Hi Fizzyfluff, thanks. Yes I think I'm eating enough. Yesterday was an UP, so breakfast was around 11.30 and I had beans, fried egg, and 2 slices of toast. Dinner was around 4.30 and I has spag bol, with the extra lean mince and homemade bol sauce. Snackwise I had 3 or 4 mini pancakes (tesco...

Yes thats for my down days

I usually will have a snack around 9 or 10 pm, and then fast until about 3 pm and have something around the 150 cal mark, and then again around 6.30/7. Usually I wouldn't eat until the following day then until around the 10 or 11 am mark. I'll keep going with it as I really do like this. Will...

Having an AGH day !!! Its a DD and I'm so tempted to just eat and eat and eat. I'm here on my own as my DD is gone to her grandparents, and I could eat the house and no-one would know! Have used my 500 cals and trying hard to stay out of kitchen now. Have a couple of cans of Coke Zero in front...

On my second week and second DD of the week. Its great to have a forum for just 5:2!! I tend to not eat until 2 or 3 pm on my DD and then just a snack and will have dinner later. Dinner today will be a fish cake at 150 cals with spinach and roast peppers and courgette. Must figure out how many...

Thats good, I find the DD easy enough - though its only my second week! Today is a DD for me, I do Mon & Thurs and don't eat until the evening time on a Sat. But I don't calorie count on the Sat so if I fancy a glass of wine or some chocolate I do. I lost 3lbs after my first full week and I was...

Same here. It makes a nice change doesnt it!!

Have decided to change my official weigh-in day to Tuesday as I've finished my first full week. So after my first full and proper week, I have lost 3lbs. Went from 212.0 to 209.0, so hapoy with that!!

Had a good ID yesterday, didn't eat until about 5pm and just had dinner, and a few chocolates around 10 pm. Tomorrow's my next DD and I'm strangely looking forward to it LOL

Good news about your test results.

Thrilled skinny today, as I am a serial weigher jumped on the scales thus morning, and even though yesterday was an UD I was down 1/2 pound bringing me under the 210lb mark. So delighted as getting under 210 seemed like a huge achievement and was like a mental block!! Today is an ID so will be...

Yea, I'm following the 5:2 plan - only started on Monday. I plan to do a half fast day on a Saturday and not eat until the evening. Doable for me as I spend Saturdays running around LOL My fast days are Monday & Thursdays. Weighin Fridays

I've spent the last year flitting around between Slimming World and JUDDD. Towards the end of the year, I knuckled down and followed SW. To date I've lost 1 stone. I enjoy it but find weekends very restrictive as I'm usually in my parents and its hard to stay on plan. I've decided to follow the...

Am currently trying to decide what cake to bake as we are celebrating my parents' birthdays tomorrow. Thinking of going for a chocolate cake with orange flavoured buttercream topped with Terrys Orange slices - I don't like chocolate cake so it would be perfect for me :) Dinner will be some...

I weigh myself everyday as it helps me to keep on track, though Friday is the official day. However I was so happy when the scales said 210.4 - which means I have lost exactly 1 stone!! I seem to have had a mental block the last few weeks to get to the 1 stone mark so I'm really happy. Its now a...

Well done Jen, you're at my target goal size!!

Hi guys, do ye mind if I join in? Was on this thread last summer but went AWOL. Started back doing SW at the end of November and have lost 13lbs to date. My aim is to loose a total of 5 stone, as I started at 16 stone even. Turning 40 in December so thats my motivation as I dont' want to be 40...

I'm in - 8lb target. Was down 4lb in January and want to double that as I did faff around the first 2 weeks of the month. Jade2012 - 8lb

Have been fighting with the same 1 lb the last couple of weeks, its up, its down etc. Anyhow finally had lost 1lb this week, rather than STS which is great. Trying to stick to plan 100%. Have another 4lbs to reach the 7lb target for Christmas; that will bring me to my first goal of reaching...

Can I join? Started a few weeks ago and already 8lbs down, and would love to have at least 1stone gone by Christmas - so definately on to loose at least 7lbs by then :)

Week 1 weigh in and down 5.5lbs, delighted with that. Staying to plan 100% each day and using syns too. Breakfast today was 2 slices W/M bread (400g loaf) with chopped banana and satsuma Lunch is S/F veg soup with melon afterwards

Agh, I definately have now realised I have to diet/watch what I eat forever!! Was doing SW/JUDDD during the summer, and was going well. Then went back to eating 'normally' again and now even heavier than when I started. I'm so annoyed and fed up with myself but I have decided no more. Its so...

Well 1st proper DD done in a few weeks! I had an Options Hot Chocolate afterwards last night as I was so cold, it was 40 cals so total for DD was 486. Today and tomorrow are UD. Breakfast this morning was a small banana and 3 Go Ahead biscuits. I then made cupcakes and decorated them with white...

Today's DD: 2 x Go Ahead biscuits (50 cals ea) - 100 WW Ocean Pie - 196 2 pieces Garlic Bread - 145 Cup black tea - 5 446 cals so far today. Will have a can of Coke Zero later and I've been drinking hot water with lemon juice added, and prob another tea. A good DD :-)

Good luck with it. I'm starting over as of today as I went a bit mad over the last few weeks!

I started doing JUDDD a few weeks ago, was doing fine for a few weeks and then just stopped and spent my time having UP all the time. I had this idea to put the weighing scales away for September and that seemed to be a disaster. I weighed myself this morning and I have gained 5lbs!!!!!! So...

Today is a DD and I'm really hungry!! Usually I find that I'm not hungry on a DD but today for some reason I am. Maybe its because I had to use my inhaler last night and that makes me feel antsy so perhaps thats why! Anyhow roll on bedtime and tomorrow! I'm keeping myself distracted and...

I've decided to change my DD around, previously I was doing M/W/F and UD the others. However after last week having 3 UD in a row, and then an DD on Thurs and UD on Fri, I felt doing DD on a Sat would be easier as I work from home on Sat doing a 10 hour shift so I'm at home on my own and found...

Well after having 3 UD in a row this week, and just one DD yesterday, I had a weigh-in this morning as its last day of August. Today is UD, and tomorrow DD so even though Saturday is usually my weigh-in day, I changed it to today. My goal for August was to be 10lbs lighter.........and even...

Very well put!!

I'm heading away tomorrow and will be back on Wednesday. Is it ok to do 3 UP in a row, and then do a DD on Thurs & Sat? Today was ID, I had planned a DD but ended up getting a burger and chips at chippy as new chippy opened in the village. STS weight wise this week, but not sure if thats...

Can I join in - August goal was 10lbs, and just 1lb short. STS this week, but had 2 ID instead of 2 DD so thats prob why. However goal for September is 8lbs loss :-) supergran in for 7! ber-297 in for 4!Hannata 8lbs (0 lost 8 to go) Twinklyjojo 6lb (0 lost, 6 to go) Headache: 8 lbs (0 Lost, 8...

DD for me too - I have to say I don't find DD hard....is that weird?? Just having hot water & lemon to wake me up.

Welcome and good luck. Perversely its the UD I have trouble with! Enjoy your first DD, its not as hard as you may think!

Well done Pauline, thats a nice loss!

Haven't been posting on my diary much, but following the plan and feeling lighter and so much less bloated LOL. Its great. Tody was an UD, I'm still struggling with it as I've been so used to feeling cautious all the time with bread or sweets etc that I can't seem to get my head around the fact...

Shop in Zara & H&M - have only ever been in there with skinny friends. Needless to say I never got anything there

Can I join too? My goal is 10lbs per month, so A/S/O/N/D = 50lbs!! I will be trying to get as near to that as possible :-) mini mouse 21lb (3lb lost, 18lb to go) Phoenyx 43lbs (4lbs lost, 39 to go) Fizzyfluff 40lbs (0lbs lost, 40 to go) time2go (10lbs lost, 35to go) LadyGeorgie 33lbs (3lbs...

Only seeing this thread now. Had my first JUDDD weigh-in on Saturday and down 2lbs :) so very happy with that. Roll on next Sat to hopefully see another loss

Yesterday was a good DD. I didn't eat anything until dinnertime, and just had chicken and vegetables. Today was first JUDDD weigh-in and down 2lbs!! Really happy with that as I wasn't sure if I was doing things right. Off now to work until 6.30 happy with my loss :-)

Well today is my last DD of the week, I had a sneaky jump on the scales and was down a lb after an UP!! Finding the UP days harder than the DD, which seems strange but its good in a way as I'm not overeating on them. Tomorrow will be my official weigh-in day, it'll be interesting to see what the...

I did first DD on Monday too, and I spread it out over the day rather than just have one meal. Its a personal thing I think, whatever works for you.

yea I'm following the 500/2000 rule of thumb for now. So I need to scoff 400 cals before bed to make my metabolism do its job!

Today was an UP day, and I will admit, I have only eaten 1600 cals. I didn't think I had a total messed-up relationship with food but today has shown that I have when I'm afraid to eat 'normally'. I had breakfast and lunch, and ate a couple of treat size buttons & 2 small kinder bars. In the...

I''m on an up day today, and I've had 1600 cals - is that too low? I will admit I didn't have dinner as I wasn't hungry, just wondering if I should have some toast now to bring up my cals? I actually found today hard!! Yesterday was easy, because I knew I had to restrict the cals.

Hi all, I start doing JUDDD yesterday on a DD. Found it easy enough, had lovely foods!! Today is an UP day and so far I've just had a glass of water. Don't know what to have LOL. I have at least 5stone to loose and I like how this diet can be a way of eating for lifetime, rather than counting...

UP tomorrow, not sure what I'd like. Maybe a nice cheesy pasta bake

Today's Full DD - won't be having any more to eat this evening, will have some coke zero later but that will be all and I've accounted for that. B: Muller Light Vanilla FF Yoghurt - 91 cals L: Nairns Ginger Oatcakes x 3, 43 cals each - 129 cals, Laughing Cow Light Triangle - 25 cals D: Aldi...

hello and welcome! I'm another newbie to it and today was first day of DD.

I've just had my dinner - 2 chicken kebabs from Aldi, 58 cals each. So far today I've had 370 cals, 130 remaining. I might have 2 oat cakes later or an fruit split which is 61 cals but I'll see. Found it ok so far today, just driinking a glass of water now.

After spending many months doing SW half heartedly and losing and gaining the same few pounds, I made a decision a few weeks ago to finally get rid of this horrid excess and be slim. I've never been slim and am really fed up now of being fat. Anyhow 2 weeks ago after my decision, I went at SW...

hey ladies, have decided to give the JUDDD a go as it would fit my lifestyle better and I can control the eats on a DD easier than being out and about. Thats just me personally. Anyhow just said I'd let ye know, will pop by now and then to see how ye are all getting on. Good luck to you all xx

o wow, congrations on your new job! My sister works in Saudi and loves popping over to Dubai, think she'd rather work there LOL.

Bajoleth, I am new on the Judd threads but I have been lurking on it for a few weeks and read the other thread in question. I personally think you are a great ambassador for JUDD & are so helpful to everyone.

I've been following SW religously for 2 two weeks, and I'm thankful I lost 6.5lbs with it, however Im even more thankful I found this forum and for that reason I am starting JUDDD tomorrow with a DD and really looking forward to it and being slimmer. ps is it ok for me to jump on this thread???

Thanks Mandy!

Definately another one here who recommends taking measurements. Its great to see them coming down. I actually took mine again last night and I'm a whole 12cms slimmer!! OK its not huge but its going in the right direction :-) Sitting here with my cup of hot water and lemon, trying to wake up...

This fab - going to steal it and put it as screen saver on PC. Had weigh-in this morning, and down 2.5lbs so 6.5lbs so far.

Charl, fair play to you for sticking to your diet. Not sure I would have! Just had half a Wispa Gold as only had 4 syns today. I worked the syns out to be 13.5 for a full bar (265cals), so half would be 7. It was yum, they are my favourite bar. Can't believe though that I only ate half and am...

I'm even kind of looking forward to my weigh-in on Sat - how sad is that :D

Best of all, we're all in the same position so can support each other. Just had a yum bowl of fruit salad for lunch - melon, strawberries, apple topped with muller light vanilla yoghurt. Sometimes I have to ask myself if its really alright to have that much fruit in 1 day LOL. I've some...

Chicken breast stuffed with a mixture - 2 Dairylea cheese trianges mixed with chopped spinach and spring onions; served with brocolli, mushrooms & cauliflower. There's a few salad potatos left so might roast them in fry-light with the chicken.

Well done you Tilly

Its great to see the thread so busy! I'm still feeling full after dinner even though I didn't eat all of the pasta. I had an Options hot chocolate with 3 tablespoons spray cream and an oat biscuit so thats 6.5 syns so far today, can't see me eating anything further at the moment. However that...

I've put the mint ML ones into freezer for a couple of hours - absolutely delish! Mint ice cream :-)

I'm having chicken skewers with peppers & pineapple, pasta, spinach & leftover roast veg (peppers, courgettes, onions, mushrooms)

I'd love to be able to swim but scared witless! I'm finding it ok so far, feeling a bit 'picky' now today so I cut up some melon and have the bowl on the counter in front of me so popping a cube into my mouth now and again. I love the food diary, its like an achievement to write down how well...

Started SW on Mon, 30th July. Target is 10lbs loss per month until I reach my target of 140lbs - so about 8 months in total. Once I reach my monthly target I will be happy, if I loose more than my monthly target well that will just spur me on. Any comments or tips on my food diary would be...

Thanks for the replies ladies about my lunch, I had an apple after it as had no tomatoes or mushrooms in. Went shopping in the afternoon and picked up some mushrooms. Dinner is chicken skewers with chicken, pepepers and pineapple chunks; pasta with spinach, left-over roast veg from last night...

Hi guys, can I join in? Another newbie to the boards here. Have started SW on Monday and doing it solo as no groups in my area. Have at least 5 stone to loose but concentrating on 10lb loss each month.

Thanks for the tips, will try to up the syns to 10 at least .....shouldn't be too hard!! I've a question - planning to have my 2 slices WM bread with poached eggs & beans at lunchtime. Would an apple & some melon after it count as SF ? This is the part I find confusing. Ultrabluedress, I find...

Well I finished my day on 7.5 syns. Options Hot Choc (2), Oatey biscuit (3.5), a bite of an Alpen Light bar (DD & BF took the rest) (1), and for my supper a bowl of strawberries with 4 tablespoons of squirty cream so syned that at 1 syn (2 tblspn = 1/2syn) Have a cup of hot water with lemon...

Hi all, new to the site and doing SW from home. Have 5stone at least to lose, looking forward to doing that.

Hi everyone, new to the site and to SW. Am doing it from home as I'm now the heaviest I was ever at and am so down over it. Knowing its my own fault doesnt help either. Anyhow have my head in place and know that this isn't a diet but a way of life from now on - it has to be. My ultimate target...
