I dont weigh everyday (too scared), but I'm beginning to think I should, just for interest sake, to see how my weight fluctuates between UD's and DD's.

As I have already said I have absolutely no doubt that you have lost this week. Especially since you can feel it by the way your clothes fit. That is even more of a true reflection than the scales. So next week you will be shocked when you see the big loss. So be prepared. Good luck for this...

Just popping in to say congrats once again and have a fab day. Linda x

Hi hun you have not messed up at all. Thats whats great about JUDDD. You can make up any damage that has been done. You will have that loss. Just keep going. Best of luck and have a great day. Linda x

Upside down? :8855:I'm not so bad afterall.

I am sure there is a loss it just does not show, but it will soon. Don't be disappointed you are doing amazing and we all look up to you. Keep going as you always do. Have a great day Linda x

A brilliant loss Lily. Well done. Keep it up. Linda x

I like the sound of that. Well done Fizzyfluff. That is a brilliant loss. Keep it up. Linda xx

Glad to hear you all better. Enjoy the Ab Glide. Sounds like loads of fun. I will google and see what its all about as I need to start doing something. Have a lovely day tomorrow Linda x

Oh my I will have to get my hands on those kievs. Sounds a real treat. I cant wait now.

Totally agree with this plan fitting in with lifestyle. Weekends have always been my downfall too. We're loving it! Have a lovely day tomorrow. Linda x

Good luck with weigh in tomorrow Lily. Wishing you mega losses. x Linda

You did more than ok today. Well done. That is a superb intake for the day. My cakespedition went a bit north today, if you know what I mean, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Will be good on Sunday (DD). I can understand why people start looking forward to DD's. :D Have a nice day tomorrow. xx Linda

Just popping in to wish you well for your weigh in. I have no doubt you will have a mega loss. Hope you had a super dooper double down day too. Did you manage well? Good luck. Linda x

Got a bit freaked out when I saw the words app and phone. I'm totally useless when it comes these things. Will get OH to lend a hand :D Thanks hun x

Glad you are coping better now. The day is almost over. Nearly nearly!

Would that be like the ticker thing? I have seen people have it on vlcd, but have not looked into it. Will just do a quick google.

Thanks for that. It is good to know. I have been in the predicament in the week and did actually feel like death on my DD after not eating enough on my UDthe day before. 1500 cals instead of 1891. Causing me to go over on my DD slightly. Could it have been a factor?

Thanks Fizzy. I quite like your signature. If you dont mind I'd like to borrow it. I just need to figure out what my goal weight should be. I know what I'd like to be, but need to see where the diet takes me. Enjoy the rest of your day

Same with me. I can deal with hunger most of the time. I eat out of habbit, boredom and other factors. Dont worry you'll be fine. Once you have cracked your first DD you will be fine, because you know you can do it. The rest is mind over matter. Like everybody says the thought of having it...

Thanks Ruth. Well done once again to you too. I hope that a lot of other people who are at their wits end will come one board. I was really perplexed before I started, but I have no regtrets for trying. As I say it is early days, but I feel it is something I can stick to. I just need to learn to...

Thanks all. Lol. I'm already working on tomorrow's cheesecake.

Thanks ladies. Really chuffed. All the reason for us all to hang in there ;)

Good idea I completely forgot!

Perfect sense. Yeah that is how I tend to do it, it works best. Was thinking of changing it to all day eating, but then I thought why mess with a plan that works.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm drooling :eating:

I know. I would not do this diet otherwise. Its like having your cake and eating it.

Thanks hun. I would not have thought it could be done if is was not for you guys who tried and tested the recipe. Now that menu looks yum yum. Do you spread all your meals over the day. Or do you concentrate most of them later in the day or at the same time?

Have yourself a lovely time as long as you know this diet is doable. It takes away half the stress of losing weight. Linda x

Yum yum. Enjoy. DD for me though :( Good luck with your journey home. Linda x

Thanks Jo. Surprised more than anything, but very pleased. I had cake every UD, so was a bit worried, but hey it all turned out well.

Hi hope you are having a lovely DD today Linda x

I hope it is just a wind and that you get it out of your system quickly. Good luck and hope you get better soon. Linda x

Not sure if its the stomach shrinking or the appetite being suppressed to be honest, but something to that effect.

Well done for starting. You will love it and the support is great. DD can be testing, but guess what your stomach shrinks very quickly once you stick to the DD's and you actually have to force yourself to eat on the UD's. Best of luck and keep posting. Linda x

6 lbs for me ;) First WI Linda x

Ahw So sorry you not feeling well hun. Hope it goes away sooooon. Just keep warm and up the Vit C if you can. Good luck for both DD's. I'll be listening how you get on. Let us know your menu. I am still to decide what to have today (DD), but that cheesecake seems lovely. yum yum. Linda xx

Wow great Ruth. Well done you. This diet works is all I can say. Linda x

Hi all. Sorry for not posting, had a hectic schedule, but I'm not bad at all. The diet is still going strong. I had my first weigh in yesterday and had whopping 6lbs loss. So I'm happy. It does not look like I've lost anything yet, but I'm sure I'll get there. I do feel good though. DD today and...

Hiya Hope you had a good day hun. Was it a DD today? Hope it went well.

Welcome Kelly. Hope your DD went well. Linda x

BB? Oh dear off to the telly I go

I echo that! Could not agree more about the opposite effect it has on you in terms of your eating.

Dont worry hun, this day is nearly over. Be strong.

Its definitely your stomach shrinking I think. I experience the same and I'm only in it for one week. I still cant believe that my body can manage on 500 calories a day without becoming stressed out.

;) Thanks Trefoil

Good on you for getting that exercise in there as well. I'm hoping to get myself into exercise soon. I will get there. Like you I am not keen on exercise and diet so they do not come naturally, but I'll get there in the end. I also ended up having more than my DD calories today, but hopefully I...

Hi Karenlou Wow eating out on a DD. This is a dream diet. Have a lovely time away. Linda XX

Hi Ruth I hope you have your feet up by now or somewhere on an exercise machine. Have a great workout. Wish I could get my lazy a in a gym. Maybe when I'm thinner. Good luck with totm and keep warm. Linda xx

I agree with this Jo. I find the same thing. I am not counting calories, but I know for sure I am not eating all my cals. Not deliberately at all, I am just stuffed. Good going you. Have a nice day. I also had a DD today, but had some good ole caramel sweeties. Went over by 50 cals though. Hope...

Hello my lovelies Sorry for responding to you now only. The weekend was great. Lots of jollies. I hope yours was great too. So since last Wednesday (start day) my JUDDD looked as follows: Wednesday: UD Thursday: DD Friday: UD Saturday: UD Sunday: DD Monday: UD Tuesday...

Hi Pingu6. Thanks for your comment in my diary. Good luck with your IF. I was considering doing that too. I love the flexibility of this diet. I am swopping my UD today to a DD. Hope all goes well. Have a nice day. Linda

Thanks gentoo. You have a great weekend too. xx

So today I turned my DD into an UD due to commitments. Tomorrow will be a UD as planned or I might change it to a ID. Will see how it goes. So that is 3 UD's in a row. I'm not stressed about it, because I know I am going to return to DD on Monday and continue on plan. Not being stressed about it...

Hiya. Do join. The people here are lovely. I have just joined on Wednesday and even though I have only done one DD so far I dont feel like have fallen off the wagon as I use to feel when I did vlcd and CC. This diet has definitely already changed my attitude towards eating. Today was meant to be...

Hi Curlyzcoop. This is a bit of a tricky weekend I suppose especially with it being a long weekend and party atmosphere. I hope I can stick to my DD today since it is the weekend afterall. Enjoy the UP weekend. Linda x

Congrats for getting into the 12's. It is my dream. Nice to see everyone working their way down on this diet. Have a fab day. Linda x

I'm sure you'll have a loss. Even better that the clothes are fitting looser. Thats what I'm aiming for. Hope it comes around quickly. Good luck with weigh in tomorrow. Linda

Cant wait to see your losses tomorrow. Best of luck. Hope you're had a good DD too. Linda x

Hi guys. I had a lovely UD. I am quite stuffed now so off to bed I go to face another DD tomorrow. Struggled a bit on my first DD. I did not sleep well due to hunger, but I'll take your word when you say it gets easier. Enjoy your day tomorrow too.

Hi Ruth While still suffering my first DD I just had to come to your diary and take a peek at one of the DD. The one where you list all the foods so I can be better prepared for my DD's I am amazed at how much food you squeezed out of your 500 calories. Genius! Enjoy your day Linda

Thanks Karenlou. I have a massive headache, but I am going to push through. I have had all the water, squash, teas, coffees, 2 sweets, crackers, and chai latte I am allowed (not all very healthy choices) and I'm still starving. My total calories so far are 226. I have a max of 379. Will have the...

Yesterday was a good day. I only managed to get to 1500 calories instead of 1800 something as I'm supposed to. Did not add calories intentionally. Dont want that to be the focus of my day otherwise I wont enjoy the diet. I am still super excited about the diet. I know I should not, but I could...

Hi Jo. UP Day. MMmmmm. Thanks for the information on fast day. I think I'm going to try and see how far I get today on a fast. If I feel like having my shake and whatnot I will have it as late as possible in the day. Have a fab day. I am already looking forward to my UP day tomorrow. x

Hi Jo I just read your post on my diary. No probs hun. Its nice to know that we newbies have guidance to this diet. It makes a world of difference to know that it has been tried and tested. I did read your post somewhere about doing a fast day. That is rather interesting. If you do a fast day...

Thanks Karenlou. Whenever I think this diet is too good to be true I read your diary just to make sure my mind is not playing tricks on me and that you do lose weight if you follow it. I know it is still early days, but I do feel more positive than I have ever felt starting a diet or rather a...

Thanks all. I feel very welcome. I have done a diary. Started today. Its an Up day so I can't complain. Good luck to you all. Will keep posting. x

Hi All. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Linda and desperate to lose weight. I have now successfully stalked everybody's diary and needless to say you have convinced me. This is a lovely thread with lovely people. Keep up the good work. xx

Hi Thanks for the tips BaJoleth. Congrats on your losses. You are all such an inspiration right now. I was just about to give up on all diets. I have been stalking all your diaries over the last couple of days and it sure has been a good read. You make it all seem so effortless the way you all...

I am currently in awe of everyone's progress and enthusiasm on the JUDDD thread. After a year of messing about on diets I have finally found what looks like the real thing. JUDDD seems to look like the only way forward. I am currently 13st5lb and would like to be 10st23lb. That is about a 3st to...

Hiya. Dont know whether a 40lbs loss is achievable on WS, but I'm gonna try anyway. So I'm in. CaptHowdy - 0lbs lost, 50lbs to go Handbag-Annie, 0lbs, 50 to go! Dawnybabes - 0lbs, 50lbs to go Meme85 - 0lb lost, 50lb to go! brummum - 0lb lost, 50lb to go Mia - 0lb lost, 14lb to go SunnyDaze -...

Ah thanks Star catdog: 17lb goal/0lb lost Trisha 14lbs - 0 lbs lost Linda 14lbs - 0 lbs lost

I'll join too if its ok. Linda 14lb goal/0lbs lost Thanks x

Thanks Loopeylou. The stats are looking good at your end. Well done. Hope I can get that much off soon. Good luck and keep going. All support welcome xx

So I am starting tomorrow. What more can I say, apart from what I have already said and promised about my weight loss before. Not another fat summer is all I can think of right now. Will weigh in the morning. I will stick to the plan and loads of house chores. This time I need to be more...

Hi Flumpet Good luck to you! I am starting on Monday. Cant wait. Keep posting and enjoy. xx

Hi Wannabe Weeney I saw your post on combining just after I posted mine and it is very helpful indeed. I am also looking forward to seeing your losses and I'm sure they will be great. I agree with the meal experience in the evening. On pure Exante that was the time I always fell off the wagon...

Oh wow that is great to know Starlight. I think I will also learn to portion control with S&S. I am all excited now about starting. I cant believe it took me so long to discover S&S. I wasted so much time. So here goes!! Thanks xx

I have been doing or rather struggling with them since last May. I hardly got through day one. So everyday would be day one. That is how it went through three bumperpacks. Took me a long time to realise that it is not for me. :cry:

Yeah I agree with going with what works for me. I think I should go with S&S totally especially since I know what needs to be done to get this weight off. Ideally I would want to do at least one Exante shake a day (just to get rid of the lot), but if it means I am going to fall of the wagon then...

Hi All My brain wont register that a shake is a meal. I know this sounds funny, but I have just realised that this is the reason why I constantly fail on Exante. Whether it is the shake or the soup I just cant do it. I did a S&S sample day and got through it no problem. This has probably...

Hi Tibbytoots Good luck to you too. Unfortunately I have just fallen off the wagon. :cry:I guess I am just not cut out for this sort of thing. I think I'll just try to eat less and be happy with slower losses. So I am waving all my short terms goals goodbye. I was 3lbs down this morning...

Struggled with some evil thoughts this morning, but whenever they came up I look at a pic of the dress I am going to wear in two weeks. Oh dear I have to do this. There is no other way. :sigh: So far 1 and a half litres of water and two cups of coffee and trying to stay focussed on working. Of...

Hi Nicola Thanks for your reply. Yes it totally makes sense. There is hope afterall. I am 5'6 and carry all my weight bottom half. I guess I must just dress sensibly, worst case scenario. However I think this is a good wake up call. It was only when I tried to get into that size 14 that I...

Hi Nicola Well done for getting back on track. You losses are amazing. I am starting today. Just a quick question. Were you able to feel and see the losses after two weeks on Exante? I am quite desperate to go into a size 14 dress for a wedding. I am currently a 16 (I assume as my 14's dont...

Hi Danii Many thanks for your post. I appreciate it. It looks like I'm going to need to all the help I can get. The possitivity I had last night is already slipping away slowly. I'm not giving up yet though. So far I only had a coffee no milk and a 500 ml water. I see many people have their...

Its been almost a year since I last did a wee bit of a diary and a diet. I'm so inconfident because of my weight at the moment. I am not good with diaries, but I guess I'm so desperate right now, hopefully doing it will help get me through this time. It is three bumperpacks and no weight loss...

Hi Scotminx. Thanks for your reply. Your losses are brilliant. It gives me hope to carry on WS/TS. Had a WS day today and will see how I feel each day and make a decision. It will probably be WS all the way. Rather slowly than not at all. Good luck and keep up the good work. xx

Hey thanks Determinator. Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately I just dont have the balls. No can do. I just cant deal with this hunger at all. Day 4 was even worse than day 3. Si I guess its over and out. Will give WS a go. Hope I can have some losses. I do struggle to find information...

Thanks girlygirl1. I survived the night. Day 4 today. Lets hope for the best. I have done two weeks of it before but had a break in the middle of it. Hoping to get through at least two weeks this time. I find it a bit tough. Will probably try WS if I dont make it to two weeks. Have a nice day all

Day 1: 100% Day 2: 100% Day 3: Nearly 100% About day 3: After 3packs, 4 litres of water, 3 cups coffee, 1 cup of tea, 1litre of coke zero, 1 slice of roast beef, two magazines filled with thin people and nice clothes, why am I struggling so badly with this diet? What else do I need to get...

You go SophieLily we will do it. xx

:argh::argh:Today I am restarting as I have fallen off the wagon several times before. I started well about a month ago, but then my stash ran out. Secretly I was mega pleased because I had an excuse to overinduldge. Due to so many party invitations I just thought what the heck. Needless to say...

Hi Moonie. Have been off Exante since my packs ran out two weeks ago. Cant decide whether I should get another bumper or just find some other diet. Had and still having lots of bbq's, so I might get the Atkins new and start reading. Well done on your progress and keep going. I do still have a...

Hi Amzie. Well done with your 5lbs loss. That is brilliant for not a 100% week. Shows you it can be done. Here is to the next week 100%. Good luck! Have a great week. Remember we are all in the same boat. So keep rowing. XX

Hi Moonie. Oh Super Well Done You!!! I am so happy for your loss and the effect it has on you. You will only get better from here on. I have no doubt you will achieve your goal in absolutely no time. I have not been too bad. Having had a totm week and day 6 off plan I had a loss of 4lbs. I...

Hi Moonie. Oh Super Well Done You!!! I am so happy for your loss and the effect it has on you. You will only get better from here on. I have no doubt you will achieve your goal in absolutely no time. I have not been too bad. Having had a totm week and day 6 off plan I had a loss of 4lbs. I...

Hi Moonie. Today is going ok on my side. Thanks for asking. Day 6 today. Was really tough yesterday. I was so hungry. In the process I tortured my OH. I have to refrain from that. Not fair on him. Well, in the end I stayed strong though, but I would not have felt bad if I caved in. I was...

Way to go girl! Well done. Good attitude. xxx

I started again on Sunday. So today is my 5th day. The only reason why I made it to today is because I changed my attitude. I have never made it past the first day before, because I would have a blip and then think thats it its over. I have not been 100% so I have messed it up now, because I...

@ Bouncybride I love your view on the diet. I must admit I believed that the only way to do this diet is to do it 100%. I had to learn that sometimes I will fall off, but I can come back and it will still work. I dont want to feel that I have failed. We would all love to be 100% and hats off to...

I will go to the bbq, but will try not to eat. I will therefore inform the hostess before the time of my intentions. Knowing my friends I will be the joke of the evening, but thats ok. I can take it. My dream would be to not indulge in any bbq's or whatsoever for the next 4 weeks (it is my 1st 4...

So sorry to hear, but that wont happen again as you now know it makes you feel bad afterwards. Not worth it, but it could have been worse. Good luck and stay strong willed. You know you can do it. xx

I do the business's accounts. I must say I need a complete change from that sort of thing. Will have to think really hard about pursuing my interests, because, tbh for the last number of years I hardly had any, but I would love to do something I enjoy as well. If there is such a thing.

I am based at home too. I was in a very stressful job and gained a lot of weight as a result (if I may blame the job). I have resigned that fulltime job now and are helping out in my husbands business. Occasionally I do a bit of freelance work. I would really like to work for myself though (Any...

Hi charliecherrycake. Welcome and good luck with your journey. As a newcomer I find the posts very inspirational and motivational I know it will do the same for you. Good luck with the hunger pangs. Be strong. We are all in the same boat.

Well done so far Moonie. Yeah looking forward to not being hungry anymore. I was also starving a minute ago. Had a cup of tea. All meals (shake, soup, bar) and 4L of water done for the day. Had my bath too. Im so happy I was not tempted for hubby's dinner. xx

Cupcake16 Good luck with your journey. As you know by now you are not alone in your quest. xx

Thanks ILurvDeCake. Well done on your loss so far. I cant wait to just get to day 7. I guess that is the main aim right now. @txgardenia I must admit had I not come on here last Thursday I would not be on day 2, because I was at breaking point. The words of support was a huge motivator. So...

Hi Padbear. Thanks so much for your post. Absolutely love the pointers. May I add, I tried a few and they are very helpful indeed. I am in the fortunate position to be at home at the moment so can focus on the diet completely. I have an invitation from friends again for the weekend. I have...

Day 1 was not too bad. Did feel a bit hungry at bedtime. I guess the worst is yet to come. My throat is constantly dry. Had 3L of water yesterday apart from 1 cup of coffee, tea and 2 glasses of coke zero. Day 2: Had vanilla shake (lovely) and 500 ml of water. Fingers crossed today.

Hi Shell. I am new on here, but before I started I read quite a few posts. Yours included. Can I just say I think you are doing amazing. I hope you feel better soon an get all that positive spirit back that you always have. xx

Thanks guys. It is good to know. The Cambridge Diet has a thread on all the recipes that you can make from the diet packs, but I must say if it kills the nutrients I'd stick to having them in the prescribed way. The crisps thing sounds nice though. mmmm

Does anyone know if we are allowed to make crisps out of the soups as I have seen being done on the CD diet? Is it allowed?

Hi geordiebear. I am only starting my self too. So at this stage all I can say is best of luck to you. By the looks of it we can certainly count on lots of support on here. Stay strong. We can do it. xx

Thanks Foo Fan. I hope it lasts. Good luck to you too. xx

Hi Moonie. I agree I dont like the chocolate shake either. I think I will put two splenda tablets in them. Might just work better. 3L of water wow. I hope I get them down. I find if I fill a one small 1 litre bottle it goes down better than having glasses. Will see. Have not bought any flavoured...

Well here goes my first day. Or rather getting through the first day. First shake down and a glass of water. I just had an invitation from friends to join for lunch. I declined. Darn. Right now eating is not an option. Have to TS for the first 4 weeks at least. Lets see how the rest of the day...

Hi Jane. Well done to getting to day 6. Like I said before I will be watching to see how you all get on, learn from you and use it to help myself get on. I am starting tomorrow and hope to get to day 6 mentally in tact. xx

Just like other posters I also think this is excellent detective work from Starlight. However, is the whole world on the biggest loser bars? At £1.20 I am struggling to find them at Tesco. Asda stocked up again at £1.50 after being out last week. Need to stock up.

Hi Moonie . Good luck to you and everybody else starting their journey. You are going to look amazing in Florida. I will be following your diaries. I am starting tomorrow and will compare notes. xx

Wow txgardenia. Thanks that is so insightful. Will definitely get my hands on a copy. A friend of mine says it takes two weeks to unlearn a habbit. I have never put it to the test and wondered if its true. Everything you say is so true and I dont want food to rule my world anymore. x

Ps: @Custardtart - 1 st- 3 weeks. That is amazing. Congrats. Thats enough reason for me to stick it out for even just three weeks.

Many Thanks all for your words of encouragement. I already feel more positive. I was really down about my weight last night. I have about 40 lbs to lose. It does have a huge effect on my self esteem. Mostly because I lost a lot of weight two years ago and has put it all back on. So I feel a bit...

Thanks so much for your reply. I really need to do that list and diary. I think most people who are successful on this diet are the ones who reach out and talk about their progress. Must say it took me a long time to come on here, because I felt a little bit vulnerable. I know there are good...

Can someone please tell me that I can do this diet. I bought my bumper pack 3 months ago. I have started every Monday and by dinner time I would dig into a big plate of food, telling myself that I would start again on Tuesday, only to never return. It is driving me mental. How do people get...
