hey - don't feel too bad about it!! firstly - well done for coming on here and writing about it, that's a great start as you've admitted what you've done and drawn a line under it. now you can move on! a few hundred extra calories in a day isn't bad at all as long as you stop there and make the...

lozzy your plan sounds brilliant!! :D hoping i can kick off my last stone and then maintain with a similar approach to what you are taking :) and i wouldn't be surprised if you lose some weight with the good choices you are making :clap: xxxx

i think it can go two ways! but if i weigh in a little less often it fuels the positive effect of yay i'm losing lets carry on.. but if i weigh on a set day and every week etc it messes up my head and triggers over eating the couple of days before!! hope you are well hun xxx i've had my weekend...

yes.. i actually feel my problem might be the scales. as it gets closer to weigh day i feel pressured and end up messing up and eating when i don't even want to! plus if i stay the same or don't loose enough i feel like giving up. think i'm going to start fresh on monday and just not have a...

have had a bad couple of days! messed up completely really.. just don't want to face counting up what i've picked at the last couple of nights :o in honesty i was probably over my weekly allowance by maybe 1200 calories.. and i stayed the same! :mad: may be because i ate most of my calories the...

hey, don't feel like a failure!! 1200 is not bad at all and it wasn't a load of junk :D and well done for not giving up - once you crack it once you will have it don't worry, first couple of days of something new is always the hardest! if you do find it a bit too extreme or hard though after a...

thank you! to be honest with you i don't know where it's come from.. i honestly don't remember a single week or couple of days that i haven't binged and gone way off track for over a year now!! apart from these 2 weeks :D i think the fact that i'm focusing on the week as a whole is having a big...

evenings are always my hardest too! i try and save a back up treat for the evenings as i'm so bad - but when i really get cravings in the evening i usually drink a big glass of water every time i want to eat something. also ice lollies are good to give your mouth something to do (i buy...

thank you :) yes i'm just glad it was the start of the week anyway like you said! and it was my high calorie day anyway just that teamed with everything else going on had me feeling rubbish this morning but feeling better now! :D i think i much prefer my lower calorie days in fact, much less...

hiya smirky :D don't worry about the higher days as you're still on track! that's the joy of calorie cycling and it'll probably do good for your metabolism anyway :) glad to hear you're enjoying your weekend - i've just been shopping for my boyfriends birthday presents and got lured into buying...

hiya missmarie!! your plan sounds good and very doable! it should be easier to stick to knowing you can eat a bit extra the following day :D i've been calorie cycling for nearly 2weeks and i love it - i used to be a big binger and since i've got into the swing of things i haven't once!! it's so...

thank you hun!! :D love your response to trying healthy too - it is so nice to be able to eat out or have a takeaway and it be part of your diet because you've planned calories out well! :clap: xxx

hiya! i would say for me personally, definitely! knowing that some days i can afford to have treats or eat out with friends/family makes a big difference because i don't feel like i'm on a diet or deprived. on my lower calorie days i can look forward to a treat during the week on a higher day. i...

Hey guys! just started this new diary to start the week fresh as my other thread was getting a bit messy thanks to my lack of organizational skills! but i've had 11days to work out how i like to plan this right so i should be able to manage to keep myself tidy this time ;) For orders sake I am...

haha just re read what i wrote! yes i did mean other fluids, preferably not more alcohol as this creates a vicious circle! ;) xx

hiya! i'd say don't worry too much about it all - as long as it isn't a super regular thing (like having 3 beers every day) it shouldn't affect anything, especially as you are counting it within your calories anyway. the only thing i would think of that it might do is cause slight bloat/water...

thanks so much shanny! just hope i can keep it off & more now :p xx

haha yes it really depends on the sizes doesn't it! i love the big juicy ones but they weigh more.. :( lol! yeh i still always count it but if i had a meltdown and ate lots of grapes i'd feel far less guilty so i try not to worry about them as much as other things :) xx also just quickly popped...

thank you hun! :D well most places i've looked there are roughly 60calories per 100g of grapes, so if you're having 50g i'd count that as 30 :) i had just a little over that so rounded it up to 35! to be honest i'm not as strict when it comes to fruit & veg though and usually estimate on how...

hey guys! so today is a 900calorie day so far today i've had: 1/2 natural yoghurt (40) squares (97) grapes (35) special k mini's 1/2 packet (50) chicken chargrill (165) basamati rice 50g (177) sweet & sour sauce (80) so 644 so far and it's 8pm! to be honest i probably won't have much more but...

hey! my day is going well so far :) and hoping not to eat again now so have managed to bank a few calories! yes i am and it is just so hard not to binge, ahhh! hardest thing of my life i think lol! :( i've found that keeping myself busy and constantly thinking or planning or on the go helps...

hi there hun! :) i'm also a foodaholic! i use it to cope with every aspect of my life but trying to embrace that and gain control and turn it into a positive aspect of my life.. your food diary so far looks great - lots of healthy foods in there too :clap: look forward to following your diary :D xx

hey hayles! hope your gym induction went well? :) look forward to reading about your try with calorie counting - i've found it really easy to follow and flexible so far so hopefully you'll find it rewarding! xx

yes exactly!! i lost most of my weight around a year ago and have been shifting and gaining and maintaining the same 8lbs or so for a few months now :( so time to really give it a final push to get off this last pesky stone i think!! what are you doing to lose yours? xx

lol yes me too it just occured to me i'll be weighing in at probably the worst time possible so think i'll do an official weigh in this saturday of my overall loss (over the 10days) then start the weeks up again from sat! i've got 16lbs to go from my official start weight as not counting my...

hey shanny! thanks :) well the end of my week is a monday at the mo (due to work!) so i should be weighing in on tuesdays.. :) last week i quickly jumped on the scale & lost 3.5lbs but i'll be weighing more consistently from now on and think i'm going to change my weigh in day to a saturday...

hey lozzy! on what you said about calorie counting and nutritional value - i find myself doing this all the time! as long as it is low calorie and gets me through the day without a binge i'll eat it regardless of whether it's actually doing me any good! :( which i know is really bad but i've...

it is week 2! i have been staying at my boyfriends the last couple of days which has been more of a struggle! tuesday was a complete flop - i did well all day and then had a mini binge on weight watchers cakes HAHA so my total ended up at 1137 which to be fair isn't a complete failure but double...

if i'm really craving savory/salty things (my biggest down fall) i usually go for.. walkers squares salt and vinegar - whenever i'm craving a big portion of chips i have a bag of these! eat them slowly and really taste them and they last for ages too - 97 cals for a bag. these really save me...

i woke up this morning with a headache and cold :( my silly boyfriend was sneezing all weekend and i knew he would give it all to me!:mad: so today i am going for 600calories to kick start the week! so far i have had: bfast: 1/3 natural yoghurt (25) lunch: grapes (20) 2 x cream crackers (70)...

lol this is like me! i prefer to spend the little calories i do have on things i'll enjoy and can look forward to!! trying to add healthy things in whenever i can but otherwise i get fed up and end up bingeing if i deprive myself so.. small portions of what you like is the way forward ;) xxx

right.. so it's basically the end of the day :):) i don't plan to have anything else to eat anyway, maybe a sula sweet if i need something. and it's also the end of the week! :happy096: so here is what i had today & my end of week update!! Monday::D bfast: 25g frosties w/ splash milk 110...

i would say one thing - you know your own body best the calculator gave me higher calories than i'd usually eat averagely as well or need to loose weight, so i've knocked them all down a bit to where i feel comfortable as i have a slower metabolic rate also! zig zagging is great and works but i...

oh it doesn't haha, but most up days you wake up and actually don't feel like eating everything you thought you'd want anyway! it's just a way to pass off the craving!! wow that's great :D i bet you'll get there very soon, must be exciting :) and you deserve one anyway i'm sure, good luck xx

hey guys! hope everyone has had a great weekend! i worked saturday but had a lovely day yesterday with the boyfriend, we went to an animal park and then out for our chinese! i'm feeling pretty horrified about what i ate yesterday haha but i think i just about stayed on course! so here is my...

ohhh, i've never heard of the tesco ones! i might check those out myself actually when i'm next in town! so thanks for replying with that hehe :D x x

i know 500cals sounds terrifying at first for a lot of people but it isn't as bad as it sounds. you get through on the thought of 'i can eat whatever i want tomorrow!' so you are basically dieting a day at a time. plus because you eat what you like one day, the next day you don't really crave or...

hey guys!:p so today i've decided to switch my calorie intake to 500 calories as tomorrow were planning on going to a chinese buffet! and whilst i plan to make the healthiest options possible at a chinese buffet (haha) i want plenty of calories in case as it's hard to count at a buffet! eek...

hiya! one thing i love is mini milk ice cream lollies - they have 30cal each which is great as they come in vanilla, strawb and chocolate so are also good for a sweet/chocolate fix! skinny cow also do some nice bigger ice cream lollies at under/around 70 calories i think, which taste really good...

yes .nicki. judddd is short for 'johnsons upday downday diet' one day you eat say 500 calories, the next 1800 (there is a calculator for exact amounts based on weight and height etc) the purpose is to keep your body guessing and maximize metabolism and also produces an emergency response from...

thanks for the link 86alpzzyj! the cycle it gave me was similar to mine although a little higher in calories but more consistent. i'll definitely experiment with it, which is the other great thing about calorie cycling as every week doesn't need to be the same either :D

hello :) i've decided to start a new diary thread over in this part of the forum.. i was previously following the JUDDDD diet & have done several times but have decided it just isn't for me & i need to take a different approach. i've decided to calorie cycle & document everything i eat during...

today is proving to be a much harder DD than the first! yesterday i bought my parents a box of donuts & i just want to eat all that is left right now! my boyfriend is working until late today so i'll be staying at my parents for dinner i guess it's harder because i'm off today so having to try...
