Howdy all....I have been neglectful of my Diary :ashamed0005: Thought i would pop by and post an update. Despite not being here on my diary I have been continuing with weight loss. I switched from JUDDD to Fast-5 around May time as I needed some restriction for UDs as I found myself eating huge...

Morison do Black farmer sausages and Asda do an high % gluten free one too. Neither are cheap but the do have offers at times. :-)

Hi Katy87...looks fine. Next time try and go for a virgin one preferably organic. It stores in the cupboard not the fridge and is solid at room temperature. :-)

Hi fellow faster. If you are choosing an eating window form of fasting it might be worth reading Bert Herrings Fast-5 book. It's free to download on the Fast-5 website or 77p on Amazon for kindle. I have been doing it for several months now after starting last Dec with JUDDDD/ADF. I really...

3 hard boiled eggs but only eat 1 yolk. Protein based snacks keep you fuller for longer.

Hi...I'm doing a similar WOE called Fast-5 which uses a 5 hour window instead of 8 but the principle is the same. Been doing it since the middle of May :-)

I'm from sunny Blackpool lol!! I do fast-5 form of fasting now where you eat only in a 5 hour window a day. You can eat what you like but the idea is to keep it healthy and nourishing. Whether this would be suitable for a diabetic I'm not sure. Are you type 2?

Hi Dizzie! I'm from Lancashire too :-) I would go and have a look at the Johnson Up Day Down Day Diet website. There it talks you through what you need to do and gives a acalculator as to how many calories to eat on ups and downs. Fantastic weight loss so far...well done :-)

Yes I am carrot......I follow the principles of eating slowly and stopping when I'm full and only eating when hungry. It really helps on UD to stop it being a face stuffing session lol! :-)

Oh yes and I eat below 500 Cals mon, weds and fri :-)

I try and stick to the same window every day. I try to do 4 til 9pm so I can have tea with my family. There is a free book on the fast-5 website. Interesting reading :-)

I have been doing alternate day fasting since the beginning of December. I moved to fasting mon, weds, fri in January. 2 weeks ago I decided to combine fast-5 with min, weds, fri fasting which means I eat within a 5 hour window every day whether fasting or not. Seems to be working really well :-)

Hiya! I have been doing JUDDD since the beginning of Dec. I have just started combining it with fast-5 where I only eat within a 5 hour window. I am still keeping to the 500/2000 rules. I will let you know how it goes but I am finding that there is only so much you can eat in 5 hours!! :-)

Hi peoples...if you are trying fasting days you should come and join us on JUDDD (Johnson Up Day Down Day Diet) on Minimins, theres a section for 5:2 fasting also. Lots of recipe ideas and support to keep you on track :-)

Hi Louiser! How's it going...what did you go with in the end? :-)

It's soooo easy.....you eat approximately 500 calories every other day which is a down day and then in the up days you eat whatever you like up to an average of 2000 calories a day. There is no ketosis involved. It is not possible to fail :-)

Like you, I have done many many diets. In December I started alternate day fasting or ADF (Johnson up day down day diet). I really can't recommend it enough as you only diet every other day and there are huge health benefits too, I feel like I have found the holy grail of dieting. There is a...

No the back to it was back to JUDDING lol. Have 4 weeks off now :-)

Home again!! Yay! Preliminary weigh in shows 5lb loss (TOTM and long-haul flight). So that is a total of 14lbs since new year. Can't complain! I love JUDDD! A few days off to get over jet-lag and family noshing then back to it :-)

Yes it's 14lb since new year :-). I just got back off a ship and cant weigh myself on there

I am really excited Ladybird :-) Only 2 more sleeps on this ship, one sleep in a hotel then big pale home for me. I have done a DDD this week as the camp boss is making his famous carrot cake tomorrow before we leave and I will be travelling much the rest of the week.

12 more sleeps then I will be home :D Another NSV today...I had to go and ask the storekeeper for some smaller coveralls as the ones I have are hanging down between my legs. They used to be a little on the 'snug' side...especially whenever I came back to the ship after my time at home. My 5...

Cheers Jilly...will go and find it :-)

Hi Han, Would you be able to post Han's Way again. My other half is trying ADF but suffered a terrible attack of gout (first time ever and after a month of ADF). Apparently intermittent fasting can be a trigger. i wondered if doing it your way (only 24 hour fast instead of the 36+ on normal...

Fantastic Welshmama!!...well done :clap:

UD today :-) Don't really do breakfast bt got peckish after the morning meeting so had a hard boiled egg. Dinner...not much I fancied really...2 tbsp rice, broccoli, tiny bit of beef strog (was horrid...a bit like shoe leather) and a funny stir-fry type thing with chopped up hot-dogs and diced...

Well thats a full week of UD and DDs now. Feeling good apart from TOTM :-( An NSV for me last night...was on an UD and in the evening I though I fancied a bit of choccy. Now I run the tuck shop onboard the vessel so its all in front of me! Normally I would have scoffed a full sharing bag of...

Well done Ladybird...hope you are finding JUDDDING easy enough :-)

Righto...am back. Been reading Hannata's diary for days and days..phew!! Came down with a dose of tonsillitis last Tues (travelling back to China day grrr) so yummy antibiotics for a week. Due to travelling didn't really stick to plan as I could only eat noodles and latte anyway cos of my...

Hi Han! Phewwww!! I have finally finished reading your diary from 'cover' to 'cover'....only taken about 6 weeks lol!! I have been JUDDDING since sometime in November and really loving it. I have really enjoyed reading your diary and find your posts truly motivating. I am just recovering from...

Weigh in today. STS on the scales. Feel loads better and my clothes feel looser but no evidence for it.....strange. Back to sea in tues so will hit the gym again and hopefully see the numbers shift on my 5 week weigh in.

Well into my second JUDDDING week after Xmas and doing well. I'm finding it easier to go as lo g as possible in the day on a DD before eating as generally the hunger isn't bothering me anymore. It is strange how this diet messes with your appetite! Generally not that hungry on up days either.

Thanks guys x

First post Xmas weigh in and lost 7 pounds.....woohoo! Really good start :-)

Now on day 7...weigh day tomorrow. It has been a good week but had quite an Up Up day yesterday. My daughter is struggling a bit as she weighed after an up day despite me saying not to, so trying to keep her motivated too. Hope you are all doing well x

Happy New Year to all my fellow losers! Lets make this a year to remember, when many goals and mini goals are achieved :D

Hi, my friend is thinking of joining me on JUDDD but works nightshifts 4 times a week. What would be the best way for her to alternate her UDs and DDs? Ant fellow shift workers out there? :-)

Thank you Jilly. I will pass on this information. I was thinking more of the pre-maintenance phase of the plan so she would have a slight defecit but still able to enjoy her up days. Many Thanks :-)

My friend is looking at doing JUDDDING but is breast feeding. I don't see a problem with it.....what do you guys think?

First DD after the Xmas period and the after weigh in this morning the damage was an 8lb gain. Very premenstrual too so not too worried. Back in the zone though and have got my other half on board too :-)

Merry Christmas to all my Minimins compadres! Have a belt busting time and successful slimming in the New Year xxx

Yes I did but it seems to have been removed from everywhere! I eventually found it on Vimeo :-)

Wow! That's fantastic!! Well done :D

Hmmm...I tried that but there is only a 5 min heart attack grill clip that I can find. Thanks though. If you happen to find it could you post the link on here for me please? x

Does anyone known where I can waych the Horizon programme 'Eat Fast Live Longer'? I have googled it to death but can't find it :cry:

Cheers maccalenny.....I am home for 5 weeks now. I started JUDDDING about 10 days before I came home so I'm hoping it might be easier at home as I will have more choice on my DD at home......but also more temptation lol!!

First weigh day in nearly 6 weeks after a DD and two UDs at weekend. Lost 11 pounds! :happy036: Only been on JUDDD for the last couple of weeks but I really do feel it accounts for the larger proportion of my weight loss. So from here on in every number will be a true JUDDD weight loss. Watch...

Travelled home on a DD and even managed a meal out.....total came to just over 600 cals so not too bad. Just on my second UD as I went to the wedding yesterday and tonight am going to the pictures so def will be having popcorn.,..yummy :-) DD tomorrow for me then first weigh day in 6 weeks for...

Wahey! Finally managed to get off the ship and now at Hong Kong airport. I love DDs...... Yesterday everyone got poisoned with pork stirfry which I definitely would have had.....but I had clear broth with broccoli and cauliflower in it!!!!

We are 8 hours ahead of the UK...so nearly tea-time! I should be going home tomorrow but it looks like there may be a problem with the crew change :cry: Gutted...as it's my neices wedding on Saturday.

I usually listen at bedtime as I settle down to sleep. It is really relaxing and I think I go to sleep but maybe its a deep trance as I always wake up for the countdown. I struggle with the full sensation but I think i am getting there now. I think the stomachs of us fatties are just that...

I worked it out Wobblytum...it was because I hadn't put in my current weight! I have just repeated my starting weight as I can't weigh myself at sea lol!!

Okey doke....that's my 2nd UD nearly over. It's 18.15hrs China o'clock. My total for today is approx 1845 cals so far. Just had egg fried rice and chicken in oyster sauce followed by cherry crumble and ice cream saved from last night (why do they always have the good pudds when i'm on a DD??)...

What is it with this waking up early thing??? Since I started JUDDD I have woken up well before my alarm each morning and it's only my 4th day. I usually have to drag myself out of bed after snoozing the alarm as much as possible. :confused: I mean..it isn't a problem. It's nice to wake up...

Welcome aboard Crunchy! I have learned so much from PM and am still following his plan but I am combining it wit JUDDD. I think if I had done without it I would have just gorged on my up days. To only eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full and leave stuff on your plae really changes...

Welcome Claire! I am a newbie here too. Let's rock this Juddding lark!

Oh yes I forgot.......it's fajita day tomorrow! The best day of the week on here in my opinion. Yum. ...and would you look at that..it's an UD too....now that's planning for you! ...and I saved a portion of tonight's cherry crumble to have tomorrow cos you cn bet it will be a rubbish pudd on...

Hi Teresa, I am the medic on here, currently out in China. I am well attuned to my hunger signals now but still never feel full. Today, however, was my first UD after my first DD and I have found that I was full so much more quickly than usual today. Only just had room for my apple crumble at...

Wow!! That's fantastic! You have done really well :clap: I hope I have found the plan that works for me too.

Sure you can! Lets get us a gang going on!!! :grouphugg:

Righto...here I go! I have just found JUDDD on Minimins. I have never heard of it before! I have done many, many diets in the past and I am currently following Paul mcKennas method. This has helped me relearn what hungry feels like and to slow down my eating and have smaller portions. I have...

Welcome Cupcake! :bighug: The more the merrier. I am nearly 4 weeks in now and loving it. It is very liberating. Good luck and enjoy x

Hi Guys! I'm doing well. Suffering with PMS really bad...full of fluid, grumpy, craving choc, etc. PM talks about emotional eating but he doesnt talk about hormonal eating. Can't weigh myself until I get off this ship on the 14th so it will be interesting. I have had a couple of little...

Hi Pippatience :-) So...it's just the 3 of us then lol!! Let's show them how it's done. I think the reason for many people not following or sticking to PM is that it is generally a slower way of losing weight. Also, some people I think are addicted to being on a 'diet'. It is hard to...

Thanks Wobblytum, I really hope it works for me this time. QUick question...how do you get your BMI details and stats up on the side? :confused: Cheers x

Hi Guys, I have recently gone back to PM after a few years off. I started it about 3 years ago but then had to lose weight quickly for a medical so had to resort to drastic measures :-( Since then I did SW and lost 2.5st but then started working offsfore where the right foods just werent...
