tired...

hello everyone...

I'm here for my "once in a month complaining bout JUDDD" ...

I love JUDDD, it's easy, it's efective (hmm, at least, in the beginning) but I'm tired of DDs ... As I only have 2 more kilos to drop the scale moves at snail pace and therefore it's hard to mentally commit to strict DDs for a 2lbs a month weigh loss...
At the same time it kinda scares me for the "after". Now with proper UD/DD calories i'm more maintaining that losing... so what it's gonna be afterward ? I'm scared of a terrible rebound as soon as I up my calories. not cool !!!

Anyway, in order to get the scale moving again I'm trying 2 things starting today :
1 - cut off rice cakes ! I think I developped an addiction to those ! and they're salty... can't be good to eat 8 pieces a day.
2 - avoid sugar. I don't LC, I eat absolutely normaly on UD but maybe a less sugary stuff could help.
I'm gonna try to eat my calories more wisely...

let's see how it all works... in april i only lost 2 pounds, with only 1 MD and 1 far far and beyond day... may HAS to be better ! summer is coming and I still don't have my dream swimsuit !!

ps : I do secretly hope that complaining will call the whoosh fairy my way and unlock the situation

2kg is only around 5lbs, isn't it? It wouldn't really matter what diet you're doing at that point, it would be slow I suspect (although I've never quite come that close to goal myself so how would I know!)

Are you not feeling any of the other benefits everyone is talking about?

LOL Annie!! or Agnes (can't do the accents - or more accurately can't remember how!!)

I wonder if - you perhaps you look at this long term - say that by the end of this year you would like the last 2kg (5lbs) to have gone. Up Your DD slightly a couple of times a week - when necessary (to 700 - 750), perhaps almost treat yourself like you are in maintenance.

Have you read Yam Yam's post re your weight loss catching up with you - how it takes x amount of days for your body to catch up with every lb of weight you have lost.

In all likelihood - you're just catching up with your weight loss. I had very slow weight loss for a month or so - it's picking up again now!!
