Kitty Kicks Butt 32lbs gone forever.

Haven't eaten yet today but will do shortly. I have just cleaned out my wardrobe and put all the fat clothes at the back of the attic (just can't bring myself to chuck them, not yet anyway) I am delighted to report that the vast majority of my clothes are now a size 14 :) Bear in mind though I am tall and carry weight well if you know what I mean. Still a long way to go!!
 
Non scale victorys are the best, I have many black bags of clothes to slim my way into, half if them with tags on
 
Hi Kitty, just been reading through your diary. I'm doing Exante at the moment but starting to find it hard going and I'm cheating virtually every day with some ham or cheese and then, about twice a week, I have something more substantial, like an omelette with all the trimmings. Am mainly managing to stay low carb but am starting to think I'd rather be doing JUDDD and trying to stick to between 1200-1500 cals on my up days. I see you've lost about half a stone a month with JUDDD. Is this about average? I was hoping to do between 8-10lbs a month. How have you found it and what have you found to be the main pitfalls? Any insider knowledge would be much appreciated. Hope your weigh-in goes well tomorrow.
 
Hi Cate. This is the easiest way of eating I have found so far. Having said that, I find the down days easier than the up, I know a lot of people agree. I tend to get a little carried away with my up days and go a bit mad and that can scupper things a bit. I do think this way of eating would be the most sustainable for me long term. Good luck whatever you decide.
 
Thanks for responding Kitty. I was having a bit of a meltdown earlier but have eaten a salad and am over it now. Food gets me so emotional sometimes! Anyway, have decided to try and stick with VLCDing for the time being but have a low carb evening meal if I need to and just accept that fact. I might not have as great losses but allowing myself this flexibility will hopefully keep me on track. But I will be looking at JUDDD further down the line, maybe once I hit 13st, to lose the rest and then go on to 5:2 to maintain.
 
So I've been messing around for far too long and the gain in the morning will show me just how much. I think this all started when I went 5:2 a few weeks back so the plan is to do strict every other day for just ONE WEEK starting tomorrow and we'll see what the scales then tell me next week. Hopefully that will then spur me on for the next week. I am also going to hold back on the exercise this week as I am having some problems with my knees and back so I'll take it easy that way and hope it doesn't hurt the scales too much.
 
I'm going to have a small change of plan this week and it might go horribly wrong but it might not and I have to try it to see. It strikes me that I did very well at this at the beginning and it has only gone slightly off piste the past few weeks. From what I remember I didn't count UDs at all at the beginning, just ate what I wanted. Then I got all bogged down with counting again and perhaps psychologically a little bit of a feeling of deprivation crept in again?? That is what I loved about this plan, no deprivation but once I started counting I did feel like I was having to do without..... Anyway, this week I will be having strict 500 cal DDs and uncounted UDs (eek!!) I will track what I have eaten after that fact, just so I can look back and see what I was doing. Weigh in this week will be Saturday and we'll see what that shows.

Can I stay off the scales until then???? No, probably not but I'm going to try.
 
Gulp!!! That's brave I'd never dare do that or be able to stay off the scales but I'm sure you can do it xx
 
It's very hard to eat without guilt!! Not that I have overeaten, just eaten how "normal" people would. Difficult though! Hoping this works for me but if not it's back to basics next week.
