all explained to us and we use all the knowledge that is available here on the forum.

It's so great that all the kgs are gone and that we can feel so much better within ourselves.
Sorry to hear the scales were back up again today! Hopefully it means a bigger drop with the fluid all dissipates!

Vee

HI Katie,

I am sure you will handle refeed and maintenance just as you've handled the programme - well.

Ok sounds like its not as cut and dried as the programme yet I am sure you will live and learn in refeed and maintenance. katie from what I have read on other peoples diaries the fact that you don't feel ready is a sign that you are not quite there yet. Most people seem to be ready when it is actually time. So get your head clear and sail into refeed with head held high and so knowing you definitely deserve to be there!

wheh - getting off soap box now - where did all that come from? my apologies - didn't mean to offend yet still going to post it .

You have , and are continuing to do so well and i am full of admiration at what you have achieved.
Blessings to you.
Shanara

Katie, I had to go back and remember what I wrote about my neck to see why you said I had a longer neck- had to laugh and I had this vision of us with long furkey necks running along together!

Hi there, Size 10 Katie (soon to be Size 8 )

Don't get phased - it'll happen as it should - and you will be fine in refeed. Meanwhile, just enjoy those new Sizes (for a week or two ) then step (or glide, sashay, whatever...) down to your final goal !!

You were looking tanfastic in the last shots (what were you then? 14 bordering on 12? ) Hubby must be considering locking you up about now

I'm sure you will handle refeed with your usual "go-get-em" attitude. Anxiety? Nah, you don't need that - try excitement, it's far more acceptable !! And sexy

Hugs,

Koh

Good grief woman! I turn my back for a few days and you're almost ready for refeed! So happy for you!

Here's some fairy dust to get that slippery slide downward happening again!

Hi all

Thanks for coming by Tara, Vee, Shanara, Louise, Koh, and Mette

Tara, I just read that you are on your way again. So proud of you and what you have fought your way thru. Keep on going girl.

Vee, yep I think the great feeling we get when seeing all that flab melt off, is sure worth any deprivation we have ever felt on this diet. I actually have a wonderful book I bought awhile ago (only just found it) called the power of protein, by chris smith. A lot of what she says, agrees 100% with Dr Cohen. It has wonderful recipes, and ideas of how to avoid carbs along with a carb counter. I know we can get to maintenance and keep our lovely figures. It's just a matter of believing in ourselves.

Shanara, hehehe. I just jumped on it now yikes. Poor Vee. Anyway thanks for the faith. It hasn't always been easy but it's still happening. I see that you are just powering on YOU TEENAGER!!! I remember reading that b4 about refeed. So have been doing some research on it. I think the cohen's clinic is trying to rush me or something, but I'm not starting till my body says too. Gawd another soapbox moment.

Louise, gobble gobble, gobble. You had me laughing hard. Don't want to be a turkey around xmas time yikes.

Koh, not quite size 10, not really a size 12 anymore. Btwn sizes AGAIN lol. Gee ty for the compliments. And for sexy....been a loooooonnggg time since I've been called sexy (except by hubby) and he has to say that LOL

Mette, awww ty hun. That fairy dust is magic stuff. I'm not ready for refeed. The clinic is. I guess my contract runs out in 4 weeks and they want me gone. Who knows. But I'm just as hard to get rid of just like my stubborn fat LOL

Well been researching this refeed talk, and from what I have gleaned my body is not ready for it. Asy's post was quite informative. And she says, that if you start too early it's a lot harder to maintain your weight. Well that settles it for me. I'm going until my body says no more. If it's after xmas then so be it. It would be easier if I was finished b4 xmas, but if it makes it harder in the long term then not this little duck.

Almost back to my lowest. Am sitting on 66.9. Since I am going away tom and won't be back till Friday, at least 10hrs in the car. I guess I will be up by saturday as I retain fluid in cars. I already have all my meals planned etc etc.

Have been doing some shopping. Picked up some great bargains. Even wearing a skirt OMG. I'm in that btwn sizes again. But that's ok. It was great to go into a shop that showed all angles of my nearly naked body. And it wasn't anywhere near as terrifying as it used to be. I actually spent a long time in there gleaning where the last pockets are. Hhahah poor ladies had to wait. It was good to know that the last 6+ kg will get rid of these bits. I won't be perfect after, but I certainly won't be fat again.

Ok enough ranting. Hoping everyone is having a wonderful fat busting day again

Katie

Good to see you going strong, beautiful lady! I wish I was a size 12! I think because I carry my weight on my stomach, it takes a long time to get down to the next size. At least my consultant has told me that the 'problem' area is where the last third of the weight will come from! Can't wait!

I vote you don't rush! Your contract includes refeed regardless of whether you go over the 6 months or not, so you should give your body the time it needs!

Stay strong and keep smiling, pretty lady!

HI Katie

So glad to hear you feeling strong about your body and what is right for you. Think many of us got into these problems with our bodies in the first place because we listened to others and not our bodies.

You are doing so well and have come so far - worth doing the last bit well as well.

You are welcome to rant in your diary whenever you want to.

blessings
Shanara

perving @ yourself in the change rooms now...hey,
Good for you, much better than trying clothes on while fat, hard to do with your eyes clothes so you dont have to see the wide angled bum view, i think I always looked smaller in the change room mirrors, think that looks OK , buy it then get home & think OMG did I really think that looked OK!!

Hope your weekend away goes well.
keep smiling & happy days

Hi all

Thanks for dropping by Mette, Shanara and Tara.

Mette, ty for the vote. I just want to finish this right. I hear you on the tummy bulge. Mine is slowly oh so slowly shrinking. LOL. but it will get there, and you 2 will be in a size 12 before you know it.

Shanara, I agree, I've done my best and want to end it knowing I have done it right. (well from now on). My D is still back of mind.

Tara, hehe I hear ya about closing eyes during nakedness. Those lights just show EVERYTHING!!! but it gets better and better. It was too good a chance to pass up, I still have back fat Thought it all gone.

Well quick log. Does anyone here know if the initial BT covers Blood cholesterol??? I might give my clinic a quick call after this. But I have to run soon. Yikes. Time gets away when you want it slow.

Had a visit to my doctor this morn for another BT results Been giving up blood left, right and centre lately. Apparantly my Bad chol is high. Since he has no known records of my history of Chol it is hard to know if it is reducing or what. I told him I am on a very healthy eating plan but he recommends I give up beef. NO WAY NO HOW!!! I was so surprised for that return. It's not in the range to be treated with pills but it's high.

God bless him, he said, since you definitely don't have weight issues it can't be that. I had to fess up that I've lost nearly 30kgs at that stage. So he said (and I didn't like him for this) that perhaps I am nearing Menopause. WTH im 38. I don't want that yet.

Gee another rant. LOL Take care all. Shall catch up on diaries on the weekend when I am back.

Have a fat busting day everyone

Katie
