Refeed and Holidays – Byeeeeeeeeeeee!
Just a quick update as I really need to go and get packed as I am going on my holidays in the morning!! We are going to Santa Monica… never been there before so I am very excited and looking forward to relaxing. 🙂 This is a picture of Santa Monica pier, it is beautiful isn’t it!!
I decided to refeed last week, as it was Isabella’s Christening on Sunday, and I felt it was the right time and the right thing for me to refeed and enjoy this day with my family. Plus we had a bbq organised, which is perfect food really to keep to the low carb diet that I will be following.
Here is a picture of Isabella on her big day…
It was a great day, and something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I wasn’t well after giving birth and then Isabella was in splints for several months at the beginning of the year. So it was nice that I weighed almost 6 stone lighter than I did in November and we are grateful that Isabella’s treatment on her hips worked and she is fine now too. I felt great on the day!!
I am enjoying my refeed and finding it very easy so far! I love lettuce!!! lol 🙂
I will be back on Total Food Replacement when I come home from holiday to lose the last 2 stone or so… I want to be in the healthy BMI range, and although I am a lot more comfortable and wearing size 12/14 I want to be wearing size 8/10 ideally. The big challenge for me is to stay healthy on holiday and maintain my weight.
I might be posting when I am away, if you are interested in seeing some photos of us on holidays shout out in the comments section of the blog and let me know!!
I am also considering starting a refeed blog, but I probably won’t have this here as I don’t want to distract people who are on total food replacement, if you would be interested in me keeping a refeed blog let me know, if there is enough interest then I will definitely start one. 🙂
Right I better go and get packed… at least I am packing size 12 and not size 22.
hi Julz, firstly wat a cutie Isabella is!! so happy ye had a gr8 day for her b-day /christening! Secondly enjoy ur much deserved break!!have an amazing time!
I just wanted to say how brilliant this website is and the secret slimmers!Such gr8 support and inspiration every time i need it! Still can’t believe im a success story myself!! Thanks so much for helping me change my life for the better X
Awwww Lisa, thank you so much for you lovely words, your success story is amazing, I can’t wait to you get to ultimate goal you will be a cover girl! 🙂 Thank you so much for being part of our community, and you inspire me so much too! We will have to have a big new you get together some time soon when we are all at our goals! 🙂 xxx
Julz she is soo sweet she looks like she got over her bug in time to enjoy the day. I would love a refeed blog when you get back as its a bit daunting thinking of refeeding I did lipotrim but put on all the weight within a few months but looking back I lost it far too fast this plan has been a steady 2-4lbs every week after week one so that definitely has to be good. Have a great holiday talk when you get backx
Hi Margaret, yes we were so relieved she was ok, she was sick that morning, but then she just perked up and had a really good day, it was lovely 🙂
I am sure you will be grand with refeed, we have the diet plate now, which I recommend you use to help you with portion control. And plus we have the momentum maintainers group on facebook where you can get support and tips from all the other people who are successfully maintaining after total food replacement.
Love
Julz xx
Oh my goodness, your daughter is absolutely gorgeous.
I can’t belive you are here, can you call me so we can get together.
My number is 805 390 5672.

Hi Dawn!! We have every day planned so sorry I wont be able to meet up with you, but thank you so much for the kind offer!! I am LOVING IT HERE!!! I could move here, so you never know, maybe I will be able to meet up with you then!! Such a beautiful place!! Where abouts are you? xx
Hi Julz, what a beautiful picture of Isabella. Have a fab holiday. It must be so exciting heading away 6 stone lighter. I would love the refeed blog, I am still waiting to be added to Momentum maintainers, I did email Amy and she said she would add me but I have heard nothing since. Since starting to refeed I so miss the support of the girls in secret slimmers but dont want to be leaving comments about how I am doing or what I am eating as it is not fair to those on tfr. So you have my vote for the refeed blog, ASAP!!!!
Hi Aileen, I love this photo of Isabella <3. We are having a great time so far on our holiday, really loving Santa Monica!!
I hope Amy got you sorted with MM, but email her again if she hasnt as I am sure she will get that sorted pronto for you.
Good luck
Julz xx
Oh Julz, your daughter Isabella looks so adorable and happy, a lovely child. Have a brilliant holiday, Santa Monica looks beautiful and I’m sure you will have a great time there. And as you say you are now half the size you used to be so that’s great, must be an amazing feeling. Will be with you when you get back on your last bit of the journey to lose the last of the remaining extra weight. I really enjoy the Secret Slimmers society, it’s been a great inspiration and it’s kept me going so far. I’m so happy to be a part of the New You group and hope that all the people feel the same. Thanks for all our videos, blogs and leaflets, they have been very helpful. Think refeed group is a good idea, but might have to do it separate to the SS group as people still doing TFR or some just beginning so don’t want to get too distracted by people who are eating real food, it’s a great idea though. Maybe a blog? 🙂
Hi Monika, we have the Momentum Maintainers so anyone doing the diet plate will be posting in that group as we want to keep Secret Slimmers a food free sanctuary xx Thank you as always for you kind comments, Isabella is a wee cutie – I love her sooo much 🙂
I do feel much better, but I cant wait to get the last couple of stone off!! I will be back with you on TFR soon xxx
