Now you're just showing off :p Seriously though, what a brilliant week you've had!

It could be because your fat is turning into muscle. Apparently Juddd does this without exercise? (i read it somewhere). SO therefore, say the fat on your stomach turned into muscle, it would shrink in size but might weigh a bit more or stay the same. Whatever, an inch off your hips and your...

I know what you mean! I'm even having a panic about the office christmas lunch. They've just change the date and its gone from an UD to a DD! Put my Juddd schedule right out! Christmas definitely isn't as much fun when you're a grown up! is it time to open the brandy yet? :7834:

Good luck with your weigh in. I'll be interested to see if you counting the cals and not going over has made much difference. I don't count on UDs but I think I need to start too as they are becoming more and more out of control! yesterday for instance I ate so much I can still feel it all...

I often feel like this with JUDDD too. But then when I think about it and look back, there is a downward trend (for you too), it might only be about 1lb a week but I think most diets you only lose 1 -2 a week and that's if you stick to them ridgedly. (unless you do very low cal every day, and...

Sounds like you've got everything going on at the moment! Hope it all sorts out soona and life gets easier. At least you've managed to maintain though which is really good news :-)

Thanks. yesterday's DD went very well :) Now for today's..... so far so good, but then it's only 11.0am! Looking forward to the weekend though and that will get me through today! ..... I hope! :o

Hope you got a better night sleep last night and that you're feeling better.

Well done! I had a goal of 195 by Christmas, don't think I'm going to make it let alone 199. You're nearly there tho!! :D x

Yeah, the weather has a lot to do with it I think. Soon as it's dark just want to put on my pjs and and crash out with the comfort food! My UD was actually better than my DDs. Had some pasta and some chicken for lunch. For dinner I made Tarragon Chicken and had it with some potato wedges. It...

I STS. Think I got away lightly though, could easily have gained half a stone! :whistle:

It's gone all wrong for me this week! I don't know if it's because of TOTM or just because I'm addicted to food, but I'm so hungry all the time and hungry for bad things like pies, biscuits, cakes and chips, not good things like dust and water !! :break_diet: I've decided that today I'm...

Thank you very much.

Aw no, hope the cold doesn't get too bad and you recover quickly. My DD wasn't the best yesterday. Shared a bar of Cadbury's with the husband last night :o. Stayed the same this morning, so hopeing I can pull off a good DD today and lose a little bit for weekly weigh-in tomorrow (so far I'm up...

Well done, that's a fantastic result!

Starting my first DDD of the week, today...... Wednesday feels like such a long way away :sigh:

Hello, I'm on TOTM too! Got awful stomach pains today and in a foul mood! It's also a DD for me :wave_cry:

Had an enormous gain of 2.8 lbs overnight! I did eat a lot of cake yesterday though and took the kids to MacDonalds for tea. Annoyed with myself for going overboard. have to make sure I have a very very good down day today to try and undo some of the damage before the weekend! :rolleyes: Fri DD...

Its great and the easiest diet ever.. my loss was very slow at the start, but then it picked up after about a month. But the way I see it is I can do a hard diet where I lose weight quickly, give up after six weeks and put back on what I lost and more, or do JUDDD, lose slowly and stick with it...

Aw it happens. It happened to me on Monday night actually. It's not the end of the world though and as you've gone straight on a DD today you can easily undo any damage this week. x

Reasonably good DD yesterday but not perfect. Time of month I think and I just want to eat all day! UP day today and I'm going to enjoy it :D Dropped 1.1lbs this morning, making a total loss of 3.1 lbs for the week! :D Two weeks ago I set myself a target of 2lbs a week so I can lose a stone by...

I lost 3.1lbs this week :D Hannata : 6lbs - 0.9 lost, 5.1 to go Juju_doll : 8lbs - 0lbs lost 8 to go Derbynanny : 5lbs - 1.8lbs lost 3.2 to go Luv2BSlim : 4lb - 0lb lost 4 to go Faithfluro : 10lbs - 2.5lb lost 7.5 to go Vickykelly78 : 6lbs - 0 lost 6 to go Namaste: 6lbs - 0 lost 6 to go...

well done for taking the plunge. Like the others say, DDs do get easier as you get into it.

Struck down with a migraine yesterday afternoon, took one of hubby's magic pills and it cleared in about an hour which was a miracle, but I had maniacal craving for carbs. I had a bowl of veg soup and two pieces of bread and butter followed by a cup cake (Bailey's flavoured). This morning I STS...

Don't worry about it. JUDDD gives some peculiar results sometimes and you might get a woosh this week. You've still done really well anyway x

Thank you :) I had a gain yesterday of 1.6lbs but a STS this morning (double UP day weekend). Quite happy with that. Saturday night we ended up going to an Italian, I had a goat's cheese salad and a pizza, hubby and I shared a bottle of wine thhen afterwards on the way to the taxi we decided...

Dropped 2lbs this morning :) Think I´ve had my best week so far. Been a good ud so far today, not feeling like I want to stuff my face anyway. Just hope tomorrow is the same so MOnday´s weigh in is not too bad! Looking forward to a meal out tonight with the family. Weigh-ins MON DD +2 Tues DD...

Woohoo!! Well done. And you never know, sometimes when I have really low losses ll week I'll end up dropping after an UD. But whatever happens you've still done brilliantly and as you say it'll come off next weeks. Enjoy your weekend x

Mmmm enjoy your pizza. and you're right, this is the most adaptable diet ever! Why didn't I find it 20 years ago? :confused::D

Welcome. I was like you and sick of dieting, being really strickt for a couple of months and then going off the rails and forgetting about it. I have found with JUDDD is even if you do go off for some reason one week, it is so easy to pick it back up where you left off. And you never really...

I get terrible road-rage on DDs. I'm normally a very placid person, but on DDs on the road I'm pure evil. I blasted my horn so much that the guy who'd cross infront of me on his pushbike almost jumped right off it!

Hello :) I drink! (that sounds really bad, I'm not an alchy). I have Weds, Saturday and Sunday as up days, I usually drink on a Saturday and sometimes on a Sunday. Either some beers or some wine, now and then some vodka, a few cocktails.... perhaps I am an alchy :p Good luck if you decide to...

My last DD of the week! I'm starving this morning, belly rumbling, I'll have a coffee in an hour and hopefully it will ease a bit. I dropped 1.6lbs after yesterday's DD so add that to the other ddd I did this week so far is a total drop of 3.2lbs since Monday! :D Hopefully I'll drop a bit more...

Ah yes, you're right it was Jo. Well done! I fast all day but have some soup in the evening, I'm not sure I could go without, especially now its cold and dark by the time I get home from work.

Where are you going? Somewhere nice and warm? :) I had lasagne and pototo wedges last night, it was lovely. Back to it today! Cup of green tea so far, usually I get through by drinking loads of water but the toilets at work are out of order and it's a loooong walk past many open plan offices to...

Thank you Fizzy. I stayed the same this morning after yesterday's UD. Had a very high carb dinner last night of lasagne and potato wedges and a glass of red wine. We didn't have anything desserty in the house at all which is a good thing as I think I would have scoffed the lot! Double Down...

Good morning and well done :)

Sexy dress! :D I'm sure you'll look fab in it,

Someone else on here said that their weight loss stalled when they started doing zero cals on DDs. I can't remember who it was now. But eating your cals even on DDs seems to work best for most people. We're all experimenting though :)

Are you on UD today too? I have been pretty good so far, just toast for breakfast, some pasta and tomato sauce for lunch and a few cups of coffee, I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight though! It's just that this weather makes me want to have a ginormous carb fest! :rolleyes:

I agree! Also, I wanted to say, that before and after pic of you, the difference is amazing and you did that in less than a year? Well done! :)

I agree with you about the evenings, I just wanna snuggle up with a box of chocolates. I've been having hot soup and a slice of wholemeal. Helps somewhat, but I still have to be stern with myself the rest of the night to stop myself hunting for snacks!

Aw the puppies are cute and I can imagine how hard it'll be to give them up! Well done for your down day yesterday.

My downdoads were realtively pain free this week and I dropped 2.6lbs. I'm on an UD today but will be doing double DDs again tomorrow and Friday. A nice bowl of hot soup in the evening really helps me on dds.

Well done on your loss after a fab weekend :D

Loss of 2.6 so far this month :D Hannata : 6lbs - 1.7 lost, 4.3 to go Juju_doll : 8lbs - 0lbs lost 8 to go Derbynanny : 5lbs - 0.4lbs lost 4.6 to go Luv2BSlim : 4lb - 0lb lost 4 to go Faithfluro : 10lbs - 0lb lost 10 to go Vickykelly78 : 6lbs - 0 lost 6 to go Namaste: 6lbs - 0 lost 6 to go...

You're still down almost a lb and a half from only 6 days ago though. You're still doing great.

OK I'm back to it! Double down days Monday and Tuesday knocked 2.6lbs off :) So now am back to where I was before I went to London. Healthy upday today with 3 normal meals and then another set of double downs before the weekend, hopeing that will put me a bit lower than I was before my mini-break.

I'm in. I want to lose a stone by Christmas! So I'll kick it off with an 8lb loss in November. Hannata : 6lbs - 1.7 lost, 4.3 to go Juju_doll : 8lbs - 0lbs lost 8 to go Derbynanny : 5lbs - 0lbs lost 5 to go Luv2BSlim : 4lb - 0lb lost 4 to go Faithfluro : 10lbs - 0lb lost 10 to go Vickykelly78 ...

Its my second day of Double DD today. I had a really bad week last week, couldnt get back into it after my mini break and gained 2lbs :cry:I did a proper DD yesterday and dropped 1 of them so hopefully today's will get me even again. I know this works.... just need to stop taking breaks!

Gosh well done! I've been off the wagon since my trip away, I got back on yesterday with a good DD but you've just inspired to really stick with it properly this time and lose a stone by Christmas! That's my new challenge.

Yesterday's DD turned into an ID. We had to go pick up our dog from some friends and he'd baked a cake specially for us and got all the nibbles out. It would have been rude to have refused any. So DD today, UD tomorrow and then Double DD Thursday and Friday. I stayed the same weight wise this...

me too!

Arrived home late last night, have had 5 UDs in a row and deserved to gain the 4lbs I gained. Had a really nice time though and hopefully 2 Double downdays this week will get rid of most of the gain.

Weigh -ins Thurs UD -1.3 :) Frid DD +0.7 :) Sat UD -3.5 :D Sun UD +1.7 Mon DD -1.1 :eek: but :D Tues DD +1.1 :rolleyes: Weds UD -2 :D UPDAY today and hubby´s Birthday! We´re off to London for a few days.

Double down day completed! yay! Got to admit it was tough yesterday, but I think it´s because I didn´t eat very well on my upday on sunday (mainly chocolate, cake and ice-cream). Anyway, I dropped 2lb this morning, so that´s what I gained yesterday plus a little bit more :D Have to say, after a...

As the others have said, you need to give this way of eating some time.... it seems to take the body several weeks to understand what it needs to do when we do JUDDD. Also, if you were doing normal calories restricting I doubt it'd show a loss either in only 3 days? Just stick with it, it does...

aw Jo, it's hard after a birthday or something, especially if you've still got lots of goodies left! Why don't you just have an ID day and then start your Double DD tomorrow? Also, before you go to bed tonight, I think you should either throw the leftover goodies out or give them away, (maybe...

Well done on your 2lbs :D

I know what you mean! I'm finding it hard today, feeling so hungry and if I hadn't had that gain this morning I think I might have been tempted to cancel today's DD. So maybe it's a good thing I gained lol Hope yours isn't so bad today!

2nd of my DDD today, I gained this morning after yesterday's dd. Hope it's just a blip and I lose it again today!

Well done on the exercise yesterday! Its bound to make a difference. Enjoy your upday x

This will teach me to be cocky yesterday. I gained back the 1.1lbs I lost yesterday morning. Gah! Yesterday was a DD too. Hopefully, todays DD will get rid of some of it. Think I still have an overall loss this week so far though... Yesterday's dinner was mushroom omlette, which a bit of cheese...

Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoy the day, don't worry about diets today, the coming DDs will even it all out :D :birthday:

2.9lbs off this week :D bajoleth 2lbs gone 3lbs left zakcat 2lbs gone 4lbs left hannata 5lbs - 2lbs down, 3 to go fizzyfluff 4lbs ( 2 gone, 2 left) kayleehollie: 0.2lbs gone 3.8lbs left jacci48..4lbs gone 3lbs left Sarajane72 1lbs gone 5 left Emilyx : 0lbs gone, 5lbs left Yoga84: 3lbs...

Quite a good weekend, ate lots! Saturday bacon baguette for breakfast, scrambled egg on toast for lunch and homemade curry for supper, followed by homemade pavlova :-) Sunday - I skipped breakfast and had a combined lunch and dinner of cheese-burger with bacon, oven chips and more pavlova. Then...

Good luck at Weight Watchers P! Hope to see you back soon x

Ice-cream obviously works! I had another tub last night after my soup. Total cals for the day was 530. This morning I dropped 3lbs! Which makes it An overal drop of 3lbs for the week! ?

probably because I won't be able to see the numbers! haha actually I hardly can anyway, as I refuse to wear my glasses when I weigh incase they make me heavier!

Sorry about the gain, but it can't be fat gain, it must be water or muscles or something. You have to eat loads of extra cals a week to gain 2lbs of fat. Does your Halloween dress still fit? :D That's more important than 2lbs on the scales. Enjoy your night out xx

great news on your extra lb! Are you still eating mars bars? What other diet could you lose 3lb a week and eat mars bars? :D

After reading this I've decided to get a bottle of wine for tomorrow night. If I gain too much weight on Sunday then I'm blaming you :D

I half wish I'd never found these mini tubs of haagen daaz in the supermarket. The other half of me is so glad I did though as they are so delicious! I have to hide them right at the back of the freezer under the cauliflower though otherwise someone else might discover them ;)

I didn't get a twix in the end, had I read the above first then I would have :rolleyes: Instead I had a mini tub of Haagen Daaz chocolate and cream ice-cream, I figured as it was so cold the cals didn't count at all! :D DD today and I'm actually glad. Still got a bit of this fly hangng round...

I forgot to log at the weekend... I lost 1.5 again. bajoleth 2lbs gone 3lbs left zakcat 0lbs gone 6lbs left hannata 5lbs - 2lbs down, 3 to go fizzyfluff 4lbs ( 2 gone, 2 left) kayleehollie: 0.2lbs gone 3.8lbs left jacci48..4lbs gone 3lbs left Sarajane72 1lbs gone 5 left Emilyx : 0lbs...

I agree with Jo. Don't eat anymore until the morning, 600 is a perfectly good DD when you're doing a double. Drink water or green tea instead, lots of it.

Sometimes the later I start eating on a DD the less hungry I become, until in the end I just eat something for the sake of it, or because everyone else is eating.

I would say don't worry too much about going over on your UDs, it doesn't seem to have a detrimental effect to overall weekly weighloss as long as you do good DDs, especially if you do doubles! As you get in to it more, you're stomach will shrink and it physically hurts then to overeat. :D

wow, you are doing so well with your weight loss. Since you got up so early can you have a siesta at some point, sleep your way through your Down Day :D Good luck with the quitting smoking!

Good morning! Just been catching up on your exciting life :) so 2 dates, a new dress and now you're a TV star? Blimey! What a week! Glad to see it all going so well for you xx

UPDAY! I need to make it a healthy eating one! But not too healthy cos I'm really craving a Twix! Lol Weigh-ins Thurs UD -1.3

Hey P. just flying round on a catch up, so much going on tho haven't got very far! Sorry to hear ur son had chicken pox. Hope the worse is over now. Very well done on ur 3lbs loss :) x

Thank you. I feel so much better now after dd is done. Something else that confirms to me how great this JUDDD this :) so easy to get back on track again. Aside from dd its been a pretty awful,day tho. This morning 2 people were killed after being hit by a train opposite where I work, I was...

I'm skipping the DDDs this week as I've been sick with flu since Saturday. Feeling better today, so starting back with DD and will just do today and Friday as DDs this week. Next week I'll do a double on Monday and Tuesday as going away on wednesday... I'll be happy now if I just don't gain by...

Thanks everyone. Feel better today, sort of. Still got a stinking cold but I should live :) So, DD today and starving already! It's all in the mind though I know it is! Weighed this morning and relieved to see that I have stayed exactly the same since last Friday (day before I got ill).

Got struck down by the lurgy on Saturday afternoon and been in bed since then:cry:I´ve not done up or down days and been mostly drinking cough medicine and eating toast. Feeling a lot better now, so hoping to get back to it in the morning with a down day. Will fill up this afternoon on some...

Oh dear. I was woke up at 5am by the sounds of cannons and other battle type noises! Sounds like an Abba song!? Lol Hope you can get a nap in at some point today? X

I had steak last night. Just a tiny piece but the best quality I could buy. I had it with mushrooms and cauliflower. Really low cals and really tasty and filling too!

Haha me too! I once tried to weigh them on the kitchen scales. Reckon if it weren't for them I'd be 3 stone lighter!

I do mon and tues DDs. Weds UD. Thurs, fri dd. sat, sun UDs. So 4 DDs and 3 UPdays in a week.

Well done Jo. Our hike for today is cancelled as everyone has come down with flu. Apart from me that is! It's tom for me tho and I've been awake all night with period pains :( Only 0.7lbs down this morning. Might be something to do with period. Last month I gained 4lbs so quite good this time...

Hmm the top half of what I wrote didn't post! It just said I had steak, cauliflower and mushrooms for dinner.

Total cals for day 373! Amazed as I had that stupid pastry thing at breakfast!

Tomorrow is a bank holiday for me. So today is really Friday! :-) we're going on a family hike. So I'm taking some ham sandwiches and crackerjack type things for a picnic lunch.

Have you read the book called something like "6 weeks to omg"? Well anymore, it based around the fact that being cold helps you burn more cals and become skinny. One of its suggestions is a cold bath every morning! You have to immerse yourself in it up to your chin for something like 20 minutes!

god I'm so hungry today! I'm thinking its because I ate something this morning (half a pan au chocolat). My body must think it's on an UD and is grumbling now cos it didn't get any lunch! I've just noticed something though.... I have a vest on today under my top and the vest is tucked in my...

brillaint! Well done for sticking it out :D

haha I was going to say omlette, then I realised its made from eggs! I seem to have not much brain power on dds! :rolleyes: If I don't eat omlette then I usually have soups.

I hope your daughter gets better soon ((hugs)). Look after yourself too and I try and enjoy your weekend away x

I slept through the alarm this morning! Didn't hear a thing. Good job I'm on a DD as didn't have time for breakfast anyway! I like the sound of the Jaffa cake spooky bar :D

I'm hoping so, it feels like it is anyway :) I hope you're second DD goes well, is this is double? If so, double well done!

Well done on your STS and also for managing your controlled UD x

He probably never got enough love from his mother or something

Well the good news is that yesterday I lost 2.5lbs not 1.5lb, I just wrote it down wrong on here. However, the bad news is I gained back the 2.5lbs this morning. Yesterday's upday was fairly controlled until last night where I ate a massive piece of lemon meringue pie. It was home made and from...

Well done! 3lb is brilliant in a week :)

Ugh! Woke up this morning feeling like I've got a hangover, unfortunately no alcohol was consumed last night. I calculated my cals from yesterday at around 2300! This is so high because I couldn't resist the lemon meringue pie that was left in the fridge :( gained back the 2.5 lbs I lost...

OMG! I am speechless! What an arse. Luckily you found this out sooner rather than later though! On the plus side, you could always get a take a way meal for one! xxx

I'm thinking that how much you gain from an UD is not from the cals itself but from the amount of food you eat, or rather the heaviness of that food. It makes sense as some of it will be sitting in your belly still the next morning when you weigh... this proved so true on Saturday for me, I had...

Yeah, you're so regular! whereas I am all over the place! Well done though it's moving in the right direction :D

Brilliant! well done. DDDs are the way to go :D

Ur kids are wise. Normal is no good. I meant normal as in eating food rather than hiding in my office starving myself lol My son showed me this photo earlier, it's Snoop Dogg's voting plan. I thought hilarious! (Nothing to do with food or diets or juddd).

yes this is perfectly normal, after a few weeks you will see a pattern forming. Well done so far x

Morning, well done for yesterday, enjoy today :)

Have you weighed in today yet? I'm on pins in anticipatin of your loss :o

Well this week has been a great one for me. I've lost every day since Monday (even after Sunday's Up Day).. so after a very slow start and a gain of 3.8 lbs during a weekend away in the middle, I've now lost a total of 7lbs since starting Juddd on 6th Sept. That'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. It's not...

Well done for getting thru them. I usually stick a film on or read a book in the evening to take my mind off food. Or phone a friend lol Enjoy ur UD today!

Your day looks yummy! Up day for me too. I've just had a cupcake for breakfast, naughty but nice! Which are you looking forward to more? The actual,date or the Indian? Lol x

Lost 1.5 lbs this morning plus 1.1 lbs yesterday. A loss of 3.6lbs for the DDD! That's the best I've ever done! Hoping tomorrow's gain isn't too big. Stomach feeling flatter and I think I have a six pack coming (just joking!) x

I got headaches on DDs during the first week, but not had one since. I usually suffer with migraine but been fine up to now. Drink lots of water will help and of course Nurofen :o

I've never had them so can't help sorry. I hope they go (or are removed) soon and that you feel much better xx

It's 30 degs and sunny today :D Although its a shame I'm stuck in work. I hope you're wrapped up warm!

I live in Spain but am visiting London in a couple of weeks, so chip shop tea is now on the cards for at least one evening while we're there :)

If you need to bump up your cals and you can't physically eat more, then add some mayo or cook with olive oil is a good way. Olive oil is good for you but still quite a lot of cals for a small amount. Pour it on salads or cook with it :) Do try and eat all your cals though, it will help you get...

It was really filling too, I made it with 3 eggs. In fact, we're having another one tonight. (obviously I made several omlette, we didn't all share one 3 egg one). My little boy loved the spinach, especially after I told him about Popeye, so now he wants lots of spinach to get some big muscles...

Mmmm chippy tea. I haven't had one for ages, unfortunately there are no chippies around near me, I will have to start a campaign to get someone to open one up! :rolleyes:

Hiya :-) I stick to around or just under 500 cals on each DD. I only eat a meal in the evening with the family, I use some of the cals for skim milk so have a coffee around mid morning and mid afternoon. Drink lots of water, diet coke also helps. I don't get dizzy anymore, I did at the beginning...

Glad you survived your first DD. Enjoy your UD, having normal meals at normal times is a very good idea on your UDs... I have found with this, I have eventually stopped needing to snack in between meals at all.

I've spent the last two hours planning what to eat tomorrow. I think I might need to edit the list a bit :o

Mmmmmmm toast. :crazy:

Is it your second DD today? Because they are usually a bit easier than the first on a double :) So hopefully you will feel better by this evening. You might also find you can't each much tomorrow, I feel like the food is physically stretching my stomach after a DDD and it pains a bit.... which I...

Give it back to her! She needs it, she's on an UPDAY :D

Hahahaha oh god! Was the pouffe your Christmas present? :-D

Hope the date goes well Alex! I take it ur going on an UD? ;-).

Hahaha that's hilarious! :-)

Me too! 2nd DD today and I'm feeling good! :) I have a dilemma this morning. Friday is a bank holiday I forgot about and we've decided to go for a hike. It'll be a long one so I'll need to eat! So I think I'll have a 1200 cal day and hopefully the walking will counteract the difference. I...

Well done on your interview. I always have around 500 cals too on DD even tho the website says much less but it's still working :-) so don't worry.

Good luck P. Even planned up days on JUDDD are good days. It's not so bad planning when you can basically include whatever food you like :-) x

Well done! That's a brilliant loss :-)

Thanks P. nah I gave us all food poisoning a few Christmases ago from turkey and now I'm paranoid about poultry. 7 of us in the house, it was quite a mess! To be fair it was probably more to do with my cooking than the age of the turkey but I don't want to risk is going thru anything like that...

Just noticed the post above on my iPad looks all weird. Lol Food for today Mushroom, spinach and cheese omelette. Carrots and green beans. Skimmed milk for coffee Water Diet coke Total cals 473 :) Got a rumbling belly now so going to bed!

Hi and welcome. I too fail at all diets! I'm usually very good for about 2 weeks and then gradually give up. I started juddd just over a month ago and have to say it's fab and I can see me eating like this for the rest of my life. Only once had a wonky DD and even then it wasn't anything major...

Well done that's fantastic! it's really good to know that it works so well :-)

HI welcome. Good luck with your first down day. I prefer food as well, and usually save all my cals for the evening and then have a proper meal with the family. It's hard at first not eating all day but you get used to it :-)

Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow! Are you on DDD again this week?

I relax on a weekend and have 2 UDs. I don't think about diet at all and just act like a normal person. I have started to do double down days in the week (Mon, Tues and Thurs, Fri) as otherwise with 4 UDs and only 3 DDs I wasn't losing weight. So now I do it the other way round, 3 UPS and 4 DDs...

Well done on the loss x

Well done! I like to weigh everyday as well, the suspense of waiting til the end of the week is just too much for me! ;-)

bajoleth 1lbs gone 4lbs left zakcat 0lbs gone 6lbs left hannata 0lbs gone 5lbs left fizzyfluff 4lbs ( 2 gone, 2 left) kayleehollie: 0lbs gone 4lbs left jacci48..2lbs gone 5lbs left Sarajane72 1lbs gone 5 left Emilyx : 0lbs gone, 5lbs left Yoga84: 3lbs gone, 1 left :-) Scarlett2020 ...

I so agree with this! I now find it quite painful to eat too much!

Your day is looking great!

A very naughty weekend! On Saturday we went to visit friends and go an Indian take-away, washed down with lots of beer. Thinking back, I didn't actually eat all that much, but the beer really filled me! I even turned down dessert (Homemade chocolate cake and ice-cream)! Sunday was a bit of a...

Finished my first week of Double DDs. It wasn't so bad and in total I lost 1.5 lbs. I cannot believe I actually lost this morning after Sunday's Up day, but it's lucky I did as Saturday was a major UD reflected by a huge gain Sunday morning! lol (Indian takeaway and lots of beers with friends)...

NO unfortunately I don't like Angelina Jolie.

Half way through down day no 4 of this week! This one has been easier that the rest but I wonder if my brain needs feeding! Got to work this morning and noticed my dress was on back to front! I'm able to get it on without undoing the zip now, so that's how I didn't notice. :D Also, look like...

Congratulations on your Grandson and welcome to JUDDD. I used to dream about food too on my first few down days and everytime any food was mentioned or I saw a picture of some I would crave whatever it was lol. Fortunately that has worn off now. Water helps me on dds, lots of it and the trips to...

Hi, you seem to have got off to a really good start. I also save all my cals for the evening on DDs... I find it easier to cope on nothing all day rather than just a tiny amount lol

Ah it's so frustating, dieting isn't it!? Good luck with tomorrow's weigh in xx

Sounds interesting, let us know how it goes x

Good luck to you too. last DD of the week!! YAY! :D This morning I dropped the 1.1lbs I gained yesterday. Hopefully I will lose enough tomorrow to give me an overall for the 4 DDs. Plan for today is water, water, water! Not sure about this evening as have a meeting at my youngest 2's school and...

For me: Green tea Water 1 coffee with skim milk - about 25 cals Special K bar - 90 cals Risotto - 367 cals 1 diet Pepsi Total just under 490 cals :))

Let me think about it .... erm no! :D

I'm from near Cardiff! But I live in Spain now.

Seems I am having lower gains but you are having bigger losses. So all swings and roundabouts :D I just see you are from Wales? Which part? x

I'm actually thinking of doing this double down day thing every week. Will be more downs than ups in a week then and it will help to counteract the extra cals on occasions where there is a long weekend and 3 updays in a row are needed :D So, DD today and tomorrow. Yesterdays UD was a bit of a...

Enjoy your up day :D

Oooh, have fun with the baby making and enjoy your salad! (though not at the same time). x

Haha sorry. It stopped even making sense to me half way through writing it..... but I just carried on regardless :D I know what I mean tho, honest!

1st day of the second Double down day of this week! Yesterday came in at 2100 cals. (I naugtily ended the day with an Oreo McFlurry:o). Today so far, just green tea and water. Will probably have soup or maybe a tuna salad this evening. Daily weigh- ins for the week: Thurs: UD -2 Fri: DD...

It's probably the weight of the kebab instead of your belly and will surely disappear tomorrow :-) Have a good DD. x

Well done on losing 2lbs! I bet it'll be another 2off next week as well :)

Well done for completing your double Slimdreamer. Don't be too low on your UD though, you'll regret it on your next DD. Just enjoy it :D

Glad you've sorted your head out :) Mums always know best! xx

Thanks Jacci, I certainly will :) I'm at work, waiting for my friend to arrive so we can go have a yummy Spanish breakfast together! She is always so late!! Lunch will have to be something from the canteen as I have no food in the house. So I hope they have a good selection of lovely things to...

Well, I only lost 0.2lbs this morning following Double DD. So not brilliant. totm is approaching though so it may because of that. However, looking at the weekly picture I have lost 3.3lb since last Wednesday! (although that was weighing after an UD). So I think Saturday's weigh in will be a...

Wow! Fantastic losses well done. Hope u enjoyed your UD today :-) x

Mmmmm sounds like a lovely day. No apart from breakfast not planned anything. Have to go to supermarket after work as cupboards are bare! I will eat lunch in the canteen at work. Just hope they have something yummy!

I had a mini cooked dinner. But we didn't have any meat in so i had 4 pigs in blankets lol. I felt a little bit mental after work and had the most awful road rage driving home! But I calmed down a lot after I'd eaten something lol. Food tomorrow for us both?! :-)

1st Double DD of the week completed! Ended the day on 470 cals! Had a pile of veg some mash potato and 4 pigs in blankets with a little bit of Bisto gravy. I was actually craving the veg! Just got back from walking the dog and now I'm so tired I'm going for an early night! Cannot wait for...

Half way through 2nd of double down day. While I'm not feeling particularly hungry, I can't concentrate on anything! Which means that I have had the most unproductive day at work ever. I'm going to leave at 4 and work alonger and hopefully more productive day tomorrow when I will be eating!

Yes we can! I do the same with milk. I drink green tea as well but on DDs i start with a coffee as it feels like I've had breakfast lol. I've already got through a litre and half bottle of water since 9am!! Trips to the loo are ever increasing! I was actually surprised at the loss this morning...

Well done!!

I just noted these weigh in results down in another thread, so I thought I'd copy them into here so I can keep updating them (i'm so anal) everyday! Thurs: UD -2 Fri: DD + 0.9 Sat: UD -2.9 Sun: UD +2.2 Mon: DD STS Tues: DD -1.3 Wed: UD- Thurs: DD-

Hello! OK well when I woke up this morning I felt horrible and wasn't sure I could face another DD. But I had a coffee with a splash of skimmed and a couple of glasses of water and now I'm raring to go! Feel a tiny bit of rumbly belly but I'm going to power through it! Have plenty of work to...

Actually your shakes sound quite appealing to me right now~! :D Just think about Thursday when you will already have got through the worse 3rd day!!

I'd just concentrate on having a really good DD today if I were you. Double DDs are hard and personally think you'd be best getting into the routine of JUDDD before you attempt one. Of course, that's just me but do what you feel you can cope with. You can always have an ID tomorrow, if you can't...

Yay! I think it was me. I love it cos even tho it Goes up and down daily the graph shows the overall trend is going down hill :-) sorry about the lack of sleep but at least you can eat today so it'll be worth staying awake for! X

Thank you. Tmi from me too *whispers* it's not the burly kind of gas!

Oh no! Good luck with the visitors. Steps are the hardest I think. Xx

Just woke up dreaming of bacon! I'm going to have a coffe wih a splash of milk now and hopefully will feel a bit more alive and feel like doing day 2 of double DD! At the moment I feel like a starving Ethiopian. My belly feels bloated. I think it's full of gas! Uh oh

Hope it goes well today. I had a mega UP weekend and I too feel bloated! My stomach is actually hurting from all the food in there, so its a relief to not be eating today! :D

I'm going to push the boat out a bit and do 2 DDs this week! :eek: So DD Today and tomorrow, UD Weds, DD Thurs & Fri, UD Sat & Sun.

Had a fab weekend. Saturday was bacon rolls, rest of lasagne from Thursday for lunch and then out for an Indian in the night. Sunday was breakfast out (tostada, cheese and tomato), then a long walk with a beer refreshment and then roast chicken dinner (huge) followed by homemade lemon meringue...

Looks like we are all on DDs today! I had a magnificent UP weekend! lol Good luck today.

.... and me :D

Good luck with the Cambridge. You're quite lucky that you don't have much to lose to get to your goal so you won't be doing it for ever :-) x

Well done though! You did great. X

It's True Weight with a gap in the middle.

We are awaiting a storm here! It hasn't rained for months so I'm qutie looking forward to it. Although, its forecast bad and we've just had an email from HR to say we can go home if we want to and log as if we worked a whole day! :D I'm trying to resist being first out, though I would like...

Sounds like a good day! (apart from missing tooth) for him anyway.

I weigh daily too. I have even made a spreadsheet, I am so sad! lol There is an app on iphone that I use too, its called TrueWeight. It encourages you to weigh in everyday and then gives you a "true weight" taking into account all the fluctuations. I'm not encouraging everyone to weigh in every...

I'll join in.... I bought some new jeans from Next last week, Next Jeans never fit me. They fit like a glove :-) Actually, they were even a little easier to do up today than they were last weekend! I put them on this morning and my husband told me that he can see that I'm shrinking in general...

Enjoy your cake :D

Yesterday's UD : Breakfast - Cheese and pickle roll (was supposed to be lunch but I missed breakfast) Lunch - Pasta and some sort of mushroom sauce (from work canteen) Dinner - Homemade lasagne Snacks: Cornetto, water, diet coke, 2 oreo cookies, coffee, green tea. Bit of a carb fest yesterday...

Everytime you're tempted by the buffet, think of us lot looking over your shoulder, whispering "step away from the buffet".. hehehe Good luck with today! x

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too :-)

Good luck with your weigh in! I think I might try to just do it once a month, makes it more exciting!! :D

Morning :-) your DDs look good to me. I'm no expert but I think you need to eat a lot more on UDs. Around 2000 cals. Good luck x

Welcome both! Looks like you've got off to a great start. I wish my husband would do it with me! He doesn't need to lose much weight but I'd like him to live as long as I do :-)

You will get used to it tho. But if you really hate it add some slices of lemon and lime.. perks it up a bit :-)

I think they do count, but to be honest I feel so much better in general when I drink lots of plain water that I think its worth drinking the water as well as the tea and coffee. I buy a 1 and half litre bottle in the morning and just make sure I drink it all before I go home. I find it really...

It's 3 weeks today since I started. I gained back the 4lbs I lost over my 4 day weekend last week, and this morning I have lost 2lbs of it. So I've lost a total of 2lbs in 3 weeks :( Bit slow but it's my fault for having such a major blow out last weekend. So I guess, if it wasn't for my trip...

Ooh well done for resisting weighing this long! I'm curious too, good luck!!

Me too! bajoleth 0lbs gone 5lbs left zakcat 0lbs gone 6lbs left hannata 0lbs gone 5lbs left fizzyfluff 4lbs ( 0 gone, 4 left) kayleehollie: 0lbs gone 4lbs left jacci48 0lbs gone 7lbs left Sarajane72 0lbs gone 6 left Emilyx : 0lbs gone, 5lbs left Yoga84: 0lbs gone, 4lbs left Clareel: 0lbs gone...

The man sitting next to me on the plane on Sunday was eating hot cross buns! They smelt delicious!!

OMG! I want faggots now.... I'm torn between the faggots and the ceaser salad! lol I think faggots are a Welsh thing too! :-)

Well done so far! DDs get easier, as do UDs. Like Jilly said the guilt goes away eventually. I use Olive oil to bump up my cals if i'm struggling.

I had a reasonably good UD yesterday until I found some cake in the cupboard at around 9pm! GRRRRR It wasn't even very nice but I ate it anyway! Why? Oh Why? :confused: Anyway, DD today and only had 2 cups of coffee with skim milk and a big bottle of water so far! Food shopping tonight so going...

Just popped in to say a quick hello! You've done so brilliantly this year already, good luck with your last half stone on JUDDD :) x

Ewww, I used to work with a man who also got bits of food stuck in his beard, and his belly was so round he always looked like he was wearing a crop top! I couldn't bear to check, but I reckon he also had bits of food stuck in his belly button :(

hahha yeah I bet he was fasting yesterday and woke up starving this morning! Bet his breath isn't too hot!

Mmmmm your day sounds lovely! Just wondering "glorious skinny butternet soup".. is Glorious a brand, or is the soup just glorious? :) Hope your cold gets better soon x

I've decided I'm going to have a normal UD as planned before last night's chocfest and hope I can do a superb DD tomorrow! Already had such a delicious breakfast, will get a salad or something for lunch and fajitas tonight! I left the chocolate that I didn't finish on the table this morning so I...

Good luck with your weigh in. I've decided to do Double DDs one week a month too. Extra boost and I like doing them :-) x

Ummm ok, how do I do that? And can i still have my fajitas tomorrow night? :-)

Hmmmm I failed big time tonight :(. Fasted all day and had healthy veg soup for dinner. Then it all went wrong when I found chocolate in the fridge! Ate about 6 squares of it!!! Feel sick now and also disappointed with myself.

Hi girls, how are you getting on? This is my third week and I can say every DD gets a little bit easier than the last one :) I found a couple of cans of diet Pepsi really helped me get thru the first few and plenty of water will stop,you feeling dizzy. Good luck x

Well done! I agree that it's easier on the 2nd DD and the stomach shrinkage. I also found this on the first UD after wards. I couldn't eat much at all! Left over half my dinner and its not like me to leave ANYTHING on my plate! :eek:

ooh that steak looks yummy! Good luck on your DD :)

Good luck with your goals they are all fab, I wouldn't be surprised if "the one" just popped up suddenly when you're not expecting it, it always seems to happen when you not looking. Actually, maybe popped up is the wrong words! lol x

The bacon roll was delicious and I got a free Twix as well! I am proud to say the Twix is still in my bag untouched :) I ate out every night while I was in UK but that was basically the only times I ate! I just didn't think about food or feel hungry u til then. Maybe that's a consequence of...

3.5 lbs off this week :) that's 4.6lbs in 2 weeks of JUDDDING. Lets hope it doesn't go up too much over the long weekend!

double down day completed! :)) today's cals were 479: Hideous pasta thing, bit like pasta n sauce but Spanish version. I bought it yesterday when I popped in supermarket , before I'd eaten anything and to me then, it looked so delicious! Lol it was like a never ending bowl of soggy cardboard...

I know what you mean about underestimating calories! It's such shocking how many are in some foods! I baked a cake on Sunday cos my little girl wanted to do some baking and omg! and it's very moorish as well, that's the problem! You had an excellent DD yesterday... I just hope all those sprouts...

Then tomorrow you will know that you can eat it tomorrow :)

It used to be a fiver for a hot bacon roll and a coffee. Bit pricey, but once you smell them being warmed up for everyone else, you can't resist! I have a feeling it'll be even more irrestible after a double down day! (also I'm on a work trip tomorrow, so I can claim it back on expenses :D)...

Yes :) well I hope they still do them. x

Well done on your 2lbs loss and completing your Double DD:)

Thank you! Feeling ok so far. I just had a cup of coffee and I can still taste the milk and it feels like I've eaten something really naughty! lol I really hope I can make it until home time! I'm flying with Easyjet tomorrow morning and they do lush bacon rolls! So I'm just focussing on that! haha

Survived!! :) I didn't eat until around 6pm when I had: Bowl of homemade butternut squash soup 6 quails eggs hard boiled 2 squares 70% dark chocolate Throughout the day: 3 green teas, 2 cans Pepsi lite, 2 liters water. Total cals= 470 I'm not hungry at all now, but I did get a few hunger...

HI, sorry that you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon. I'm on a dd today (I usually do dd on Mon, Wed & FRi but was ill yesterday). I have found that the more DDs I do the easier they get. Although I have 'hungry moments' all throughout the day! They do go though eventually if I...

Day 1 of DDD today! Feeling positive so far but then it's only 7.30am!

Well done! That's excellent. You must be so pleased :))

That's sounds fantastic! :)

This morning, woke up with migraine. Feel like i need to eat a nice hearty meal now. Am meant to be on DD but have decided to make it more of a low cals day (about 1200) and do double down days tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm flying back to UK on Thursday for some work meetings and will also be...

Thanks! I have been finding that I am better off having nothing than just having a little bit lol, a little bit of food seems to make me more hungry. It also means i can have a reasonable dinner with hubsand later on. Although your soup sounds like heaven to me right now! I've drunk loads of...

You can do it!

Yes, I am really struggling too! Stomach has been rumbling all day! I'm not eating until I get home from work this evening, tho at this rate I'll be finishing early! I think this has been my hardest DD so far! rumble rumble....

DD and i have such a bad headache today, but at least it's Friday! Finished yesterday on just under 2000 cals :)

Successful DD yesterday :) Today I can eat with the normal people :D
