Iḿ frustrated because I'm at my lowest weight ever and I keep breaking my diet which was low carb, I kept eating bread and I miss smoothies and fruit. So tomorrow is my first UD then Thursday will be the DD and I have to go to the dentist so that'll help me to not eat lol

Hi, again, Majella.

I welcomed you on your other thread but wanted to add my welcome to you here too! Glad you joined us, and I know you're going to do well and benefit greatly.

This cracked me up!

How many hear could manage killing, gutting and plucking your own chicken in order to have dinner that night???

The squeamish factor comes in to play, but if you have to feed yourself like that ( be your own butcher and gardener) , I'm sure your caloric intake might go way down.

I hear rabbits are good apocalypse food so long as you have lots of extra fat, so don't go eat the cow just yet, we need her milk fat!!

and a Duck Pond...

Back when I was a hippy woman, living out in a big forest, I used to raise and butcher my own rabbits. The meat is delicious, but I quickly learned if you're going to butcher them.. don't give them names.

Sure you can. Just name them things like Pate' and Hors d' Oeuvres (everything sounds better in French)

My sister had a pet rabbit. My father used to call it hassenpfeffer. Mary thought it was cute until she learned it meant "rabbit stew" in German.

heard a documentary about a journalist turned small farmer, and teaching his kids about farm life including the butchering part. His kids had come up with some really fancy smancy names for the two pigs, I can't recall but lets say Beethoven and Bach just for the heck of it.

The Guy overheard his kids showing off the pigs to visiting relatives and they said, "This one is Beethoven and that one is Bach, but when Fall comes, This one's Ham and that one's Bacon!"

I don't know if this link will work, but there is a sort of daily "weigh in" and comments thread - WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: How are You Doing Today?

But anywhere you post, I'm sure someone will see it.

Can't wait to hear from you tomorrow! Have a good night, Joflora!

Started reading about JUDDDD on 10/17, started 10/18 and today was our weigh in and I was down 6.8 lbs. I was stunned to say the least.........but thrilled!!!

OMG, see what happened when I wasn't around?!!! WTG!!

You are doing amazingly well and really an inspiration to all of us, newbies AND oldies!!

Beeb · 10-25-2011, 05:34 PM

to ALL THE NEWBIES!! OMG, our JUDDD family is growing everyday and I'm SO

!!

Sorry I have not been around to

you guys here and I want to say I wish you all find JUDDD the WONDERFUL WOE I and many of the other JUDDD BUDDDs have found it to be.

I CAN'T imagine eating ANY OTHER WAY for the REST OF MY LIFE!!

Good to see you all here!

songbird82 · 10-25-2011, 09:49 PM

I posted my own thread earlier, but I thought I'd post here too since I'm a newbie! I am switching to JUDD from the Hcg diet, so I'm really excited! Yesterday was my first JUDD day, and I started with an Up day. Today was my first Down day, and it went well! I was slightly hungry here and there, but not too bad. My calories came to 575 today, which I plan to stay lower than that..but I wasn't as prepared food wise as I thought! My calorie breakdown should be 2000/500, so we'll see how that goes!

Anywho, I look forward to going on this JUDD journey with you all!!

Kissa · 10-26-2011, 03:51 AM

Thanks for the link Sophie, that will be my 'home' for now.

Majella · 10-26-2011, 04:41 AM

Hello I'm on my first up day and feeling good and not really too hungry because I know if I want something I can have it today or the day after tomorrow. I put a dress on today that I've not worn in 2 weeks and it's tight so that's real motivation right there!!

2muchme · 10-26-2011, 05:03 AM

Hi, everyone. I've always been 20-30 # overweight. I initially blamed it on the kids (what else?!) But now entering my 50's.....can't really blame it on the grandkids, can I?

Atkins did well for me but I never really followed any maintainence so just bounced right back up again. This time, though, thought that when I reached goal I would actually continue Atkins as my WOE. However, I think I missed my Golden Chance or whatever Atkinites call it. I plateaued almost immediately. Ate great....loved the food....never hungry.....NO Weight Loss!!

So, found LCF and just started reading. And after an additional month of no weight loss, took the plunge with JUDDD!!! Had my first DD yesterday. Started with Shakes as per JUDDD website. Managed through it but, OMG, major hunger....tons of water....early to bed!! I've been reading recipes and I think I'm going to go shopping (both physically and online!) Shirataki noodles and veggies....Oh yeah!!! Btw, happens my daughter works at Trader Joes!

You all have been so encouraging and I leave this window up on my puter all the time. I may be obsessing but I think it's a good, healthy obsession. I only have about 15 or so pounds left (baby weight from ONE child 30 years ago!) and am so glad I have found all of you.........................thank you!

addict1000 · 10-26-2011, 05:18 AM

Welcome to everyone!

I hear you 2much me about the Golden chance. I used to not believe it ...but maybe it is just that as I keep restarting LC I am getting older...but it does not work as well for weight loss!

That is why someone is literally going to have to hold a gun to my head to quit JUDDD. JUDDD may not have a golden shot...but just in case, there is no way I am not going to get this right on my first try.

I am very jealous of your secret "in" with Trader joe's! I don't even have one in the area. Sigh. I had an "in" with my younger sister when she worked at the Disney store. My daughter was always decked out head to toe in Disney fashion when she was little.

Kissa · 10-26-2011, 05:26 AM

My calorie breakdown is 500/1665 at 30%.

shirlc · 10-26-2011, 06:25 AM

I'm one who didn't think I could do JUDDD, but I've been researching on here and on the JUDDD site and have decided to give it a go. I had my first DD yesterday and managed to do 510 cals. It wasn't so bad except I tried to drink my coffee once with Coffeemate to reduce the calories and then with almond milk. Yak!!! I love my heavy cream! Everything else I ate was fine, though. And I was really surprised that I love the unsweetened almond milk by itself.

I thought I would be miserable on my DD, but actually, even though it was the first one, it wasn't bad at all!

Dottie · 10-26-2011, 06:26 AM

Shirl lol. I did coffee black for the paleo challenge and I just wasn't enjoying it, so by the time I started using almond milk, it tasted heavenly compared to black

I drank coffee black for years...but when I started low carb, I started indulging in the heavy cream. For tomorrow, I'll make my coffee weaker and use 1 T. of half and half.

julietcc · 10-26-2011, 07:18 AM

I'm going to give Judd a try starting today. I reached my goal of 115 a couple of months ago but now I'm up to 118. I don't have much to complain about but that 3 pounds are really noticeable! My thighs are pointy again. So at 30% i get 450 on DD and 1500 on up days. Today I'll have my coffee with half and half, 2 Premier Nutrition protein shakes, and my Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea I haven't tried yet. I'm nervous about my willpower for DD but excited to try this out!

I'll be reading all the threads and looking at your menu ideas for Down Days.

piratejenny · 10-26-2011, 07:29 AM

2muchme · 10-26-2011, 07:48 AM

I choked down two cups of black coffee just so I wouldn't wake up with a caffeine headache!! Probably why I went to bed at 8:30!!! Yeah - Big coffee drinker here!!! And I love it creamy!! Enjoying a cup with cream (1T) on this, my UD, as I type this! Haven't tried almond milk yet but as I said I need to do some shopping. I really thought the shakes were going to hold me but alas....NOT!! Need real food for DD.

SoHappy · 10-26-2011, 07:51 AM

Yay! Another new member of the JUDDD club. Welcome!

Reading over all the threads and discussions here is the easiest way to learn all about JUDDD quickly. Almost any question any of us could have has been answered here, and lots of interesting discussion about the various facets of this calorie restriction-calorie cycling concept discussed to, so this is an interesting place to be besides it being so dynamic with success and joy!

I enjoyed my coffee with 1 T cream this morning on my UD, too!!!

I've decided to use real food for JUDDD because I know that is something I can sustain. Can understand why shakes are better for some, though...time saving...don't have to weigh and measure, etc.

Im with you, but I'd rather eat my calories than drink them. I never felt satisfied with just shakes.
