Thread: Newbie re-attempting JUDDD!

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum but have been lurking for years and as of this Monday I restarted JUDDD in hope to lose around 30lbs! I've previously done it before (last summer) and managed to lose around 12lbs in about 2 months and a bit but since I started university the weight has been hard to scare off! This diet really did help me lose weight effortlessly; I still ate like a pig on my up days but always stuck to my DD calories.

I started this diet (or eating plan rather), weighing in at 139.8lbs, now I'm at 135.8 - my last weigh in was on Thursday. This means I've lost 4lbs this week so far which I'm extremely happy with! My goal weight is 110lbs (I'm only tiny - 5"0). I have failed and given up on many many diets, main reason is because I set my expectations way too high and I'm very impatient. This time round I'm setting myself small frequent goals instead of looking at the overall picture... Slow and steady wins the race and all that jazz! Therefore I have no set goal date because I refuse to rush this, this may be a long emotional train wreck of a journey but it will be worth it in the end!

Here's a few things I want to stick to while I reembark on this again:
-Drinking 32oz of water daily
-1 hour of cardio every UD
-Strength training every UD - it's muscle that burns the fat after all!
-Cutting out white carbs - this isn't particularly tricky for me as I love wholewheat produce however when I visit home family always have white bread, etc argh!
-Weighing every morning after DD

I really wish I had joined this site earlier, maybe this will be the push I need to stick to this because I know it really works for me!

Saturday DD

breakfast -N/a
Lunch- N/a
Dinner - Spag bol
Snack - whole orange

Today was a hard day! I tried my best to just use my calories in one meal as sometimes that works out better for me. I find that spreading out meals leaves me so hungry by the end of the day and I end up not being able to sleep because of hunger. I'm still stupidly hungry, however did have a small portion of spag bol. Tomorrow is an UD but I have a memorial to attend. Still intend to do some form of exercise. I'll probably attempt the gym early in the morning so it's done and out the way and do some strength training in the evening. Will also weigh in tomorrow and update

Goodnight!

Welcome to the forum look forward to getting to know you

Thank you
Yesterday was an UD full of much indulgence. I definitely overate but a lot of it was due to being out with family and lots of food available. I did manage to go to the gym for 1 hour before hand and definitely worked a sweat. Weighed in this morning, which I really should'nt have and came in at 137.2lbs I know I shouldn't have but I wanted to know how much damage I did haha so I'm up 1.4lbs! Yesterday was full of a lot of icecream and some alcohol, plus I really didn't drink enough water. Also, things haven't been moving frequently enough in my digestive system so once that's cleared up hopefully I'll weigh less.

Todays a down day and it's half 3 in the afternoon. Still haven't eaten a thing! May just snack on some fruit today as I don't feel like eating full meals due to yesterday haha. I think from now on I'll only be weighing after every DD, that way I won't feel like crap!

Everybody is different but if weighing after an up day makes you feel bad don't do it . I have major weight swings and know it so don't mind weighing every day ( well except for today when I sts after a dd lol)

Definitely, I'll be sticking to weighing in after every DD otherwise I'll be depressed all the time lol

DD today, was lovely surprisingly easy too. I'm hoping to not go too crazy with calories again tomorrow but I'll be heading for the gym first thing in the morning again (best feeling ever)

Monday DD

Breakfast - N/a
Lunch - few slices of mango -67 cals
Dinner -2 spring rolls - 178 cals
- Sweet chili turkey pieces - 50cals
Snacks - Muller corner - 155 cals

450/500

So much for snacking on fruit!
