WEIGHT MANAGEMENT: How are You Doing Today? (Part 2)

[Yam-Yam]

Shelley and Laurie: You two have done great! Wowzers. Look at you!

Sophiecat: Thanks for the

[MintQ8]

Yam Yam - great info and explanation!!

AtkinsGoddess - I bet that number drops again after a good DD!

[Scotty]

WWC I rarely eat junk-virtually no processed foods. I think you are right, though and will work very hard to keep the cals down. As a matter of fact, as of now-7:00pm, I have finished a nice meat loaf and brussels sprouts dinner, and am only at 1358. May try having a snack before bed so I won't be hungry in the morning-good idea?

Planning on only coffee w/FF halfnhalf in the morning, then a piece of chicken for lunch, dinner ditto.

what do you think?

Another party this weekend, though.....but it's on an UD, and I will keep the booze to a minimum if possible...

Thanks, all for the help.

139# today.

I never used to maintain this low this consistently in my adult life unless it was due to a medication or stress or purposely *working* to do it. But now I can't seem to gain if I wanted to, lol. I mean I eat mostly FDs each week, so how can this be? (It's that old JUDDD magic, lol) Not bragging here, just amazed and hoping to encourage future maintainers too!

Working on my UD numbers. I've actually gone over on a couple of them. Yesterday was better. I want to stay 1500-1600. DD today though. Might see if I can do 400 instead of 500, just because. LOL

So, can you tell when the sirt-1 gets turned on? I mean, do you feel any different? Just wondering.

Sophie--it is totally inspiring, so please keep sharing. I am hoping to be there very soon.

The main thing I noticed was that my appetite became a great deal more moderate. Many report some appetite suppression from eating very low carb, but that never happened for me. But the JUDDD way of alternating high and low calorie days made it happen. So don't know if the appetite suppression was from the gene or not. Fasting is known to suppress appetite, but don't know if this is what is happening.

For me, I noticed a difference 2 to 3 weeks in. It started with the DDs, about 15 hours into it, I began to notice my sinuses felt clear and I could breathe easier, my mind seemed clearer, I was alert, my senses or focus seemed sharper, a pleasant body sensation. I began to not need allergy medicine on DD anymore because I no longer had allergies on those days. I still needed the medicine on UDs though. After maybe another 2 - 3 weeks, I realized I no longer needed it on UDs either.

You can make this as bread by greasing a loaf pan with coconut or olive oil and baking for 40-45 minutes.

i'm going too try a tweak of this recipe. later this afternoon, i'm going to try:

3/4 c canned pumpkin, instead of bananas
4oz cream cheese instead of oil
xylitol/ezsweets instead of honey

along with my "flour" tweaks of: 1/2 c oat flour, 3/4 c almond flour, 3/4c carbquick

I posted this in the "newbie section" as well...

Good morning! I have been reading all of your posts and would love to join you on JUDDD. I actually stated on Friday 20th and so far I love this plan. I will update my weight loss on Friday's.

I am 59 and have two adorable grandsons that my world revolves around. I share a home with my sister (for the past 4 years) and I am a legal assistant in Austin, Texas.

Here is how I am doing so far: Please correct me on anything I might be doing wrong beause I really do want to do this right. Like many, I have tried everything!

I am starting with:

DD 500
UD 2,128
MD 1,200

DD Friday 1/20/12 262 (Starting Weight)
UD Saturday 1/21 258.6
MD Sunday 1/22 258
DD Monday 1/23 258
UD Tuesday 1/24 255.6

Thanks everyone!
Barb

[kris4chloe]

congrats to everyone on their losses and milestones.

I have ramped up my exercise and working with a trainer. going to try her diet she recommended but adjust it so that i can still JUDDD, it is primarily low carb and low salt. I plan on following it just to see what it can do as far as muscle definition etc but will allow myself one UD off of plan, because I know I wouldn't be able to do it long term.

As of this morning I am at 190.2 which is a 1.2 increase from yesterday, but considering I had a very high UD and ate alot of yummy goodness I am ok with it. I know today's DD will take it right off.

[theredhead]

Wow, Barb! You're already knocking those pounds off!

to a fellow Texan.

I know what you mean about those precious grankids making the world go around. Here's the baby girl that hung the moon for me:

[Kissa]

Hi barb, good to see you here.

124 today after yesterday's good DD.

Enjoying my UD, I don't count calories on UDs any more, so I should call them FDs I guess.

Anyway, Zumba this morning, followed by a soya flat white and a bacon roll. Spring cleaning the kitchen this afternoon, 1/8 of a quiche and a banana. Just had a cup of tea and a cookie. Tonight I am preparing beef stroganoff with rice and green beans, a neighbour is joining us and we will be enjoying some nice wines and cheese too.

[Yam-Yam]

Barb: by your numbers, it looks like this is working for you!

[Yam-Yam]

After a seriously delicious UD yesterday the scale only went up .8 this morning. I'm considering this to be a good thing! Now if I can have a great DD today I'm crossing my fingers for a good drop tomorrow. Need to get out of this 5 pound window or set point I'm in. Interesting that for the first few weeks the daily bounces were HUGE. Usually up and down 4 pounds. Sometimes even a 5 or 5.5 pound change in one day. This past week it has been less and less of a bounce. Sometimes only .2 or .8 but never more than 2 pounds.

Yesterday: 198.8 after DD
Today: 199.6 after UD

[SoHappy]

Glad to have you join us, Barb! You're off to a great start, and I expect you'll see a whole lot more weight loss as these next weeks come and go.

[Barbheather]

Thank you so much Pat. I have learned so much from reading your post! I am really excited about doing this.

[Barbheather]

Thank you Laurie!!

I have everything crossed for you Yam Yam.

[Yam-Yam]

Thanks, Cindy! Your dinner tonight sounds great. Enjoy!

[betty301]

I trust that I will eat what my body needs as long as I lay off the carbs I don't think NOT counting cals on UDs will be an issue for me. Although if I stall then I certainly will.

And for everyone having 'weight,' issues may I make a suggestion?
DOn't weigh yourself!!! lol

Or maybe just once a week.

[KeirasMom]

The scale has not moved even 1 ounce in the last 3 days. I'm so close to my first goal, but I just can't get there. This is with 2 DDs and 1 UD and still absolutely NO movement. Grrr.

I averaged weight loss over the last week and have lost 1.4 lbs. I've been averaging around 3 lbs./week, which I know is unrealistic long-term, but darn I was enjoying the honeymoon.

I'm wondering if 250 is one of my "set-points." I usually get to this weight, then stall or quit or whatever. 3 days does not make a stall, and I'm nowhere near throwing in the towel, but I'd sure like to see 249.

I think I'm beginning to remember why I don't usually weigh every day.

I will be happy with my 1.4 lbs for the last week and trust in this WOE. I sure do love the plan and everyone here. Thanks for letting me vent.

I think you will be seeing it shortly. It's just around the corner!

Just keep truly doing JUDDD, counting your calories, respecting your calorie numbers, and that scale will be showing you 249 and lower than that very shortly! Woo Hoo!

How will you detect a stall if you don't weigh yourself?

I have to weigh. If I don't, I could be up quite a few (many) pounds before I'd even be aware that something wasn't working worth a darn at the present!

My scale is my very good friend. LOL

I sooooooo agree with this! It's so easy to be in denial when I'm not weighing every day. But it's amazing how just stepping on that scale every morning and then writing down the number in my journal and on my weight chart keeps me on the right track.

I think she meant the people who have been posting and are frustrated with the daily "bounces". Some people can get discouraged if they weigh after an UD and actuallly see the weight increase. For those people, it may be best to just weigh once a week after a DD.

[Scotty]

Into another DD-so far, at 4:00, 248 cals.

A bit head achey, and planning on some coffee-high test-with FF halfnhalf. Am trying to stay close to my allotted amount-345-but if I have to I will go up a bit.

I will weigh tomorrow and hope that the scale has gone back down-as of yesterday I was net UP .4 pound since my start on 1/13....

Hoping to stay on the straight and narrow, but another party this Friday. Luckily, it's an UD...

Good evening everyone!
I love reading how wonderful everyone is doing. This woe it's so getting. Many job provided breakfast this morning and its always carbs. It was the first time I have ever been able to participate. I had half a cinnamon roll, a cream cheese kolache and a sausage kolache! They were awesome and didn't cause cravings and didn't make me crazy hungry. I didn't eat anything until about 1230. I'm loving this. Im a little scared to get on the scale in the morning but I will and then I will have wonderful DD.
I love this woe! I love it!
