Well today has ended up being very UP!! Last day of the half term holiday took over me! Back to work tomorrow - taking the kids on a trip based on Robin Hood so will be spending the day out and about in the woods - looking forward to burning a few cals :) DD tomorrow - feel nervous about it...

Having mega cravings for sugar today!! Grrrrrr!! X

Hiya Ruth, glad you enjoyed your UD yesterday :) and hope you are having a fab day today. Sorry to hear you're having to go and have a scan on Thursday :( Hope it goes ok. I know it's hard but try not to worry yourself too much. Enjoy the rest of the weekend x

Haha! Makes for a cheap night out/in!! :) lol x

Thanks Ruth, had a great day yesterday and a few little drinkies last night with friends. My hangover wasn't even as bad as normal - maybe another bonus of eating this way?! Taking today as it comes, hopefully some more wii then back to work and a DD tomorrow. Hope you are having a good weekend x

Well done on your weight loss Lilly xxx

I've noticed I've been really thirsty on both up and down days. Drinking loads of water on both x

Love it! :) x

450 cals burnt on the wii :) wooooohooooo!! X

Jo, don't beat yourself up, you've been doing so well. It is so motivating to have you and everyone else on here. The scales will catch up - you know all the factors that are making your loss not show at the moment but I'm sure it will once TOTM has been and gone and you have returned to your...

I pretty much weigh every day when I go on the wii - they match the scales at the SW club I was going to but like you I don't really take much notice but find it helps me to know what is going on with my body. Hope you are having a good day x

See if you can look online or on my fitness pal to get the calories for your meal out too - I found that helped me make better choices on Wednesday when I was trying a ID x

Don't panic Kelly! I had lost 3lb yesterday after my DD on Thurday but have put 1lb back on this morning after my UD yesterday. Make sure you weigh after your DD. I'm sure some of our longer term JUDDD friends will explain better - this is only my 2nd week - but believe in it. Be strict on...

I'm loving it - seem to have loads of energy today and feel really good. Looking forward to getting on the wii in a bit as I didn't manage it yesterday. Night out tonight - yay :) Have a good day everyone x

I think it's the flexibility that makes it work in our heads, the fact that on DDs we are so strict we don't want anything to mess up all the hard work. I'm so aware of everything I'm eating that overall I think it's making me make much better choices! Have a fab day x

Yay! Well done x

Well done Fizzy!! :) X

Ruth - you are doing so well. I really admire your focus and determination. You can do anything you put your mind to :) x

Hope you have had a good day x

Hope so! Weekends have always been my downfall in the past but with this plan - it fits with my life :) x

Good luck with your WI x

Little jars were £1 in asda today :) x

I think you've done a great job Ruth - well done x

Mmmm.....toasted teacakes....sooo yummy :) Well done on your 2nd DD - I don't know how you've done it x Crumpets with marmite for me in the morning :) yay x

Thank you :) Enjoying my UD - spent ages in the supermarket earlier inspecting the calories in everything in prep for a DD that I nearly forgot to buy anything for today!! Lol x I now have sugar free jelly, Melba toasts, mini milk ice lols and lots of other low cal yummies to get me through my...

I agree!!! You have all been so supportive - can't believe this is only my second week :) xxx

Got them from Holland and Barrett, they were fairly expensive but are buy one get one half price at the moment so I have a 2 month supply! I just figured they were worth a try - and hopefully won't give me the hangover that red wine does ;) hehehe :D x

Know this is an old post - just wondering if anyone has tried taking them alongside JUDDD? I bought some today from Holland and Barrett to try them out - they are HUGE! X

Good luck xx

That menu looks sooooo good! I'm off to google where my nearest La Tasca is!! :) X

Unofficial wii weigh in..... -3lb since Tuesday morning!! :D Put 3lb on over the weekend lots of overeating and drinking!!! Tuesday was my official WI - lost the 3lb I'd put on so STS. Had UD Tuesday, a ID - UD Wednesday (1,300ish) and DD Thursday. Weight stayed fairly stable over the last few...

Enjoy your UD :) x

Good luck Jo - have a fab day x

Sounds like you had a fab night Ruth :) X

Mmmm....I can't wait for my UD tomorrow :) x

Well done :) x

Hiya! :) I'm not an exercise fan really so the wii makes me at least do a little bit :) x

Thanks Ruth I did :) Had veggies, cheese crispy pancake and potato :) Total 354/382

Erm...both are really nice! Do you feel slightly more comfortable in one more than the other? X

Ooooooo!! I want that app....off to find it now :) x

Glad you're feeling better. X

Have a good night Ruth - enjoy your beer :) x

Just popping in to say Hi. Hope you are having a good day :) x

I am - looking forward to some dindins later tho...not sure what I'm having yet, something with veggies - craving them!! This diet business does funny things!! Lol Just done a little bit of yoga on the wii - another 50 cals burnt. Every little bit helps in my book :) Hope everyone is having...

Yep! 2 cups of coffee and a cheese slice so far :) Just got the laptop out to get some work done. Need to do a bit of housework too and if I feel like it might do half an hour on the wii. Enjoy yourself tonight x

Indian tapas - that sounds fab :) Hope you are having a good day x

I would! But I find any excuse!! You have worked hard, you have planned out your meal tonight, have done added exercise and are always really strict on your DD. X

Every bit counts :) you are doing so well :) X

I'm having a very lazy day! Lol Had a coffee and going to get on with some paperwork soon - but at the moment I'm just enjoying lazing around :/ well....it is half term :) Make sure you keep hydrated - happy exercising x

Just take it an hour at a time Ruth, keep drinking lots of water and maybe have something small if you need it. You don't want a migraine to ruin your night. Hope your ok x

Hiya! Welcome to the group. I find coming on here really helps me, especially on a DD. Hope you are ok - just keep thinking 'I'll have that tomorrow' :) I really struggled on my DD on Monday - TOTM, and off work, so I just took it an hour at a time and celebrated each one that passed and...

Thanks Ruth I've only just woken up!! :-o Got up when my OH went to work at 7.30 then fell straight back asleep! It's now 11.50!! Must have needed it! Time for a coffee I think :) Hope you are having a good day x

Wooooooooo!!!! :D well done Ruth :D you must feel great! :) xxx

I know! Me too!! X

Aww thank you! It's only because i've been using nail strengthener all week - they don't get any longer than this - they just break! As for chipping....these will last about 30 minutes chip free!! And my other hand is nowhere near as good!! But it was play with nail varnish or get my jaw wired...

Distraction nails - one hand complete :) x

Enjoy your break x

Secret Eaters on C4....missed it at 8pm so got it on plus 1 x

Glad it's not just me! Enjoy your DD tomorrow :) x

Well done :D x

Get the coconut oil on the go - hope it does the trick and you're feeling better soon x

Yep, DD tomorrow. Looking forward to it. All or nothing - that's me :) x Hope you've had a good day x

Good luck to you all x

:) yay! :) sounds great :) good luck for tomorrow x

Mmmmm.....cheesecake.....drool drool x

I am, I am, I've stepped away from the peanuts and the rest are now in the bin!! What was I doing with them in the house anyway?? Lol!! No more eating now! I'm going to have lots of water and paint my nails as a distraction!! :) Thank you :) x

I don't blame you! I have just logged my peanut frenzy on MFP total cals are just under 1300 for the day but I know my UD yesterday wasn't very healthy (big pub meal with friends) and was over my 1912 so I wanted to be under 1000 today, just incase! I'm going to go into the kitchen and throw...

Yes, that's exactly what has happened to me!! Arghhhhh!!! Chop my fingers off!!! ;) x

Grrr!!! I have lost the plot!! Intermediate days are not for me!!! Started picking, picking, picking!!! Grrrrrr!!! And the worst thing is I know I'm not even hungry!! Just once I started, that was it!! Sooooo looking forward to my DD tomorrow. I'm going to have a long sleep in then keep myself...

Mmm...I did :) had the Thai chicken curry 543 cals :) just been on Just Dance on the wii to get some light exercise in too. Hope you are having a good day? X

Awww.....big hugs....xxx Hope you have a good day. X

That's the same as I'm planning :) Enjoy x

Morning! :) Having an ID today as going out with a friend for lunch - already checked the menu and they have a under 600 cal section so it will be something off there. I'm aiming for around 1000 cals today, then a DD tomorrow and a UD Friday :) How are you doing? X

Wooooooooo well done x

Welcome Kelly - have a good DD. They can be tough at first - like most plans. Keep busy, keep drinking and keep posting :) Good luck x

Welcome Kelly :) I was doing SW but couldn't stick to it - too much planning and found eating out too hard! This is really making me think about food differently and I find the one day at a time approach much easier. Good luck on your journey x

Just done 12 minutes on the wii! Not much I know but every little bit hey. Did 6 minutes yesterday so if I carry on like this I may make it to an hour by the end of the week ;) hehehe :D Enjoy your days everyone x

Well done with your loss :) x Enjoy your day x

Hiya! :) x

Mmmm....it was gorgeous :) Enjoy yours x

I know what you mean about feeling thinner - I feel like I have a waist again!! Lol x

My first JUDDD weigh in this morning is a STS. However, was massively over calories at the weekend so at least it's not a gain - and my DD yesterday has got me back on track and in control. UD today - poached egg on toast here I come :D x

Give it another week Laura, if you are enjoying eating this way. I have just had WI and also STS but with the amount I ate at the weekend I'm relieved it's not a gain! It was also my first week after messing around with SW and lots of overeating - feel back in control with this. Hope you have a...

Morning Ruth, hope you are feeling better today x

Good luck with WI x

Have a good sleep Ruth, hope you're feeling better in the morning x

Today I've watched a lot of comedy on love film. Had a long shower. Painted my nails. Spent hours googling JUDDD on my iPhone. Played on the wii. Scanning things in to MFP with the barcode scanner - just out of interest! Anything to try and stop me thinking about putting food into my mouth!!!! X

Thank you - can't wait for tomorrow. Poached egg on toast for breakie I think :) mmmm x

Ladies, ladies...you are making me feel guilty now! Lol! It is a bank holiday after all ;) hehe x

Ending the day 371/382 :) yay! Survived!! X

Hahaha! Must be bad!! Lol ;) x

They are yummy :) I haven't had them for years! The joy of JUDDD :) x

I'm going to get some of those mini kiev's too :) Another thing to add to my shopping list :) hehehe Enjoy x

106cals per pancake :) x

These are from the freezer section x

Just had my dinner :) yummy findus cheese crispy pancake (that I've been craving), potato and veggies all for 205 cals :) mmmm and that's on my DD X

That's what is keeping me going - felt less and less bloated as the day has gone on :) Your shopping looks very yummy. I'm going to get some jelly this week when I go shopping mmmmmmm :) X

I'm not hungry I just can't stop thinking about foooooooodddd!!! I think it's because it's a bank holiday feel like I should be doing something! Eating!! Lol x

We will!! At the moment it's one hour at a time for me not one day at a time lol Really struggling but know I'll feel good when I get to the end of the day so will hang on in there!! Are you having a good day? X

Thank you - I'm struggling today - not hungry but can't stop thinking about food!! :/ x

I am - on half term holiday so hibernating at the moment to avoid food. Lol Feels like it might be a long day!!!! Got lots of house work to do and paperwork for work so will be using those as distractions!! Glad your having a good day :) Sarah x

Sounds like you are mega focused this week Ruth :) Seeing your post keeps reminding me - 'Jelly - I must buy jelly' - lol Have a great day x

Have a great time at the party x

Thank you - I just updated what I had at the weekend - oooops!! Saturday was mega, mega over! Those pesky cocktail sausage rolls soon add up!! :/ Did it as was trying to talk myself out of a DD but now I've seen that chart it's put my DD focus right back!! Woke up with a food hangover - really...

Started well - mon DD, Tue UD, Wed DD, Thurs UD, Friday should have been a DD but ended up having a Friday night takeaway! :/ Had friends over to stay yesterday and today so been very up! Really looking forward to a DD tomorrow - and catching up on a lot of sleep!! :) x

Hi Pingu :) I started last week. Hope you are having a good day x

I'm also a teacher! I didn't think this half term holiday was ever going to arrive!!

Sounds like you had a great time at the wedding Ruth. All that dancing should have burnt some calories too :) Loved your dress, you looked fab. X

Enjoyed my UD yesterday, having another one today as still have friends staying until tonight. Looking forward to my DD tomorrow and getting back into routine :) Hope you are all having great Jubilee weekends :) X

Whoop whoop whoop!!! Congratulations :D Fab weigh in :) and welcome to the 12s. I've been hanging around at 12.12 for ages now, will be nice to climb down them with someone :) can't wait to say hello 11s :) Congrats again x

Thanks bajoleth - it was reading your diary that made me think this the life for me :) I normally struggle with weekends on any other diet - I just like eating and drinking!! :/ I think I need to work on getting my DD a bit lower - I haven't been hungry at all on the DD's I have done. Enjoy...

That's a fab weight loss :) well done :) If today is quieter then stick to your DD. I'm going to try and keep low cal food wise all day and see how it goes once the guests turn up! Hehe! I need to clean this house first - that should burn some calories :) Have a good DD x

Fizzyfluff 8lbs ( 0lbs lost ~ 8lbs left) bajoleth 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs left) Aptenny/Gentoo 5lbs (0lbs lost ~ 5lbs left) Phoenyx 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs left) Curlyzcoop 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs left) Sorry - messed it up the first time I tried to copy! X

Add me too! I'm going for 7lb - that'll would be amazing just to feel like I was losing again!! Curlyzcoop 7lb (0lb lost ~ 7lbs left)

Keep going :) well done on your loss :) x

Hiya Thought I'd join you all and start my own diary for this journey. Was having a great week until yesterday, then Friday night food fever took over! Should have been having a DD but ended up sharing a takeaway curry with the OH - I did share - which is a step forward from having my own!! But...

Hope you have had a good day x

That's fab :) well done x

Hope you a feeling better soon x

Keep going xxx

Thank you - that's a good idea, if I get it in my head now that it will be a DD and that means I can be more flexible when I'm out with friends over the weekend that should keep me on track :) x

Mmm...really enjoying my UD :) Dreading DD tomorrow - mainly because it's the last day of term, the kids are all bring in cakes and biscuits for a jubilee tea party and the staff have decided to order lunch from the chip shop so I will be surrounded by food!! Arghhh!! But determined to stay...

Wooooooo!!!! Well done :D that's great to hear :) x

I'm so excited about the fact I'm having toast for breakfast tomorrow!!! Hehe! :) x

Hello! :) How are you finding it so far? I'm loving it. Resisted biscuits and ice Lol's today at work all with the thought, if I really want it, tomorrow I can have it :) I do hope this works for me x

Good luck with your weigh in :) Seeing your menu reminded me that I must get some sugar free jelly :) x

I've just put my day in for tomorrow too :) Have a great day x

I've noticed I've had a lot of stomach problems since trying SW. Feeling good today - loving planning my UD tomorrow. Feel really positive about this plan :) x

I've been struggling with Slimming World since January, I eat out too much and struggle to find the time to cook everything from scratch. I did lose 6 stone with weight watchers a few years ago, but have put 3 stone back on in less than a year. As soon as I started reading about this diet, I...

I know! What are they like!! I've convinced him he wants to cook something for himself and we will go out tomorrow :) the joys of this diet :) love it :) x

I agree :) loving it so far :) Well done on your DD - especially sitting in maccies - I don't think I could have done that :) X

I don't know - I only started Monday, but from what I read it's the contrast between your DD and UD that kicks your skinny gene into action. I'm going to do my best to stick to those limits for now and see how the week goes x

Been really good all day - stuck to fruit, water and 100mls of milk in my coffee totalling to just over 200 cals. Just got home from work and the OH wants to go for a curry!!! Arghhhh!!! He will have to wait for tomorrow! :/ How is everyone else getting on? I have felt a bit woozy today, but...

Thank you :) Really enjoyed eating yesterday - a bit nervous about my DD today - but should be busy at work so that should stop me thinking about food! Have great days everyone x

Wow Karenlou that weight loss is fab. How long have you been doing it for? X

Hiya - thank you for the warm welcome :) I've loved having so much choice today on my first UD. I used the calorie calculator on the JUDDD website and am going to try to stick to those limits to start off with. My DD limit is 382 and UD 1912. X

Hiya everyone - I've been doing SW unsuccessfully since Christmas and am now heavier than when I started! I've been lurking around the forum and really like the sound of JUDDD. Did a bit of googling to find out more and have decided to give it a go so just wanted to say hi! :) I had a DD...
