Yes I am a JUDDDing newbie but do seem to be liking this and hope I can do this long term. How are you doing? Do you have a diary? You have done tremedously well to lose 27lbs - how amazing is that - I am so longing to show and feel that kind of difference. Take care.

Thanks. It's not much off in ten months but I am hoping it'll stay off the longer it takes. I have lost weight quick as lightening in the past only to find it comes back quick as lightening. So I am trying to be sensible lol.

Well so much for last week - not good. Ended up eating my way through the blue toffees in the Roses tin on the exhibition stand. I should know better than to even have them there. Then of course carried on telling myself it could be a medium day. Well that ended up as one MD, 1 DD and two more MDs aghhh! So angry at myself and have now put back two sad and sorry pounds, bugger!

So last night I made myself a huge pot of veg soup and that will be my staple for this week. I obviously have to follow Stirky's example and CC on UDs too. Sorry guys I am really letting the side down this week in the weigh in Will try to do better this week. I am not at any customer meetings so don't have to wrestle with social food. T-Minus 7 days till the beach

You'll be ok Hoe, just put that behind you (I would've been the same with the Roses mind, I'm a sucker for the toffee and caramel ones lol!) and have a great week this week. Sure once you have a couple of 100% days behind you and you're back on track you'll feel so much better and the scales will behave themselves too! Yes up days can be hard, it can be easy to go ott, I always have to watch mine lol!

At least you weighed yourself! I didn't dare. We'll do better this week!

Well I made myself some Tom Yum soup yesterday (without meat and noodles) just the veg. And whoooaaa.... does that ever go through you like a dose of salts! Might add some chicken and noodles today for an UD and see how we go.

Am discovering that so many foods are overrated when you finally come to have them on an UD and that even the craved yummy stuff seems to satisfy in smaller amounts.

Did anyone see the prog last night on breakfast cereals? I knew they were full of sugar but wow the salt content is disgusting even in something like Rice Krispies! Seems that supermarket own brands have 30% less salt and taste better. Hmmm, food for thought.

I always buy the supermarket own brands, cheaper too lol! It is disgusting the amount of salt they put in our food, bread is REALLY bad for that!

I didn't see that program, although I meant to watch it. Glad my wee girl doesn't really like cereal! She prefers scrambled or toast and I make my own bread (most of the time!) so you know exactly what's in it.

That is so much better for her I am sure. Now you've made me fancy scrambled egg! It seems that our nations kids are hooked on coco pops!

I always buy the cheaper brands cereal too as nothing lasts long in my house. Ohh I love scrambled eggs. I always have one egg and one egg white scrambled, as the yoke is the only bit with calories!
Well thats 3 of us on a 'be good mission' this week, your not alone in blowing it and good for you in gettng on the scales im like emmasmum and am far to scared.

lol you can add me to the 'be good brigade' I have been a naughty puppy today. I've been thinking of attempting to make me own soup but I have a load of Baxters to get through first.

cereals are dreadful
I have been making my own muesli for years - my friends children have 2 boxes of chocolate based cereal each week
I took round some muesli and had some grate chocolate on it (very little) and they had it with a cup of hot cocoa and loved it - now not only are they eating better but its saving them money as well

Any cereal with chocolate or sugar is banned in my house, wholegrain ones only lol!

Oh wow Aaleigha your own mueseli - that sounds wonderful. And the wholegrains Stirky - you are all such good and ethical mums. I know it 'should' be obvious but please tell me what you put in your mueseli - I would love to have a go.

Well I do not know how or what is happening but somehow I seem to be back to 7lbs gone! No idea how, as I have been far from an angel. My halo slipped and fell into a tub of ice cream last night I think maybe I have been a bit Pre-TOTM as I could chew the ear off any callers at my door LOL!

So I guess I wasted a week on the JUDDD but hell, I have wasted around 33 years before discovering this eating plan! Or it could be my battery is dying in the weighing scales - who knows but it's a DD today and a very motivated one now. Wishing you all a great day. I do admire the way so many of you seem to post on so many diaries and threads - I try to do that but please forgive me if I miss someone's.

Good luck on your dd Hoe, I'm on an up day but being as I'm feeling so lurgyfied it just as well be a dd I think lol! Will see how I feel later!

Have a good day x

My halo slipped and fell into a tub of ice cream last night

Thats so funny. Mine did the day before, it flew off and landed in the freezers at Asda. 2 tubs of Ben and Jerrys for £3! It would have been rude not to lol.
Have a great DD
