Hey Mettee
What a journeyit has been for you and I'm glad that I have been apart of it from the start to this very exciting next chapter. A huge congratulations to you and I'm looking forward to following your refeed journey with you. A 'slim body' needs a 'slim mind' - but you have this down pat - you are going to breeze through refeed and maitenance. Take care and have a great weekend
Kath

Katie, Jo, Ellabelle and Kath, thank you so much for visiting!

Wauw. This is strange. My last day before the next part of the journey begins. You know, I remember reading through diaries 6 months ago and being so jealous of those people who were close to goal. I guess part of me never really thought I would get this far, and yet here I am. As you said, Kath, what a journey it has been. I've learned a lot about myself, good things and bad, and I finally think I'm at a point where I'll be able to apply this to a permanent change in my lifestyle. I've said goodbye to who I used to be, not only in terms of the weight, but the way I dress, getting out of a job I hated and generally having a much more positive outlook on life.

I am feeling very sentimental and emotional, and I apologise for the sappyness of this post. But I would like to thank each and every one of you who have followed my progress on this journey. Your support, compassion and encouragement through the good, the bad and the ugly has meant more to me than I could possibly tell you. To have a place like this where I can spout whatever is on my mind and follow the journeys of others in the same position has been the biggest help and joy. Well... Second biggest, if I'm honest. Keith has provided tireless encouragement, understanding and love, and I really could not have done this without him. He's the best thing that ever happened to me

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you guys rock! Stay strong and keep smiling everyone, you all make this forum the wonderful place that it is!

So tomorrow the refeed starts, and along with it a new diary! Hope you all come visit!

Big fatmelting hugs to you all!

Hi Mette,
I got a little misty-eyed reading your last diary entry. Thank you for all your support and for the never-ending fat melting hugs. I'm sure you will kick refeeds butt and I'm looking forward to your new diary.
Congratulations!!!!!

Mette,
Congrats on your refeed. How exciting a new venture starting tomorrow.
Silly how we have mixed feelings leaving our comfortable weightloss diary to go to a new refeed one. You will be fine and we will still visit you to see how you are going. You have been wonderful to so many. Thank you.
Michele

Wow Mette,

You have had an amazing journey and this part comes to a close and the next part - refeed - opens up.

Mette - thanks for all you contribute to the forum. You seem to be an endless source of optimism and support for all on the forum.

Congratulations for all you have achieved and I am sure your refeed journey will be just as graceful and wonderful. Your family in Denmark are going to be very surprised when they get to see you in person.

Well done beautiful woman,
Shanara

Hey Babe

In honouring the fact that you are starting refeed today I decided to revisit your photo gallery and view the transformation that you have made. You are truly amazing girl, you have come so far and look sooo great. Your friends and famiy will be blown away by how far you have come on your journey when you go home.

The refeed is the next journey and you will rock it, and will come out the other end smiling and slim and totally in control of your body. Sounds fabulous doesn't it??

I will be following your refeed with huge interest, hopefully I will be there fairly soon to join you.

Enormous emotional hugs

Jo

Wow Mette, biggest hugs and congratulations to you.

You have truly been an inspiration to a lot of us on the forum. You can bring people up when they are feeling down.

I look forward to continuing to read your refeed diary. BTW, how many days refeed is it? What are you going to do with all that extra food

Hi Mette - I'm still making my way through your diary - phew!!! - there's a few pages you have here - although I have seen your photo gallery, and a photo taken recently with Vee when you were in Brisbane, and WOW!!! - they speak volumes. What a wonderful wonderful thing you have done for yourself and you look just fantastic, a very attractive lady indeed, and clearly a much more happy and confident one as well.

Thank you for all the support that you give me and for providing me with the belief that this program works. I have a long way to go but thanks to you and others I fully believe that a day at at time I will also eventually reach my goals as well.

I look forward very much to following your journey though re-feed and into maintenance. As Kath said, you have a slim mind to go with your slim body which takes just as much work as the actual weight loss.

You have changed your mindset and behaviours and can only go from strength to strength now, and unlike others here who unfortunately lose the weight but simply become slim people with fat minds that go on to struggle and sometimes regress, you will sail forward in your life with continued freedom and wellness.

Well done Mette - and continued success.

Warmest Regards, Nick

Congrats Mette, I'm so happy for you! I know what you mean about feeling jealous on the refeeders, I'm a very impatient type of person and I find myself often wishing I could fastforward a few months ahead. But you are finally there, I hope there is a huge grin on your face and enjoy every bite of that well deserved refeeding meals!

Love
Liddie

WOW Mette -I have been looking around for your diary and couldnt find it until now - IN THE COMPLETED SECTION!! You have come such a long way and I bet you are sooo proud of yourself (and rightfully so!). Like you - I read around at all these people who have completed their refeed, all skinny and beautiful and I am so jealous and think that it will never be me - well now I am jealous of YOU! I hope to be where you are in the coming months - thanks for the inspiration and support!
