Oh blinkin eck, I have come down with a cold, me and my little one have both got coughs and runny noses bleugh 
I have a busy day again today , so will try to catch up with everyone later but in the meantime I hope you all have a wonderful day whether it be UP or DD.
My daily weigh in showed a 3 lb gain this morning which I know is only food weight etc not fat but I have been the same weight every weds for the last 3 weeks, although I am very happey my trend is downwards I think maybe a bit of tweaking is in order, DD today as usual but am thinking of not eating tomorrow until about 6pm when I would normally have my supper anyway, I don't know if thats going to be possible for me but will give it a go, if I can't mange nothing I will just have something light, my aim is to have an 'UP' where i don't gain over a 1lb which in theory should give me a better loss on sat and get me away from the same numbers IYSWIM, don't get me wrong I am really happy with the way its all going I am just tinkering , it may not even have the effect I am hoping for, we will see, anyway off to take some paracetamol see you all later x
Sat 12 7lbs official weigh in
Sun 12 10lbs gain of 3lbs after UP
Mon 12 11lbs gain of 1lb after UP
Tues 12 8lbs loss of 3lbs after DD
Wed 12 11 lbs gain of 3lbs after UP (need to try and curb my UP gains)

Afternoon all, just back from town with my Mum, it went OK I was talking over my diet with her and she suggested that I need to find out how many cals I can eat without gaining which of course makes sense, so DD today as usual which will just be my milk allowance unless I have something later which I doubt. Then tomorrow I am going to limit myself to 1500 I know this is too low but I have to start somewhere, fri DD Then sat and sun UP as normal, then depending on weigh in results I will adjust my weekday UPs to a level where I can hopefully STS or just gain a lb another experiment, boy we like our experiments here don't we lol x

Glad that everything went ok with your Mum!!!
I am doing something similar re experiments for next week! 2/4 of my UPs are going to be IDs and im going low carb on my UPs! It will be interesting to see what it does! This plan is all about finding out what works for us and we are lucky that we can tweak it as much as we like!
I did an ID yesterday (unplanned) instead of an UP and I didn't gain any weight!!!!
MAD!
Hope you're ok!

I think its partly because you are not deprived, you can still eat your favourite foods, go out for a few drinks with friends, things which are possible on other diets but you have to fail on that particular diet to enable you to do them, the great thing about Juddd is that it gives you permission to have a life and to enjoy it whilst losing or in the long term maintaining x

I think thats definitely it!!
It makes us happy and its easy- so many diet plans are ridiculously difficult to follow and you get so fed up and upset with it that its not worth it after a while- thats when I used to give up!!! I have no idea why I didn't find this sooner- Its mad!!!

Um...
Please please don't take offence at what I'm about to write. But I really don't get why you feel you need to do this. If you hadn't lost weight for several weeks, then I'd happily agree it was the right thing to do. But you've been losing a steady pound a week. You've spotted from doing daily weigh ins that your weight bounces up several pounds after up days. Of course it does. You eat a lot more on UDs. But the weight change has to be due to water. It's not fat increase - if it was, it wouldn't come straight back off again. I honestly don't get why you feel a need to find a way of reducing the up day bounce up. That's going to be practically impossible to do, because the water weight is merely associated with increased bulk and carb and salt intake on an UD. It seems that you've convinced yourself that eating fewer calories on an UD is going to speed up your weight loss - whereas in all likelihood, it's just as likely to slow it down. In reducing to 1500 calories on an UD you are in effect only taking in an average of 800 calories a day.Weeks where you stay the same happen on every diet, even VLCDs like Cambridge. STSs often have nothing to do with calorie intake. They usually have nothing to do with whether you've lost fat. On a calorie restricted diet you will lose fat (and most likely a bit of muscle) and varying amounts of water. The water variations are the most unpredictable of the lot. I really really don't think you need to mess about with your calorie intake at the moment. That's your 'diet head' talking. You're doing fine doing what you're doing. Messing about with it is more likely to mess with your results - and definitely your head.
Why are you trying to fix something that isn't broken?
