Buggering eck...1.5lbs off in a fortnight- time to knuckle down and beat this!!! Grrrrrrr.

On the plus side- my first 100% day in over a week and a half! Woohoo xx

Morning Clare - I know 1.5lb is not the best result for a 2 week wi but at least its still a loss hun so that's one good thing. It would have just been awful if you gained so be happy with your loss

Well done on your 100% day.

Your pics are amazing i did have a look and i left a comment on there but forgot to comment on the thread on the main forum. You look lovely in the pics hun and you can really see you have changed shape so BIG WELL DONE !!!

I'm on my 3rd day of this JUDDD diet, feel a little worried that the 2 week trial will backfire and i will gain but i have my fingers crossed. If it don't work for me you can count your bottom dollar i will be back to CD as i really have to shift some more weight before xmas. I emailed my CD to let her know what i was doing and she was fine so that's great.

Evening Hunny!

Aye, after getting over my anger yesterday I've realised I still lost and I'm going in the right direction. I feel so much more back in control now so that's great- although I have ToTM which is flippin horrible!!!

So have you had a down day or up day?

I've been 100% today, which is an achievement seeing as we went to Tesco's food shopping (argh!) BUT I didn't buy any chicken or anything nibbly- just a pair of trousers (size 18- WITHOUT trying on- woot) and a nice top oh and a couple of books to read!

Thank you for your compliments about my pics, there's a lot of work to do still but I can see a big difference! My CDC has given me an entry form for slimmer of the year (hahahaha) but I feel a bit weird filling it in as I'm only half way on my journey. It would certainly motivate me to pull my finger out though!!!

Anyway, hot chocolate is calling and so is a warm bed and a good book! xx

Morning Clare

Good for you realising that you are indeed moving in the right direction. And wow what great motivation to be put forward for slimmer of the year. Sorry to hear about totm, i hope it passes without much fuss. Its such a pain the the backside being a woman at times.

I've got mixed feelings about the JUDDD diet at the moment......
I had an;
up day on sunday - went okay, but had alot of bread which made me feel abit bloated.
Down day monday - went okay stayed within my 500 i think
up day yesterday - totally out of control and didn't stop eating.

So since eating all i had yesterday i have feel really bad and out of control, i made a post about yesterday in my diary on the JUDDD section if you fancy a read. This whole diet thing is so hard and i do really worry about the future and maintaining my weight loss if i cant get a grip now. I also worry that CD wont help with that but i know that it will be the diet i come back to if i cant handle the JUDDD way of life.

There is a few ex CD'ers who have started JUDDD and one lost 4lbs this week which is very promising but i know i have to get a grip with food or should i say "not a grip on food" if i'm going to give this diet a chance to work.

Luckily for me i'm on a down day today so i feel more in control.

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Maybe that's the way for you- the down days will be teaching you how to stay in control on the up days? If it was me, I'd stay away from bread as my recent experiences with it have put my stomach in knots! I'll definitely keeping it to a minimum when I eventually go to maintainence... What kinda carbs are you having on your up days? Or are you trying to get your calories from protein? My CDC gave me a great survey that told me what kind of eater I am- I came out as a mixed type- but she said I was protein due to the high difference between answers- it is supposed to tell you if your body functions best with carbs, proteins or mixed... might be worth looking at- or did I tell you about it already? x

Hay Clare

How was your day ?

On up days your free to eat whatever you wish so i have been doing just that but my cupboards were running very low on one on my up days so i had a lot of bead and yesterday ( my 2nd up day) i had a sarni for lunch and many other things that were riddled in carbs/ I find my carb tolerance is very low, i become really sleepy when i have carbs and before i started dieting and understanding how my body reacts to some foods i could never understand why i could have porridge for breakfast and then fall asleep. I now know its because my body doesn't much like carbs. Thing is there is no way you can cut carbs out forever so i do at some point need to learn what i can have and when to stop.

Oh no i don't think you have mentioned the survey before, sounds interesting, how would i get hold of a copy ? Your CDC sounds like a little gem, maybe that's also one of my other problems with CD, my CDC is lovely but when i go there i spend my 10 mins talking about her and how she is doing on the diet and anything else she fancy's talking about

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Rats! I've just tried to attach it and it's a tiny bit too big to do it here- I will try and attach it in a pm, failing that may need to email it to you if you'd like it.

You many come out as one thing but be functioning at that, but really you are something else- either way it's worth a look. My CDC is going to analyse mine in depth to see what I really need in my diet when I start eating!

One thing that is amazing that CD has given us is our new ability to notice how certain foods affect us. I would never have realised I felt so crap eating bread before, because it was hidden amongst all the other crap I ate!

What a pity about your CDC- I have to say if it wasn't for mine I'd have given up by now- reckon I'm gonna enter her for counsellor of the year! Shame you don't live near me, I'd make you change!!

 

[Sass]

Evening hun,

So hows things been for you ?

Thanks so much for trying to pm me that survey, i will pm you my hotmail address if that makes things easier ?

Tomorrow is judgement day ( WI) tbh i'm just looking for a sts this week but next week i really want to be seeing a few pounds bite the dust or else i will feel a little disheartened by the diet. Its a down day for me today but i have that " its friday, want to chill and munch" feeling Going to be good as i can much tomorrow.

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Evening Hun!

Not too bad a day, but haven't had a break and only got in the door at 8pm this evening!

Still 100% but was getting near the corned beef earlier but that's just because I'm hungry near shake time and I have a headache from being sooooo tired!

I saw the 12s again this morning so I'm determind to keep on it and take this seriously. I even stayed out a bit later to avoid coming home while OH is at work and ordering myself some chicken satay from the chinese!!! Anyway tucking into a mousse now so feeling a bit better.

Good for you staying in control today- at least tomorrow you know you can eat. You may STS this week- remember it could be glycogen stores and water building up from the food you're eating on an up day. I think you're right to give it a couple weeks to see what happens next. Are you planning what you'll eat on your up days or is it what you fancy when you come to it? x

 

[Sass]

Well done you, you are showing that true determination again, your doing so well. Sounds like you sure did have a hard day yesterday with regards to hrs and you still managed to stay in control so i think that's a huge achievement hun. really be proud of yourself for what you have done this week and you sure as hell deserve to see those 12's.

On my up days it is a case of just eating what i fancy which is most likely some of my problem with feeling out of control. It was weigh in today and i'm showing a 1/4 of a lb down which i'm a little happy with, i mean its not a gain but god we all like to see those scales go down even if you know and understand why they haven't but yea next week is the true test for me.

One of the girls i work with is lovely and we have spent alot of time chating about health and diets and exercise as she is really into it all thought she is in very good shape but at the end of the day she works to stay that way. Anyway on my first two days i started there last week i was on CD so had my shake for lunch and teh way things work there we kinda eat together so she knew i was having that shake well anyway she kept asking me if it filled me up etc etc. My tummy was on a very vocal one which was uber embarrassing and i kept having to reiterate that i actually wasn't hungry. anyway nothing moer was said last week about the fact that i was only having a shake so when i went in this week with some food on thursday as it was my up day she was like ' ow i'm so pleased your eating' she said she was very worried that what i was doing wasnt giving me all i needed so anyway i explained that CD is balanced and my body has all it needs from them but i kinda felt she had a small point because its not the norm not to eat and we as CD'ers do it to get the fast loss and then try to deal with our eating dissorders which works but i worry that it only works if like you, you have a very supportive CDC who is putting in the extra effort to think about maintenance for you and your future as a slim person. I don't feel i get that which is maybe why i worry now which is mad seems as i'm only just half way to goal but i just feel my food thoughts are out of control right now and i don't think CD alone can fix that, yes it will give me a welcomed break which is welcomed hence why i come back to CD after Atkins and if JUDDD isn't for me then again i will return but i need to see the diet for what it is and not the things that will fix my whole food habits etc etc anyway my main reason for blabbing on here was just that the lady at work made me realise how this diet although fab for loosing weight fast really wont help me stay that way unless i work on that side of it ( which i will admit although i no i need to fix my habits i have been letting them carry on ) so if i need to eat on CD i was allowing myself to when i really should have been taking a step back and evaluation why ?!

On that note i really must visit my doctor to see what she can help me with as this feels very important for me right now and i don't want to get so involved in the head stuff and neglect the actual loosing side of diets and weight loss.

Anyway enough of that, i am off out today with the boyz and my niece as a little treat for her 10th birthday, its my middle sons bday on Thursday this week too so may take them all out for an evening meal.

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Hey Hunny,

Sorry I didn't reply to your post yesterday- I was so busy!!! Prolly just as well really as I made sure I didn't have time to think about food too much so I ended up with a nice big thick hot choc before bed!

Have another busy day planned with a rehearsal in school then home for some more marking! Oh well one more weekend rehearsal after this then the show, then I can RELAX (before we start the Christmas rehearsals, phew!)

I think that the fact I have a really supportive CDC is key to me sticking with this- if it was just down to me (like WW etc) I'd be well off the wagon! I do travel a fair way to see her and don't see local ones but she is sooo worth it. Have you tried getting in touch with anyone else in your area- or put a post asking people to recommend good ones?

I think what you say about the girl at work is interesting. It's funny how people are so fascinated with the diet isn't it. My colleagues are really supportive and know all about it, but now I'm getting thinner there's the slightest hint of 'how much more do you need to lose', 'you don't need to be 9 stone!' etc- I say I'll stop when I'm healthy and happy with myself But they are funny- some people just can't get their heads around the fact you're not taking in 'food'. Well we are, it's just in a different form- at the end of the day food=fuel for the body and that's what I need to keep me going.

I think you're right that so much of this is about sorting out your battles with food, finding what's right for you and I think I shall find that when I start eating again- luckily with my CDC being a nutritionist that should help a lot.

At least you lost 1/4lb this week which is certainly better than putting on Hun! I expect that your second week you should have a bigger loss as your body has been storing water and glycogen this week. I think it's brilliant that you're constantly analysing why you're eating and hopefully learning to break habits- better to do now while you're losing- if you can get that cracked then it shouldn't matter what diet you do, I guess.

Do you get the Mike Scott No Willpower Required newsletter? I think I asked before- that's always a good one for the self-analysis!

Anyway better go- On a mission to drink more water today- I'll need it for all the shouting I gotta do at rehearsal!!! ARGH! xx

 

[Sass]

Coming back to CD tomorrow.

Kinda looking forward to it.

Wish me luck, i will post properly tomorrow and i'm going to do the survey tomorrow once the kids are at school, thanks for mailing me it hun.

Hope you have had a good weekend.

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Hey Hunny,

Good luck on your return to CD today, I'm sure you'll be fine!!! Haven't got time to talk now as I'm running late, but will catch up this evening! xx

 

[Sass]

Evening

Day one for me today and so far so good, been out with my mum all day which normally leads to food which happened yesterday hence today being day one. Anyway feeling good right now, got a crazy headache but apart from that i'm doing good. Been out all day shopping got myself some lovely bits for work, cant wait to be slim so i can shop till i drop. I've seen so many lovely things i want but right now i don't like spending much more than £12 on a garment, if your doing supermarket clothes shopping which is me then you can easily get away with that budget. Yesterday i got this lovely fuschia pinky mac from asda which i love.

Hows things with you Clare ?

I cant decided weather to have a plus meal tonight or not hmmmm what's one to do ??????

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Well done you on a first good day- I dunno about the SS meal- it may help seeing as you've been eating alot on your updays as late...me I just ate half a chicken!!! I've been so good, however it was either that or a tub of butter so I do feel too guilty about the the chuck!

Been an good day otherwise, but at the mo I'm just sooo hungry- yet I'm in ketosis?! I've lost about 5lbs so far since WI and my new trousers are baggy, so apart from today's blip I'm feeling pretty good x

 

[Sass]

Nice one well done Clare on the 5lb loss.

I have yet again blown it !!!

I made myself a plus meal, i made a yummy chicken soup. I had that which was yum and then the kids and OH had jam rolly polly and someone didnt finish so i gobbled it all up and then because i was bad i had a glass of coke and now i'm pi**ed off !!!

What should i do, i really don't know where to turn for the best right now. I cant stick to any diet.

I was saying to OH i'm so dangerously happy, even though i still have so much weight to lose still. I'm happier than i have been in a long time. But the bottom line is i do still want to get to about 10-11 stone :cry: I need to gain my focus again, just don't know how to get myself back on track.

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Heya sweety, how're u doing? I'm sorry i've not posted for a couple days- it's been so busy and I've been so naughty- takeaway just for me last night Oh well back on it today (well trying)- I'm soooo tired- I slept until 12.30 today, so I guess I must have needed it!
I've noticed you've got a diary going and you've managed 100% day- that's fantastic hunny!!!!
I've decided as I'm being weighed fortnightly it may be part of my issue; I do well in the first week but then after about 7 days that's when I get wobbly, specially around friday when i'm so tired and stressed that's when it's dangerous and I really do choose the wrong things!
Anyway, you've not given up and you WILL get there because you so badly want to!
Sending you hugs! xx

 

[Sass]

Woohoo Clare, i've missed you

Sounds like your right about the two week WI, is there a way you can do it weekly ? I haven't seen my CDC for ages but i have lots of pack so in theory i don't need to see her though i think i need to get back to seeing her for WI's etc. It gives me something to work towards knowing that i have to get weighed by her.

Yep day 2 100% for me today, feeling quiet good about it at the moment so i'm hoping i can do a solid run now and get rid of a few more stone. Feeling kinda ketosis'ie at mo so i may test tomorrow. Scales are moving in the right direction this week which is such a great feeling after them going up and up and up when i was on JUDDD.

And i'm sure we will both get there, you have done really well so far and although we have our blips ( sure i have said this before) we keep going and thats the key. We will be slim lady's !!!!

 

[kellymundy]

Do you have team results this week?

 

[BubblyPenguin]

No Kelly, I don't think we've ever entered them- it's just Sass and me here at the mo, just keeping ourselves going, so don't worry about us

 

[BubblyPenguin]

Well done hunny, you're doing so well and I'm so proud! Tomorrow's my WI, but I'm not sure how I'm doing- Maybe I really ought to consider 810 for a fortnight and try and get back on track- there's only so much cheese I can nibble, and I'm beginning to have an affair with a tub of lurpak!!

Maybe if I have an 810 time and weigh/measure and eat correctly I might get back on track...gggrrr, I'll be glad when this show's over- I didn't wake up until 12.30pm yesterday. I'll have my weekends back next week and something a bit more normal and routine!
