I'M JOINING YOU!
Hi everyone, my name's Hazel I'm 33 and live in Torpoint, Cornwall (near Plymouth). I have 3 children, 2 boys 11 and 7 and a little girl who's 4.
I have been on this forum for a week or so and was going to do Slimming World (did it a couple of years ago and lost 2 stone, only to put most of it back on again!) However I came across you JUDDDERS and wondered if it could work for me.
I did a DD yesterday and managed really well to stay under 500 calories, however today my UD hasn't been too successful. I do tend to comfort eat and was very stressed out so ate all day long. Now wondering if I can do this after all.
Just wondered how everyone stays in control on UDs, any advice gratefully received.

Oh welcome Hazel!! I'm in Plymouth so very near you. I'm 33 this year! Also have two boys (5 and 6) and a little girl who is 4 at the end of this month, how weird is that lol!
Good luck on juddd. I think most of us find the down days to be easier than that up days so you're not alone lol. Yes it is very easy at first to go over the top on your up days, just make sure you stick to you're cals on a down day and try not to go too mad on an up day and you'll be fine. Once you get into the swing of it after a week or two the novelty of the up days wears off and you start eating less on them, infact you find you eat less than you normally would. So stick at it and you'll be fine. Make sure you drink plenty of water on both up and down days as that really helps!
Take care and good luck xx

Hi Hazel and welcome to Juddd.
Like Stirky says the up days do get better, now when I have eaten too much I can tell straight away, I feel all bloated and uncomfortable. My appetite has changed so quickly that I think my head is still stuck in the old way of eating, but I am sure it will catch up soon.
Good luck.

Hi Stirky, yes how strange! especially as I hadn't even heard of JUDDD before joining the forum! My little girl Grace was 4 last week! We're also roughly the same height. Although must be different builds as I don't think it would be physically possible for me to get to 10 stone lol! When I lost weight on Slimming World I got down to 11 stone and everyone said I looked too skinny - as if!
I'm drinking lots of water and that's definitely helped. I will stick with it and hopefully it will work as I really like the idea of it.
Hi Sanghi, thanks for your welcome. I too have a problem with my head - it's always telling me to eat! lol.
Looking forward to chatting and keeping each other motivated.

Hi MsJmc. I always get headaches anyway but the first two dayss seemed to be the worst. Havent had any since. This is my fourth day. If you want to have a look at what I have been eating on an upday, have a look at my diary in the JUDDD section, I have been keeping a record of calories eaten on up days too. I dont know whether it will be useful until I start losing weight lol. What do you eat on an up day? do you try to stick healthy or eat all the forbidden things? I try to stick to as healthy as I can with the odd curly wurly thrown in for good measure. damn those curly wurlys !! lol I try and have at least 2 litres of water a day which i find easier to do on a down day. I also find the down days easier than I thought and I take it as a challenge too, although it is coming up to star week so might have the urge to splurge soon

Wow thats a lot of healthy stuff there lol, I am not that good. When I am at work I tend to have the same thing on up day (I am quite a fussy eater), 2 weetabix, then ham toastie for lunch and chicken and jacket potato and beans for tea with some fruit throughout the day thrown in for good measure. Star week is the week you are due on when you are at your heaviest (well apparantly) although I always tend to notice I am lighter not heavier lol.

Ms JMC, I think Shanny said she was starting with you on Saturday so I that will be 3 altogether. I think most people who have been on it have not lasted very long and changed to other diets. Maybe it is just a short term diet, who knows it is too early to tell. I am giong to give it at least 2 weeks and so far I am onto day 6.
On my down days I tend to eat things like weight watchers soup, raw rhubarb with sweetner, strawberries, ham sandwhich etc
