Ten years ago I lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks. Took me 10 months on JUDDD but I have been happy and able to eat many things I could not on other plans. Slow but steady. More like 5 pounds every 6 weeks maybe.
My year anniversary was December 8 and I am in maintenance.

[tobelowcarber]

I am little late to the party. Re-starting JUDD again with 3 DD a week and 500-800 cal on DD.

Starting Weight 133.4
Goal 127

12/7/12 DD (710 cal)..... 133.4
12/8/12 UD (1640 cal).... 132.2
12/9/12 DD (517 )..........131.8
12/10/12 UD ( ) ............130.8

[Kissa]

Some very nice numbers in here. Some still fighting the good fight. But you are right Jaymar, JUDDD is teaching us that weight loss is not linear. Patience and perseverance are important.

See the 4 Rs in my siggie.

[calichris]

deal world goal: BMI less than 40 by the end of the year (225). December fun back-up goal (anniversary, Christmas, parties, travel, oh my!): maintain. Or anything in between. My plan is to make the days when I don't have events really good ones and add extra exercise.

12/1 - MD - 233.3 - challenge #1 ... DH's work Christmas dinner party on DD. I don't think the food will be special enough to change rotations, so plan is to fast until then and choose wisely.
12/2 - UD - 232.6
12/3 - DD - 233.1 - been a little loosy goosy lately ... committing to a great DD today!
12/4 - UD - 231.5
12/5 - DD - 231.5
12/6 - UD - 230.2
12/7 - DD - 231.5 - hip hop aerobics (first exercise of the month, oops )
12/8 - UD - 228.6
12/9 - PD - 231.3 - holy bounce, batman! Starting three days of potatoes only today.
12/10 - PD - 228.9 - 748 potato calories! way higher than normal DD, but pretty normal post-DD results.

[Librarygirl]

Ended Nov. at 192.8. Goal for December - 185
Dec. 1 - 193.4
Dec. 2 - 194.6
Dec. 3 - 194.6 (guess I have "officially" only lost 4.2 lbs)
Dec. 4 - 195.0
Dec. 5 - 193.4
Dec. 6 - 194.2
Dec. 7 - 193.6
Dec. 8 - 194.8
Dec. 9 - 195
Dec. 10- 195

Chris do you think the potato days are working better for you? I can't believe how fast you've been dropping. Good work! I might try a PDD tomorrow.

That sounds like no fun at all, and then to retain water ... :P At least you know once you are off the antiobiotics/alka selzer that fluid should go away.

Hopefully I'm the Chris you're talking to ...
I have noticed that the one week in the month I don't take birth control pills is the week that most of my weight comes off. It makes me wonder if I should be on them at all, but anyway ... it happens every time, then typically the rest of the month is not all that exciting. I will not keep up this pace for the whole month, not even close. I'm experimenting with three potato days to see if I can get my body to drop a couple pounds after that week instead of stalling out. It would be nice Christmas insurance. I have another two days to go so I don't know if it's doing anything yet.

So you do the PD on your UD's too? Just wondering if you eat little taters through out the day or a couple meals?

Goal for December: 233

12/1: 237.4 DD Yesterday's UD dinner didn't sit well or stay long. ugh.
12/2: 237.0 UD
12/3: 238.4 DD
12/4: 238.4 UD Didn't drink enough water yesterday
12/5: 238.4 DD (UD yesterday, which I mistook for All-You-Can-Eat-Falafel-Fest-2012, saved by last-minute water flush)

12/8: 238.2 UD
12/9: 239.4 UD TOM
12/10: 239.4 TOM SPUDDD #1

Curiosity about the Potato Hack got the better of me. No guarantees on how long I'll do this, since *sometimes* spuds do not agree with me and my IBS. One day at a time.

[Babsbabs]

December goal is to get back down to my previous maintenance range of under 150 again. My start weight is higher than I hope my true weight is as I had every flavour of chips that I like last night
12/01 DD 156.0
12/02 UD 154.8 started potato hack
12/03 DD 151.8 obviously a bit of water weight gone! ate 350 cals of potatoes/no fat. PDD (Potato Down Day)
12/04 MD 151.0 worked out to approx 800 cals of potatoes, couldn't eat to UD calories due to lack of appetite.
12/05 MD 149.2 approx 800 calories
12/06 DD 148.8 350 calories, finished 5 days of eating potatoes.
12/07 UD 148.0 UUAD with NO potatoes and a party!
12/08 DD 150.2
12/09 UD 149.6
12/10 DD 151.0

[Carly]

Ended November at 135.7
Goal for December 130.0 unless I decide to go into maintenance later in Dec.
(I'm taking the break and want the bounce to be between 138-135)

12/1- DD 138.0 ( that must have been the Chinese Food- salty!)
12/2- UD 136.3 (Yesterday was potatoe only DD)
12/3- DD 136.6
12/4- UD 136.6 (Starting maintenance break through 1/1/13)
12/5- DD 137.3
12/6- UD 135.3 (maybe it was the loss of spinal fluid )
12/7- DD 138.8 I'm still in pain from the 5th- so maybe it's inflamation?
12/8- UD 137.9
12/9- UD 136.5
12/10-DD 134.7 (TOM again! Otherwise, I love maintenance!)

[Librarygirl]

Lol, Carly. How much are you cutting your calories in order to lose? From maintenance cals, I mean.

[Carly]

I'm not cutting calories- I've been adding. For the month of December I'm doing DDs only on MWF- I'm still keeping them around 200 cal, because I just have a DD routine, but every T, TH, S & S is an UD. I don't count UDs anymore but anywhere between 1600-1950 I would think. This was going to be my long range maintenance plan, but if I prove to lose on this I will have to re-evaluate when I actually reach goal. Now it's just a bonus if I lose, but I'm not trying this month.

[Librarygirl]

Oooh, okay. I got confused, lol. I thought you were coming *out* of maintenance. NO wonder you love it! I thought you were being sarcastic.

I'm totally new at this... just got curious from all the potato hype. I tried one, isolated all-potato down day, but it seemed like people were losing better doing at least three potato days in a row, so I'm experimenting right now with three days in a row of nothing but potatoes with spices, salt, or vinegar. I'm rotating calories, but my down day yesterday was higher than usual and the one up day (today) will probably be a bit lower. I have no idea if it's doing anything for me yet, but I'll post my results Wed or Thurs in the Potato Hack thread (and you'll see the scale results here).

OMG today i started off I was going for a PDD. I had a potato lunch. I think it was probably 2 hrs later maybe a little less, I had a MAJOR crash. I dont know if anyone can relate to this. I started shaking felt really weak. I know my blood sugar dropped like mad. I had to eat just to feel better. I think Im just going to stick to my regular dd's and stick to the plan and not try other stuff. I think I just need to focus on UD DD. Now I feel like I totally screwed up my DD. Oh well onward I go.
