Hi all. weigh in showed a 1 pound loss this week. I'll take that. its a gorgeous day so will try fit in a walk before today's gets too mental. It's paddys weekend so am not expecting much of a loss next week, will be having a few up days in a row but hop to get back into it on Tuesday, Wednesday...

1 off for me this week.

well done Kitty.

Thanks, yes it's tomorrow.

Not sure what to do in the exercise front, might do weights again.

Hi all, DD today and last one before weigh in, which will be six days since last weigh day. So two portions of soup 200kcal skimmed milk 50 kcal egg white omelette 135 kcal kiwi

Yes all lovely food. Walked the the fields at the back of my house today for an hour for a change, was lovely. Love country air. I also only had to stop the weight training DVD once today to catch a breather. I was still puffing like mad but at the start for the week I was stopping it at least...

You're doing great.

Hi all, UD today, hurray! branflakes quiche and salad roast beef dinner have raisins, crackers with cheese and fruit as snacks didnt do any exercise yesterday and I felt really quilts. So will do weight training and go for a walk today.

Three down days eeeek! I suppose you can try it and if one of them turns into an ID it'll still be fine.

Okay enough food talk, I'm drooling!

Ye with really cold milk.

Hmmm maybe keep omelette for dinner so. Yeah the salad sounds good, or you could have the half pity for lunch on occasions instead of dinner maybe??

Omelette in the microwave?? You can do scrambled egg in microwave alright. What about a salad or porridge or cereal? I know it's lunchtime but I like cereal at anytime.

Omelette?

Looks lovely Kitty

Lol, you need sugar for that.

Haven't a clue!!

I always say if you can read you can bake! Try it, look up a basic recipe and have a go.

Sydney. Loved it, got a bit too hot though. We're moving to Canada for a year or so in September, that'll be cool enough anyhow!

All looks yummy. I love scones. Must bake some one of these days.

Isn't it amazing how the weather dictates our mood, it's completely cloud here compared to yesterday so don't feel like going walking. Might push myself later if sun comes out this afternoon. how good is that, noticing weight loss in your clothes. You are about two weeks ahead of me so I'm...

Hey girls, down day today and most likely my second last one until weigh in on Saturday. Don't know where our sun has gone. That's what I loved about living in Australia,it was always so lovely and bright, even in Winter. Food today shall be egg white omelette 135 kcal 2 portions of soup 200kcal...

I'm Saturday or Monday. eeek!

Just keep telling yourself it's just a stage!!! Oooh fostering would be fab.

Food sounds good again. It's a fab day isn't it....such a nice feeling when you feel that you can succeed on a certain diet to get to goal.

Thank you both.

Morning peeps! UD today and I'm in great form, up since six. have dinner and lunch prepped and have washing out. On the menu today is porridge and fruit Homemade quiche with salad Mash potatoes and carrot with chicken wrapped in bacon with stuffing inside snacks will be crackers and cheese...

After all this commotion don't think I'll check mine.

Aw Stef, here's hoping tomorrow will be better with lots of hugs from your little man.

Great stuff.

Ah sur i'l go for 10 pounds

So I've just done my 20min weight training DVD with a pathetic 3kg dumbbell but oh my God, I was panting like mad. At the end of it I had to run to bathroom, as TMI didn't know whether I was goon puke or go to the toilet. Feel great now it's done though and my heart is beating normally again...

Oh cheers for that, that's ideal.

I bought some pots of ready made jelly and then the packet to make myself, wanted to get an idea of portions etc. do you pour it in to the ready made empty pots? if so how many do you get out of a single packet?

so true dying to bethin i got skinny by June last year and don't know what happened but managed to gain 3 stone in 6 months!!! And I was dieting on and off the whole time in those 6 months so it's not like I ate constantly bad food for six months. But hey ho, I've learned my lesson big time, a...

Cool. You're now starting to think like a judder!

How you getting on today Marie.

Hiya, A few of us have August as our goal date. And if it happens before all the better.

Omelette? Salad? ww product? Enjoy your UD.

So couldn't do three down days in a row but other than that it sounds good.

Morning all, I'm up early and tummy is feeling empty and it's only start if my down day!! will try to ignore it until later. I bought some of those 10kcal jelly pots so will have one of those today. Menu will be soup 200kcal milk for tea and coffee 50kcal jelly 10 kcal omelette 135 kcal Small...

For sure, nothing like a challenge to keep us motivated.

Good on ya, I think it def doable.

Well done on the jeans front. I haven't worn jeans since June, cannot wait to get back in then.

Just reread your post, thought your birthday was on the Thursday. Well then maybe eat on your birthday and do Wednesday and Thursday as down days. You'll be busy packing, travelling etc so might not be too bad.

Thanks for that. Didn't know if it was just me regarding the lasagne. Will try the chicken casserole when it's on offer.

I would maybe have two down days before, then have your lovely up day for your birthday, and have the following day as an up day. I would try have one day as a down day and say to your self that you won't eat until dinner. At dinner you can decide why're to have a low cal dinner for a down day...

Oh was that nice, I've only ever tried their lasagne and really dislike the top layer.

Oh ye it on! Xx

Oh God ye, it will be def all gone by then. I have two communions in May and would love to only have a half stone left whenI go to them but that involves 3pound a week. But we could say we will have it lost by 1st August. The thing is though I won't go to the Communions unless I look skinny so...

I was thinking the same. How long do you think it will take us.

Kitty just noticed you and I want to lose the same amount if weight. That should spur us both on.

Great.

So who else is on a down day tomorrow?

Save your calories for food later on rather than a shake. I don't think there is a huge advantage to not eating anything on a dd, so have something later. lunch out, they might do a jacket potato, that would be nice, or soup and salad, or a grill. Enjoy anyhow.

Try having food instead of shakes Emma, might satisfy you better. good luck for your 3pound goal next wk.

DD menu sounds good Marie, and wow you went on a long walk today. I keep going in fits and starts so am committing to 5 walks a week from tomorrow.

God I've snacked non stop today, not unhealthy but it all adds up. It's because I'm so tired, got three hours sleep last nite which always makes feel like eating. so operation bingo bingo wings commences next week. Seriously I need it. Can't bare to look at my arms these days. will do a weight...

Thanks Marie hmmm maybe I'm being too eager with hoping for 3each week, we shall see how I go.

Thanks Stef and Welshsparkle

Just think you can eat what you want tomorrow.

I Was just going to say to u that maybe food might be better than shakes.

Kitty, how's your down day going?

At least there is about 6 of us who have started Judd within the last month so we can support each other as we find our way.

what have you eaten so today. Stick with it Hun, but the good thing about juddd is, you can always down a dd tomorrow if today hasn't worked as planned.

That all sounds lush, no need to be healthy. I don't even count calories. You might find after a couple weeks that you would rather have healthy snacks.

Hi Stef, diary is called 'I can do this' i lost 5 pounds in week one and 3 pounds this week. Happy days. aiming for 2 or three pound again this week. Yes 500 kcals is perfect.

Lol

Thanks Kitty, well I'm going aim for 3 anyhow and ramp up the exercise.

Ah well done, knew you could do it. You sound all happy now. Btw do you know can you update your stats from a phone?

3 is the magic number this wk, cos guess what, ive lost 3lb this wk 2, i wonder would it b possible to lose 3 each wk? well i'll aim for 3nxt wk and see what happens. Positive thinking and all that! Food today will be Porridge and fruit bacon, egg and beans enchiladas and oven chips Snacks are...

U are not a useless dieter, i am realy rooting for u. u did d whole wk without bread, i reckon dat wil totally aid weightloss. stick with it. i also think it good to weigh a wk.

Hi Ali, good luck for weigh in, im weighin tomoro too. u are doing so good, u are rite to stay focusd on ur diet, u'l feel all the beter for it each weigh day. u'll prob get different answers but I would call the person up on it and give them chance to be honest with others or you wil b forced...

Thats so strange, we have two aldis!

Food sounds lush.

Oh def try it so, presume they have it in England, there is chicken and veg, creamy chicken, and tomato and basil. Let me know what you think if it.

Very true

No no no don't day such things whilst I'm on a dd. although to keep my busy I'm babysitting my 2year old niece tonight so that will distract me and keep me out of my cupboards. Sister never has food in her house so I'll be grand.

Well I should make it myself but I buy the fresh soup from Aldi, chicken and veg is my favourite, it's not in a carton, but a plastic container. It is yum. 400g is 200kcal.

Two weeks, 2nd weigh in tomorrow

Hi Stef, You will love juddd, welcome aboard. Ive been to Malta, lovely place, was sooooo hot though.

Lol, still will be less calories than take out, more calories left for other goodies!!

Okay need to stop talking about food, I'm in a dd!

Yep always get pepperoni, but it usually from the freezer! my fav takeout is chips, burger and battered sausage! hate Chinese, Indian, Thai etc

We have a right little community going.

Bet your looking forward to pizza tonight, what kind you having? i love pizza too.

Kilkenny :-)

You will lose on it, I found WW very slow in terms of weight loss and I still always put the weight back on.

Will try get out for a walk later, weather is not great today

Woohoo, well done. Well that's reassurance for you anyhow. Who needs vlcd when you have Judd, delighted for you. Hope your having yummy treats today so.

Another two pounds and you are in the next stone bracket.

Woohoo,fantastic. I noticed your title had changed before I even clicked on your name. That is so great.

I'm in Ireland though so will prob be slightly cooler, my family will be over there for a few days at a wedding(my parents are English) so they will get the sun anyhow. DD today and on the menu will be 2portions of soup 200kcal egg white omelette with the usual 135kcal Skimmed milk 50kcal not...

never had that combo, must look out for it.

ye 25kcals for light but one would do al 6melba toasts that come in litle pack. hmmm what do they taste like, kinda like a thin toastd cracker. i realy like them with phily, too dry on their own. u can also get extra light.

Thats great,well done. Yipee,was lovely today, actually caught the sun a bit.

Ye the nature valley bar may not be the best choice, could leave u wanting more.how bout melba toasts with laughing cow?

Thanks Marie, I absolutely love salmon, except smoked salmon. Like al fish actually. How has ur day gone so far.

In Australid I used to use a liquid that u gargle caled Betadine(i think) Not sure if u can get it in Ireland but i find it works wonders.

Lunch was delish. Hope everyone is having a good day. I know it's only the first week of lent but so far haven't wanted or craved anything, it's like because lent is separate to a diet, I don't feel deprived. I just know I don't eat them for the next 6weeks. Hopefully it will last.

Oh get well soon.

Your dead right, I went and walked for an hour through a park. It was so hilly compared to the ring road lol.

Fingers crossed for tomorrows weigh in.

Just getting ready for a walk, first one in seven days. Think I'm going to have to just go myself in future rather than waiting rounding for a time or day that suits my sister. its a lovely day so will def do 3 miles, possibly more.

Good luck with DD today.

What a lovely and informative post Luv2BSlim

Hi all, So am waiting til Sunday for official weigh in, giving me eight days since last weigh in. On the menu today is porridge made on water with some fruit Lunch will be bacon, egg and beans (hold the bread!) dinner will be salmon, potatoes and veg Snacks will be crackers, raisins, and...

I think I'll go with Sunday, but will prob pop on scale tomorrow as well but keep Sunday as official weigh day. Hoping for 2lbs this week.

Hi Marie, Welcome to juddd. You'll love it.

Sounds lovely, healthy too.

Thanks Kitty

So what you gonna have today for lunch that doesn't involve bread?? Do you like couscous? That ps nice with salad, you could have soup and salad or a big grill, or omelette

Morning all, DD today. Ive been lazy with the exercise this week, hasn't suited my sister to come with me any day this week, so haven't gone but regardless I will go for a walk today. on the menu today is skimmed milk 55kcals 2 portions of soup 200 kcal egg white omelette with the usual 135...

You'll do fine. One day at a time.

Hi all. UD day today and first day of lent. havnt been the healthiest yet but still haven't broken lent. morning started off with a big fry up, was so yum. Dinner is chicken curry and rice I have raisins, crackers and cheese and popcorn as snacks. already eaten too many raisins, had forgotten...

Good on ya Kitty, Im looking forward to healthy up days from now on.

Hi Emmster. Thanks, just hope I can stick to it. Thanks Kitty and Willeatanything. Just as well lent starts tomoro as I ate far too much yesterday. I think it was because I knew I wouldnt be having them in a while. And of course it al looks tempting again today. Also thought of something else...

So glad ur goin to give it another go.Plus the inch loss is supposed to be great on juddd.

Oh Lord I know, not eating it for a week is hard enough, but you could say for lent that you will just have bread one day at weekend. Im thinking of giving up biscuits, chocolate and bread. I know it will be super hard but will feel great as well, and just think of Easter Sunday - nom nom

Hi all, Ooooh the smell of pancakes in this house is lush. Niece and nephew wanted them this morning. Think I'll have a couple myself tonight, as tomorrow will be a downs day. Couldn't have them this early as I find once I start eating sugar I crave it for the rest of the day. menu for today...

Just a teddy bear, which my niece was eyeing up earlier. It passes the time on down days anyhow.

Sitting here, knitting away since 8pm to keep my hands busy so don't go looking for food.

Just checked the online calculator, and I need to lose another 6pounds to go down another number on BMI. I've already gone down one number after a week so maybe these will be my goals. I have to reduce by 6 more to get to goal, this at least breaks up my weight loss goals into more manageable...

Hi all. Down day today but at least sun is shining. will do a 3 mile walk today and might even start to do some weights again, not a programme or anything, just spend 15 mins using them. Will def av to use the lightest ones I have as my strength is totally gone. Need to build it back up. So on...

Sorry to hear you're disappointed. Bet you'll have a great loss next week.

Ur goals are realistic and hopefully they won't take too long to accomplish. well done on the weight loss so far, that's brill. Here'sHere's to losing inches.

Ur doing great. Much prefer fizzy drinks from a can than a plastic bottle, taste much nicer don't they?

Good luck for tomorrow. Plenty of water will help.

Just noticed my BMI went down a number, that's a good sign anyhow.

Lol

Goal for next week is 2pounds especially if I wait til Sunday to weigh in.

Yes and cheese. Mmmm thanks though.

Did you decide on your goals??

Enjoy your nite. X

First weigh in on juddd and I'm down 5 pounds. Happy with that. I'd ideally like to get 8 to 10 pounds off each month as other wise it will take an age to lose the excess weigh. will have a bit of an indulgent up day as it's weigh in day. Ive already had brown soda bread. Love it and it's...

motivation is half the battle, we def need to be in the right head space for dieting, I want to just get into the eights and hover between there and 9stone. Have a while to go yet.

Hi kitty Yesterday went well. I don't think we need to worry too much bout the up days, just try and eat normal with a few snacks thrown in. It's the down days that work the magic I'm told. Jumped on the scales after my first week of juddd and I'm down 5lbs so I'm happy with that.

It's quiet on here today.

Doing good so far, haven't had food yet but getting peckish so will have salad shortly methinks.

Gosh good luck with that, please tell me you will eat something though.

Hi all. Gosh my legs are sore from the bit of running yesterday. Rest day from exercise today and will do couch to 5k to or morning along with walk. was doing great food wise last night til about ten o'clock , had couple of extra Rice Krispie buns, 3jaffa cakes and 2 slices of Madeira cake...

Well I haven't done that many down days yet, but from what I've heard it does get easier, and once you see the weight loss each week that will spur you on. I haven't had headaches though. It's great to know that you can eat basically what you want, sizeable portions, plenty of treats every...

Well done on the weight loss and the clothes. Great motivation.

Feeling proud. Incorporated day 1 week 1 of couch to 5k on my 3 mile journey. It was a killer but feel great now.

Your fine, don't stress about it, if you want sugar have it. You eat nothing on down days so that def counts a lot. What I would say is though, to plan your menu in morning, agrees yes that you will have some Belgian buns or whatever, and I reckon that you will automatically chose something...

Enjoy your meal out, it's an UD after all. I was going to count calories on up days but could not be bothered. Counting points used to drive me and anyone around me nuts previously. At least you have support in work. Stick with it.

Hi Ali, gosh ur not having the best of weeks, but well done for eating healthily. I find sudocrem brilliant for spots.

How's your down day going Kitty.

what are you gonna have with the cauliflower cheese. My sister loves cauliflower cheese, I can't stand it. I find if I try eliminate sugar altogether then I crave it, so I hoping avoiding biscuits will help. Lent next week so will try avoid everything but maybe have raisins as sugar substitute...

Woke up with a sty/sore in my eye. Haven't had one in years. Good excuse to gave a cuppa though!!

Thanks Kitty.

Looks like you're in for a good loss all the same. Enjoy your UD.

Morning all. UD today, can feel weigh in day getting closer! On the menu today is; fruit salad and yoghurt Omelette with 2eggs, 2whites, chicken, pepper, onion, mushroom, cheese salmon and veg snacks will be 3 Ryvita with laughing cow and and some kind of topping wispa two Rice Krispie buns...

You're off to a great start.

Hi Emma, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm only on week one myself, started Saturday. You sound determined to lose weight, that's half the battle. Best of luck.

DD going well so far, just had half my soup. its a glorious day, looking forward to going walkies!!!

Your doing great Ali.

Sorry to hear that.....you sound in control though, and if it all goes to pot, well at least it's an UD. X

Morning all. today is my second last DD before weigh in. I'm hoping that will also make me behave tomorrow and go easy on the junk. Delighted to hear that lent starts next week. I'll have to look for some snack substitutes for the eight weeks rather than junk so. Hopefully that would help weight...

How's your dd going. It's nearly over now.

Ye biscuits are a killer. I haven't touched bread/pittas/pastry/rolls etc in four days. Maybe I'll concentrate on that for first few weeks and be wary of biscuits. will prob try and eliminate them during lent. The thoughts of it!!!

Just to report chicken and veg pasta was lush, so filling too.

Hey all, Ud today and here's me thinking ah sure I don't need to count only to find myself eating some Madeira cake and about twelve biscuits plus a treat size crunchier and treat size caramel at 10.30am. Slap on the wrist given. Sensible now for the rest of the day and no more snacking and I...

Ha ha thanks

Food sounds lovely Kitty and your job sounds cool. Good luck with the down day, you'll be too busy to think about food. Good luck.

Thank you Kitty and Jucbad.

Your grand, not a problem. Only gotten back into walking last few weeks after doing nothing for about four months. Prior to that I was really, really fit and then It just got too hot to do anything(was living in Australia at the time) so now I'm starting off with walking. Want to go to gym but...

Hi Kitty, Here to subscribe. Have just read through your diary, your doing great. I can imagine its a novelty to have food now after all the shakes in down days, but it probably more nutritious in the long run. Nothing like an upcoming holiday to keep you on track.

no your right actualy 100ml is 34cal for skimmed but i only weighed first cup of tea and guestimated other 2 so im alowing for error!! doesnt look like i'll b walkin today in this rain :-(

Down Day 400g Chicken and veg soup spread out over day 200kcals Small Salad(salad leaves, cherry tom,red onion,grated carrot) 60kcal 3egg white omelette, with 10g low fat cheese, mushroom, onion, red pepper 125kcals 100ml skimmed milk for tea 55kcal Total 440

Thanks guys. need the rain to stop by 6.45.

How are u doing today Ali?

U sound like ur doin great. Yep down day today, just had 100kcal worth of soup. plannin a walk at 7pm

I have a huge 3stone and 2pound to lose and when I do lose it I am determined to say within a 5lb range, sick of yo-yoing. getting hungry now so soup or salad methinks.

Go you and the scales! That's great. i went a bit over board too yesterday, should of calorie counted the biscuits before scoffing them. Lesson learned! hope your doing ok without food, I haven't eaten yet but will at some.

Hi all, Thoroughly enjoyed my UD yesterday without going too over board, I did eat too many biscuits though, so def need to work on that. Think I'll try give up both biscuits and bread, as I can eat copious amounts of these once I get a taste. So it's my second down day today, have 467cals to...

Omg Ali, just joined the juddd buds yesterday and read some of your diary. I actually cannot believe your OH even thought that, let alone said it. What a low life. my heart goes out to you, how determined must that make you feel to actually get to target and have a hot man on your arm as you...

Three down days should yield you a good loss all the same. I am in a hurry to lose weight, for my own sanity! But couldn't stick to a shake diet,so I'm hoping this will work reasonably quick, plus with added health benefits.

Hi, Good luck on the no eating. Is it a down day for you today then? I just started yesterday, trying to stay in control on a an up day as well as a down day.

Thanks.

Just woken up all ready to climb mountain with boyfriend but the weather is too bad. Will postpone and hopefully get to climb it on Wednesday. I had the nicest sleep and woke up feeling refreshed, delighted that was able to stick to down day calories yesterday. Whilst I still have to weigh...

Currently doing out my shopping list, an thinking of substituting shakes with soups and salads maybe. I've also realised I can eat the same dinner as my boyfriend on an UD rather than making two different meals, and still be on track. what does everybody else eat on down days? Do you eat/limit...

So going well so far. Have had two shakes and am feeling a bit hungry. I'm drinking some tea now to take the edge off before another shake. Wet, dreary day so have not done any exercise BUT have a very active day planned for tomorrow.

Hehe, def not malicious.

I'm thinking about tomorrow and my ud calories are 1800. I'm thinking it will be better to have three decent meals and two/three healthy snacks. Well my last snack of the day will prob be a little indulgent. ideally I would like to have a big salad for lunch with mackerel or chicken thrown in...

Hi all, I'm starting fresh today on juddd, have previously done so many other diets and am thoroughly sick of the yo-yo effect. I have put on a lot of weight and now is the time to lose it. I have been avoiding social outings on a major scale due to embarrassment about my size. Also my fitness...

Right ladies I'm back again after a false start last week, just cudn't handle the new you products, they were vile......so i'm starting nupo today which i taste tested yesterday, and its yum.just sticking with shakes for this week, and may very well try their bars next week. im wiping my social...

Today is day 1 of my tfr vlcd 'new you'. I woke up so excited to start this diet and rid my self of 30pounds. food so far has been: porridge - this smelled awful and didnt taste great at all, managed to eat half of it. veg soup - again not great I have two more meals today so hoping for...
