Oops fasted mon, weds and fri!! 3 days in a row would be sooo bad!

Hi, I started last August with an eating window from 12 to 8 ish and fasted on mon, tues and weds but usually managed 600-700 calories and lost weigh, no counting on non fast days but still managed to loose just over a stone before mid Dec. I went astray over Christmas, jumped back in in the new...

I lost 1.6 lbs and another good skinny day today, 456 cals - so long as I avoid the kitchen for the rest of the evening!!! Good luck everyone x

Hi, not sure if this is just me but.... Pizza and a cider tried to kill me on Saturday!! I felt so stuffed and my tummy ached, the fasting must be working and is changing my eating habits because that doesn't usually happen. I went lower than normal with calories on Sunday because I couldn't...

I'm fasting today after a very disappointing weigh in this morning.......how is it possible to put on 1.4 ponds after a fast day??????? Stubbornly refusing to give in to the hunger and hoping for a whoosh when I'm on the scales tomorrow because maybe I'd stood on the scales in an odd way this...

Oops pressed send as I was checking that one over - blooming phone!!! I've never really managed more than 1 really good fast and 1 or 2 controlled low cal days but its working for me and I'm sticking to it as long as it keeps me where I want to be. It's easy to pick up again if you have s bad...

Hi, only been doing it since end of August, I lost 1 stone 3lbs up to Christmas and have lost slower once I got to a body size I'm enjoying being at. I have more to lose but I'm enjoying fitting into my size 14's do I've probably only managed 1 proper fast each week and I've lost about 3 more...

It does, poorly never helps dieting/avoiding food!!! Keep at it x. My hungry has gone but I'm still frequenting the loo rather regularly!!! Darn you water!

I'm on a down day and I'm struggling with a very rumbly tumbly, I'm persevering though so I'm drinking soooo much I'm at the loo every few mins!!!! I should never have eaten breakfast, it set me up for trouble! Anyhoooo off I go again for another cuppa... Can't wait for tea time!!!!!! I'm...

I like this thread.... I can eat my favourite things when I want to and soon after if I'm on a down day If it goes wrong it's flexible and easily fixed

Oh no, I hope you're getting better now. I'm not doing well with the downs yet, I'm trying to have healthy food with the tablets but all I want are crisps and chocolate :0( I threatened to try doing a marathon before I turned 40 but have you seen phoebe from friends running?? I look like...

Thank you Derbynanny, how's it going for you?

I got down to 10:11 on the 8th of march and had a little yippee I'm going to be 10:7 by my 41st which is on the 24th. But on the 11th I got out of bed and slipped a disc and I'm now on so many painkillers which cause nausea and their advice is to eat when taking them and when feeling nauseous...

Hi and welcome, I love your name... I started with an up day because I knew i'd feel like I'd had a good start before cutting down for a down day!!!! Good luck x

Hi, keep on going, I find that a squeeze and stir soup keeps me going at work and they're quite tasty, on a fast I only have soup but I have a roll and a bag of crisps on my other days, I also take a lunch bag with everything in and put a big piece of fruit in to make it look like more food...

Thanks, I'm going to take a look x Lots of children have "odd"lunches unless it's pure auger staff usually won't talk to parents and it sounds like a healthy lunch x

Hi, I'm really interested in this but worried about my boys lunches like you seem to be. My eldest is 10 and has upset tummies if he eats sweets or pizza so this way of eating might help, I'm thinking he may have a bit of ibs if its possible to have a bit of that!! I am also a reception...

Oooooh, Sounds interesting and fab weightloss for not dieting too x a friend got this but ended up in the bath with chocs and a magazine instead!! I'll have to let her know it works if you read it! Lol x

Weigh in today 10:12:6. Yipppeeeee! That's only 0:8 lbs but I only managed 2 dd's and 1 ID... A very busy week at work.

Keep going, it does work if you keep at it. Sometimes it's hard to do, I stalled for a month but I'm losing again now, I think my body just needed a break!! Xx

Thank everyone. I was 12 1/2 in jan 2012 and just in 12's in August 2012 and started juddding then, I'm so chuffed to be going down slowly but surely and I'm back on the wagon in the new year. Not the amazing losses of some judders but a great success for me!! Xx. Lets keep going and we'll all...

And thanks to love2bslim too, I'm not managing this replying business very well tonight!!!! How are you doing? X

Thanks welshmamma too xx I think you posted as I was typing!! How's it going x

Thank you ladybird, I'm determined not to bounce back up this time so I've tried to have a controlled up day but I think the cake might have pushed that a bit higher than I wanted!! How are you doing? x

Weigh in today 10:13:4. Yippee!!! I've lost 1:2 lbs and made it into the 10's, I don't think I'm going to weigh this week because I don't want to see the 10 at the front vanish!!

Sat up. 11:0:6 Sun up 11:1:6. +1 Mon d. 11:1:6. Sts Very pleased it's just +1 after a weekend of munching and not feeling 100% An ok down day today, But I always seem to struggle with calories on Mondays, it's a busy day at school and then meetings too so I'm ok at work but eat too much...

Doh!! they are 12's and I'm nowhere near fitting into them!!! Not sure where 10 came from!! Wishful thinking perhaps!!! I'm a 14 at the mo!!! I'm heading for 12's and I'll probably stop there for a while.... Honestly what a mistake!!!

Doh!! they are 12's and I'm nowhere near fitting into them!!! Not sure where 10 came from!! Wishful thinking perhaps!!! I'm a 14 at the mo!!! I'm heading for 12's and I'll probably stop there for a while....

We will get there!!! I just posted about my tens!!!

I just squeezed myself into my 10's. I know some people will wear them that tight just to say they are a size 10 but I was putting lives in danger with the possibility of button fire and the muffin top could feed thousands!!!! Lmao. (I wish I could do that - so much faster than dieting!!!!!)

Yippeeeee that's great, you're going down!! Xx

Thanks for all the details you put in, it makes me feel better about the post up day lurches that I see in my daily weighs. I lost my way a bit in Nov, tried again and got to my lowest for years mid Dec and need to get back on track for a new year. You're doing really well x

That's great, well done x

I weighed in this morning after an up Thursday and came in at 11:0:4 so that's a loss of 1:8 lbs in a week which is really good for me. I am so pleased I've had pizza tonight as a treat!! So I'm not sure my official Saturday wi will be good so I'm sticking to today's!!! Lol x

Thanks x

Lovely up day yesterday but not a great down day today, 700 calories... Pants..... Going to try a fast with only soups on friday to see if not really eating anything helps!!!! I'm sure its just that TOTM time but I'm not impressed! I keep trying to get my head around the 5-5 way of...

Thanks, that made me chuckle! I agree with the eating makes you hungrier, I find that I'm ok if don't have breakfast and just have soup for lunch, it's after eating tea that I feel hungry so I might try a full fast until maybe a light snack before bed if I'm hungry....

A good down day (for me) came in just over at 538 according to calorie count so I'm quite pleased althought I've hit the nibble stage of he evening so in making myself a cuppa and pretending the kitchen is locked!! Lol

My ups can give me an extra 3 lbs on a Monday wi but I've usually got rid of that on a dd on mon and weds and show a loss on sat after a third dd. trying harder this time though, want to get well into the 10's aiming for 9's really!!! X

Hi, my hubby is in the same boat, and he's just starting this with me because I've been slowly successful since starting in August with a break from the end of Nov until last week. Off I go again! keep on going x

I'm doing that too to try and keep my downs as real downs or I end up sneaking extra calories I don't need but just want to munch on!!

Hi, most online articles advise against more than 48 hours fasting. I'm enjoying 3 fasting days each week and the weekends off. Give it a go but you might need to monitor your calories on up days to make sure you get enough, have you tried the calorie calculator on the juddd website, that...

You're doing so well! X

Thank you everyone, I'm new to the posting malarky so I don't know how to cut and paste on my iPad yet!!! Doh but I'm aiming for size 12 and hopefully under 10 stone, 9:7 maybe but I'm already feeling so good at a 14 already!!! I've not been that low since my teenage years and I'm 40 now...

Weigh in day today and it's 11:1:4 Keeping Saturdays as my weigh ins although I often found that I was lighter on a thurs morning before an up day but I think that the weekly loss is a more reliable measure of weight loss...

Well done! That's a great result x

I'm 11:2:4 today, off we go for a proper dd !!

I started on the 22nd of August 2012 and I've been doing ok, not following it religiously but making a really good dent in the chub. I started at 12:0 and got down to 10:13 before Christmas. Not the most phenomenal weight loss but I am feeling better, I'm a size 14 (which I haven't been since...

Have you read it yet? I've read some good reviews about a similar book on amazon but can't find any about this one yet...

I agree with Jilly, breast feeding can be challenging enough without the added worry of getting enough nutrients for both the baby and the mother. Weight loss will happen faster once she has weaned the baby and routines are easier to maintain She could maybe discuss this with her health...

I'm enjoying the cake and eating it!! I'm sleeping in my jeans tonight!!! X My mum in law has just complemented me this evening so I shot off into a rave about the diet so I may have a diet buddy now.

Thanks, I have enjoyed reading all the posts and the diaries. You are doing so well. I love the cheerful tones to people's posts, some other forums can be a bit spiteful and judgemental and there is only support and encouragement here. I'm staying with you all for this journey x

Well I was getting rather fed up with the scales not showing me any good losses in the last two weeks, I have lost 12lbs in 10 weeks but after my best friends wedding a couple of weeks ago and managing to fit into a lovely dress I hadn't made progress on the scales. So after reading about the...

Thanks, sounds like a better plan x

Thanks, I've been eating couscous, pasta and salads, too many carbs might be causing energy slumps, do I need to find more protein to stop the hungry feeling? I forgot to say I'm vegetarian so I'm going to try some beany/lentil soups. I have been spreading calories through the day. But still...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while and wanted to say thanks and well done to everyone. I started on the 22nd August and I've lost 5.8 lbs so far but my calories have not really been down on the down days. I'm going to commit to the downs and stick to 500 if at all possible now that...
