It's my birthday tomorrow - I'm going to be 37 years of age and I'm greeting it with a horrendous cold, a body broken from lack of sleep and too much partying (Edinburgh fringe and V festival), almost 2 stone overweight, and lungs that are definately telling me i've smoked too much recently...

This eating plan is MAD. Without doubt the best thing ever. As you can see from above I've hardly been strict with myself this week and am enjoy Dec to the max. My thoughts yesterday where that if I could weigh in today with only 1lb gained this week I'd be happy. Well somehow when I jumped on...

Thanks for the welcome everybody - not logged in for a few days. Well the work conference was great - interesting content but more importantly a great night out. Ended up being a very late one with me rolling to bed at 5.15am and my alarm set for 7.30am as day 2 of the conference started at 9...

Morning all Well yesterday didn't quite stay as a dd - but I stuck to 762 cals so think I can fairly call it a md. Today is an ud because of the work conference which will involve a buffet lunch, a 3 course evening meal, and some drinking! It starts at 11.30 in Reading which means I need to...

Hello JUDDDerers Well I’ve been lurking around your diaries for a while and you inspired me to read up on the diet and decide to start it after Xmas (plan was to spend up to Xmas sticking to high protein). Well my excitement got the better of me and when I got back from New York after a...

BrightAngel - not yet a JUDDDerer but will be very soon so come and lurk around everyones diaries to see how everyones doing. You've done amazingly well and have obviously been tracking your food intake for a long time. I know you explain above why your calorie intake is so low and the...

I'm going to family for xmas day and boxing day and haven't even mentioned to them that I'm dieting/ watching my weight. I just want to have an amazing time with my family and not have them worry about 1) a seperate meal for me 2) why I'm eating chocolate and is it blowing my "diet" . Yes we'll...

I was at my absolute heaviest at the start of 1994 - 16st 4lb and my absolute lowest in 2006 - 9st 9lb. Never got back to my heaviest weight after 1994 but have been up and down between those two figures for 15 years - crimes that's scary. Each time I start putting on weight I manage to catch...

clearing out the wardrobe is great isn't it - and you're doing exactly the right thing by getting rid of them. It's too easy to not notice yourself slipping back into your comfy bigger clothes when the diet is over - by getting rid of them you have no comfy clothes to slip back into and your...

Lucky Are you risking becoming the person that we all moan about on whatever weight loss plan we choose because they don't support us - oh you'll only put it back on again, you're eating too much/too little, it can't be healthy etc etc Just because she's choosen a different way to you...

Thanks Miss JT - I certainly will - then I'll be back and starting my own diary LOL

Come on Alex you can do it. I lost weight for my sisters wedding a few years ago where I was a bridesmaid and I felt fabulous the entire day. On those weak moments take a second to visualise the wedding - what are you wearing, what are you doing, how do you feel, who are you talking to - do...

Hi there I haven't started JUDD yet but the girls on here have really inspired me to give it a shot so when I get back from NY in 3 weeks I'll be joining you on the JUDDD journey to get rid of NY excesses and the last few pesky pounds (had planned to do JUDDD after xmas with high protein...

Hiya I'm having the same thoughts as you - in 2 weeks I'm coming off a TFR diet and moving onto real food without a gradual food introduction plan. I'll be honest with you I'm expecting to put on weight the week I do it - possibly as much as 7lb - the thing to remember is this ISN'T real fat -...

It's crazy isn't it. I'm flying to the states in a couple of weeks and usually my suitcase weights 20/25 lbs - it occured to me today that by the time I fly out I'll have lost the equivalent of my suitcase weight off my body and I'm damn sure as I'm moaning about wheeling it into the airport and...

I read the book yesterday and to be honest other than a load of science that I didn't need to know a few recipe ideas for DD there's nothing in the book that isn't covered on this site. Ended it thinking it was a bit of a waste of money

The less you have to lose the less your weekly loses will be - as summergurl says people who lose 17/18lbs have more to lose than you. Look at my signature (not on LT but a similar diet) - I'd be delighted with a 5lb lose

Hi bethan Don't you just hate our bodies sometimes - my loses have slowed right down as well which I struggle to understand when I see so many other peoples amazing loses. Just wanted to pop in and say don't quit - although it's frustrating you are on the very best diet for losing weight and...

... and I don't want to negatively impact anyones motivation but there are a lot of people on this site who are restarters or who lost weight and put it all (or some) back on again and are here for another go etc etc Nothing wrong with that (I'm one) but I do wonder what we learn from this...

Thanks Miss Jelly Tot - you definately will be seeing me soon - just need to get the next 6 weeks out of the way then I'm JUDDDering - really excited to try it and LOVE the idea that if I have a craving I can satisfy it every other day - what other diet lets you do that. In fact here's a funny...

Hi there I'm not JUDDDering at the moment but keep an eye on the board because my grand plan for body domination is to do a VLCD until end of the month, then eat high protein for dec then move onto JUDDD in January after xmas. Funnily enough the book I ordered dropped through the letterbox...

Hi Rachel Frustrating when that happens isn't it!! Was just going to ask if you weighed yourself at different times between sunday and monday and perhaps wearing different clothes - I put on 3 to 4 lbs over the course of a day ie differene if i weigh naked in the morning and naked at night...

Thanks Stirky - we've got all the sight seeing places on the agenda - empire state building, rockefeller centre, statue of liberty, ellis island, ground zero, macys thanksgiving parade, central park, times square, dinner at the plaza, breakfast at the waldorf, maddison square garden, brooklyn...

Hi Lyn and thanks for the welcome. Hope the postal strike doesn't delay the book for you too long - I can see you've done really well already losing almost 2 stone - congratulations. Yes I'm really excited about NY - I've never been either and have got a very busy 5 days planned - can't...

Hi JUDDDers I'm been lurking on your forum for a few days. I'd never even heard of JUDDD (which amazes me coz I thought I knew about every diet going :-)). I've been reading the stickys and your posts to get an idea of what the diet is and gotta tell you it sounds great. So I've made a bit...

I've got it - I'm doing the 30 day challenge at the mo. I really like it because the work out changes every day so I don't get bored. I wouldn't say it's the hardest work out I've ever had I'd get a better work out at the gym but I like that I can do it at home anytime and I do work up a...

Hi Jen I've also been on go lower in the past - I'm sure you know this but just in case wanted to give you a bit of a heads up that because Go Lower is low carb and puts you into ketosis when you start eating high carb food again like pasta the scales can go up - don't worry it doesn't mean...

hi caroline - i moved from CD to GL - I didn't lose any weight for the first 8 days whilst by body got used to food again but then it started dropping off. I'm prob not the best person to advise on roughage issues as I have problems regardless of what i am eating and live off dulcolax Will...

you'll both do brilliantly - the first few days can be a bit of a nuisance as you go through carb withdrawl but stick with it and when that wonderful ketosis feeling hits you'll stop feeling hungry and breeze through it. If i could give one piece of advise it's don't cheat - that throws you...

OH MY GOODNESS - check out my ticker. Got weighed this morning as it's the end of week 1 of my restart and I've lost 8.8lb :party0019: Being honest about 5lb of that is the water weight i put on with a week off the diet but I'm still AMAZED. My goal of 10 stone by the 4th April is suddenly...

hi all - coming to the end of the 1st week of my restart - looking forward to updating my ticker tomorrow - it's going to look so much healthier than it did last saturday. I had my next go lower delivery delivered today - i have ordered enough to last me 4 more weeks by which time I intend to...

High Protein Recipes - 101 Cookbooks High Protein Recipes : Recipezaar found the links above on another thread - lots and lots of high protein recipes for those of you wanting to try cooking for yourselves

kj2s - fabulous news that you're starting tomorrow and all stocked up - i know we are all biased but it really is a great diet and there's no need to feel nervous - stick to the plan and the weight melts away -without a shake in sight!!

My fav soup is the tex mex but like them all except the mushroom one - and even that one tastes fine it's just the idea of it. Thanks big bum you are right - and well done on getting the compliment - it really keeps you motivated doesn't it

actually maybe updating on saturday wont be so much much fun after all - I've just remembered my fitness ticker - so far I have managed 0 KM's - oh dear!!

Hi jellibabe - not sure how much you have to lose (and how long the journey will be) but the way I try to get over those tough days is to remind myself in a few months I'll be able to enjoy food friday again and I'm just temporarily abstaining in order to get to where i want to be - once there I...

go lower emailed me a recipe for pancakes if anyone is interested. Of course there's only 45 mins left of pancake day so have probably offered too late LOL

Caffine withdrawl is probably the worst part of the diet - I'm lucky I don't drink caffine so I don't get those withdrawls just the carb ones. The carb withdrawls aren't too bad - you get a mild headache and sometimes can feel a little sick but it soon clears up and once you're in ketosis...

Thanks Caroline - i know you're right it's not physically possible to put on 5lb of fat in 3 days and I did go a bit mad yesterday having a little bit of everything I wont be able to eat for the next 6 weeks (why do we do that to ourselves and make the first week so much harder??). I've been a...

After my few weeks of pretending to follow the diet and then a week of not even pretending I'm back and viewing today as day 1. My target date is 8th April when I fly out on holiday for a few days so by my maths that's 6 and a half weeks to lose at least 1st 2lb preferably 1st 6lbs (it's going...

Hi Mummyem Go lower is a little different as because it is high protein low carb you go into ketosis which means you don't get hungry - there are snacks on it as well for if you do want to eat something but I find it much easier than a traditional calorie controlled diet. All I don't know I...

sambucca

Hi there Yes you go into ketosis after about 3 days and once that happens you don't feel hungry at all. They say you can lose up to a stone on the 28 day plan which is probably about right - I lost a stone in my first month. It's not cheap but I definately think it's worth giving it a go

Hi Spud Are you drinking enough water? I find my weight loss comes to a grinding halt if i don't drink enough. My other suggestion would be to ring the Go Lower helpline - I know they have recommended people who plateau swap the granola for eggs for breakfast but not sure if that is relevent...

Hi both You are both doing brilliantly - I had a few days off the diet but am back on it now (have been for 2 days) and feel so much better in myself when I am eating healthily compared to when I am eating rubbish - bit cross with myself because if i'd just focussed from the new year onwards...

hiya - well i was snowbound again so didn't get to do any exercise (not a good excuse as I could have exercised at home) but yesterday was pretty good - had a storming day working from home and got most of my to do list finished which means I can enjoy my weekend without work being on my mind...

It took about 2 months for people to really start to notice and then it happened all at once - now I'm getting comments daily. I think it's a confidence thing as much as anything - now I'm quite pleased with how I look I make an effort to dress nicely and in figure hugging clothes which means...

that's fabulous that you're finding it a breeze - I feel like I've got my head right back into it as well - you've really helped me so thanks. the way i look at the cream cakes thing is that I will be able to eat them one day and occasionally - I now can't wait to get rid of the last 10lbs and...

i've just thought i've picked up some good tips whilst I've been on the diet that you might find helpful - breakfast - my raspberries kept going off in the fridge before i'd had chance to eat the all and someone mentioned frozen raspberries - it's a genius idea - i take a few out and defrost...

it'll be no time at all - i was about the same weight when i started - 13st 5 (size 16/18), then I lost 7lb the first week and averaged 2.5/3lb a week thereafter. Had a couple of rubbish weeks where i lost half a pound and then the following week would lose 5lb so it all balances out. Today...

I felt the same when i first started the diet and have only joined the gym this year - really enjoying it at the mo Gym went well, even followed it up with a swim, and today has been a good diet day so am going to bed happy ;-)

oh that's absolutely fabulous - well done - and it's totally appropriate - hearing of others peoples successes really helps to remind me why I'm being daft. I've woken up with a new found determination to shift the last 10lbs and hearing of your success encourages me that i can do it. I'm just...

Hi both I feel a bit of a fraud as i am struggling at the moment on the diet but it seriously is an amazing diet - when I'm on it the weight falls off me and I'm not struggling because of the food or the diet - it's a bit of a mental block thing - I'm 10lb off goal and i think i've got some...

i don't see why not as it's all protein

glad you are enjoying the meals - must admit the mushroom soup is my least favourite soup and the beef bouriginon is my least fav main meal so great that you like them both. I bought some of the new meals off the site today so I'm looking forward to trying them over the next few days

thanks so much for the advise. I did mention to the guys at the gym that I was on a protein diet when they helped me to put my programme together but will go back and recheck with them

Hiya kate it's a high protein low carb food diet that puts you in ketosis (it's not atkins) - it's called go lower and they deliver the food to my house - basically it's a nut granola for breakfast with raspberries and milk or yoghurt, lunch is a low carb soup, dinner is low carb usually chicken...

thanks for the advise - i drink loads of fluids - about 6 litres a day so not sure that it's dehydration although to be fair I suppose my body is used to 6 litres a day so maybe i should up it to 8 on the days when I am exercising? didn't think it was muscle that resulted in the weight gain (I...

great way to start - how did you find the meals? - i love them and like you i really enjoy the breakfast - i always have with rasp and single cream (not sure if your "supposed" to but I figure it's low in carb so it's ok) - it's such a treat every morning

Hi all Am hoping someone can help me - I started exercising hard 2 days ago and on sunday spent an hour and a half in the gym followed by a half hour swimming, then on monday i spent an hour swimming. I stuck to my food plan religiously The result is after sunday I put on half a pound and...

hi both - i use the go lower forum under the same user name if you ever log onto that one. If you do you'll see that I was really good up until xmas - didn't drink, hardly had any of the snacks and found it embarrassingly easy. Struggled a little more this year with a couple of big nite out...

LOL - i think you might be right having avoided the camera for years I'm going to have to jump into every photo until I can get my head around it. I've seen your photos as they have been changed on your signature and in every one you look stunning - you have a great wardrobe of clothes

oh excellent it worked - the other one was this one I'm the one in the distance circled in yellow - there is nothing extraordinary about this photo which is the whole point that weirded me out - usually when trying to pick myself out in a distance group shot I looked for the person with the...

Thanks Thanks for the advise ladies Like the video idea - will have to have a think who I can ask to video me without them thinking I'm a little strange. The photo that really made me think I've attached below (at least I hope I have - all a bit new to me) - forgive the rather intense/...

I'm not on LL but have been on a low carb diet where I have lost weight pretty quickly (2 and a half stone in just over 3 months) Something weird happened to me yesterday and this forum is so much busier than the low carb one so I thought I'd see if you lovely people would be able to help. I...

so glad you're going to give it a go. Just one word of warning which I didn't realise at the time of ordering - if you are signing up for a programme longer the 28 days make sure they are totally clear what you recieve and when. I signed up for the 12 week programme thinking i'd get 12 weeks of...

Hi Barbara - hope you don't mind me jumping in to answer your question. I have tried a diet like lighter life called cambridge diet where you have shake or soup 3 times a day. There are many people on here who do it successfully but it definately isn't for me long term - i feel deprived all...
