Jo's Juddd diary 2012

[bajoleth]

Hi, you are more than welcome to lurk lol, you have done really well with your weight loss so far, well done x

 

[bajoleth]

Morning all, have been having a little think and maybe because of the summer hols meaning I am walking less, especially as this rain is showing no signs of buggering off, that I should pay attention to my limits on my UP days. As I said in my above posts sts don't worry me but obviously I would like to see the numbers drop too. I don't usually track but its got to be around 2200 -2500 mark on weekdays and I dread to think on weekends. Don't want to alter my weekends as they make me and my tummy happy lol. So I am going to aim for 1800-2000 on my weekday ups, it shouldn't be a problem for goodness sake, I can do DD s no problem , can't do IM days at all ?? Anyway waffling now so tomorrow and thurs, my weekday ups will be witin my official limit and we shall see what we shall see. DD today , always glad of a DD on monday after the excess of the weekend, lots to do today so will catch up later, have a good day all

This weeks daily weigh ins
Sat - 12 4 official weight STS
Sun - 12 9 gain of 5 after UP
Mon - 12 9 sts after UP
Tues

Nice to juggle thingd about. Shake it up a little x

 

[bajoleth]

Thanks, I think with my activity decreased limiting my weekday UP s is a sensible idea lol, how are you getting on, we seem pretty thin on the ground again ?

 

[hannata]

Yeah perhaps a sensible middle ground during the week is a good way to go. An STS after an up day too, very goood! :0

 

[time2go]

I know! Was so busy for a while. I'm doing ok, seeming juddding, semi calorie counting. I dunno if I am coming or going half the time. Dunno what I am doing :-( trying to figure it out x

 

[bajoleth]

You will get there, whatever you end up doing x
@hanata I am also going to eat my DD cals again, I know this may seem a bit odd but I have been reading a lot lately and others found that not eating on their DD s wasn't helping, when they started eating their DD allowance again then it kickstarted their weight loss? So this week is going to be a bit of an experiment, 500/1800 and my usual UPs on the weekend.
Todays menu will be
Skimmed milk allowance 150 cals
2 slices of Hovis (nimble)
scraping of butter 150 cals
2 slices of Hovis (nimble)
scraping of butter 150 cals Total cals 450 cals

Going to try and up my water intake too, glug glug lol

 

[hannata]

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Keeps your organs working when its got something to process... If you are getting similar losses with or without DD cals, you may as well eat something =)

I try to drink more but I often end up feeling sick and acidburny... so I just drink when i'm feeling hungry or thirsty!

Evening Jo!

Oh Mel, I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, it must be hard being so far apart from your parents, I missed mine like crazy when they lived in France after retiring, I was so glad when they decided to come back to Wales to live. Make every moment with your Dad count , I would do anything to have one more moment with mine x, take care of yourself and I am always here if you need me xx

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Warning - long post alert .
This is for me really, did a lot of thinking yesterday as to why I wasn't more dissapointed with another STS ? Any other plan and I would be throwing in the towel as I would be thinking whats the point this is all too slow, I know that to be true because I have done it so many times. The answer I found was that I actually enjoy Juddd, for the first time in years the scale is not slowly increasing with me trying to ignore the fact that my dress size was creeping up, my weight is decreasing but more importantly to me so is my size. I could quite happily go to the beach today in my shorts and feel good about myself, I don't panic as to what I am going to wear if OH suggests a night out, neither do I panic because 'it will upset my diet plans' as this is no longer true. In the past I have said can we wait till I have finished my diet, if my OH suggested a meal out etc thats no way to live your life.
To me Juddd is not a diet its a way of eating and more importantly its a way of eating that I enjoy, I am not waiting for the diet to end as I think I will always Juddd to some extent to maintain, and I say maintain because I know I will get to goal. At my current rate I may be close at Christmas if so fantastic if not sometime after, but I don't actually care when I get there, I know I will continue with this way of eating and my excess pounds will fall away at their own rate, as long as the scales don't show a gain then I am happy. Juddd makes your body lose fat not muscle or water and that fact actually shows on me I love that.
I would love for more people to find the joy in Juddd that I have and I do try to spread the word but at the end of the day I will carry on Juddding even if I am the last one here, have been on this forum when just me and Karen were following, I don't mind talking to myself lol
So in short, I wasn't dissapointed in a STS for many reasons and all of them good, I had lots of NSV s this week, I enjoyed my UP days I even enjoyed my DD s, last weekend consisted of Burgers and Gu puds and I didn't gain a pound or have to feel guilty for it. I am having a takeaway tonight too and don't feel guilty about that either, all that and I have thrown out my larger size 14 jeans and am wearing my small size 14 jeans, a little snug, but not for long, yep I am one Happy Bunny x

Wonderful post.

Loving this diary!

Me, too.

Hi Mel, Thanks for your comments, hope you are OK and that your Dad is recovering well xx

Okay so I ate my DD cals yesterday as in post above, surprisingly I felt satisfied and not hungry as I expected , will stick with what I had yesterday for my DD s from now on, may be boring but it was tasty and did the job lol.Didn't drink as much water as I should have but I am working on that ha ha. The result well daily weigh in revealed a 5lb loss , so I have lost my weekend gain after 1 DD something I havent done in about 3 weeks, so so far all good. UP day today and am going to aim for 1800 but if I go over not to worry, only trying to rein myself in a bit because of lack of exercise during school hols. Will update later, have a feeling this board is going to get a bit busier after last nights horizon programme, lets hope we can recruit a few more Juddders x

This weeks daily weigh ins
Sat - 12 4 official weight STS
Sun - 12 9 gain of 5 after UP
Mon - 12 9 sts after UP
Tues - 12 4 loss of 5 after DD

Did u see the show? I didn't know about it till too late x

 

[bajoleth]

No I didn't was watching the Olympics lol, I knew about it but to be honest, it wasn't going to tell me anything I didn't already know, I have read loads of research online and am constantly amazed by how quickly my body shape is changing in relation to my slow weight loss. I also feel really good. I really hope more people will take it more seriously now and stop writing it off as a fad, I just wrote a long post on Felix diary and am feeling a bit of a Juddd bore now ha ha . I was also a little worried they may slate it and knew it would annoy me if they did lol ha ha. I may watch it on iplayer if I get the chance x

Hi Jo, Just catching up, my chest infection returned with a vengence a side effect of my lupus thats makes any infection or virus to rebound so I always seem to get everything twice so i've been in crapville .
I read your long post & totally agree with you. As I have so much to lose i need a WOE rather than a diet or I lose my way & give up. I'm loving JUDDD too especially on a UD Being 5 weeks in & 16lbs down it hasnt felt hard although I do have my DD moments, but an UD is never more than 24 hours away & feels manageable. Its great to have a WOE you live with & lose weight too. On any weight loss plans you do get stalls for various reasons, but with JUDDD you can tweak it to suit your situation & bodily changes. As we reduce weight our daily calorie needs reduce too so its good to keep revisiting, so counting midweek & leaving your weekend the same is a great idea. Our bodies can work against us @ times it doesnt realise that we are trying to get healther its just tries to keep us where we are, but with perseverance it gets with the program & gives up the fat, just need to keep it guessing & mix it up from time to time.

Love this post. It's all true.

When I did the various diets I've been on, its always been on my mind... Weightwatchers (how many points, I'll need to save my weeklies or starve myself all day for this!) Slimmingworld (whats in this, is it free, how many syns is in this?! I really don't want a boring baked potato and meat when the lasagne looks so nice! And you can just forget pudding!!) shake diets (awww I can't go, how am i going to get out of this one?) etc etc

All it takes is a wee shake up of your day to day arrangement. Even last minute arrangements are fine, just turn it to an UD and make tomorrow a DD. =)

 

[bajoleth]
