Yes, the adventure of maintenance.... Ahhh, let the adventures begin!

hockey_gal · 11-02-2011, 09:33 PM

Congrats!! That was pretty fast

Keep up the good work. I also have been told I have PCOS - tho I only have one symptom (my bloodwork). I also have issues w/my skin and hormones tho. I also have the feet thing too. Strange. Wonder if that is it?

Anyway, glad your problems got better with JUDDD!!! That sounds even better than the weight loss.

I don't think the researchers even know the "why" behind the health benefits that fasting will give us, only that it's something that seems protective against a lot of ills and it makes our bodies work more normally. I will not be surprised at all to read somewhere down the road that you feel strongly that JUDDD has given you a lot of benefit in the areas you are concerned about. Plus weight loss too, of course.

Thanks, Hockey Gal!

The skin and hormones issue all ties together with PCOS and IR and all that. I think you'll see improvements in your symptoms too

Keep us updated how things are going!

sophiethecat · 11-11-2011, 06:23 AM

I decided to get down to 142# before Thanksgiving as an "insurance policy" against the upcoming holiday eating (I'm sure there will be UDs over the next month and a half that are up, UP, and away!!)

After the New Year, I will let my weight stay in the 142 - 147 range, which was pretty much my normal since high school. So after the new year, I may try out a schedule like DD on M-W-F and all the other days UD (Sat & Sun both UD). Or I may stick to the schedule I have but stop counting calories on my UD and monitor the scales. Just have to wait and see....

Sandelio · 11-11-2011, 06:46 AM

Congrats Sophie!

To be able to enjoy the holidays.........what a concept?!?!?!?

pjsam1156 · 11-11-2011, 07:58 AM

Sophie--a HUGE WHOOOOO HOOOO to you

I can't thank you enough for all the info you posted. I lost 4.5 lbs. the first week, but then I, too, obviously went over on two weeks' worth of UDs, and didn't lose anything else. But then I read everything I could get my hands on, including all of Pat and Beeb's wisdom.

So, I found my numbers and just started tracking my UDs yesterday. I have 30 lbs. to lose, so it will be awhile, but you give me so much hope that this will work if I do it correctly.

SoHappy · 11-11-2011, 01:22 PM

You know I'm proud of you, Little Girl!

Woo Hoo!

Smart idea to be at the low end for the start of the Holiday Season! That will give you some wiggle room.

Congrats!

Yes and we actually have 2 different days of T-giving eating this month!

One at my Gma's next Sat., and one at in-law's on T-giving.

Hi PJ, so glad you found something in my post to help you. That's what I want, is for others to enjoy the benefits of JUDDD too!

Once you know your calorie limits, you have the knowledge you need to lose when you want, maintain when you want, and know what will cause you to gain! I started out right, but not too many days in I started eating hundreds and hundreds of calories over my limit!

So I gained. But once I figured out I need 1100 - 1200 calorie averages between my UD/DD, I was golden!

If I eat under 1200 average those two days, the weight melts.

Anyway, I'm hoping that in time I can be a bit looser with the numbers (have Free UD for example) and maybe my body will tolerate higher calories without gain like Pat has enabled hers to do!

I look forward to seeing your progress reports as you work JUDDD and lose, PJ

Ah, thank you, Pat!

I appreciate all the wise words and help you've given since I started. Just a month ago - seems like longer!

Yeah I thought if I lose a few pounds I give myself some space to eat more on holiday occasions in the next month and a half. As long as I stay around my goal weight, I'm happy.
