Reached goal on JUDDDD - MiniMins.com

clairejen · 21st November, 2007

After lots of ups and downs I have finally made it, scales said 9st7lbs dead this morning. I am proud to have done it, I'm not sure if anyone else on the JUDDDD thread actually got there, so I may be the first and am currently the last since there is noone else here!

It has taken a long time, I started back in June and my total loss has only been 12lbs, but when you take into account holidays, meals out, no DDs on weekends etc it is not so bad.

So maintenance begins today, although it doesn't honestly feel much different, I'll still be having a DD - just with a few more calories.

DQ · 21st November, 2007

Congratulations mate - well done!

girlygirl · 21st November, 2007

Congratulations! You did it.

Now comes the hard work of staying at goal. I'm sure you will.

clairejen · 21st November, 2007

Thank you both, I am really happy for myself but also for others to see that it can be done. Staying here shouldn't be too hard (crossing fingers, touching wood etc) as it is basically a continuation of what I've been doing for months.

DQ · 21st November, 2007

Would be great if you could let us know how you do on maintenance - really pleased for you Claire

**Barb** · 21st November, 2007

Well Done Claire - thats fantastic, so pleased for you. You deserve it, you have been determined throughout and I am sure maintenance will not be a big deal for you as you have such an organised regime on the go already!

Love

clairejen · 21st November, 2007

Thanks Barb, I've really appreciated all the support you have given me along the way.

Lyn8124 · 16th December, 2007

Congrats Claire, you made it! i remember you from the time I posted here. Think I have posted on almost every board.

Keez I will shock myself someday and actually succeed at some diet.

clairejen · 16th December, 2007

Thanks Lynn. I'm sure you'll find the diet for you, it really does seem to be a case of trying everything until one clicks, I went through quite a few myself.

Lil K · 16th December, 2007

Congratulation to you Claire

Its always nice to read that someone has reached their traget weight, whatever way they chose to do it. You definitely sound like you have a positive frame of mind, which will be great for you as you maintain.

Well done! x

clairejen · 17th December, 2007

Thanks Kirsten, I definitely took the long way round to get here but maintaining doesn't seem difficult with this diet. Or so I say now, perhaps I'll feel different after Christmas!

**Barb** · 17th December, 2007

You'll be fine Claire, I have the faith in you and in JUDDD. I think you have carved out a very sensible track to stay in and the joy of Juddd is you can overindulge and then cut right back. It sounds liek it's really suiting you.

Are you UPD on Christmas and Boxing and then DDing?

Love

KD · 17th December, 2007

I can't believe I haven't written on this thread

So pleased for you Claire!! I know how much this diet has suited you, and I can see you maintaining really well on it.

Keep us updated.

clairejen · 20th December, 2007

Barb, I'm hoping to just have an UD on Christmas day and DD for boxing day, which is never a big deal in our household. We're invited out on the 27th so I think it will work best this way. Now that DDs are 1000 calories I can be quite flexible with them, a rogue mince pie doesn't mean starvation for the rest of the day. Will you still be recording your food over Christmas?

Thanks Karion, it seems to be working OK so far. I'm trying to wean myself off the scales by weighing every two or three days and hoping to stretch it to weekly. That would be a major achievement for me. JUDDD lends itself very well to maintenance, although the Christmas extras may mean I have to cut down again in the New Year. But that's the same as most people do, I imagine. My blood pressure is officially perfect so I'm very satisfied with that, whether the weight loss or the side effects of JUDDD are responsible I will never know.

i have never heard of judddd - sounds like its about calorie cycling? really low cal days followed by normal cal days? am i right?
