Come back weebuns, hope you're Kay Xc

Hi I can't eat a banana from its skin. I have to peel it and bin the skin and all the stringy bits then eat it. I can't even bear to watch someone else eat a banana straight out of the skin. Yak it's just wrong Lol... And one of my many OCDs X

I feel your pain :-( I had to part with my 2 cats about 8 years ago now, and still think about them all the time. One of then is still going at 19.5 years old and still looks like a kitten. She's happy as long as she is fed and stroked. Lyra will be fine Xx

Hi. I'm kind of mixing SW with 5:2 and calorie counting at the moment. Depends on how my day is going. Not ideal but the scales are going in the right direction so I'll carry on for now. X

I hope the result is what you wanted weebuns. I'm really glad we will stay together X

Hi. I lost 1.5lbs this week xx

Only 1lb off for me :-(

I only lost 1 lb. I'm a little disappointed because I did the Great North Run on Sunday and thought those 13 miles would of burned off a fair few calories. Oh well, at least I raised lots for my charity X

Is pease pudding just a NorthEast thing? I've lived in Durham all my life and never tried it i didn't realise it was a local food stuff. My Mum used to make her own when i was a kid, but at the time the smell of it was evil. And so was parmesan now I think of it and I love that now. Might give...

Well done. You're doing great. Keep it up :-)

Can I join please? Would like to lose 30lbs by Christmas X

Oooh. Where can I find the recipe for 1 syn lemon meringue pie? Sounds fab Xx

Oh no. I filled up reading that you will not be posting :-( Yours is my favourite diary and you've done so well. I read lots of diaries but rarely post these days. I'm need to get back on a diet and not just read about other people's but instead I seem to be finding the weight others are losing...

Thanks. I'll give it a try. You're doing brilliant by the way x

Hi weebuns What is the app you use for your food photographs? Hope you don't mind me asking X

That puppy is so cute. What did you call him? X

Hi Catbus How are you doing? Hope you're still going strong after your brilliant 8lb loss the first week X

Hi. If you're still looking for a cheap tablet. I bought a tesco hudl last week which is as good as my google nexus tablet. £119 full price but you can get it for £60 if you have tesco club card vouchers of that value X

Congratulations on your baby girl. Do you still watch Revenge? It was all going on in the last episode this week X

Hi I'm in a similar position. I started CWP today and reached 3pm having only 1 shake but then there was food available at work leftover from a meeting. It was going in the bin unless it was eaten and I couldn't resist. I did manage to ignore that cakes :o) but I had 4 little sandwiches. So...

Hi I am re starting CWP today and wondered if it is ok the drink Lidl's Knightsbridge Very Berry caffeine free tea? Ingredients; Hibiscus, Apple Pomace, Sweet Blackberry Leaves, Rosehip, Chicory root, Liquorice root, Natural flavourings, Blackberries (0.5%), Blueberries (0.5%), Raspberries...

Hi. I've just been reading your thread. I'm curious how do you manage drinking all the water and not needing the loo every 10 minutes while you're teaching? I work with schools but not in a teaching capacity and am very self conscious that I always seem to be going to the toilet when nobody...

Hi Ruth OMG - long time no see. See the attached article link re; type 2 diabetes Reversing Type 2 Diabetes - Newcastle Magnetic Resonance Centre - Newcastle University Maybe you could try combining JUDDD or 5:2 diet with slimming world, since you were very good at JUDDD before. Sorry to...

What's the exciting news? Tomorrow was 2 days ago now... Lol X

Lovely dress. What shop is it from? X

Wow that's fantastic. What did change from when you started and wanted to lose weight. Compared to just maintaining? X

That's brilliant. Happy anniversary. How much have you lost in that year? X

Yes it has a one way road running through it. I only saw one car drive along it in a week and a few buses that were dropping off people arriving for their holiday. It was not a main road.

Viva Menorca in Cala n Bosch was lovely and kids orientated. Mine were 7 and 4 years when we went this year

You're doing fab. X

Brilliant, keep it up X

You're doing fab Lily. My 'final' restart is tomorrow. I've recruited people from work to in a competition with and we are being sponsored... So hopefully this will be my last and best attempt. Not looking forward to the scales tomorrow, being on holiday all week for half term has had up eating...

Hi Ruth I'm struggling to get my brain into diet mode. Had 2 good DD's straight after New Year, then 2 ID's and then I was back to work and it's completely gone out the window. I am having an alcohol free January - and that is having a negative effect on my diet because I am eating cakes and...

Hi Ruth Lovely to see you back. You look good in both your before and after pics! Have you lost all your 27lbs doing JUDDD? My memory is rubbish X

Tomorrow I'm back to work and planning a very good DD x

Defo quiet - wish Jo and Ruth were back x

Hi Fizzy I'm the same. I was full of good intentions on New Years Day and had 2 days CWP then realised I wouldn't be able to keep that up and switched to JUDDD, but have had 2 ID's and today an UD. Trying harder from tomorrow and going to copy Hannah's split of 5 till 5 and see if that is...

Thanks Hannah I think I'll try that from Tuesday when I'm back to work. I had a double DD to start with this week but then 3 ID's in a row. Too hard while I'm home and the fridge so close and kids to feed. I really admire your ability to keep off the scales, I'm a daily weigher and it's not...

Hi Hannata Did u do u 5-5 changeover right from the start of doing JUDDD? What is the black dot on your schedule? Thanks X

Hello Been a while but think I'm going to JUDDD again. Have been intending to ever since my summer holiday but my planned DD always turn into an up. But after a bout of S&D I have not eaten for over 30 hours and feel I should make the most of it and call that my first DD. Haven't been on the...

Well done t2g, you beat me. It took me 5 weeks to get to a loss from my initial gain after moving over from CD. Here's hoping the pounds now continue to drop off for both of us XxX

Good luck Phoenyx. How long do u plan to keep off the scales? X

Hi. This sounds good for you right now XxX

Thanks girls. Strange thing tho this week my UD DD pattern went out the window. Friday Saturday Sunday Tuesday Wednesday were all UD's and only 1 of those being 2000 the rest were in excess of 3000 due to alcohol and meals out. Monday Thursday Friday DD's first 2 were under 300 and yesterday...

Well done Jo. How many calories did you have yesterday? Sorry if it's already here somewhere. X

got on the salters body fat scales and my weight had dropped by 8lb in 2.5weeks which is rubbish. My usual scales are WW and there was an initial diffrence of 0.75lbs in my weight on the different scales. Next time I got on the difference was bigger 1.8lbs and today the difference is 6lbs...

Morning Ruth and stef x Official WI , drum roll.... 11st 10.25lbs Yeah loss of 1.5 lbs :-) I might try my body fat scales now if I can find where I wrote my original weights when I bought them a couple of weeks ago X

Hi wobblebottom I'm just catching up with the diaries (instead of ironing). You're doing really well. Enjoy your weekend and aim for a good DD on Monday to get back into it. You're doing brilliant X

Good luck with your WI tomorrow, fingers crossed you don't have a gain XxX

Hi t2g I'm behind on all diaries this week. Sorry you're struggling, but hope u ended up enjoying the Chinese. Hope you get back into it soon. What day is your WI? X

Hi Lily Glad you're back. Wish my OH had to diet with me, he eats mostly rubbish and drinks way too much yet there's not a picking on him. It was one of my first targets to weigh less than him... He will never understand how hard dieting is. Not that I wish it on him really, but I know he...

She's sounds full of her own self importance, silly b**ch. Karma will catch up with her sometime soon Ruth X

I've pushed through the hunger by having some sugar free jelly and a cup of tea.. My official WI tomorrow and I'm determined to finally have a loss that takes me under my JUDDD start weight, especially since I joined the June challenge Good luck to everyone with WI's this weekend XxX

49 calories per Kiev. I thought there were less, I was planning 3 tonight but that will take me over 500...

I've got the munchies. I know I won't get through the night without something. Can't decide between a solero or 3 mini kievs... What do u think? I'm usually more a savoury gal than one with a sweet tooth but not sure if the sweet treat might fill me more X

Too late I ate it already. Wasn't nice, too strong and bitter so I only had 3 bite think I will manage to keep under 500 calorie today. My DS was sent home poorly from nursery and is supposed to be going to a show with her Granma tonight and she's been very excited about it. I know there will be...

Someone at work is selling homemade triple choc muffins in aid of guidedogs for the blind... A good cause so how can I resist, but not good for my DD X

I think today will turn into an ID... I'm starving already :-(

Morning I'm having another DD today because I need Saturday to be UD. I hope it goes as well as yesterday. Mfp said it was in negative calories with my exercise. I was 11st 12lbs this morning... After 5 weeks of JUDDD I'm really hoping my official WI tomorrow will show a loss X

Morning Ruth I don't want to be on flood alert after it took me 5 hours to get home from work last week in it... Hope it's a good day instead X

What do u know LoopeyLou? X

I've only had 200 calories today, I'm not hungry at all so even going to skip the solero... And I played netball X

Stop guessing!!! I've just remembered I bought a sack of soleros last week and haven't tried one yet... I hope it lives up to the hype ;-) X

No I'm not pregnant... My husband would have a fit a the thought of a third ginger terror in our household... Lol And it's nothing to worry about. I hope to reveal all soon XXX

Hello all Sorry I'm quiet, lots going on but maybe secret at the mo. Not sure if I could give the game away here. Nothing to worry about but I'll be unlikely to post here for up to a month. Hope everyone else carries on doing well. I'll still be watching XxX

Hi. Pleased you're back and ok. Do u know what was causing the stomach problems? Hope u managed to dodge any grief at work... Might as well have a silver lining to being poorly XxX

Hi Jo I've just had a sweet and sour noodles pot shot that I copied from you a couple of weeks ago then forgot about. I looked very unappetising when I first poured the water on, but tasted much better than it looked and was extremely filling, although I did have 80 calories worth of M&S...

Hi Ruth. Hope you are ok. I need your Beavers expertise. My son only started Beavers after Easter when he had turned 6 years, but tonight he is becoming an official Beaver and they are having a little ceremony I believe. Then he will be allowed a scarf and woggle I think. Does this process...

Hi Ruth. I'm propping my eyes open with matchsticks waiting to find out how things went for u at work today. I'm hoping no news is good news XxX

I do not grunt tennis style but there are quite a few in the club that do. I seemed to be target practice tonight... Shot 5 times with the shuttle, twice by my own doubles partner. They really hurt, I'll be checking for bruises tomorrow, the men slam way too hard for me. Hungry again now, I...

I was doing so well on my DD, only had 220 calories by 6pm. Was planning on a small bowl of soup before badminton, then while soup was heating I found a family steak pie from local butchers that my hubby had half of for lunch... I'm sure u can guess the rest :-( I'm hoping 1 hour of badminton...

Good luck with this one Lauren. I've seen you popping up on most of the diet threads. Hope WW is the one that works for you X

Hi Fizzy. I glanced at your post there as I was answering the phone at work and thought it said your waters had broke... Lol X

Hi Phoenyx. Thanks for dropping by. Are your kids boys or girls? I can't imagine when mine will get better, I blame the stress and tempers on having 4 red heads in the house! Breeding between 2 gingers was bound to be trouble... Lol. My exercise motivation is mainly to get away from them all :-) X

Oh Ruth what a nightmare. You go out your way to do a good job and that happen's. I hope your management can see that, but typical they want a scapegoat. Maybe there is a genuine reason your boss hasn't replied, I thought I'd upset my MIL last week cos she ignored my calls and texts. Turned out...

OMG I'm exhausted just reading that Phoenyx, and no idea what half of it means. All looks impressive though, good luck with your exercise plans. Even your UD reads very healthy to me compared to the rubbish I am eating XxX

Hi wobblebottom. Hope your first week is going well and we get a diary update soon X

That's a shame Ruth. Hope u hadn't already paid for a hotel in Newcastle X

Well done Phoenyx, it's a brilliant feeling when you move into a new stone bracket X

Have have a great time in Newcastle today/tonight. Hope it's ok after the floods on Thursday. I was off work yesterday so didn't see the aftermath. This was near where I park, luckily my car was on higher ground

Had an up up and away day yesterday. Met some friends for a drink at 2.30pm, pat outside in the sun it was lovely (compared to the monsoon the day before) ended up going for an Italian meal at 6pm and didn't get home till 11.30pm... Can't put a number on my calories but I'm guessing well over...

Nice to have you back Lily. What target are you going for in July? XxX

Morning Jo Hope you feel better soon and good luck for your WI tomorrow. My official loss is 0.25lbs in 4 weeks. Not great but I've put 5lb target for the July challenge as I'm an eternal optimist. XxX

I'll be brave and go for 5lbs. I'm am eternal optimist.... Sorry on my phone so can't paste in on a list after Ruth X

Nightmare... Has taken me over 5 hours to get home from work. Finished just after 5pm and didn't get in the house till 10.20pm. Floods everywhere. Been awful. The thunderstorm was quite exciting at the time but the aftermath chaos... Was having another good DD with less than 250 calories but...

I'm back. Just tried to update mfp with my exercise for today but netball isn't an option. Does anyone know how many calories 1 hour would use up? Thanks x

Night everyone x

Sorry Ruth, hijacking your diary now. Didn't we do the same to someone else last night... X

I watched all six feet under mainly cos I fancied Rico. Do u watch Dexter? X

I gained weight on SW happily eating free foods without any portion control... But all supposedly allowable

Hi Fizzy I watched 1 episode of mad men a while back but had no idea what was going on. How many episodes have I missed if I try and give it another go? X

Hi Jo I wish my daily weighing was like yours... It took me 3 weeks of JUDDD to get back to my start weight after CD 11st 12 then I had 2 UD's at the weekend and resisted weighing. But after my DD Monday I weighed Tuesday morning first thing and was 12st 1 again :-( I've only had 300calories...

I've been copying your jelly fixation today. I've just watched Revenge again, really enjoying it. Was it u Ruth who watches it? X

I was strong armed into the children, so he always gets the blame... Lol. The best thing I ever did really :-) but wish it wasn't such hard work ALL of the time. I have to have another DD tomorrow unfortunately because I need Friday to be an UD. Don't think it will be as easy when I'm bored at...

Just typed a great long post about my day then pressed the back button on my phone instead of send and lost it... Long story short I've had less than 300 calories for my DD :-)

So I've given up on sleeping and am now downstairs ironing... Yawn!

What an awful nights sleep I'm having; Came to bed early because I was shattered but couldn't get comfortable and spent and hour on Minimins catching up with diaries Just dropped off to sleep around midnight I think only to be woken by screaming... Wasn't sure who it was but leapt up and it was...

Hi Mel Have u had your second week weigh in yet? X

Hi Noms Ru still weighing daily? X

Sorry t2g for hijacking your diary. Hope you've had a good day. I've cheered up a bit, always easier on a UD X

http://www.fatbuddharestaurant.com Asian Fusion... Yummy X

Hi gentoo Have u decided what to do? X

There is a new Fat Buddha restaurant that opened last month in Newcastle. I haven't been but the one in Durham is fantastic. X

Ooo is this your Minimins Facebook gang weekend? Did u you you're going for a meal? Where to? X

Have an early night and hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow XxX

He loves Beavers. He was much better behaved tonight and it was my 3 year old daughters turn to play up! It's only my dog Toby that keeps me sane X

You're a bit of a worry Ruth... :-) X

Hi Lily The sun was defo in Durham as my OH is just inspecting his sunburn would u believe... The rain did start about 4pm though. Hope you're having a lovely time, weather aside XxX

I don't know how u manage with 5 Jo, I'd be to take away... I don't feel so bad today but mainly because DS was at Beavers when I got home from work so there was an hour of peace and quiet before the usual bedtime chaos began (that I'm still in the middle of) X

Can we see it again cooked please Fizzy X

He's not been in trouble at school yet this year. His Reception class last year we were called in every other week, but I thought he had turned a corner. If just seems to enjoy getting into trouble at the moment and he has an answer/excuse for everything

Poor bairn, you seem to have one poorly tot after another. Hope she's over the worst of it X

Morning Jo I've never had a solero in my life but that does look nice. I don't eat ice cream at all really except if my kids get a flake one from KFC, then I usually pinch a couple of bites, yum. How much are soleros? X

My 6 year old son has a very bad behaviour problem at the moment. He's been getting progressively worse for a couple of months now and it's wearing me down, I prefer being at work than home at the moment and I feel terrible for that. I could do with a visit from super nanny...

Ginger sponge and custard.... Really want it now X

The run helped while I was out but as soon as I got home I slumped again :-(

I'm fed up to be honest, been really down for a few days. I had my first double UD's at the weekend and should be on a DD but have had 600 so far and am starving. My tummy is making really loud noises and OH is sitting next to me eating a curry. I went for a run earlier. First time in over 2...

Love your new avatar Mel :-) X

Gutted with the football. We were rubbish and didn't deserve to get to penalties tonigh but still a shame :-( X

Morning all DD yesterday and kept to 500 but burned off 200 exercising. Also after taking a laxative I went to the toilet after 8 days not going (sorry TMI). So decided to make today my official weigh in because UD today ID tomorrow UD Monday DD Tuesday... And I've lost 1lb since last week...

Thanks for the replies. I've gone over on my DD today, 650 but I'm quite pleased with that really. This morning I had every intention of it turning into an ID if not an UD. Night night x

Doesn't sound a pleasure, I like to enjoy my exercise so don't think I'll be trying out the 30 day shred anytime soon X

Hi Lily. You're quiet. Ru still JUDDDing? Hope u haven't moved on to your 262nd diet... X

I thought it looked like manderin orange segments at first there... Lol x

Hi Jo I've copied you with the Batchelors Pot Shots. Have u tried the sweet and sour noodle one? 165 calories X

I'm not in the mood for my DD. I had a few drinks watching the football last night and now have the munchies today. Also my planned UD/DD's for the rest of the week are now tricky because our next match is Sunday which should be a DD for me. I am already out with friends eating and drinking on...

Morning Ruth. How was the concert? X

I'm embarrassed to admit I've never heard of 30 day shred prior to reading the JUDDD posts here. And beyond knowing it is exercise, I've no idea what it involves XxX

Hi stef. The UD's are easy :-) I reached my original target of 3 stone on CD, but part way through decided 3.5 stone would be better so it would give me room to gain a few pounds at the end without hitting 12 stone again (hopefully) Anyway once I reached 3 stone I decided to have a diet break...

Hi missnic Your UD doesn't look bad at all to me. Well under 2000 calories I would think... Unless you had a giant baked potato and a cheese mountain. Certainly makes my UD look excessive X

Hi Lily. How ru? When is your next WI? I'm dying to see your next loss after your brilliant 6lb the first week. Have a good day XxX

Morning Ruth. How ru spending your day in Newcastle? It's lovely and sunny here this morning. Have u been before? Is It Blink 282 tonight? X

Hi Jo. I felt the scales were a bit of an anticlimax to be honest. I was so dying for them, but don't really understand what the percentages mean and I found them quite hard to read. My old WW scales light up so are very easy to read. These had me squinting to see the readings and then u need...

Have come to bed early to make sure I don't eat anything else today, and have been setting up my new scales. I know I should of waited till morning to weigh but wanted to know if the fat and water readings work... So my results were; Weight 11.13.2 Fat 36.8% Water 46.1% Not sure what any of that...

Struggling with just tea and coffee al work, new daytime menu Milk 100 cheddar babybel cheese 70 WW yogurt 60 Bought the scales, will suss the instructions tonight X

Where Ru today Ruth? X

Morning everyone. Nice to have a lovely sunny day. DD today and I'm going to tackle then differently and try to have nothing more than tea/coffee and water all day at work then a small meal tonight to try and keep my calories as low as possible. I'm also going to copy Noms and invest in some...

My friend thinks I should go back to CD at the mo, and reckons I would of been down to 11.5st by now if I'd stuck with it X

Thanks Ruth, I hope so. My friend who got me started on CD is waiting and watching to see if JUDDD works then will follow suit, but she's asking me every other day what I've lost so I'm feeling the pressure! Think I've gone over 2000 calories today. Had it all planned out but when visiting my...

I was peckish but not ravenous so didn't have my evening meal, but by 10pm I was starving... Resisted eating tho except a slice of ham. So total calories for yesterday were under 350 but still not back to my JUDDD start weight :-( Glad it's an UD today X

Looks like me and gentoo were having a psychic link there... Lol X

Hi Lily. I think most longer JUDDDers have DD's M W F and UD's Sat and Sunday, so Saturday would always be after a DD. If I were u I would hold off the weigh in until the Sunday if the Friday had been an UD. X

Hi Jo and Ruth Yes having a good day thanks. Hope you both are too. Been really busy today and just got back from seeing the Olympic torch relay in Durham. Was very exciting. Anyway I've had less than 300 so far and have a chicken casserole ready to eat and it smells lovely but I'm not starving...

Is that for breakfast Ruth? X

Is it an overnight stay thing? What and where is the get together? I don't live in Newcastle and my OH shifts generally dictate my life and nights out XxX

Oooh Ruth good to know. I'm not on facebook. What date is it? I work in Newcastle X

Hi Everyone. I'd just like to comment on what a lovely group JUDDD is! Obviously we are a small group compared to some diet threads on Minimins, but everyone is here every day. at some point checking in on each other and offering support/advice - It's lovely. I already feel like it would be...

The first fathers day would always be difficult, especially since it still such a recent loss for you. More hugs Jo, roll on next week X

Well done Kech, I should take a leaf out of your book. Have u done this diet before? X

I'm good thanks. UD for me and only had 400 so far but saving them for something nice that goes with wine tonight :-) X

I did my first DD but the next 2 I tried having proper food but that made of go right over on calories. So since then I've had 1 shake mid morning and mainly protein the rest of the day, oh and milk in my tea and coffee X

I came from doing Cambridge so thought the DD's would be easy. It's a UD today... I don't have any problem with those :-) X

Hi Lily. I've eaten less today on my UD than on a usual DD. I also had protein for breakfast (bacon medallions and an egg) and have not been at all hungry since. Like u saving my calories for pizza tonight (and wine and football) X

Hi Ruth. Hope u have a lovely week off. Does that mean you won't be on Minimins much? Or do u use your phone? X

Hi t2g and welcome. Congregations on your fantastic loss so far. I'm pretty new to JUDDD and haven't lost anything yet so I'll leave the advice to the experts on here for now. Everyone is very friendly and helpful round here. Good luck X

Hi stef. Hope u take to it better than I have. I'm really struggling with the DD's but hoping to manage them better next week. X Hi Lily. I Had carbs the first my second and third DD's but since then have followed your advice and kept away from them mostly. I had a CD shake mid morning, lots...

Morning. Don't feel terrible Jo. I know my DD's haven't been good, I'm really struggling with them. I didn't find it too hard doing CD but I think being able to eat so much on my UD's is just making me more hungry on the DD's. I haven't eaten extra because of the exercise, it just happens to...

Didn't keep track on first UD but will of been at least 2000 as I was at a jubilee street party with all the usual buffet food naughties. It was all I ate that day tho. DD 450 UD 2000 DD 840c - did 1 hour netball UD 2000c DD 580c - 20 lengths swim UD 1850c DD 1200 - turned into ID UD 2000 DD...

Thanks for your messages Lily and Jo. I don't want to be weighing daily really but having started at 11st 12lbs on the morning of my first UD, the next day I was 12st 1lb and now 11 days later I am still the same. I understand my glycogen stores will of refilled but I just want to see my weight...

Thanks Noms, I might invest in the scales X

Brilliant loss, hope you don't mind me asking but since you're a daily weigher... How many days in a row was your longest STS/gain before a loss? X

Hope so gentoo. I've managed to keep my tea to 150 so that's a grand total of 450 for today as long as I don't give in to my chocolate craving... But I've promised myself a ripple tomorrow if I don't have anything else tonight and the scales make a move. Fingers crossed X

Found today a real struggle but have held off on having my tea by spending 1.5hours in Sainsbury's scrutinising the calorie content of everything. Just helping my son with his new school reading book then have 200 calories left for tea... Really hope there is a change on my scales in the...

Oh dear, I love the football... Not sure why I felt the need to confess to that X

Hi Lily. Have u had a good day? X

That's a shame but at least you will defo get there next week X

Hi Noms. I've looked on the Argos website and there are a few Salters scales about that price. Which model do you have? Looks like a minefield of info when I try to Google which are best... Thanks x

Hi. Ruth. Did the waiter know the calories? X

I'm starving again. Another DD. I've already had over a litre of water, 3 cups of tea/coffee and a CD shake. It wasn't this hard when I was doing CD :-(

I've never been near bodyfat scales but u are tempting me to buy some X

Brilliant. Well done Ruth. Hope I start seeing numbers like that soon X

I have a similar problem with exercise because I place. Badminton on a Monday and Netball on a Wednesday and Thursday. They are clubs on a fixed day that I don't want to miss Monday and Wednesday. Thursday is a league match and there is only 3 weeks left of the summer league but again it's on a...

Morning Jo. That's an interesting read. I'll keep my fingers crossed your prediction is right and then I'm hoping to follow suit and finally have a loss after my DD today X

Good result for you. It's funny how the weight must move about our bodies X

Add milk and make eggy bread/French toast for the kids x

Hi. I'm dying to join in with the challenge, but want to get back to my start weight before I dare to put my target down in writing. Good luck everyone, keep up the good losses X

I never get in till after 6pm so would be hard not to eat after that during the week X

Snap gentoo x

55 calories each. They a bit bigger and just have garlic butter in rather than the cheesey garlic stuff. I'll get the Bernard M ones next time. I've still got about 150 calories left to get me up to 2000. not sure whether to have them or leave them because I had 125 too many on my DD yesterday...

That sounds interesting, but I'm easily confused so I'll probably not try to follow it. Love that's it's called MUD tho :-) X

Lovely thanks. They were Iceland ones so not as low calorie as the Bernard Matthews ones, but I'm on an UP day so not to worry X

That's very exciting, hope you get it. Oh to be 21 again... X

Hi Ruth. I'm just tucking into mini kievs, was that your idea I've pinched? X

Hi Lily. My last few weeks weren't strict on CD. I would be good during the week but always have one night off at the weekend for a night out. So my weight would jump up by 3/4 lbs after the night out then steadily drop again by 4/5 lbs by the following weekend. A slow process but kept me happy...

Every day being wine day is how I got into this mess... Pleased my new year resolution was to stop drinking at home. Although I've had a couple of occasions in the nice weather trying to decide if wine with a BBQ in the garden would count.... Lol X

Hi Fizzy. I missed the first episode of Revenge but really enjoyed the second one. I'm going to try and find the first one on demand or something before I watch the next one. X

Hi Lily. Glad you've had a good DD. I tried to follow suit with my DD today. Had a CD shake this morning, but when it got to lunchtime I thought I could get something more interesting for my calories at lunchtime than another shake. But it's gone all wrong tonight. Had my tea which was lovely...

Oh Ruth that would be awful for you, surely there must be allowances for medical emergencies... What is your subject of study? X

I've got turnip, carrots, potato, broccoli and chicken steaming. I've made enough for tomorrow and OH as well but I need to work out the calories and portion sizes I will get before I dish up my very small plate X

Got home from work thinking I have 300 calories left for tea but forgot to count my milk and now have realised I only have 200 left, so can't have the WW meal I was looking forward to :-(

So pleased you've finally gone. I was feeling your pain. I haven't been unaided now for over 4 months. Feel like have done some permanent damage, but my GP said not to worry X

I just read your post Ruth about enjoying their wedding night and thought someone was getting married. I was all excited to see who then read back through the previous posts and realised it was Jo going to someone else's wedding night... I'm disappointed now. Think I'm lightheaded with hunger on...

Thanks Jo. I'm worried that if I've put on 3 lb in 5 days that I'll be half a stone heavier by the end of my first 2 weeks, when I'm obviously trying to lose weight... X

Hi Lily. I'm good thanks for asking. Had a very busy weekend as always, trying to fit the usual chores, shopping, etc around the kids classes for gymnastics and dancing. The weekends are just not long enough. Ended up having ID on Sunday because visited my aunty who had made a proper tea party...

That's brilliant Lily. Well done X

I ended up having a frozen fromais frais last night but it was only 60 calories so my whole day came to 580, and I did 20 lengths swimming so hopefully that balanced out the extra calories. Up day today but am going for an Italian meal to my favourite restaurant tonight for lasagne - think I'll...

That's a shame Jo, but you have so much faith in this diet that you're still very upbeat with it. You're such an inspiration I'm sure you'll have an extra good loss next week X

Great thanks Lily X

I took the kids swimming after work and then made OH fajitas for tea (that I don't like) so have managed on a cup of tea and WW 60 calorie yogurt. I'm feeling the temptation for chocolate now... But think I'll manage on one After Eight if I can find out the calories. Thanks for all your advice...

Hi Lily. Ru on a DD today? I'm really struggling with mine again. I think I found it easier with CD shakes rather than real food choices. X

Got off the a good start with my DD and only had tea/coffee up until 1.30pm. Then had a ham sandwich with WW bread 130 calories and half a pot of sugar free jelly 5 calories, so far so good... But downhill since because the food set me off hungry so I've had another sandwich which now doesn't...

Fantastic loss slim2012, you will be just like your name in no time at all X

My tea is nearly ready and decided to have steamed chicken breast, carrots, broccoli, turnip and mash. But have been snacking while I was waiting and those calories quickly mount up. Thought I'd have some spare for a kit kat later when the kids have gone to bed but think I'll have to leave it...

Hi Jo. Finally got though all your diary. Hope u don't mind me asking but why did u switch to Slim and Save for a little while? X

That's a brilliant loss. Well done X

These up days are good. I've had less than 800 calories so far. Will be able to have something yummy for tea if I survive the awful bus journey home. Think I will have garlic chicken in tomato with mozzarella and veg :-) X

These sound like torture exercises... Lol Don't think I'll be trying them out anytime soon. Well done everyone X

Feel so sick on this bus journey. I really couldn't do it every day. Reading JUDDD diaries all the way probably hasn't helped with the travel sickness, but they are very interesting and inspiring. I love Jo's little girl waking her at 6am with a kiss. My daughter tiptoes into my room like a...

Hi gentoo. Thanks for the welcome. I'm starting my first UP day with a bus journey to work because the Metro's are not running today. Caught the early one so it only takes 1 hour 20 mins.... My phone will most likely be dead before I get to work. With a 90 minutes journey home to look forward...

Hello So I've come on board. Had my first DD today. Was harder than I expected and ended up having 840 calories, but played 1 hour of netball so hopefully that reduces my calories a bit. I'll try harder with my next DD. For future reference if I end up having an intermediate day instead of a DD...

Good luck Lily. I hope this is your very last diet, I will be keeping track of your diary with great interest XxX

Hi everyone. I too am thinking of jumping ship. I have been doing CD and reached my initial target of 3 stone on Sunday. Taking me to 11st 12 lbs :o) I'm over the moon to be in the 11's. Honestly have no recollection of when I was last this weight. Anyway found JUDDD by accident really and had a...

Hi daisy I love learning stuff like that, very informative about carbs. Did the article say how many calories are in a gram of protein? And how much we should be having per day (when back to eating real food) Thanks X

Hi Haley I play netball and badminton every week and have managed without a problem while I was doing SS and SS+, I don't know how many calories they burn but I'm sure it's not as many as miliary fitness!! Recently I've been off track a little but not gaining weight. I'm sure you'll be fine...

You're a legend Spangles, pleased you've posted again but sorry you're struggling. Hope you get to goal soon for your referral x

OMG Annie that's awful news. So sorry, I'll include you and your sister in my prayers tonight and hope she pulls through XxX

Hi. You can cook the eggs anyway you like, not just boiled X

Hi. I didn't like any of the bars, even to the point of not being able to finish them (and I hate waste). The malt toffee was the best of a bad lot but I wouldn't get another. X

I've recorded it but not sure if I want to watch it.... What did u think? X

Hiya. I don't like cold cottage cheese. Does anyone have suggestions of how to cook it only using SS+ allowable foods? Thanks X

My bench dips and using tins of baked beans as weights have not seemed to help as yet in the bingo wings dept... So today I've decided to do 15 wall press ups every time I go to the loo, and since I need to go pretty much every 20 minutes with all this water. I am hoping to make a difference in...

Just seen this new TV series starting next Wednesday 8pm 16th May. Overweight people being monitored round the clock to see what they really eat. I don't understand why someone would agree to be filmed doing that, sounds like car crash TV...

Hi aimmie SS+ or any of the higher Cambridge steps allows 200mls of skimmed milk each day. Do u have the Steps Programme booklet? It goes into all the details for you, or your consultant will be able to explain them to you. Mine gave me the book on my first appointment. Good luck X

Chocolate tetra. They are all I have now anyway, love them. Might even go so far as to say addicted... and that's a worry!

Your cousin certainly missed out on charm school... X

Just wait till you can offer to lend her your skinny clothes... and she can't fit in them! That will put a smug smile on your face :-) XxX

Ooooo apologies for my bad suggestion

Ru near a Boots at work? Try a Tony Ferguson shake or Slimfast shake. I think they are slightly higher in calories but not enough to affect your weightloss if it's only today. Good luck x

I started off with a variety but found myself only enjoying the choc tetras. I was just forcing the other shakes down really so for a few weeks now all I've been getting is choc tetras. I've still got a few old pack's if I fancy a change X

Hi angel. Can u tell me what an hour of netball and badminton uses up please? I can't download the android my fitness app for some reason. Thanks X

Is the chair thing like a bench dip? X

Hi. What is the best exercise to tone up tops of arms? Or are they a lost cause once the bingo wing has taken over... Thanks X

Hi. My son age 6 gave me a big cuddle last night and then said "I could get my arms right round u Mam and they touched at the back" he was very excited about it and said he could give me proper hugs now like I give him :-) X

Congratulations on being an Aunty X

My consultant sells the bars £2 each. Don't know how many are in a box.

Tetras are the ready made shakes. Chocolate, strawberry or banana. X

I only get the choc tetras but am lucky in that my consultant swaps or borrows from another consultant if she is short of anything

My original aim was to lose 3 stone to get me just under 12 stone, then decided an extra half stone so that I would weigh less than my OH. If/when I get there I might set a new target but I've no recollection of being under 12 stone so just want to achieve that first. Not bothered about clothes...

Now you mention it, I've been having palpitations recently. Not every day but a couple of times a week and not quite sure when they started. I hadn't connected them to the diet but now you've got me wondering...
