My IBS has been better since doing JUDDD. My IBS doesn't manifest itself in making it difficult to go - it's the exact opposite! :eek: Eating properly every other day means that things do slow up for me a bit which is a good thing and my stomach feels so much more calm than usual.

I've just discovered The World Cancer Research Fund web site and they have LOADS of low calorie recipes for 200 - 300 calories. The one I'm eating now is their carrot, lentil and butternut squash soup. It really is yummy and I added some extra parsnip and chilli to give it a bit more oomph...

Starting day 2 of my DDD and I woke up feeling really good. So far I have had one weetabix and skimmed milk and walked the dogs. I'm going to go for another walk/run around a big park later to get my exercise rate up. Normally I wouldn't eat until later but I figured as I am doing some exercise...

Hi all. You have inspired me to have a go at a DDD tomorrow and Thursday. I had planned to do DD on Mon, Wed and Fri but now I'm going out on Friday and with Sat and Sun as normal UDs I need to do one. I am NOT looking forward to it - I'll be honest but I think it is possible after reading what...

That says it all really. I had a period of about 9 days where it was impossible to do JUDDD and I've got back into it this week but I am struggling. I am more or less where I was pre the 9 days off but I have lost my groove if that makes sense. I am having up today and tomorrow (Sun) and then...

Well done on feeling good at the end of a DD - I'll join you with that one. Today has been surprisingly easy YAY! :) As for the date - poor man, however ignoring is obviously the only way forward if you have told him there is no chance.

Lol - indeed! ;)

Ooh I like the idea of being scared skinny!

My copy of The Alternate Day Diet from Amazon. I ordered it weeks ago and only now has it finally got here. Obviously I have begun JUDDDering without the book but I know having it here will motivate me much more. I have literally just flicked through it and spotted some great looking recipes -...

If it's any consolation my loss seems to be really slowing down at the moment. I had an UD yesterday and did pig out with school lunch and then a friend came over for bangers and mash and sticky toffee pudding. I think a slow loss is worth it if it means I get to have nice social times with...

I love Kung po chicken. *sighs* Currently "enjoying" a herbal tea!

Bread and butter pudding with custard for school lunch - yum!

I love this thread! I have lost just over 9 pounds on JUDDD (6 in my first week although I admit I have had pretty mega UDs in the last two weeks but focus has now returned!) and despite that not being much I can see a difference in clothes. Yesterday I put on a pair of linen trousers for...

Tomorrow it's apple crumble and custard for pud at school so I am definitely having that. Oh I luuuuuuurve crumble and school puds are so the best! :D

Wine is overrated anyway. I had two small glasses last night and yes it was nice but afterwards I did wonder if it was worth the calories. Fizzyfluff hang in there until you can have a glass and then make it a really good one - what's your tipple normally? I would be tempted to get the wine...

Califig or good old "Syrup of Figs" as it used to be known has never failed yet!

I'm pleased someone has posted this as I have just opened my first bottle of wine since beginning JUDDD and wondered about it. I am having a pig out today with wine just because it's Friday, the sun is shining and it's the end of my first week back at school. My other half is in France and...

Hi and welcome - we're a cheery lot even on a DD but I agree; we positively beam on an UD! :D

God I loved today's UD! Had yoghurt then a cupcake at school as a friend brought some in. Had cheese and potato pie and salad and apple crumble and custard for lunch (Gotta love school dinners) then pasta bolognaise for dinner. I have eaten some "junk" today but as tomorrow it will be less...

I spotted this too - when I scrolled down for JUDDD yesterday I became worried that it had gone! Thankfully we've just been elevated that's all! :D

I'd seen a trailer for the Horizon programme and my partner had watched it and told me how interesting it was. I then had a watch on iplayer and was very impressed byt the health benefits as much as the weight loss. It was going through my mind when someone I vaguely know told me how they'd...

Thanks for the pics and positive stories guys - just what I needed to hear. I feel ready for a change in my life (who said mid life crisis?) and I think it's career where I would like go in a different route. I'm a secondary English teacher and although I do, in general, love my job after 14...

I think it is safe to say that not only do we lose weight from JUDDering we also lose a load of flabby, useless lard when we get rid of a rubbish relationship - I lost 22stone! :giggle:

Lumpy you will miss him. There will likely be moments when you feel lonely, wonder what you have done and think you will never meet anyone else. But as time passes so will those feelings. I suggest keep yourself busy, make sure you see your friends loads and maybe treat yourself to a new haircut...

Just wondered about the phrase "Life begins at 40." I am 40 in May (how on earth did THAT happen?) and decided to do JUDDD to make sure that by that time I won't be "Fat and forty." Friends are already asking what I am planning to do for it - weekend away or a party, that type of thing and...

Well done Lumpy! That must have been difficult but you did it and that, I would say, was the hard part. Go to the footy tonight and enjoy it - with any food you want to have too! x

Listen to me lovely. THERE ARE LOVELY MEN OUT THERE WHO WILL WANT YOU!!! I have my own trials and tribulations regarding love (I am going to write a book about it one day - a best seller I tell you!) and trust me on this: If you give yourself a bit of time to get your self esteem sorted and...

Hi lovely and welcome. I've just started myself (just over a week ago) and aim to have 3 DD a week. I really like this diet - on UD's already I find myself not wanting to eat huge amounts of food so I think my appetite is shrinking which is a first. The only advice I would give is write down...

I honestly can't see why you have stayed with him! This man doesn't enhance your life in any way at all. Cut yourself loose and you can go off and find a real partner and not a child. Sorry - he seems like he's very immature from what you have said. How to do it? Easy - get him alone and say...

I get a hollow feeling and then can feel a bit "sicky" on a DD but not until the afternoon usually. Just have to ride it out - drink fruity teas and snack on a ryvita, cup a soup or something like that. Maybe this is what hunger actually feels like.....? :p

Tomorrow I am going to my friend's for an authentic Indian curry and I can not wait. I LOVE Curry sooooooo much and would eat it every day for every meal if I could! I've just had a minestrone slim a soup and all the powdery stuff at the end which becomes like an odd mush was strangely...

No advice but a big ((((Yoga))). x

When I am thinner (not at my goal weight but about 3 stone down) I will run. OH runs, he does marathons and all sorts - despite having a huge beer belly and I want to be able to run with him and not knock myself out with my boobs! Yes it will be lovely to buy new clothes and not camouflage...

I think you need to make sure you get all the nutrients you need so maybe not going crazy with the junk but definitely eat what you need. When you are tired and sick you need rest and good nutrition - I can't imagine 500 calories or less would help you get better.

I'm a secondary teacher but only just started so have an idea about DD but not sure how they will pan out. I'm planning to do: Breakfast: a LF yogurt or boiled egg at school before the day properly begins at 8.00am Lunch: Salad vegetables and a slice or two of lean ham or turkey Dinner: Soup -...

CL, I would say definitely see this guy again! I totally understand that you feel a bit unsure as it's all gone soooooo well (whoop whoop!) and it may seem too good to be true at the moment but go for it. Keep the booze out of things and maybe do a lunch date and then have something planned with...

Oh dear yoga. It's really good that you got found out what he was into so that way you weren't wasting your time. I remember one man I met who was into sniffing women's worn knickers! eeeuuugh! There are quite a few weirdos who walk among us and yet appear so "normal" and that it is a tad...

Half a banana and a mug of tea with skimmed milk. That's about 61 calories.

CL it's your date today isn't it? I hope you have loads of fun and that the magic "spark" will be there. I think it sounds like there is a high chance of that from all your skyping and calling you've been doing. Let us know how it goes.

Ha ha Ladies - you've clearly sussed me out already! :D

Oooh add me. Headache: 8 lbs (0 Lost, 8 to go)

Oooh and me. I thought it was obligatory to have a little drink between each lesson. Is that not right then? :p Hmmm maybe if I'd have stuck to the vodka instead of the cider I wouldn't need to be on here!!!! Seriously back to Bank Hol, I've decided I will have a two UDs on Sunday and Monday...

I'm on my second DD. I'm managing to stick to less than 500 cals although the web site says I should be aiming for less than 400! I don't think I could do that and function normally. At the moment I am suffering from headaches and tiredness with fantasies about curries and cream cakes...

Hi Yoga, Just read through the thread about your dating exploits and it reminded me of a few I had when I did Plenty of Fish. I ended up meeting a man on there who turned out to be a new best friend but unfortunately there was no magical spark - and he only lives around the corner too! I then...

Hi all, I've begun JUDDD today so thought I'd pop on here and say "Hello" and hopefully receive/give some great support to fellow posters. I have lost weight with SW, WW and Rosemary Conley both at clubs and by myself but the wieght seems to always go back on as I return to awful eating...
