Thanks Madam D! Had a good UD, out in evening but didn't eat badly (left most of main as it was dried out and not great!), however was a bit of a boozy evening and drank at least a vat of white wine! oops!
DD today and it' s going to be a good one! Week 5 weigh in in the morning and I hope/expect to see at least 1lb off!
Fingers crossed for me please!!

Thanks Mini, it is such a joy to find a plan that fits in with your life. I have never been able to do that before and I am finding it so liberating. I can socialise on UD's and be sensible on DD's and I still manage a weekly loss, this week I hope for 1-2lbs, so watch this space!

Fingers, toes and everything crossed for your weigh in. It is great to be able to have a full social life and still lose isn't it. I have been cooking like a mad thing ready for tonight, probably won't want to eat much myself when it comes to it but it's nice to know that I can.

It's been a good DD, finished the day on 599 (so much better than 600!). Beginning to love Sunday nights, the whole feeling of another full week of Juddding done happily and the anticipation of Mondays weighin. It really is a complete departure for me, this feeling of contentment and achievement all at the same time. Whatever the scales say tomorrow I am confident it will be a drop and that is the main thing. Hope it's a lb plus but if it's half a pound then that will be fine.
Can't believe I have been Juddding 5 weeks now, it has gone so fast. Took time today to read back most of my diary and it really is interesting to me to see myself settling into this plan. I still see this as my future, juddding forever, getting to the weight that feels comfortable and then staying there!
On that happy note, I am off to bed. Can't wait to alter my ticker tomorrow.

Hi Barb
Just wanted to say how inspiring your thread is and how pleased I am for you that you've found your own way of approaching weight loss. I think the attitude is fab!!
Everything crossed for you tommorow but I'm sure the result will make you smile

Yes Lacey, I am smiling and thanks for all the nice things you said!
Lost 1 lb this week, very happy with that, not bothered if I can stick to that as a regular chipping away is what i'm after. TBH this weekend was a lot livlier than I expected so I was half expecting just a half pound gone, so I am really chuffed!
UD day today and I m quite hungry so we will see how it goes.
8.5lbs gone forever! Hooray!

Yes I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so pleased, it feels so good to know that I can keep this going for a s long as it takes. 5 weeks in and I feel as confident and happy with the plan as I did in the very exciting first few days. I have never felt this kind of confidence before, it really is empowering.
I had already prepared myself for a .5lb loss this morning and would have been perfectly content with that - after all this is a long haul trip, not a quick getway! To have lost a lb makes the week really worthwhile and once again I have done lots of socialising without having to feel gulty or worried. Brilliant.
Thanks for all your support and cheering on, it really does make such a difference. i feel like I am Juddding for all of us, not just me!

Back again!
Morning Barb, well done on another lb, 8½ is a great loss, you're doing so well and you're such an inspiration.
I'm giving the old Judddering another go, been having rather too many up days of late and I'm half a stone away from my originsl goal weight, I've been chasing this half stone for most of this year and it's been up and down but I've never quite lost it all, so feeling really determined and raring to go today. Just had two cups of tea so far this morning and will have my first shake shortly. Feeling very positive though and it actually feels quite nice not to be eating today, I've stuffed all weekend and I'm really ready for a DD today.
Have a good one

Good for you Madam D - I am sure you can achieve your goal with Juddding. I think it is a case of being content with small losses and getting in a good pattern. I am being much more orgainsed now and that is really helping. I was relying too much on making EVERYTHING myself on DD's and that was getting me down. Now I am buying a prepared salad for one meal and making something for the other. It has made a huge difference.
I am so excited by all this Juddding, I think come the end of July i could be creeping down towards 15and a half, that is so exciting and so doable.
So welcome back to Juddding and good luck with it, I am sure you will soon be at goal and maintaining like a proper little Juddder!

Hey hon,
Another lb - Woohoo! You're doing so well.
I'm not sure I'll manage 1lb this week. Will try not to stuff my face with crap tonight/this week. My brother & his fiancée are coming over with their 20 wk preg. scan pics tonight, the scan is today, before Mum goes on hol tomorrow so between aqua & visitors there should be no sneaky fridge visits!

You stay out of that fridge you little minx!
I am having a good UD, but a bit weird. Got back from work to make lunch for DS and DH, automatically got out some crisps for me and some cheese etc.. then realised I just didn't fancy sandwich and crisps! WHAT!!!! The original crisp muncher doesn't 'fancy' crisps! Well, guess what, I put them away and made myself a delicious prawn salad! Then had a toffee crisp, well you can take being a goody2shoes too far!!!

A very good Ud yesterday, really wasn't that hungry. Made a lovely chicken curry for dinner and left half of it! Had some wine though so not entirely angelic, on the scales this morn I am just .25lb up, which for me is good after an UD, so looks like I could seea good loss this week. Would love to do a lb a week, that would make me around 14 for Christmas which would be amazing. Talking of Christmas (which I know I shouldn't be really as we are in the middle of a scorching Summer), it occured to me how easy it will be with Juddding, just have UD's for the 2 main days and then carry on as normal! Same for New Year too. What a plan, enjoy the holidays guilt free! I love Juddding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Barb, that thought about Christmas is brilliant, it is just the hardest time for most diets but with JUDDD it should be a breeze. It's interesting what you say about food tastes changing, it sounds like we are going through the same weird thing of just not fancying stuff on an UD any more. All over the weekend I could have had any lunches I wanted, DH was away so I could indulge in the stuff I like and he hates, and what did I want - salad!
I'm sure you will lose at least a pound a week, probably more like one and a half. So, being conservative, by Christmas you'll be 14, being more optimistic you'll be 13! That's got to be worth some sequins.

Oh yes, sequins at the very least. Isn't it nice to be able to look forward to the future and know that it is going to be a slimmer and fitter one. I have the feeling I am doing this just in the nick of time. I am getting a lot of leg ache and back ache lately and I am sure it is weight related. I am only 5ft1 so know I should be a very much lighter person. It will be so nice to watch the lbs gradually slip away and know they are gone for good!
Having a good DD, had first food of the day at 1.30pm and it was a nice crunchy salad. Followed it with a M&S meringue nest, 50 cals of delicious sweetness!
Probably will make one of my special omlettes tonight. Also thinking about preparing a vat of low cal veg soup, will work out the cals and let the eats and treats thread know if it is any good!
