    30.09.2014. 11.06.02. :) Very happy with this especially as I had a meal out and also rather indulged at other times. Can't say I felt that good after I had eaten either. A lesson perhaps? Hope to have a good day today. I will be out for most of it so it should be easier to keep on track.

    Happiness is ..... 29.09.2014. 11.05.06. :):) 6lbs gone!!!! Better than I could have hoped for. It does show how really being careful helps. And no alcohol. This week is going to be more difficult but I am still hoping for a loss. Lunch out today which will be a nice...

    Good news 28.09.2014. 11.05.08 Happy, as the weight is down again. Keeping it brief as I am having real problems posting this morning for some reason, gremlins about! However I want to try and keep a daily diary as an incentive for myself even if no one else is interested.

    26.09.2014. 11.07.04. :rolleyes: OK, a pound on but it was an UD and I did eat sensibly so I am not too concerned. I had done very well up until now and it was bound to grind to a halt. One thing I have learned is not to get too despondent with the ups and downs of this diet...

    25.09.2014. 11.06.04. :) I had a really good DD yesterday and am thrilled with the result this morning. Hopefully I can be sensible today and not do too much damage. I slept well last night and feel good this morning.

    24.09.2014. 11.08.06. :) Really happy as managed a DD and still lost a little. I have to confess I feel better when I eat sensibly. The problem is, I am a comfort eater. Onwards and downwards!

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    This week has been seriously hard and despite my best efforts I have put on 1.5lbs. It has made me stop and think and I have decided that I just need to be kind to myself for a while. Doing JUDDD together with a low carb diet is just too hard after a year of dieting. I am feeling deprived as...

    2lbs gone this week which is a relief as I STS last week and only had myself to blame. I really want to lose 2 lbs in the coming week and then I will be down to my last stone. The health checks were fine although my cholesterol had gone up a little. Had one of my infrequent measure...

    Oh, a bad day yesterday! However I did have to go for a health check and my BP was fine and I weighed 3lb less on the surgery scales fully dressed than on mine at home! Just waiting for blood results now to see how the cholesterol is. An UD today But I need to be careful if I am going to...

    New year - another new start!

    Hi Lesley, I know you can do it! I have been doing this for just over a year and it is a great way of losing weight. It becomes a way of life. I am much better on DD's as I find it easy to fast, keeping busy is the key! I didn't lose as much as I should last year as I tended to eat too much...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Well I had two UD's including a meal out yesterday and have managed to keep my weight steady so that is a relief. I am on a DD today and have another before my next meal out so I think this week is mainly damage limitation.

    End of week weigh in and 5 lbs gone, not as good as it seems as most of that was weight I had gained over Christmas but I am happy as from now on it is all gain. Sadly two meals out this coming week so I am going to have to be careful the rest of the time. Sarah, I wish my mind would kick in...

    How are you getting on? I hope you are managing to eat nutritionally. You don't say how much you want to lose but for most people it is a marathon not a sprint and so you need to look after yourself! I know you have had a difficult week but you seem to be eating very little. Hope all is...

    Newbie JUDDD Diary

    Hi, how are you doing? i did the same as you last year and had a WW meal plus veggies on a DD, sometimes with a WW biscuit as a treat. I found it worked really well. I have stopped now as I want to try a low carb diet for a change as well as JUDDDing. Good luck, let us know how you get on.

    Steps In The Right Direction...86.6lbs Lost Fasting

    Hi Ali just been reading your thread and you are doing brilliantly! I did well last year but my real problem was eating too much on Up Days. This year I want to lose the last stone and a half and I am trying to be very careful and cut out the carbs which do the most damage for me. Keep up...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Another pound gone this morning. Now I know this I fluid but it is a good re- starter boost. I need lots of motivation at the present moment, that is why I am posting daily. Down day today so lots of water until my evening meal!

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Yesterday's down day was not brilliant but I did weigh a pound less this morning. Today is my first UD when I am following a low carb, high protein regime and it has been really good. I think Christmas made me realise that over indulgence is not for me!
  28. SilverSlimmer

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Well, a year gone and half a job done! Christmas was a bit of a diet disaster even though I only indulged for a few days which makes me realise that I am going to have to find an eating regime for life if I am going to keep this weight off. I am back on a down day today and starting Year 2...

    Well, you have probably guessed by now I am not the worlds best at posting. I have managed to lose 32 lbs this year by using JUDDD so I am really happy. The last few months I have more or less stayed the same but at least it has taught me how to maintain as I have not put weight back on. Now I...

    Weight loss on IF

    I have lost 2 stone since 27th December last year but I feel that is not a true reflection of the change in my body. I have my shape back, have lost 5" from waist and hips and 4.5" from bust. Weight has also disappeared from other places, arms and legs are a lot slimmer. Also, it hasn't been...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    It has been a while and things really slowed down even though I have never given up on the down days. I have finally lost 2 stone so that is a real landmark moment for me. I realised that I had been slipping into bad ways on the UDs and so I am back on track and 2 lb went this week. I think I...

    Haven't posted for a while but I have been plodding on. Weight loss has slowed right down but at least it is still going down. I have lost 24 pounds now. I am trying to motivate myself to get back on track. I find that there is a huge difference in my shape though and I am struggling to...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Missed a few weeks but nothing much happening. I STS the first week, lost half a pound the second and this week I have got back on track and lost 11/2 pounds. That makes 19 lbs altogether. I am starting to think of it as long term and not agonise too much about the week to week loss. I...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Thanks, Lanarkwitch. I am struggling a bit at present but think it is just the weather getting me down. I feel that if I can stick to the DDs then at least it is damage limitation however it coincides with a lunch out this week - first time! I am desperate to get in the 11's. Bound to happen...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    I do every other day Barbs, I find this works well. Today I am on an UD and I have really eaten a lot as now and again my body just says...FOOD! But I know tomorrow I will be back on track and probably fine for a couple of weeks. I expect it will take me at least a year to achieve what I...

    Starting the JUDDD journey

    Good luck! I find this a great way to go, not like dieting at all. For me it has been slow but steady. I use A WW meal on a DD with lots of extra veg. Also drinking plenty of water (I like flavoured Volvic) helps to keep the hunger pangs at bay. You have had a difficult year so perhaps...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Another pound gone. I hoped for more as I wanted to hit the 11's this week but it was not to be. Next week is not going to be easy as I have a meal out on a DD but I shall just have to manage it somehow. Lovely to see the weight slowly disappearing......although it would be even nicer to see...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Only half a pound this week but I am actually happy as I didn't think I would lose anything. Two meals out and a day of indulgence don't make for brilliant results. However I have been good on the DDs and feel ready to get stuck in this week. If I lose 2 lbs I will go down a 'number' and...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Another week, another pound and that is my first stone gone so I am really happy. I have also lost another half inch of my bust and waist so definite progress. This week I did rather over indulge on a couple of UD and my DD were hard at times but I did keep to my calories. Unfortunately we...

    Thanks Ladybird! I am having a bad week. I find this happens about 5 weeks into any weight loss and is the point I tend to give up and put it all back on again so I am trying to hang in there. I am sticking to the DDs but I know I am eating too much on the UD. I am preparing myself for the...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    I decided to measure myself to see how the vital statistics were doing. I have lost an inch from my bust, 1 1/2 inches from my waist and 2 inches from my hips. My skirts fit again!! Weigh in day tomorrow. How the weeks fly by.

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Weighed in after 6 days this week and I have lost another 1lb which is good. I expected things to slow down a bit. I can't believe I have been doing this for nearly 4 weeks. It has seemed so easy. I still find the DD easiest which seems a bit strange and this week I think I have had a little...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Week 3 done and another 2 lbs gone so that is 9lbs altogether and I am well pleased. I am starting to feel better too, not so tired, sleeping well and more energy. I find the DDays easiest as I know exactly what I am going to eat and as long as I keep up the fluids I don't feel hungry. UDs...

    Thanks Jilly, that was what I was hoping. I know it takes a while for your body to show lowered cholesterol levels and I have 6 months before my next blood test. In the meantime I am trying to keep my saturated fats as low as possible and eating plenty of the foods that help.

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Thanks everyone. I certainly had my calorie allowance yesterday and today (DD) I feel fine. As this is going to be a long haul I guess that is going to be the secret to success. I am not very active because of health problems so I am trying to keep my DD to about 400 and my UD to about 1750...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    I have just done my week 2 weigh in and have lost another 2 lbs so I am really happy. That is the first half stone gone in under 2 weeks as I weighed in a day early to avoid a weigh in after a UD. I am expecting it to slow down now but I am definitely keeping JUDDDing!

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    Thanks for the support and good advice. I am still feeling my way into this. I have got through the day but it was sheer determination. I think the problem was not eating enough yesterday so tomorrow I am going to make sure I have enough, although I hate eating if I am not hungry. I'll think...

    Hi LifesDesire, You are already very slim, but good luck with your weight loss. Yesterday evening I ate, I just needed to sin. I consoled myself with the fact it was an UD. Today I am back on the straight and narrow I hope. I don't want to start feeling guilty when I am eating normally...

    Thanks Daisymae2, Energy is still low but I hope it improves. Why is it that on an UD I just don't feel like eating? I don't know whether it is because I am worried I will put the weight back on that I lost on a DD and make the whole process a waste of time or if my body is just getting...

    SilverSlimmer's JUDDDD quest!

    I'm finding I don't feel the need to eat excessively in Up Days which is really good. In fact the treats I promise myself I am finding I don't bother with, so in that respect I really like this regime. However I am feeling really tired and lethargic. Now in the book it said people...

    Week one completed and I have lost 5 lbs so I am happy! I haven't found it too difficult. On DD I fast until dinner when I have a WW meal with lots of added veg. Then I have an apple before I go to bed or I wake hungry during the night. I drink lots of Volvic water. I have been sensible on...

    Glad you are enjoying it, Susan. I have just done my 20th mile and I got some different Leslie Sansone dvds in the post today so I can have a bit of variety. I think they are making me a bit fitter although I have to be careful not to overdo it as I have CFS.
  68. SilverSlimmer

    The difference a year makes - 5 stone gone!

    Congratulations! You look great and I am sure in terms of health and fitness it has been worth it. I find low carb suits me too but I am just following my own healthy eating rather than a diet plan. I hope I am as successful as you have been.

    Bella, I know you are going to make it as you seem to have the right attitude. I have just managed to get back into a dress I haven't worn for at least 8 years and which I made back in 1995. It is a very simple straight dress and you have to have lost the weight to get into it so I am feeling...

    Another small step

    ...in the right direction! I don't weigh in too often as my weight loss is very slow however I realise since I joined the forum I have lost another 4 pounds. I am now at my lowest weight since 2003 so I am a happy bunny. Cheers! SilverS

    how much bread?

    I decided I couldn't stand salads anymore for lunch so I have 2 slices of WW Malted Danish each day to make a sandwich. It suits me and I don't think it is too indulgent. SilverS

    Head

    Agree completely. For dieting I have to be 'in the mood' and when that goes then, forget it. That is why I have found healthy eating far more successful. I am not on a diet so I can not come off it. I don't have to feel guilty either. The weight loss is very slow but I am learning to live with...

    de-cluttering the home, as well as body & mind

    I checked out the FlyLady and found it really interesting but I don't really have a problem with keeping the house clean and tidy and organised and clutter free. What I find difficult is making time for myself, time to pamper and look after myself. By the time I get round to me I am too tired to...

    lbs V inches

    Good luck Bella, and remember you can whittle away those inches a bit by toning up. I think your targets with clothes will work too, it did for me. Nothing like the incentive of being able to fit into a favourite dress again and a great feeling when you get there. I used to decide I wanted to...

    Weighing mid week!!!

    Oh you're not strange at all, you're very normal! You've already lost a stone so you are doing really well. Don't buy the scales! Not sure how you can gag the Wii fit - but try!!!! SilverS

    lbs V inches

    Ditch the scales! I did last November and it is just wonderful. I use the tape measure instead. My weight loss is slow, I have just gone down a size, but the freedom is great. When you think about it it is logical. No one knows your weight, it's not tattooed on your forehead! What people see...

    difference in my body, pic... 55 pounds

    Oh well done. You look fantastic and you must feel so happy! Keep up the good work. SilverS

    Eating when I'm tired

    Oh, Gem that is really impressive! Well done. I really must try to improve my liquid intake. I have used low cal fruit juices and herbal teas in the past but I just forget....:sigh: Unfortunately the activity doesn't help me. With CFS if I do too much I suffer and pay for it. Pacing...

    Weighing mid week!!!

    I used to be forever jumping on the scales and becoming quite paranoid about my weight. If it hadn't gone down I would be despondent and think, why bother, and eat. If it had gone down I would think great, I can afford to have a treat, and eat. At the end of last year we had a new bathroom...

    Eating when I'm tired

    I wish I could power nap, I think that would help. Fruit is a good idea. I have to confess to being very bad about not drinking water! I hate the stuff and rarely feel thirsty. SilverS.

    clothes, weight loss and self image...

    Sonya, well done on the dress, it is so pretty! And a size 16! I'm getting there but not yet, lol! I would go for tights rather than leggings especially in the summer. I have lived in trousers for so long my husband gets quite ecstatic when he can see 'legs'! I am just starting to wear skirts...

    Eating when I'm tired

    I was just wondering if anyone else can relate to this. I find that when I am tired I tend to feel the need to eat, possibly in the hope of boosting my energy levels. Snag is that I tend to want a quick fix which is usually high in calories. This is a real problem as I suffer from Chronic...

    6 stone lost, 2 to go! :)

    Well done, you look great. Keep up the good work! SilverS
  110. SilverSlimmer

    just found a pic of me before!

    Those photos are amazing and the 'after' is a great incentive to keep the weight off. Well done. SilverS
  111. SilverSlimmer

    Updated Before/After - Better after and worse before!

    You really look like a different person! Well done on the weight loss. Hope you are enjoying your slimmer life. SilverS

    Before and Current

    I think you are tremendously brave to undergo surgery - and it has certainly been worth it. Well done! SilverS
  113. SilverSlimmer

    My Before and Afters! well not afters as im not quiet there yet lol

    Oh, well done. I think you need to live with your 'new' body a while and then decide whether to lose more. You look great as you are though. SilverS
  114. SilverSlimmer

    lost 50 pounds :) in 5 months

    That is just an incredible weight loss and you must be really proud of yourself. Well done. SilverS

    Tv show This morning debate - new idea about doctors calling 'fat' instead of obese.

    I am just glad that my Doctor is far too nice to call me fat! SilverS

    Father transforms his life after loosing 25stones!!

    That is incredible, but I always feel that, once they put their mind to it, men are much more single mind about losing weight than women. They don't seem to have all the emotional hang ups! Still, an amazing achievement. SilverS

    What's everyone reading at the moment?

    Love Sophie Kinsella books! At present reading Chromosome 6 by Robin Cook. SilverS

    BBC weight loss program

    I found this a very interesting programme although I saw it (or something similar) quite a while ago. I have started having a bowl of soup at lunch time and it really works well. SilverS

    UNBELIEVEABLY shocked

    How sad that parents do this to children. I am sorry she has been taken into care but perhaps this is the best thing for her in the long run. SilverS

    clothes, weight loss and self image...

    When I was losing 4 stone I discovered charity shops were a great way to get clothes that fitted without wasting a lot of money. However I still kept my large sizes and that was a big mistake. When I got down to the size I was happy with I also made the mistake of not buying a lot of lovely...

    Hynosis

    I had some hypnotherapy years ago but not for weight. It worked well at the time but once I stopped going the effect gradually wore off. I think it is a case of ...I think it will work, so it does! Once a doubt creeps in then it is no longer effective. No harm in giving a CD a go though, it's a...

    Feel silly that this is such an issue!!

    I honestly feel that you have to have your head 'in the right place' before you can diet successfully. I find a lot of positive planning and prep beforehand helps me get through the beginning phase which is usually quite hard. Setting realistic goals, having something nice that will fit you when...

    Granola & Breakfast

    I hated breakfast and usually the most I could manage was an apple but I was told to eat Granola to help lower my cholesterol and I absolutely love it. Best to make your own then you know what is in it. It is very easy - if I can make it anyone can! (Jumbo oats, cracked linseed, omega rich seeds...

    Why is it soooo different 2nd time around?

    What a great thread! Having lost 5 stone 9 years ago and then put three back on in the following year I have struggled ever since and never had the same motivation. Last year I changed my diet not to lose weight - I had given up - but to lower my cholesterol and guess what.... the weight is...

    de-cluttering the home, as well as body & mind

    I am a compulsive tidier and organiser so any clutter totally freaks me out. Of course I am going to say that sorting everything out will make you feel better because I really believe it will. Think of the sense of achievement if nothing else. Being busy also keeps your mind off food! Keep up...

    Emotions

    Oh, I can sympathise with you! Stress is a real trigger factor for me and being over tired too. I think we need to work on instant non food (and drink) treats to help us along but up to now I haven't found any that quite hit the spot like a biscuit!! I'm working on it though. Hugs, SilverS

    I think you have every right to feel thrilled. It is a great achievement. Well done! SilverS

    Finding an old picture of yourself

    I find old photos a brilliant motivation. I have to say I never appreciated how lucky I was when I was 7 1/2 stone and a size 8! I'll never get back to that but I can at least aspire to getting a little closer. SilverS
  132. SilverSlimmer

    Anybody notice change in the first few days???

    I would agree with sillykitten. I know it is really tempting to keep jumping on the scales to see if the diet is working but it best just to get weighed once a week at class. The weight you lose in the first few days is usually fluid anyway and so can fluctuate very easily. I have to say that...

    hello I'm new

    Hi Jacky, Good luck with your weight loss. I am new here too and would love to be 9 1/2 stone by December but I lose weight quite slowly! I'll be cheering you all the way. SilverS

    H.A.L.T!!!

    What a clever way to stop in your tracks before indulging! I will certainly remember it and give it a whirl. Thanks, SilverS

    And it's hello from me too!

    Hi everyone, I am trying to slim on my own using healthy eating so this seems a great place to visit. I used to be very slim, but age and life conspired to add the stones. I was once 3 stone heavier than I am now, WW managed to get rid of 4 stone but 3 crept back on. Last year I...
