Oh Kat, between you and Belnatjas you guys will be in Refeed next week.

The last week is a ***** mentally and physically but I know you two are strong willed women and will get through this.

Can't wait to cheer you on in refeed!!!!!!!!!xxxxx

Hey Kat!

You sound like you are in high spirits!! haha, regardless of the refeed symptoms!

Have you had a chat to your clinic about refeed yet? I am due to go in on Thursday... but I think I still have even more kilos than my ticker says to go...

Hi Lesley and Missy,

Thanks for dropping in and lending some sanity and support! argh!

So I spoke to the clinic yesterday and after I told them about being hungry, my hair falling out is on the massive increase, slow weight loss, starting to get dizzy, cold etc... they think that yup, it is time to order my refeed program......

I am due blood tests next Tuesday anyway, my clinic appointment was the following Monday and they have changed that appointment to a refeed appointment because I said I really wanted to get under 60kgs before refeed!

My clinic said they are happy to keep it at that BUT if I feel like I can't take it any more, go and do my blood test any from from now and call them to change my refeed appointment to be sooner! They were happy for me to do it yesterday!!

man o man. I can't believe it. REFEED! I have almost made it!!! I feel like it has snuck up on me a bit. There I was bowling along nicely last week and yesterday WHAMO it just slaps you in the face. Your body definately tells you when it is ready, doesn't it!

Last night I just could not wait to get to bed. I felt absolutley exhausted for the first time on the program, with the exception of my first few detox days. As a matter of fact I felt almost the same yesterday as I did the first few days of the program, tired, hungry, light headed.

I am going to give it everything I have got to try and make it to the appointments I have booked and hopefully perserving will see my weight get under 60kgs. The clinic said that they are confident that I could do refeed and then alter my maintenance to get a couple more kgs off... I will see how I go. One day at a time, see what my body says.... Please be nice body, I will listen to you, just give me a bit more before we stop! hahah (add mentally insane to refeed signs and signals)

Will keep you posted...

Kat OUT!

Holy Guacamole!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I have dismissed myself as mentally insane yesterday having a nice quiet word with my body but at the risk of sounding like a COMPLETE nut job, I think this is a recommendation to go have a quiet word with your body.....

When I stood on the scales yesterday 61.5kgs. When I stood on the scales this morning THIS MORNING - 60.5KGs!!!

One quiet slightly insane word to my body...
One day...
One kilo...

I sh*t you NOT!!

I am in shock.

Good happy SHOCK!

MissNix · #**165** 17-03-2010, 13:11

Ha ha that's fantastic Kat - I can just imagine the conversation I love it... and may just give it a shot myself

Well done you!

this..is..it! · #**166** 17-03-2010, 13:15

Hey Miss Nix,

Thanks for popping in.

I feel like, 'it's so crazy.......it might just work!'

hahaha!

Note to body: Thank you for listening to my plea yesterday, I really appreciate it! Not long to go now I promise xx

(Ok - call the white truck now folks, we have a live one)

Congratulations T.I.I, very very happy for you ....

I might try your technique and see how it works for me. I lost 700g this week, and have 2.2kg to go til I plan to start refeed.
I have my blood test this afternoon.

this..is..it! · #**168** 17-03-2010, 13:53

Hi Belnatjas,

700gms is fantastic!! Good for you!

So you are having your blood test today, good luck with it. When are you booked in to get your refeed program?

I can't wait to hear all about it! Until this morning, I have just felt like I was never ever going to get there!! Now I feel like woo hoo, my blood test is next week and I am looking forward to it!

Good luck

sweetie · #**169** 17-03-2010, 13:57

Wow,
You have done so well. Good luck on the re-feed

Chat soon

lil_doll · #**170** 17-03-2010, 14:03

LOL Kat... you're hilarious! haha... "we have a live one" LOL!

Yay for the drop, and I too will have to employ your tried and true method of body talking... haha. I think I'll pull myself aside tonight and have a quiet word. haha.

xoxo
Missy

giddyupgirl · #**171** 17-03-2010, 14:11

woo hoo, well done

My body certainly needs a few stern word levelled in its direction, will have to get onto that tonight.

miss_nat · #**172** 17-03-2010, 15:35

Hi Kat,

I've just been reading through your diary and catching up on your progress. Well done! You're so close now and I can't believe you've done it all without telling your husband.

I LOVE the suggestion that we all "have a quiet talk to our bodies". I also liked that you thanked your body... "Note to body: Thank you for listening to my plea yesterday, I really appreciate it!" It made me think of this wonderful blog I was reading today where we borrowed an idea from a lady called Leah Dieterich and all posted thank yous. I'd encourgae everyone to have a read, its just lovely and very theraputic.

Hi TII,

Woohoo !! Go you !!

Yeah, I've heard things can/do slow down near the "end" of Plan, and the start of refeed. Certainly sounds like "It's a-comin' for ya !!"

Just thought you might like to read Asy's view on "when to start" - it's an interesting read - may be of some use to you, or not - no worries either way...

http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=257652#post257652

What a wonderful overnight drop - must've put a smile on your face, and a bit more steel in your resolve too, most likely

Rock on - This certainly Is It !!

Belnatjas · #**174** 17-03-2010, 19:55

Hey T.I.I,
I am not sure when I will get my program, hopefully soon, but I have decided to hold out til I get to my magic number (65kg) ... but having said that I am allowing myself 2 more weeks to attain this, I am not sure I could stand (or my husband!) more than 2 weeks of cranky me!
Will let you know what happens with refeed th

Thank you to everyone for stopping by my diary and for your words of support!

Sweetie - You have only got 5kgs to go yourself! Not far to go now, Good for you!!

Missy - Did you go have some words? LOL

GUG - Thx for your encouragement

and I hope your body listens to your requests!

Miss Nat - I checked out that link, AWESOME thankyou I love it! Not only did it put me to rest that I am not the only crazy person thanking crazy things (like my body haha) it was actually an uplifting, feel good read!

Koh - Thanks for your link too. I had a look at it and I am def going to do my best to leave my appointments as is. That would mean I most likely would be starting refeed Tuesday 30th March. I am def hungry. While some would say I don't have any more fat resources, I am confident there is a little to go and I am also not at my goal yet. Sooooo.... I am yet to concrete in that 2 out of 3 main signals. Although, no mention about SIGNIFICANT hairloss?? Anyhoo my plan, my plan, is Tuesday 30th March! Woo Hoo!

Again thanks HEAPS for popping in everyone. I feel very encouraged thank you!

Have a wonderful day!

PS - I weighed again this morning (um ma!!) and I was down another 200g! Not going to change my ticker until next Monday now....

KAT OUT!

Kohinoor · #**177** 19-03-2010, 18:12

Hi Kat, "body whisperer extraordinaire"

Aw, darl, you set all the dates you want - but be ready to "drop the plans" if those final refeed signs start SCREAMING at you !! You don't want to drop the ball this late in the game... Anyway, your clinic is KEY in this section of your journey - so be their newest best friend

Like Lil_Doll, you are at the pointy end (with the emphasis on end) - Don't get too hung up on "a weight" - when your body yells "Time!!" it's time, y'know?

Hairloss is quite common - and, towards the end might show up even more - but you wouldn't want to gauge "start of refeed" by counting how many hairs were lost last night, would you?

How accurate are you at counting, and, how many went "down the drain" BEFORE you could count them? Gard, what a nightmare !!

You'll be sweet, TII - you're within coo-ee of goal (get that refeed ordered quicksmart, just so you KNOW it's ready when you are)

Hugs,

Koh

AHEM................................

59.5 KILO'S TODAY!!!

Wow. I am so almost done it is not funny.

I am having my blood taken tomorrow and I am meant to be in the clinic MONDAY WEEK... truth be known fellow cohenites, I don't know if I am going to make it. I am thinking I might call the clinic and ask them to contact me when my program comes in.

WHY?

Because:
1. I am so stinking hungry I could eat a HORSE and chase the jockey.
2. That one kilo loss in the past 5 days has taken away most of those 'fat stores' there is still some, but how picky/obsessed do I want to be?
3. 3 people in the past 24 hours have told me that my face has changed dramatically in the last few days. "I look very thin in the face" one of those people asked me to not take losing weight too far and another asked me if I am ready to stop because I am looking really thin now.
4. MY HAIR!!! OMG I am shedding like nobodies business! IN CLUMPS!!
5. I am so moody AND I know my body is now feeling a bit of stress (other than the obvious hairloss) I am today feeling like anxiety flutters in my chest. I have only ever felt this weird feeling under EXTREME pressure/stress situations.

Losing weight was never about becoming a stick object to me. I always had in mind I just wanted to look fit and healthy. I could quite easily take the attitude that I am not at my 'number goal' but I think it is a fine line to being focused on achieving a goal and obsessed? hmmm

I don't want to be obsessed. I am a little disappointed if I don't 'finish' what I set out to acheive but at the same time, it was never meant to be about a number for me. It was meant to be about how I felt and seeing myself as fit and healthy looking! So deep breath in Kat, breathe out and let the number go..................................

gone.

Koh - thanks for your wisdom. I am ready to drop all the dates and just go with the flow. Whenever that program arrives, I am on it! Okey Dokey?

Now off I go, because as I was loggin on I saw a Missy Refeed Diary!! Wicked! Off to celebrate with my mate!

Kat Out!

lil_doll · #**179** 22-03-2010, 13:50

Yay Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, you sound ready ready ready, you should definately call your clinic!

When I saw my consultant she said 'why didn't you tell me????'... and I actually had!!! haha, but anyway, you are right it is NOT about the number, that is why we are given a range, cos no one can know what is 'perfect'... only our bodies know! So, trust it!

I'm sooo excited for you! I would LOVE us to be in refeed together!!!

Can't wait to hear how you go!!

xoxo
Missy
