My name is Holly. I am a married mother of a grown son and a young teen daughter. I have been overweight most of my life, and I have tried several diets. Some with success, and some not. This one seems very promising to me, and I am very optimistic.

I am looking forward to becoming thin and healthy with all of you. Thank you for having me.

I started my weight loss odyssey over a year ago with a good friend of mine. She haunts this site too, not sure if she has actually joined. We were two peas in a pod, had tried just about any and every diet out there only to come up heavier. We started out with low carbing it and had some success. Last summer we parted diet ways, I had read Wheat Belly and wanted to go that route, she went JUDDD. She wanted me to do it with her, I was too scared. Fast forward to this year, she has blown past me in weight loss (GO her!!!) and I had plateaued.

I spent the weekend here reading up on JUDDD, preparing myself, then unofficially officially started Monday. Yesterday was my 2nd DD and man it was tough!!! I came on here to read and figured I needed to join!

Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to give a brief bio. Still learning diet abbreviations so forgive my ignorance at times. I am trying to learn as I go, you all are so great with each other!!

to both of you! I hope you love JUDDDing as much as I do!

Hamsteak, Taghag, Shelly S and HollyAnne, and also any that I've missed or those that haven't introduced themselves quite yet. We're so glad that you are here and giving JUDDD a try. I am still a relative newbie here myself, and I can honestly tell you that having the support and information from the veterans of this thread makes and enormous difference in one's ability to succeed with this plan. Be sure to take note of how many we have here that have already attained or are close to their goal, and they are still here, cheering us on, answering questions, providing tips. You are going to love this place!

Hello Everyone! I am new here and going back to the JUDDD. I am not doing Low Carb but found this forum and so happy that there are so many other people doing this diet so that's great! ^__^ I have done this diet in the past and lost a few pounds but ended up failing by getting off track, it will be different. I haven't really been tracking any calories this weekend because its the Up days :-) But starting on Monday, I will start my down day. BTW, my name is Giovanni everyone! I am really excited to start and get my weight down!

taghag · 03-10-2013, 06:06 AM

Hello, glad you joined! Everyone here is so helpful and friendly!

jaymar · 03-10-2013, 06:15 AM

Welcome, everyone..I think you will find this to be a wonderful and helpful place to get good information and support..I think I have done every weight loss known to man or woman..you're able to see a lot of people having success and that will keep you encouraged, so I wish you good luck and hope you will give it a good chance to see what it will do for you...If you're looking for something with proven success, look around here and you will see it...you will also see that the people here really want to see others have success too,.

Carly · 03-10-2013, 08:49 AM

Giovanni! This is a great group with tons of support.

sloppail · 03-10-2013, 10:11 AM

Hi everyone!! I am not new to the low carb board but I am new to this area...I bought the book by Dr Johnson and read it...made a lot of sense, it is something I want to try to do...I tried it in June of last year but wasnt really commited and didnt continue with it for more than 4 days...:P, so...here I am starting my DD today, I think this strategy is a good way to live...I like the simplicity of DDs...we will see how I do. I am commiting to the 2 week induction starting today. I am 43 years old, 5' 3", I dont have a lot to lose...10-15 pounds will put me in the middle range of my BMI, I just want a lifestyle I can follow for life. My DD will be 500, my UD is around 1650...I know I dont have to eat to 1650 but its nice to know the cals are there...

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say I will be around for a long time

taghag, HollyAnne, hamsteak, Evie, Kim,

Missouri_Librarian · 03-10-2013, 02:35 PM

This is an amazing group,,,They are so helpful and full of wisdom, advice and inspiration......even when you have a TON of questions and issues to throw out like I have...so glad your here

Potaty · 03-10-2013, 10:15 PM

I have posted on the Newbie thread but thought I would stop here to formally introduce myself.

My name is Katy. I have 3 kiddos aged 1, 3 & 5 and I stay home with them. I was making great progress on HCG in 2011, had gone from 220 down to 165 but then I got pregnant with the little guy in my avatar. I gained 60 lbs while pregnant and was pretty much back to square one. He is now 1 and I am still nursing him. I think JUDDD will be a great fit for all I have going on right now, I am used to the calorie restriction from HCG (my most recent round was in Dec) and plan to keep most of my choices lower in carbs as I have some serious portion control problems when sweets are involved.

I have lost and gained the same 20 lbs since having Austen about 5 times now. I can't seem to break into the 180s without sabotaging my efforts and binge eating. For that reason, I will only be weighing on Sunday or Monday, whichever day falls after a DD for that week. I have also been really struggling with inflammation that started toward the end of my pregnancy. I read Dr. J's book and am encouraged at the impact JUDDD seems to have on reducing inflammation.

Kissa · 03-11-2013, 04:17 AM

Sounds to me as if JUDDD is just the plan for you Katy. What a busy life you have with 3 little ones. But nice busy. Good to have you with us.

+1 to this, the level of support and encouragement is remarkable and very generous of those veterans.

Today starts Week 8 on JUDD and I've lost 17 lbs but I have officially stalled and don't know what to do. My stall started on week 6! I have not gained weight but it's hard not seeing the weight loss on the scale. If anyone has any pointers please let me know. Thanks!

Can you start a thread and give us more details- like you calorie numbers, food choices, exercise, etc...

Too much for this thread and I know the JBs will want to chime in.
