Brilliant news!!

I'll add you now :) See, I'm not a fan of our shops. I really love going to Newcastle (either the Metro Centre or seldom Square), I think they have soo much more choice xx

Hello! I'm a lurker, but really enjoy reading your diary. You're doing so well, and even when you fall off plan you do amazingly well to get back on it! I was wondering what you're insta gram name is? I'd like to follow! I'm not too far from you either I don't think (I'm in middlesbrough). Keep...

Amazing!!

Enjoy your Up weekend :)

Soooo interesting! It was a murder trial so it wasn't nice, but justice was served! It was great to see how it all works, I'd love to get chose to do it again one day! X

Aw thanks. It's great, I usually do a Tuesday and a Friday as down days, but if I was going out on a fri I would do Monday and Thursday instead. I had to do Jury service starting the 11th November, and I got put on a trial that was lasting for 6 weeks, so for those weeks I actually only did 1...

Yea u just have to do what's right for you :). Thanks, I'm actually doing 5:2 now to maintain, but I still call it JUDD just because that's what I started with lol. Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress :) xx

Welcome back! I've been Judding for 15 months now and I'm still loving it! No way could I do 3 DD in a row tho, i couldn't even do 2 lol. More power to u!!! X

Happy Xmas! I've been reading your diary the last couple if days and you've done so well on your SW journey! I don't do SW, I do 5:2, but I've really enjoyed reading :). Also I see you're in the north east.. I'm in Middlesbrough :)

I would hate to give evidence!! I'm really really enjoying the experience of being on a jury though. It's a pretty big case though, so it's quite daunting to think we have to decide on someone's fate :s x

So Judd hasn't gone out of the window but it's been reduced to 1 down day a week for now! The reason for this is I got called to do Jury Duty on the 11th of November and I've got a case which lasts until the 13th December (approx). The first 2 weeks I managed 2 down days a week but that was...

You could check if you like but I've always just used the 500/2000 rule and it's worked for me x

Yea great thanks! I've swapped my down days this week to a Monday and wed (as the cook at work is making a yummy dinner tomorrow. And I'm out on Friday night) then ill maybe do Sunday as a DD as well then back to Tues and Fri next week. I love the flexibility of JUDD :)

Do you mean what did I change? When I began I did Mon, Wed and Fri as down days and the rest as up days. To maintain I now only have 2 down days a week (tues and Fri usually, but sometimes Monday and Thursday) x

Thanks all! I think I was around 11st when I started (1st oct 2012) and I began to maintain (8st12) in feb. my last weigh in a week ago I was 8st 3.8lbs, but I usually hover around 8st5 or 8st6lbs. :)

Happy 1 year (and 8days) of JUDDing to me :). I started the 1st October last year x

I've just been thinking and you know what I find weird is that I've never sabotaged a down day (in almost a year!) but I sometimes feel guilty on an upday. Like today it's 10.30am and I've just ate a double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal from McDonald's. Its my up day so why do I feel guilty...

Glad you're back! It's very quiet on the JUDD board now. Sorry you've been ill, it will be good to read your diary again once u start Judding :) I'm still maintaining, I have 2 DD a week and maintaining well that way.x

Ahh I see! 7lbs off is brilliant, keep it up! X

Thanks! Can't believe you didn't fall asleep reading my diary though haha. What's a 16/8 window? Sorry I'm not clued up on anything! I love love loveeee JUDD lol, definitely doing it for life now :) x

Thankyou! If only I could be back in Cape Verde!! The weather here is getting to be miserable again booo x

Aw thanks. I think it mustn't have been 'real' fat? Or else I'm sure it wouldn't have came off so quickly. I don't know really lol. Hope ur doing ok?? X

Here's a few photos..take me back!!! *removed now*

Sooo I went to Cape Verde the 19th-29th August..all inclusive. It was lovely and I ate 3 full meals a day with deserts etc, and lots of cocktails. I went all our and put on close to 8lbs!! Ouch. I came home and last Saturday I weighed 8st 12.8lbs and this Saturday I weigh 8st 6.2lbs. Thank...

I lost just over 2 stone in 19 weeks, and I've been maintaining now since February :)

Thankyou x Aw thanks so much for that, I'm glad my diary has helped! In the past I've tried reducing calories, WW, SW, cabbage soup diet.,.u name it, I've properly tried it. The only one I lasted more than a week or 2 on was SW, but soon got bored of that. I just love JUDD because even if...

Thank you x Yea I've lost just over 2 and a half stone JUDDing and lost 7lbs prior to that with SW x

Thank you. I'm sure it will :D x

Thought I'd post update photos. The first photo is around 10st 3-7lbs, not sure on the exact weight. The 2nd one was took today at 8st 5lbs. I'm really proud of myself for sticking at this for 8 months and still not had a day where I've gave up. To be honest I haven't even wanted to, I just...

I did 4:3 until i reached my target weight, now I'm doing 5:2 to maintain :)

You'll be there in no time! I've just been and ate it already...it didn't disappoint lol

Mmm really cracking a McDonald's breakfast right now! Sausage and egg mcmuffin meal! I weighed 8st6.2 yesterday when 8st 7 is my goal weight..so I really should get that McDonald's so that it brings me back up to the 7lb mark...right? Ha

Still here...still maintaining. I've been 8st 8lbs the last 2 weeks, so I'm happy with that. I've still been reading people's diaries, I just fail at leaving comments. Life's been busy!

I've been doing it almost 8 months without 'breaking' a DD. Im now at goal and doing 5:2 to maintain (as opposed to the 4:3 I was doing to lose weight). I've no intention of stopping either. I love this lifestyle :)

Brilliant!! Well done x

Kit kat cake..nomnom

Don't forget the .8 haha x

8st 8.8lbs today. So gained 0.8lbs, which is good! Wow, never thought I'd be saying that lol x

Like u said it would have been a much bigger gain without JUDD, so well done.x

That's a lot of walking!! Well done x

Thank goodness it's almost over :). I've stayed at 500 calories so I'm happy x

I know! It's school holidays, so got another week yet. Not that I'm wishing it away lol x

DD today and I'm really hungry! DD's are so much easier when I'm a work!!

Brilliant! Well done x

Well done you've done great!! I've had a bag of wotsits and a handful of chips from McDonald's, agh! Going to wait til about 8.30 and have my belvita biscuits then that's me for the day x

I find DDs much easier when I'm at work. Enjoy your walk x

Ouch!! At least u know the exercise is doing something lol. Xx

If you find it to hard with 350, i'd up it to 500. I know the JUDD site gives you the recommended amount but most people use 500/2000 as a general rule of thumb. Good luck! It's a DD for me today to x

Lol I did the same before I started x

Happy belated birthday! Sounds fab, and guilt free? Well that's brilliant! X

I am pleased yea. Do you have a JUDD diary? If not you'll have to start one so I can subscribe to u x

Aww thankyou :). I really can't rave about JUDD enough. I love it! X

Haha, well there was only 9. My dad and cousin ate1 each so actually I had 7!! X

2 DDs, and about 5 of the brownies...eek! They were so tasty though! I know, I think it'll start tapering off soon, because surely I can't keep losing! X

Yay well done :) x

8st 8lbs today, so a loss of 0.8lbs x

Good loss, well done!!

Sounds like a good plan for now. Enjoy yourself :) x

Well done on a good DD x

It tastes really good. The top bits quite hard and then underneath is gooeyish. Going to put some in a bowl and put in the microwave for 20 seconds before having it later :)

Made creme egg brownie today. Its yummy!

Yea think il have to accept it'll move up and down a little.x

Let yesterday go. Your day today looks yummy for a DD!! Enjoy x

Yeah I think il try that after a couple of weeks. I'd just be scared that I'd put on weight with just 1 day a week. Ahh losing was the easy part lol x

8st 8.8lbs this morning, so if last week was really about about 8st 9.4 then that's a loss of 0.6lbs. Hmmmmm!

Well done! I've had a DD today and came in at around 500 also :). Looking forward to your UP tomorrow?? ;)

Happy anniversary :D x

Subscribing :)

Aw thankyou :) Good luck with JUDD, I swear by it now! X

Yeah fingers crossed that I have it sussed. WI tomorrow so we'll see :) x

Lol I'd say addicted x

Just a bit obsessed!! Had to stock up before they disappear from the shops for good lol

Thanks, yeah I'm happy. Hoping this week will be a STS as well xx

Ooh I like the sound of that DD lol x

Yep Tues and Fri as DD, the rest as UD's. x

I woke up about 7am went to the loss and was 8st 9.8lbs ( was 8st 9.4 last week). Then went back to bed, woke at 9, went to the loo and I was then 8st 9lbs. So who knows what I am lol. I'm going to guess somewhere in the middle and have it as a STS :)

Lol. I had to rearrange my days as it was my sisters birthday yesterday and we went out for a meal. So today was a DD. I'll check in tomorrow with my weekly WI :) xx

You're doing brilliantly! That's such a good loss :). X

Haha only on my hols x

Well my friend at work said it doesn't hurt and that it's just like a scratch. WRONG!!! Worst pain I've ever experienced! I felt like I was being sliced open and burnt all at once lol. Mine is quite a big tattoo for my first one tho (took 2 and a half hours), so that probably didn't help lol x

Lol :) x

Well tattoo was done last night , and it bloody hurt!! Never again lol x

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your foot, that must have been disappointing: Glad to have u back tho :) x

Well done :D xx

Stuffed to the brim, just had this for brunch. Hot chicken club with cheese, bacon and mayo. And a yummy choc cake x

I don't know. This weeks going to be a funny week as I'm going out for a meal on the Friday and getting my tattoo on Thursday so I'd like them both to be UDs. Was thinking of doing Monday and Wed as down days and then Sat as an ID and then back to normal with a DD the following Tues. The only...

Still sounds like a good week. GL with WI :) x

I know it's crazy. I've had Sat, Sun, Mon,Wed and Thurs as UD and Tues and Fri as down days. My Tuesday DD tho I went over cals by at least 100 tho. My UDS I don't count but I estimate I eat at least 1800, I try to go to the gym at least 3 times a week x

WI today was 8st 9.4lbs. Lost 2lbs (but don't forget I put on 0.6lbs) last week. Think I might up my DD cals by a little bit x

Congratulations on deciding to maintain. You've done amazing and look great at the weight you're at. How many Up/Down days are you planning?

Good :). Glad you're feeling better. Yeah I'm good thanks, on a count down til the Easter holidays lol. 3 weeks and counting!! X

How are you getting on?? Xx

Woohoo :). Good luck xx

I don't think it's ever too late :). I couldn't decide between these two.. Then I decided to get the heart on my hip area, but he said he didn't think it would look good because he'd have to make it quite big and the hip isn't a large area so it would look weird. Sooo he said he'll try...

Yea I'm ok with it :) Went to see about getting my tattoo done today. The one I wanted he said he can't do on my hip as it would have to be much bigger than I was imagining. So gave him the 2 I like and he's going to draw some ideas and I go back the 14th march to see them. I'm excited! X

Ok so 8st 11.4lbs today. I have put on, but I'm ok with that as I still have 8st 12lbs as my target :)

Omg soooo cute!

Haha it confuses me too. Good idea to up ur calories the day you're giving blood. My mum passed out after giving it once and now they won't let her give it anymore, which is silly if u ask me because she still wants to x

U got it quickly lol! You'll def notice a difference after a week or so, really takes the stains off :) x And congrats on finally deciding the plan is no plan lol x

Yes I think you should take a diet beak and not even think about what you're eating (once the pressure is off I bet you won't even pig out half as much anyway) and then reassess xx

Well done on the loss :)

I agree, JUDD to maintain x

U brush ur teeth as normal with toothpaste, then after that u wet ur brush and dip it In the powder and just brush ur teeth with it as if it's toothpaste. I looked at the reviews on amazon before i bought it and they were all good so thought i'd give it a go...I'm pleased with it :) *edit* duh...

I have a powder that u can buy in home bargains. U brush ur teeth as normal and then use the powder...il take a pic for u of it when I get home tonight x

Thanks. Yea I think il try that if the other way doesn't work x

Down days I stick to 500 cals, or just under. UDs I dnt count, but a typical UD would probably be about 1800 I'm guessing. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I think this week il up my DD cals to 800 and leave my UDs as they are and see what happens. This is confusing lol x

Ok it says 1638 for my Uds and 819 for DD. hmm x

Hmm no I'll have to have a look now x

So I've just weighed in and instead of maintaining I've actually lost 0.8lbs. I'm 8st 10.8lbs this morning. I'm not disappointed lol. But il see how it goes next week and if I lose again I don't know what I'll do??

*sorry posted in her thinking it was my diary lol*

Hahaha poor kid lol x

Thankyou both x

Ooh so do I lol xx

Good luck :)

Omg that's fantastic!!!! Xx

WI tomorrow to see if I've maintained. I must admit I have enjoyed having an extra UD this week :) x

Level 3 is easier than level 2 I found x

Yayyyy that's brilliant!! Well done you! X

I love UDs too :). Can totally relate with TOTM as well, I'm never satisfied just before I get mine x

ooh looks delicious :D

U can stick to what the site tells u, but a lot of people (myself included) just round it up/down to 500/2000. Good luck :) x

Lol yeah I was like that too. You're doing fab at keeping up with the shred. Wish I had ur motivation to do it x

Ty. How much more weight do u want to lose before u maintain? Because you look fab in ur photos! U can't have much more to go x

Good, I'm adding an extra UD this week (so Sat,sun,Mon,Wed and fri will be UDS and tues and thurs down. Going to see if I can maintain with that, we'll see lol xx

I love Groupon :) x

Ooh I love that outfit! And you're hair is lovely like that x

Ooh sounds a fab weekend. And a spa day coming up? Lucky you!! Hope you have a good DD today and tomorrow x

Aww thankyou. Xx

Gl with WW xx

Ty :) x

Thank you, I'm hoping maintaining isnt going to be too hard. You've done fab, I've been reading your diary, just been crap at commenting. Will be good to have someone to maintain with :) x

Lost 1.6lbs this week so I'm now 8st 11.6. I'm going to try and maintain now, I'll try and maintain at 8st 12 by doing 5:2. Hope it works! X

That's brill. It definitely tones u up! X

Yay well done!! :D x

WI today I was 8st 13.2lbs so just a loss of 0.2lbs. I've decided I'm going to carry on as normal this week and then the week after I'm going to add an extra UD to maintain :). X

Lol good luck! Xx

Well I was hoping to add an extra UP day. So I'd have Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday as UD and Tuesday and Thursdays as down. Not sure if that will work. If it doesn't I might make Monday an ID instead of an up. I think it's all going to be about trial and error xx

I know it must feel disheartening but stick at it for another week and see what happens. I bet you'll have a good loss next week xx

Well done on doing the Shred, I could never stick to it lol x

Thankyou :) xx

Lol aw thanks. Well my goal weight was 9st and at WI last week I was 8st 13.4. I don't think I've lost this week, so from next week I'm going to start and try to maintain :) x

Aw thankyou :) x

Wait and see what WI brings before u think of any of that xx

Got everything crossed for u xx

Thanks, I can def see a change on my stomach and bum! X

Thank you, I'm feeling a bit better now it's almost bed time lol :). Had a cup of coffee and a Nature Valley peanut bar since my last post, so not too bad x

Ur doing fab. I like Saturday WIs too as I can then enjoy my UP weekend and know it will be gone by next Saturday WI :) x

Thought I'd try and give myself a bit of motivation. 10st 3 on the left and 8st 13 on the right

Not having the best DD today. There was bowls of crisps in the staff room so I was picking at them at lunch time. Got home and I've just has a bag of walkers crisps. Hopefully I can hold off now until about 8pm and then have my belvita biscuits with a cup of coffee. Just not feeling in control...

Just diluted orange juice lol, nothing exciting x

Thankyou :D x

GL! DD for me today. Here's my breakfast lol

I'm turning red haha. Thankyou x

Thanks :) x

Thank you! It's the first time in a long time that I've felt ok about my body. Now I just need to lose all those bruises on my legs lol. I end up with loads from work but I don't know how! X

That's the spirit :D x

I do Monday, Wed and Fri as DD and Tues,Thur,Sat and Sun as UDs. The first week you'll prob find DDs hard, I did but it DOES get soooo much easier (so much so that I actually look forward to them now!). At the beginning I'd eat little snacks throughout the day, but found that made me hungrier so...

Ahh I get you now. Do u find that easier? It sounds easier but I think I'd try and stuff myself silly before the 7pm lol x

Thankyou! I was 12stone this time last year and I did SW and got to 10 an a half stone on that. Stopped SW and went up to 11 and I've lost 2 stone on JUDD since the 1st of October x

Body shots for this week. So excited to wear a bikini for my holiday in August! X

Sorry posted photos here as I thought it was my diary. Edited x

It's great rating the same after an UD! Ooh were did u find the coconut Kit Kat? I want to try the hazelnut one but haven't seen them anywhere x

What's 7-7? It's awful when your head isn't in the right place. Hope u get ur drive back soon, because u were doing really well!! Xx

How are you doing?? X

It worked :D x

Lol you'll be fine. Your first couple of DDs might be hard but just keep thinking it does get easier (and it really really does!!) x

That's more like it lol x

Go to settings (bottom right hand side button) then click 'forum posting options', and turn 'send signature' to off :)

I'm sure it will! PMA!!! (positive mental attitude lol) x

Told you!! Lol x

Yea that's right. Good luck, it really is a great plan! :) x

Thanks everyone but after today I feel SO bloated, full and sick lol. Think I've ate my body weight in food today!! X

Yayyy that's fab!! Hope you've had a lovely day x

I've just thought, I didn't go to the gym Tuesday or Thursday like I usually dp, so maybe that's why? Still going to go to the gym this week tho because its good for me! X

Umm ok so official weigh in today. Last week I was 9st 2.2lbs and this week I'm 8stone 13.4lbs!! What the heck? Was so sure it would start slowing down! Anyway a loss of 2.8lbs (is that right? It's too early and I can't decide if I've got it right lol). Going to do another week of 3 DD and 4 UDs...

Try not to worry about it, I bet you'll lose it and a bit more for next week. Plus no one but you sees the scales, so if ppl are noticing you've lost weight and ur clothes are looser then your def losing inches :) x

That's the BEST feeling! Well done :D

Don't you do 500/2000 already tho? That's what I do, so I'm thinking to maintain maybe keep that but only have 2 down days rather than 3 x

Yeah I thought I'd be able to have more up days too! Hmm maybe when I reach target I will try and if it works we could just do that :) x

Haha good idea ;)

The carbonara one is about 390 I think, and the mac and cheese about 400ish x

They're lovely!! X

Well done!! The first DD is always the hardest, and after a week or so you'll even be looking forward to a D (hard to believe I know lol) x

I agree that it's not a true gain. I was up 2lbs after the weekend (although I think the highest I was up was about 5 or 6lbs!! And I lost all of that, plus more during the week), and after 1 DD those 2lbs had gone. I'm sure the same will happen to you, so don't worry. It's scary seeing it on...

I'm obsessed with these pasta pots from tesco! That ones Carbonara, but my fave is the mac and cheese ones. I have one for my lunch on my UDs and they're SO filling x

Ooh bolognese sounds yummy :). Hmm yeah I'm always happy Monday is a DD after the weekend lol x

Great thank you! Must admit im looking forward to my UD tomorrow now lol x

Yes thank you, had a DD today. So far had a weetabix cereal bar and about to have nature valley bars with a cup of coffee :). Have you had a good day?

Oh dear that's scary!! X

It's my fitness pal :) x

It gave you epilepsy?? Or you already had it before using the belt? X

When the belt is on, it's like pin pricks...ouch lol. Aw thankyou. I've never done double downs, I don't think I ever will for fear of it making me want to give up altogether xx

Well done! You feel sooo much better when you exercise don't you? I'm doing good, it's a DD for me today :) x

Well I've been doing it every day and it hurts lol, but I can't see a difference? I'll give it a few more weeks then post before/after photos x

Aw thanks :)

Looks good! Just remember if you drink tea/coffee to allow calories for the milk x

I've still got a couple of lbs to go, but I'm starting to think about how I'm going to maintain. I know I up my DD calories to about 50% of the recommended daily amount..so I'd have about 800 cals on a DD? But on an UD do I still have 2000? Thanks for any help x

Ty :)

GL tomorrow. I've exercised on a DD a couple of times and found it fine, hopefully you will too x

Enjoy xx

Thank you :D. Going to treat myself to a McDonald today lol x

Official WI today is 9st 2.2lbs. A loss of 1.4lbs :) x

That's brill, well done x

Yay well done :)

Good luck for WI tomorrow. I also WI then too, I'm not expecting much of a loss tho as the scales have been around the same amount all week x

Lol good idea x

Hope u get to sleep soon. There's nothing worse than being tired and unable to sleep! X

Aww nightmare. Yea I don't think 5-5 would work for me because of that reason x

Not bad thanks. It's been an UD today but I'm babysitting at the moment until about 8.30 so I've just been picking really. Going to have cheese on toast when I get home x

Lol I need to eat something. I'm not even looking forward to my UD tomorrow, what's wrong with me???

Ooh yum! Enjoy stuffing your face lol :). DD has gone well, had a weetabix cereal bar so far, and soon going to have a cup of coffee with belvita biscuits :)

Yea had a good UD weekend! DD today, just begining it by drinking my first 500ml of water for breakfast lol x

You've done amazingly!! I think 10st 3 is a good weight for you, you look fab :D

Sounds kind of like my UD today lol x

That's brilliant! Well done :)

Yea that's the best bit about JUDD :) xx

I'm sure it's exercise which has definitely helped me. Have a lovely weekend x

Maybe the double UD would work for you then? You never know, it's worth a shot. Yeah I think it'll be great for maintenance too x

Thankyou xx

I do Mon, wed and Fri as DD and then Tue, Thurs, Sat and Sun as up days. My DDs I drink 1litre of water (well juice) throughout the day, and for lunch have a cup of coffee. I usually don't get hungry until about 6pm now so I have a weetabix oaty cereal bar then (delicious!! U have to try then)...

Just weighed and this week I've lost 1.8lbs. Weighed in at 9st 3.6lbs. I'm over the moon! X

Gl with weigh in, you never know, you might get a woosh! X

That's fab, well done! :D

Have a good day! I love fanta zero mmm x

Lol, sounds like a good day! Yeah it's been ok, just had a mini pizza, looking forward to my UD tomorrow :) x

DD today which I'm looking forward to. Just wish i could stay at home instead of going to work! -8 degrees out there right now :( x

Hey, great thanks! UD today which I'm enjoying :). Hope you're ok x

I do the same days as you and weigh myself on a Saturday morning, that gives me the rest of the week to get rid of the weekend gain :)

How are you?? X

And you will :)! Seriously I can't rave about this diet enough lol x

You're doing really well. Im glad hannahs way seems to be working for you :)

Subscribing. Will read later and see how you've been getting on :) x

Thank you! I was definitely expecting it to slow down once I'd reached 10st, but it's just carried on as normal x

WI today and I'm 9st 5.4lbs, so that's 2lbs off!! I'm reallllly baffled as to why I haven't had a STS yet, but definitely not complaining. Very happy x

I'm good thanks. Had a DD today and its WI in the morning so crossing my fingers! X

Had a good DD today. Official WI in the morning so fingers crossed!!

Sounds like you're doing well! Hope you're feeling better soon x

That's fab, well done you! X

The first week or so I found them hard and tried to have my 500 calories throughout the day but I found that made me hungrier, so now I save them for the evening. My tip is to make sure u drink plenty. Also tea/coffee takes the edge off for me x

Well done :)

Of course I don't mind! If you start JUDD and make a diary let me know so I can subscribe to you too x

Hey :) do u have a diary? X

Yayyy well done that's fab :D x

Enjoy your run today! X

Maybe wait to see if it works for me first. Would hate for you to buy one and then I don't even see any results lol. DD today. Thank god it's Friday! I'm soooo tired, really don't want to get up an go to work today :( x

I find DDs so much easier when I'm at work as I don't think about it as much. Hope u found it easy too x

Wow well done!! Grrr @ TOTM, it's such an inconvienence!! X

Brilliant well done :D

Well done on your DD. Wow, 3 DDs in a row?? X
