You can do it!!! You've managed a 6lb loss before so you are able to control your diet and succeed. Is your mother in law aware that you want to lose weight? When she offers you food try to be firm with saying no and then quickly distract yourself. I'm a sucker for boredom eating so I have to be...

Haha, it's not that exciting! I'm a nanny for a French family and so there is a fridge full of cheese available for me to pick at all day long. The little boy I look after will regularly have an afternoon snack of just cheese and its so hard to not join in! This week I has been a disaster cc...

Amazing! Congratulations on such a fantastic journey, you're an inspiration!

The past two days I have started off cc-ing but then given up by mid afternoon. Feeling a bit disheartened. I've still not started exercising either. I keep coming up with pathetic excuses. At the weekend it was because my muscles were still aching from Fridays yoga session. Monday I was still...

I haven't been ccing this weekend. I had a night out planned for Saturday so I ate lightly in the day to compensate (a little) for my night of debauchery. Had intended to cc on Sunday but was hungover and exhausted so didn't manage it. Back on it today though and not feeling too guilty. Got my...

This morning I've had a yoga lesson in a park. My first ever yoga lesson and I enjoyed it! Impressed at my ability to balance! Definitely feel stretched out now. Think i will attempt the hairy dieters leek lasagna for dinner tonight. Fingers crossed!

Thanks! I ended up not making it out for my morning run, I didn't get a lot of sleep and so when my alarm went off at 7am and then I heard the rain outside...I went back to sleep oops! Food wise I've done amazing, I'm so happy. I've been able to eat a decent amount and there was even calories...

Jumping very late onto the bandwagon! Started CC today. I must say its very motivating to think that I could lose a stone by Christmas, eek! Amelie24: Target 25lbs, Lost 0lb, 25lbs left to lose Tricia: Target 26lbs, Lost 2lb, 24lb left to lose Acc: Target 14lbs, Lost 0lb, 14lbs left to lose...

You could try a jacket potato with just the beans, they're not too high in calories.

After attempting WW, SW and JUDDD I have decided that CC is my best bet. I struggle massively with portion control and bingeing and so JUDDD just hasn't worked for me. I wish it had due to the extra health benefits but it's just not compatible with my mentality or lifestyle. I've over-eaten on...

Just started my 3rd week of juddd. I'm feeling a bit disappointed that I haven't had any fantastic results yet but then when I think about my past two weeks I haven't been following the plan properly. I've only ever managed 2 full fast days and then on my UPs I've TOTALLY pigged out and not...

Good luck Tessieg! Hope that your first DD is going well :)

Ahh thank you so much for posting this! I've yet to manage three full DDs and I'm starting my 3rd or 4th week. It was getting me down a bit that I've not been able to manage it properly but this has made me feel more positive!

Made it through the night woo! Had a cheeky weigh in this morning and I'm now at 69kg so fingers crossed it stays this way. Not sure if I can cope with continual up and down weigh ins though! Had a yoghurt with confiture de lait and a glass of milk for breakfast. Got a mexican tea planned...

ABSOLUTELY STARVING!!! Going to make myself a cup of tea and get in bed. I think I have a couple of calories left but don't want to push it just incase. Had to guesstimate the weight of some mozzarella so I want to play it safe.

Oops, posted too soon! Also fitting into your smaller clothes must be such a boost! From what I've been reading it seems that JUDDD shows its best results through NSV so that's where I shall be focussing from now on. Although its hard to shake the scales dependency!

8lbs in 3 weeks, amazing! Well done, it must be an amazing feeling

Weighed in again today but wasn't expecting a loss because I've not really followed the plan properly. But it came up as 70kg which is a 1kg loss or just over 2lbs. I'm so pleased! Definitely motivation to keep me going. I've worked out that if I stick to a 1kg a week loss then I can shift 6kg...

Sunday: turned my DD into an ID Monday: UD Tuesday: attempted DD turned into an UD Wednesday: UD Basically I've just been eating whatever I wanted. I'm not beating myself up enough to get disheartened but just enough to get myself back on the wagon. Fast again tomorrow. Going to sit down with...

This is amazing motivation! I think I might give up on using scales and have a weekly "measure in"instead. That should stop me standing on the scales all the freaking time!

Had 2 UD's and today is now my 3rd DD. it shall be interesting as I have a hangover and I usually eat myself silly on days like these! I had hoped to refrain from weighing myself often but I've been doing it every day, so far it's saying a 1kg loss and fingers crossed I can keep that up...

Also need to note my start weight of 71kg, taken on Wednesday morning.

2nd DD. I think it is going ok, had to guesstimate the calories for my main meal. Just had a bowl of peas as an evening snack. Going to brew up some tea and carry on unpacking to distract me from wanting to eat.

I thought that an UD would be easy peasy but it was actually a bit hard to shake myself from the "ooh I shouldn't be eating this!" mindset that I've had for who knows how long. So liberating to be able to add a spoon of confiture du lait in my fat free yoghurt this morning! Am now sat with a cup...

I spent my summer in Bordeaux! Managed to last today, had a meal at lunch instead of dinner as planned but I feel like that might be my best option to keep me powered in work. Completely knackered now so heading to bed. Hasn't been anywhere near as hard as I thought it would be, feeling...

You're in Bordeaux? And thanks everybody for the welcome!

So it turns out I couldn't handle moving apartments, starting a new job and fast at the same time. It's all been so stressful! TODAY is my new start! Have been up since 8am and only had a cup of tea. The hunger comes and goes but so far it hasn't been so bad. Just waiting to start work now...

Breakfast: yog 78 cals Peach 38 cals Mint tea On the train now. Planning to nap for the next 3 hours to distract me from my rumbley tummy!

Hey I'm Lucy and just starting up my diary ready for tomorrow. It shall be my first dd tomorrow and I'm excited and nervous! I'm travelling back to Paris after spending the summer working in the south of France. I have a 3 & a half hour train journey so I'm hoping that will help me to not go...

Thanks for asking this question, I'm also 11 stone and about to embark on JUDDD. I wasn't expecting massive losses each week but it's nice know that it will still be a steady loss. I think I will try and focus on measurements as well. I can get a bit obsessive with weighing myself so might be...

Definitely sounds like you have an UTI, whenever I have one it makes me feel awful all over. I feel like I want to curl up in a ball and never be touched, it's horrible! Hope you feel better soon. If you can't make it to the doctors then maybe get a box of cystitis relief from Boots or a local...

Congratulations! Over the first hurdle :) x

Wear skirts and dresses in the spring and summer without getting that dreaded chub rub on my thighs!!

Hanatta I'm so pleased for you! Glad that you are getting such positive changes. And also inspiring to me as a newbie, I can't wait to find myself in the same position!

Hello, I'm Lucy. I'm looking to start JUDDD in 9 days as I'm currently working away for the summer and I have no control over meals. Thought I'd introduce myself now though and then follow the board to get a feel for the diet and also give myself some ideas. I'm so excited to start, this seems...

Hi, I'm Lucy and would like to join in :) I'm starting SW at home tomorrow as I live in France, I have the books and will be starting off on EE. This will be my 2nd/3rd attempt at starting and fingers crossed it will be my last! My weight has slowly been creeping up over the years. It makes me...

Hi, not much help on the SW front but spelt isn't actually gluten free. It's a type of wheat. I think I read that gluten free bread can be substituted instead of standard bread and be used as part of your Healthy Extras. Hope that's some help :)

Glad you asked this! Was wondering myself and presumed they would be more points due to the chocolate. Good to hear they're the same! :)

Mmm crabsticks! Not sure if I could stomach them so early in the morning haha! Congratulations on your weight loss, hope you have continued success! :)

Good luck! You've started well by planning your meals for a week! Very positive and something to keep you on the right track :)
