    Yea it’s demoralising when that happens. I use the app happy scale which I find really useful as fluctuations are normal and as long as it shows a general downward trend I’m happy. bizarrely I weighed myself this morning and I was 3lbs lighter! I can’t think why. I expect it was a fluke and I...

    I think thats what you have to do isn't it, just make the best choices you can at any given time. Its impossible to be in control of your food 100% of the time which is why I have been disheartened with SW before. I'd feel like giving up if I had to go off plan, whereas now I'm telling myself I...

    Thanks @purpleorc - yes I'm sure I'm peri-menopausal which does't help with weightloss. Part of the reason I'm so annoyed with myself for not getting on top of my weight issues earlier in life - everything is harder as you get older. At least I have the benefit of wisdom?! Pilates sounds great...

    I decided for now to combine SW with IF. I am not going to be too strict with IF as I figure following SW will be enough to lose weight, but the reason I want to carry on with the fasting is that it really reduces my appetite. I did SW all day yesterday so my WI day will be wednesday. Lost 1lb...

    Even if you do go over the 500 cal you're still going to reap the benefits - I think I remember seeing that you need at least 1000 calorie swing? So as long as you're eating at least 1000 more on an up day that you are on a dd you'll be ok.

    Your food is sounding very good to me right now in the final stages of my dd! I have a recipe that needs spelt spaghetti so thats reminded me to get some. I've never had it but I enjoy spelt bread so will give it a go. Have a good dd!

    Louise's Intermittent Fasting and Fitness Diary

    Thanks Kate. Have found today really tough. I think it must be due to low calorie intake yesterday so not feeling so smug about it now! Was dreading the ww soup but it was ok actually and only 77 cal for whole can. So praying for a loss tomorrow. I need 2.5 lbs to get me back on track for my 6lb...

    Louise's Intermittent Fasting and Fitness Diary

    woken up this morning feeling a little peckish so wondering if I should have eaten more yesterday even if I wasn't that hungry. Today is dd and I'm not eating until 6pm. So far have a chunky bit of seeded bread and some ww soup planned, as well as my 100 mls of milk which takes me to 330. So 170...

    Chryssa's "lets get healthier" Food Diary..

    I was almost going to buy a set of those scales this - then I thought it might not be so good as I tend to get a bit bogged down with figures and its bad enough for me obsessing over the weight reading so might leave that idea for now! I think feeling slimmer seems to be a common theme on this...

    Jilly's JUDDing & liking it!

    Well done on the 1lb, your dedication is paying off. I can identify with what you say about the tummy rumbling but there being no question about cheating. What is it about this diet that makes it so easy to follow? And why couldn't i have discovered it 10 years ago!

    Louise's Intermittent Fasting and Fitness Diary

    Well clearly yoga is your 'thing' as running is mine (can hardly believe I'm saying that!) So much easier to stick to something when you enjoy it. Can you do yoga at home?

    Maintaining with JUDDD?

    Laura I'm so inspired seeing your losses, well done! And your before photo was not the worst before photo ever, even on that you looked lovely, so now you just look amazing! I can't believe how tiny your waist looks - I hope I can look even half that good when I'm done :)

    Mmm stop talking about weetabix you'll give me the munchies! If I get hungry I'll just think of rice pudding.....! My mum used to make it too and I think its the thought of the skin that used to form on top that I don't like.
  216. L

    Maccalenny's diary

    Sounds like you've had a good day calories wise today! Well done for resisting the rice pud - although I have to say I feel the same way about that as you do weetabix! :yuk: Those work trousers will be feeling loose soon :)

    My JUDDD Diary - 35 pounds to lose

    Thanks Kate, he's really chuffed as he ate pizza and hotdogs yesterday at a buffet! I WI Friday morning. Bit nervous about it really but as I've said before I'm in this for the long haul as I just feel so much better. Even if I lose 1/2 a pound a week I'll get there! As for the exercise I...

    Today has also been my best up day to date. Calc'd I;ve had 1500 cal (don't do this as a rule but was just curious) and I burnt 327 so only 1173 net. Not hungry AT all, whats happening to me!

    Some good news here - not my news but my OH has been doing 5:2 for 2 weeks now with me, and he weighed in 5lbs lighter this morning!

    I'm doing 5:2 and I think Maccelenny is too? I tried alternate days last week and couldn't hack it! I too leave my cals for the evening as I hate going to bed hungry!

    Chryssa's "lets get healthier" Food Diary..

    Just seen that you said you are going to do this permanently for the health benefits - me too! The horizon programme and all the reading I;ve sone since just blew me away. Weight loss is almost a pleasant side effect when you consider all the other benefits. I already 'feel' better. I can't put...

    Chryssa's "lets get healthier" Food Diary..

    I think thats the good attitude. It doesn't matter how long it takes you. as long as you get there. I think about how frustrating it is trying to lose weight, but the alternative is not trying and I know I'd be gaining 0.5 lb per week otherwise! Your food sounds lovely - I'm making a chickpea...

    My JUDDD Diary - 35 pounds to lose

    For me scale fluctuations put me on a massive downer, thats why I only (try to) WI once a week. That way if its not what I want to see then at least its only one day out of 7 that I feel hacked off. I couldn't handle WI everyday and seeing all sorts of mad fluctuations and trying to analyse why...

    Louise's Intermittent Fasting and Fitness Diary

    Thanks Chyrssa. I am pleased about the gym stuff as I've been a complete exercise phobe all my life. Even when I've been slim I've never been fit. So today is a glorious up day! In fact every day apart from Thursday will be as I'm doing 5:2. I've surprised myself by not stuffing food the moment...

    Louise's Intermittent Fasting and Fitness Diary

    I did get all my jobs done :)- and I also walked about 4 miles so think I might have overdone it a bit as seriously flagging now. The curry was ok actually - it was a king prawn count on us one from m&s and for £3 was fine. It had loads of king prawns in it which are expensive just on their...

    Yummy 210 cal meal

    It doesn't look too bad for a ready meal! I've got an m&s prawn curry tonight for 360 cal so hoping its nice as I don't usually partake of ready meals!

    Woo hoo totally smashed my own record at the gym again, I managed to run for 20 minutes, for the first time in my life ever :) :) In that time I covered 3.2K, so I think I'm on track to cover 5K in 35 minutes, which is my ultimate goal. Then I'll move onto 10K - yikes! The funny thing was I did...

    The JUDDD Diary of Paranoia

    I;m very impressed with all your calorie calculations - makes my head swim just looking at it! Obviously working for you. Can I ask what you do to burn 750 cal? I currently jog but interested in trying a few more things out at the gym.

    Debridgers' JUDDDering diary & Ramblings

    Totally in agreement re eating healthier on up days. I am really going to be more conscious of it this week. Still going to eat all the things I fancy, just maybe at the weekend, not all week long! :)

    Woken up feeling very positive. going to finish painting the kitchen, do weekend clothes washing, go to holland and barratt to get some healthier snackage, then going to gym to run my 3k and walk the remaining 2k. Should burn 300 cals and its a down day. Now can I do it all in 6 hours before I...

    Can anyone recommend a good pair of scales?

    I really need to get some decent ones as my manual ones are very hard to read, and sometimes seeing a pound or half pound drop can make all the difference! Ideally I want some that measure, weight, fat %, and bmi. Thanks X
  239. L

    Yippeeeeee I'm overweight!!

    Already said well done in your diary but again EXCELLENT well done! P.s What scales do you have? I'm getting some new ones. Mine are an old manual pair and go up in 2lb increments so hard to tell if I've lost half a pound or something.

    Wow that is so good well done 5lbs! Woo hoo for being overweight, hopefully i'll be joining you soon!

    Debridgers' JUDDDering diary & Ramblings

    Yeah thats half the reason I'm doing it tbh. I have been overweight for years but if I can nail this fasting twic a week thing then at least I'll be healthier, even if I'm still big. Obviously the other half of me is doing it for pure vanity! Well done on your inch loss!

    Thanks Jilly - I know you speak sense! Well - as expected sts this week. I'm going to do a little sad face now, :( I know its totm related, and that usually I'd probably have gained weight, but even so, the sad face is because at the end of 2 weeks (well actually 11 days) on this I've only lost...

    Well if this diet is one things its a learning curve. I already feel 100% more disciplined than I did this time last week. I have the luxury of being at home though, I'm not sure how I'd cope at work so you've just got to take it as it comes and not stress too much over food choices. Thats the...
