Weigh in today and I lost 1.5lbs. Chuffed. Sanghi.

I would recommend it because this how naturally thin people eat. My French friend does this automatically and her weight has been the same for years. (so has her mums and sisters). When I told her I was juddding and what it was, she was surprised that we were not taught this by our...

Hi, welcome to Juddd, and good luck. Sanghi.

Hi Tamzy, well done on the weight loss. You've done really well. Don't beat yourself up about the down day gone wrong, it happens to most of us at some point. Some people have two up days in a row at the weekend and still have a good loss. Sanghi.

Well done to your hubby for giving up the ciggies. I used to smoke, years ago. And when I first gave up, I also hated the smell, then I loved it, (I used to try to walk behind people who were smoking so I could inhale!) and now it makes me feel ill. I hope he's not too grumpy. The boat trip...

Hi Hazel and welcome to Juddd. Like Stirky says the up days do get better, now when I have eaten too much I can tell straight away, I feel all bloated and uncomfortable. My appetite has changed so quickly that I think my head is still stuck in the old way of eating, but I am sure it will...

Well done, that's a really good loss. Sanghi.

Hi Mary, Welcome to Juddd. Good luck with your weight loss. Sanghi.

Sainsburys, be good to yourself, peach and apricot cereal bars, are amazing and only 75 calories. They do not taste diet at all. Sanghi.

I don't think you are eating enough on an up day. You have to eat enough to 'trick' your body into thinking it's not on a diet. It's the change in calories that triggers the 'skinny gene'. And 1207 calories are the amount most people on a low-calorie diet would find to be the lowest they...

I'm on week two, last week I swapped over from Lipotrim, I lasted all off two weeks, and then I got too light-headed. I am really enjoying being back on Juddd, it's almost like I never left! A down day for me today. It's sooo good to be back. Sanghi.

I'm drinking 3 to 3.5 litres. I work from home, so it's not like I have a hard manual job. I'm finding it really hard to focus on my work. If this carries on I may have to stop lipotrim, because I cannot afford to make mistakes, as if the work is wrong I won't get any further work (ie no...

I'm on week 3 and have been really, really light-headed this week, even when I'm sitting down. Is this normal? Sanghi

I got mine from debenhams and it was about £175 ish. They have them in Argos and they are not that expensive. (not sure if you have argos over there).

Wow, you look amazing, congratulations on being a grandmother. And now you'll have enough energy to keep up with him/her. Hope that cyst gets better soon.

Sorry, I'm not going to the gym (I hate them). But I am walking, using an exercise bike and doing free weights, nothing too strenuous. And I have a vibro plate that I am going to drag it out of its hiding place. But I do find that when I workout or even do heavy housework, I get tired...

I've got one, haven't used it in a while. I used to use it everyday and loved it. It was really good after a run, or any exercise, I found that if I did my stretches on it I didn't ache at all. Humm, I think I'm going to drag it out of its hiding place again and use it again.

I'm sorry that we're loosing you. It is a very hard diet, especially the first week. I don't know if I can pimp a diet, but the Johnson's upday down day diet is a good alternative, because you get to eat every other day. I think that the only reason I managed to get through my first week was...

Well done, that is a really good loss. I'm sorry the lady in the pharmacy is so dis-interested, but hey you have all the crazy people on here to help and encourage you.

Well done Gilo and Sci-fi, that's really good.

Good luck with the low calorie high protein diet. I get the feeling that you are interested in the muscle building side of fitness, which you obviously can't do on the vlcd. But you can always give it another week and then switch, cos the more weight you loose, the more muscle you see :D

Well done, that is really good going. I bet you can't wait to start the refeed.

Hang on in there, it does get easier. I'm on my second week, and found the first four days the hardest. The forum is so good for distracting you from those moments when you feel like you can't do it. And it's full of really good advice.

Well done. But OMG does that mean you're walking around starkers?:eek::giggle:

You can try some psyllium husk. I checked with my pharmacist when I started and it is ok to use. It's like the unflavoured fybogel, but 100% natural. Take it with a small amount of water to stop diarrhea, and with loads of water to get rid of constipation. But you cannot use the capsules...

Just been to the bathroom to check, I'm a woman :p

On my notes for patients it says; In addition to the water used to mix yor diet, you must drink at least 4 pints (about 2 litres) of water each day, but no more than 8 pints, (4 litres). It also says this in the film they have on their website (the same one they give you to watch at the...

Good luck for tomorrows weigh in.

Well done, that's a really good loss. Go change your ticker, we all want to see it.

That's great. So is it bye bye Evans, hello Topshop, River Island, maybe Miss Selfridges??? Evans must hate all the Lipotrimers.

Well done, that's a great loss. And you're more than halfway through, that's really amazing.

It will get easier, but the first week is the hardest. Just take it one day at a time, when you want to eat, just tell yourself, later. Before you know it, it is time for bed and another day. I tend to tell myself that getting food is just such hard work, and I like being lazy and just having...

No worries. She just said walking and gentle exercise, not that I have done any apart from running up and down the stairs to go to the loo :p

Oh, the pharmacist hold me to exercise! silly woman.

And from what I can remember, my feet hurt less in high heels.

Well done, thats a great milestone to reach.

I've just finished my first week and my worst days were the second and third day, I was tired and had a headache. On day four I was full of energy and still am. So you should be okay apart from a couple of days. Hope this helps.

Wow well done on your weight loss so far. It puts it into a nice picture doesn't it? It's easier to picture a big bag of dog food, so packets of sugar than just pounds and kilos. I had an excercise vibrating plate delivered and on the box was a big sign saying caution weight over 20 kilos, 2...

I have my shakes at 2, 6 and 10. I seem to be able to deal with hunger in the morning but not the afternoon/evening, so this works for me. Good luck with your first week and don't forget water, water, water.

:8855:That made me laugh. Nothing like puke to put you of crisps for life.

Well done on the four pounds and getting to week six.

I lost 6lbs. :) I pretty happy because it is TOTM. I'm even more motivated to stick to this now.

The shakes and soups have 141.7 calories per pack and the flapjacks have 191. If you have three shakes/soups you have 425.1 calories a day, if you have a flapjack than the calories are a bit higher. (That's from the bag.)

What exams have you got? How sweet is your BF, feeling all guilty. Good luck for getting through the weekend, food and guilt free.

Well done, that is an amazing weight loss.

It also depends on how much glycogen, and therefore water, they were carrying. If they had more glycogen than you, they would loose more, but most of it would of been water loss.

I've done weight watchers a couple of times, overall it is a good plan. The only things that I considered a down side where that some good food had a higher points value than the bad food. eg salmon, nuts were high in points, but are good for you. Some sweets and processed foods where low in...

Good luck. I find drinking water helps with the rumbling tummy.

Hi Ro, I started the same time as you, and it is a strange feeling not eating. As for the lunch, you could buy the shaker from the chemist and use that to mix it up. But I don't think you can use it with hot water, so you'd have to take another flavour. And new flavours? I can't wait.

It's probably too late now, but think thin thoughts. Thin, thin, thin thoughts. On a serious note you could always think of it as having something really horrible in it.

Snap. So is mine.:)

Wow, you're weight loss is amazing. You give me hope, I'm trying to get through week 1.

I have been avoiding the cooking programmes, but I watched Nigel Slater yesterday and was really inspired to stick to this, so that I can try all the food when I'm slim! I might give the food channels ago, cos I have missed them. I also like the music channels, those dancers all look so toned.

It's the end of day four and I have finally gotten rid of the horrid headache I've had since Tuesday. It was so bad I missed my last shake on Tuesday. Today I am wide awake and full of energy. And it has been really quiet at work. Sods law. This is as far as I got on Lipotrim my first time...

Hi and welcome. You've got the right atitude, and have seen the results in person. There are some threads on here about how to make the shakes taste nicer. Which will be nice for a change. Take it easy in the gym for the first few days as your energy will be lower than normal. Good luck.

It would depend on how lean your mince was. Do you still have the packaging? the calories should be on there.

Hi Kerry, good luck with your weight loss.

Hi and welcome. It's my first week, the only tip I can give you is take it one day at a time.

Well done Julie, that's a good loss.

Well done. 8lbs is a great weight loss.

Thanks for posting this, I missed my last shake last night as well, but because I was so tired and headachey. I was worried that it would mess up the diet. Thanks for reassuring me that I'm still on track. Hope you've sorted it out with your BF.

Well done for not caving, I'm on my first week too, and know how you feel. Just keep thinking of those dresses you'll be wearing soon.

You could have some higher carb veg, like tomatoes, peas, carrots etc, rather than the chips. Maybe even some nuts. That way you will have some carbs and hopefully enough to keep you out of danger when you are drinking. I understand your train of thought with the one blip, I would be the...

Good luck, hope it all goes well.

It's food porn :D;) It's too early for me to do this, I even change the channel at the food ads.

Well done for resisting the sandwiches. That must have felt sooo good.

I go on all the really posh (expensive) clothes websites and look at all the clothes that i could wear, and look good in, if I was slim. I also do the mental exercises in Paul MacKennas book. They really do help boost my confidence.

I can't wait to lose the bloated belly, I look seven months pregnant.

I'm craving an apple!

Oh no, is there another pharmacy you can try?

Sounds like an allergic reaction. You need to go see the pharmacist. Or it could be a detox reaction.

I started my Lipotrim journey today. I weigh a shocking 13st 7.6lbs the heaviest I have ever been. I have been really prepared and have chucked out all the food in the house (don't worry I live on my own). Most of the tinned and packaged is going to the homeless shelter. I have done all the...

Because our bodies are very strange! Our bodies hate letting our fat cells sit empty in case we need them again, so it fills our empty fat cells with water, as it's easier for it to replace the water than refill a completely empty fat cell. It holds on to the water until it's sure it won't...

A walk is always a good idea when you aren't eating and everyone is being nosey. Good luck with the rest of your week.

Wow, well done that is really good going.

I'm starting tomorrow as well. Good luck and I'm sending you lots of virtual support. Sanghi

Hi Cuddlymama, good luck to you too. We can so do this.

are the flapjacks anything like the scanbran on slimming world? ie like eating cardboard? If anyone has done slimming world...

Would some of those toning creams help? You know the L'oreal, garnier etc ones? I second the Palmers coco butter stuff. My best friend used it when she was pregnent and has hardly any stretch marks. But I'm not sure I could handle that smell without craving chocolate.

LOL. I don't think I want to know which nursery rhyme you sang. :p

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. I know it sounds strange but I am really looking forward to starting. I've spent the whole day clearing my cupboards of food. I've chucked so much away and have a big box to give to the local homeless shelter (if they want it). I'm lucky as I live...

Lol, that is crazy. I'm getting some of that fibre stuff at the chemist when I get my shakes.

Hi, I'm starting Lipotrim on Monday 8th March ie tomorrow. My appointment is at 11am. I did try Lipotrim years ago and lasted a grand total of 4 days! I'm a bit more prepared this time, I did the Johnsons up day day day diet for a couple of months last year, in which you only eat 500...

And for a change it's a positive article. Feast or famine: The diet that won't just help you lose weight, you'll live longer and be brainier! | Mail Online

You can have my 5lbs. FAT BIN TOTAL: 77.9!! Can we get rid of Paris Hilton next? Please, please please? I have no idea how much she weighs though. Sanghi.

Wow Jolinarr, well done for sticking to your down day on a meal out. My mini goal would be to lose another 7lbs by Christmas. That would be a great present to myself!

Good luck and please come back as soon as you can. Sanghi.

Oooooh, chocolate that willl make me skinny. I want some. :17729: But they are £5 for a box of 5! And I thought Thorntons was expensive..... I might just have to ask Santa.:p Sanghi.

Sorry, the only duck I ever eat is the crispy duck from the chinese. Try the good food website, they're pretty good. (for an up day). Sanghi.

Hi Susan, Welcome to the group. Good luck with your weight loss. That Sparkpeople group sound mad, why would you want to starve when you can eat? :confused: They don't sound like they are following Dr Johnsons diet at all, they're just doing any old common starvation diet. Well done on...

Week 2 and I lost 2 lbs. I love Juddd.:love: I think I need to post a diary, but I just don't have a chance to get on here very often :(

Hi Sarah. It's only my second week on Juddd and so far I am finding it pretty easy. As you've done Cambridge before you'll probably find it similar on the down days. But because it will only be for one day it is a lot easier. The tips I found most usefull on the down days is drink loads of...

I'm here.:wavey: Better late then never I suppose.:p Now that I've checked in it's time for bed. Sanghi

After my first week I've lost 3lbs. I'm so happy :) Sanghi

Hi, If you visit Dr Johnson's website it has a calculator for you to work out your down day calories on there, and you do get asked if you exercise and you do get a higher calorie allowance. The UpDayDownDay Diet™ and eResveratrol – Dr. James Johnson – SIRT1 Gene Activation Sanghi. PS...

Aww big hug. :hug99: It's horrible being on your own in a new place. Do any of your boyfriends friends have girlfriends? Maybe you can have a little chat with one of them if they are nice. You'll be surprised how open people are once they know how you feel. Until you tell them they will...

:wow::wow: Miss Jelly Tot, that's great. 5Lbs !!! Well done.:party0019:

Hi, I started on Monday and so far so good. I've been reading some of the threads on here and reply as I can. Unfortunately I just don't seem to get enough time to get on here as often as I would like. I love the fact that I don't feel like I am on a diet with this plan. And everyone on here...

For me it's the fact that I don't have a lot of washing up to do! :p And I don't have to think about what to eat, if you know what I mean. I'm normally always thinking "what shall I eat, should I have this, or should I have that" I can never make my mind up and end up just grabbing whatever...

Hi everyone, I've deflected from the low carb/Atkins woe. It just did not work for me. Eight weeks of strict sticking to plan and I sts for seven weeks and then put on 1 1/2 pounds in week eight. :sigh: So I have jumped ship and am now a Juddder. I started yesterday with a dd. Which I found...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site but not to dieting :o I've been on low carb/Atkins for the last eight weeks. And I didn't lose a single pound for seven weeks, and after the last week I managed to put on one and a half pounds!! So searching the net for an alternative, I stumbled on this...
