That's so true and to be honest, I have been working my weight since June 2011 and dropped a lot. Now it's Easter coming up and I will fast today Tuesday and take a break over the holiday. I hope I don't destroy to much of previous efforts. I don't have to bloat away totally.

This week will be not much of 5:2, Easter with brunch on Saturday and all the preparations. I think I skip it this week

Another successful week as I dropped 3.3 lbs :stickdance: It's funny though, looking back +1.1 -1.3 +0.4 -2.6 +0.4 +2.2 -3.3 Total result = -3.1 Is it me or the scale?

Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in? Is this really a DD meal?? It sounds sooo good I do 2½:4½ schedule at the moment and eat just 500cal once on a DD. That' s usually an omelette on thee eggs and some veg in it.

WOW, I'm so impressed. What a transformation, you ROCK babe :cool:

That's fantastic ... great for you :)

Good luck on that :-)

Hi Crazyfool, how did it go? (back from PC meltdown)

I'm glad for your results. Cold has got me too last week, but I wish I had lost weight in the same time. I bounced up more this week (actually Friday last) 2.2lbs. You have to be strong to hang in.

That sounds good, I'll see if I can give it a try

Hi, I'm back. What? Well ... I had a SSD hard drive break down this week and had to restore the whole PC. So what's new in the world of losing weight. Not much as I gained (2.2lbs) for the second week in a row. It goes down and bounce up again. But in the long run I have to remind myself I am...

Thank you Rach, one needs to keep the spirit up. :D

Last weeks 2½:4½ went well and I'll give it another try this week. The weekend was nice with good food (lamb stew) and a wine tasting evening with good friends on Saturday. Back to fasting today.

Well, I dropped big time the week before and I usually bounce back up a bit, so in my mind it was a good result.

Me neither actually, that's why I was so surprised. By the way, I survived the week so I'll give it a try again.

At home :D. Just kidding. Stockholm, Sweden

Up 0.4lbs this week, not so bad

So weigh-in this morning. Up 0.4lbs. Not too bad as I drop so much last week, it's about the same. Looking back at the week, the eating looked like this Monday-fast: Pasta with 2 slice of ham and three mushrooms. Actually (to be honest) I went to Whisky tasting activity in the evening. Not...

It might work ... i'm into the last day now and I can tell you. I am hungry. :o But, it probably due to that I "forgot" to eat dinner last night. We was rehearsing with the band and I went strait to bed as we didn't finish until late.

Hi Rach, how's your daughter? and how did you do with the scale? I cross my fingers for you.

Great, well done :).

I'm trying 2½ : 4½ this week. That means I will have no breakfast and no lunch on Friday, then have my usual weekend. Let's see how that goes

No, I think it will work just fine if you can fix it

Thanks to you all. I had a good weekend feeling more slim than for ever, now I'm looking forward to Friday weighing

I support you too Rach :D

Today I'm happy :bliss: I have lost 2.6 lbs since last week. Have I crushed the barrier? Never mind, a good weekend is in front of me

Hi Lexie Can you please what MFP is? :o

Thank you for clearify. There are so many diets out there, but I stay to regular food and 5:2

Just listening in .... hmm .....

YES and that is today :D

Is ketogenic diet the same as LCHF?

Hi magicjellybeans Welcome to this thread, even if I am not the person starting it ;). Yes losses come over time, rapidly at first but then it might slow down. Personally I am on a plateau right now, hoping for the scale to nice to me tomorrow.

Yes do that. It's so tasty that the rest of my family want me to cook for all. But, it's reserved for ME, ME and ME :cool:

It sounds like you are on a great track there. I might need to follow that. I usually go by regular food, but count them down to roughly 500 cal. For example I take 100g of pasta, 50g of light creme fraich, 30g onion, 30g ham, mix them together and spice it up. It tastes great and is still...

Let try again HELLO ... hello ... hell ... he

Ok, so my first broken DD happened yesterday. I was to visiting an art gallery and my company needed to have something to eat before the visit and I hadn't time to eat anything during the day. I cracked and had a dinner at the restaurant, way over any 500-600 cal. I have to see if it ruined this...

There's a lot of abbreviations going on here, does anyone have a dictionary? :D

Hi Obviously I didn't catch the keto thing ... sorry about that :)

Hi Rach I hope you find the strength to hang in there and find a way to keep on. Best to you

I've been stuck for 4 weeks now and sadly (but fun) I was invited to a restaurant dinner yesterday to which I couldn't say no. Even if it was my DD. I am thinking of trying 2½:4½ fasting next week.

News on the daughter matter. It seems to be false alarm. Hmmm ... how come I hear you think (I posses weird skills). Well, it turns out that a girl in her class is very jealous at her over a boy in the same class, and she told a story of them "probably" using drugs. Now she has come forward and...

Way to go ... you have my support

One day off shouldn't hurt :), thanks about the Tea recommendation

I feel I'm stuck around 244lbs and need new ideas

I cross my fingers for you :)

Yes, please advice on that Tea, I think I could use that too

Is there any 2,5:4,5 diet? Monday, Wednesday and half Friday

A new thought. What do you think about 2,3:4,5 diet? It work like this. Fasting Monday, Wednesday and half Friday, you get the dinner meal that day.

THAT'S GREAT Good for you. Whats did you do this week to get that good result

Sad to read that about your son, but am glad things has turned around for him and I hope you have got some life back. I still don't know weather I can relay on my daughters story and her claim that she's innocent, but we will see what help we can get. Thanks again for your support

You are right and I have ... I'm very scared to be honest that she ends up in wrong company, but I have help. Thank you for support

Set back or not, really don't know. Todays weight 244,7 = 0.4 up. That's more or less standing still, but considering the travels this week, it might be OK

Im fighting all day long. Just realized this morning that I standing still in my weight. A new thought ... do you think 2,5:4,5 would work? That would mean fasting on Monday and Wednesday and only eat dinner on Friday?

Hi your so right about that :-) I stayed one night in London yesterday and I saw this BIG Mars bar freee of charge in my room. It was my fast day so I could resist it, but put it in my suitcase for later. This morning I saw the bar and I thought WHY? Why should I bring it with me? Everytime I...

Yes, in my opinion I think you eat too little. The risk is that you will gain weight as your body will go in to starvation phase instead. Eat regular food and try to cut done on fast carbs = sugar. But, that's my opinion.

I'm actually nervous about weighing in tomorrow. X your fingers

Yes, I do the same, bed early, trying not to think about the lovely breakfast the next day. I try to focus on the "need to do", then a fall asleep faster.

Great, I'm really glad for you. Well done. My comment came from my suspicious side and it pops up now and then. :)

Thank you for your questions, I like it :-) I'm from Sweden and play Bass in a Rock/Blues band I suspecting that she is using drugs. Any ideas to handle it??

Hi Rachgleeson, I completely agree with KittyBling about the headaches, it will pass. I'm also freezing a lot on the evening. Do you?

So now the weekend is over and I'm exhausted. I'm having a daughter who is misbehaving in school, so I had to bring her home and talk some sense in her. Do you think that's possible with a 18 year old? I guess not. First fasting day yesterday for this week. It was not easy, and I was a bit dizzy...

Hello .... hello .... (echo) It's still silent in here ... hmmm ... strange. Where is everybody?

It sounds hard to fast three days in a week, might try it though if I don't move my weight downward.

Well done all of you losing all that weight. (I wonder where it goes though) anyway ... Do you think the sizes on cloths are the same today as they were 10 years ago?? I know you are doing great, but I still wonder if the clothing manufacturers are messing with the size labeling? Any thoughts?

Hmm ... I wasn't sure about that difference. Then JUDDD is not what I do. Thanks for clarify

Hi jacci48 Thank you for posting this, I certainly will hug my mum next time I see her. She's not so well and you can never tell about the nearest future. My dad passed away 8 years ago and I still remember his last telephone call to me. He wanted to say something important but I couldn't hear...

The scale WAS NICE :D , I dropped 1.3 lbs

I cut my hair this week ... do you think it helped on my weight loss this week :D

Hoe are you doing on that 5K run?

Friday and no scale in sight ;) Let's plan for a nice Friday evening dinner and some red wine. I think it will be a Petite Sirah from McManis.

Hi, can you share the recipe for the chicken? It sounds good

I love that you are trying. One meal a day works fine for me and I also look forward to here what everybody else thinks about it.

Great, now I'm back om track and have lost 1.3 pounds since last week. :D By the way, I had a haircut yesterday, I would if that have something to do about it???:rolleyes:

Great mom you have there Hellie :-). But I understand your feelings about it. I had my day 2 yesterday and I noticed that I'm freezing in those days. It gave some results though, I lost 1.3 lbs this week

So how are you doing with 5:2? It's slow for me just now.

I really have no idea, it might be that I have been sitting at my PC more latetly, so I guess everyday exercise should do it. This week have started off much better on that point.

I support that ... WELL DONE I hope the scale is nice to me this week

Hi, I am doing semi-good. That means that I have lost alot of weight, but not the last few weeks, so I'm hoping that this week will turn and the scale will be nice to me on Thursday. I am still very motivated

Hi 2012Willdoit, I couldn't agree with you more on finding your own way to succeed. Have you also tried 3:4 scheme?

So what's it all about then?? I thought this was the place to share ideas and get support. Have you been here for long?

I agree with you on this one. It's like resetting the whole body. :o

Yesterday I had my first DD this week and I went back to previous meal. Pasta 100g + yellow pepper 120g + onion 30g + 10 shrimps. I felt good all day could sleep well all night. I hope this week will show some results. Sent from my GT-P7500 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi, and I'm OK. Not giving up I assure you :-) and I can tell you that I really ate enough of food this weekend. We were at a brunch yesterday and I'm still full. I I appreciate your support. Sent from my GT-P7500 using MiniMins.com mobile app

OK, Monday morning and I have to sort out my fasting days for the week. It has to be today and Wednesday as I might go for a job interview on Thursday and I don't want to spoil any chances if we are having lunch together or so. I think I'll take the opportunity to weigh in on Thursday morning...

One more thing, is it quiet here as people are at JUDDD instead? Sent from my GT-P7500 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi I have been on 5:2 since August last year and it have worked fine for me. I wish to share my experience with you guys and read what you think. Best Sent from my GT-P7500 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Another disappointing weigh in day. I have gone up in weight by 1.1 lbs and this is the second week in a row. Strange, cause I was a good boy this week. Only ate apples on the DD and was quite active, not claiming any hard workouts or anything like it. On the UD I ate just normal food and stayed...

I love travelling to America and often I lose weight there ... might be that I go to Hawaii??

Thank you for a brilliant post. All that's new to me, I always made the meals myself with lots of planning and thinking. I will look in to it

Nice, i hope we can support each other. I have a feeling I need that today. Hitting the scale soon

I like that tip. I'll try it next week

I really wish you well on your weight losing journey. Just hang-in there, it will work for you this time as well. We can support each other, that's why I am here. You are welcome to follow me at Stefan - Still far way to go

Here comes an update on today's faster day even though it's not over yet. I still have to fall asleep and actually, that's one of the harder part for me. I can't stop thinking on tomorrows nice breakfast or lunch, or even worse ... dinner with that nice glass of red wine. Yammy. So how did today...

Good question and I hope more will answer. This is how I have perceived it. Almost all is the same principle, you faster 2 days out of the 7 in a week but they should not follow each other. You can call it JUDDD/DODO/5:2. The hours is about how long time it should take in between the meals at a...

Yes, you are welcome to follow my path to a slimmer life on Stefan - Still far way to go :o

Great ... then I have reached one of my goals :D. No, seriously ... I entered this forum as I need support from people who is in the same spot as I am. So, I'm soaking up all I can get. Love to give as well.

It's my future me :D. Today it's my true head, but I borrowed someone else body.

Hi Can you tell more about the LL foodpacks please?

Hi Emma Big welcome, I think you will succeed well with this diet. It kinda fun. :-)

By the way How do you guys like my avatar?

Hi Welcome to a nice way to lose weight. JUDDD really works fine, but beware that it can take some time. All the best to you :-)

OK, back on track. Weekend is over and it was a good one. A lot of outdoor activities, most in the city though. Yesterday I had my first DD day this week and on the menu was ..... "3 apples". Nothing more. I survived.

"The scale never lies" :cry:

Thank you. I was really bloating this weekend, but back on track. :cool:

Sorry, but I must have put it the wrong way ... i went up 0.9lb. :cry:

Sad to say ... I gained 0.9lb this week. I had an extra glass of wine to dinner to cheer me up.

Easy I use this ... It shows the weight directly from the food I put in the bowl and it's just to do the math. Weight in gr x cal per 100gr (look at the package declaration) / 100 = your calories for today

Since a 2 months ago a friend of mine told me that the JUDDD method is more effective if you let it pass 16 hours between the dinner you had the evening before a DD and the DD mean. Then it should also be a 16 hours delay until your breakfast the next UD. This is due to that your body need time...

I count every decimal on my weight and today was miserable. I gain 0.9lb. Yesterday I had only a small omelette on 3 eggs 3 mushrooms and ½ onion.

Today I was disappointed. REALLY !!! I went up 0.9lb. Back where I was two weeks ago. I know this is a long journey and like to pep talk others to hang-in there and see to the long term result. But I can tell you that I know the feeling of not succeeding every week, so I have to tell myself to...

Do that, my weigh in day is tomorrow morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that I break a new record.

Good for you :)

Do hang-in there. Remember that it's the long term results that matter. Personally I weigh myself on Friday mornings after my second DD. (DD= down day? right?)

Hello everyone I'm new at this forum as you probably understand as I'm writing this post. This is a brief presentation on way I'm participating here. In June 2011 I weigh 281.1 lb which way too much even if I'm 6.3 ft tall. But as I also have turned 50 I need to take care of myself in more...

That's funny :D . These days my kids are snapping at me when I come home late. :eek:

Hurrreyyy Good for you :D

Yes Don't panic and hang in there. Your weight will go up and down, but be sure it will drop over time. I have done this since July 2013 and have dropped 14.3lb. I see this as a long term commitment and for my future health as I'm not a sports fan (except in front of the TV set) and hate going...

Hi Tracy Thank you for suggesting JUDDD forum. I will look in to it. Nice Forum :-) Best

I am doing fine now. I think my body has adjusted to my schedule and don't "punish" me as much now as in the beginning. :-) At first I was really hungry at the usual breakfast and dinner time, but not so much now. I occasionally have some headache, but that is taken care of by drinking more...

Hi tjamyo I think chasing carbs is good, but I personally think a "simple to follow" diet works best, like staying away from sugar as much as possible. I did that for 1 year and lost 28 lb, eating everything else. Perhaps consider 5:2 diet?

Hello all As I wrote in the headline ... am I the only one here that run the 2:5 method?? That means that I fasting 2 days/week and eat normal the other 5. Fasting is defined by a total intake of 500 cal for women and 600 cal for men. I try to stay close to 500 mark and have dedicated...

Hello all How did this challenge end?? I was tempted to join, but came in late

Hi MinzieMoo To shed some light on your question. I run calorie counting only 2 days / week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. At those days I eat just one 600 cal meal at midday, women can eat 500 cal those days. By running this diet I can relax all the other days and whatever I want and still losing...

Hi There, I'm a Friday weigher too. I lost only 0,9lb last week, but looking forward to break a new record Friday next. I'm having the "2" day today, so I'm starting to be a bit hungry, but I'm hangin in there.
