    Need to be careful forever Attn: AKB

    Hi Cahching! Just stopped in for the first time in ages - mainly 'cos I've been trying to SS this week. Have now lost 3 and a half stone twice and am attempting to lose it for the 3rd time. I managed to gradually put all my weight back on and am on the downward track again! On other issues...

    Hi, Just a quick note to let you know I haven't dropped off the planet! Have quite a lot of things going on at home & abroad at the mo and am therefore not around or incredibly busy with study. No weight loss these days (but no gains either so I ought to be happy with that). Love to all xxx

    Hi, I didn't mean 800 every day, I meant an average of 800 per day, eg 1,000 one day & 600 the next or so. I think I might make it 1,000 actually as that should be a 7,000 deficit & therefore a 2lb loss. Got my last 2 Maths assignments back, got 88 & 89 so my assignment average over the 7...

    11,13 again this morning. I don't think today will be very low as breakfast was 430 cals, (special k, milk & 2 bananas that needed using up) I think salad for lunch & quorn cottage pie for dinner should minimize any damage though.

    Never gone blonde before. I'm halfway through. Next Saturday it drops to totally blonde with a darker blonde base & pale highlights. My hair was so dark that there needs to be a gap between the chemicals otherwise my hair either would fall out or it wouldn't go blonde enough. So I get to be...

    Hi I use WLR & they classify 80g as a portion. Does it count as Fruit and Veg? The product must be more than 80% fruit and/or vegetable based. Pure fruit / veg juices and pure fruit smoothies (not dairy based ones) will count. Many soups and sauces do not...

    Me too - stayed the same 11,7 yesterday. At one point it was actually 11,8/11,9 but then I realised the scales were on the tile line not a flat tile. Still having a few problems, I think salad actually has the opposite effect on me to the one it's supposed to!:eek:

    2,000 sounds about right although I usually tend to aim somewhere between 1500 & 2000 on UDs as the 1st 2 weeks I did it without calorie counting, went a bit OTT on UDs and lost 1lb the 1st week & regained it the 2nd week so now I count every day.

    I always have Monday as UD as I go to an aqua class that day. You can fix your days by doing 3 UDs, 3 DDs & one ID (intermediate day) usually after an UD & before a DD of between 1,000 & 1,500 cals. Not part of JUDDD but frequently used by us lot to get our days the same each week.

    No I don't think that would work. The whole point of this diet is that you keep your metabolism on its toes by doing 1 up, 1 down so it never knows how many cals its going to get. If you stayed constant at 500 cals throughout the week it gets used to that & stays low then when you eat more...

    I think when there's lots of lbs to lose it comes off reasonably fast, but the general promise is a stone a month. It's often 7 - 10 lbs the first week and then 2 -3 every week after that. The problem with that is the big weight loss is mainly water & glycogen. I was getting through a week...
