Cindy, loose pants are lovely, aren't they? You are in for a lot more of that, young lady. Hope you're up for it.

Slim Nana, congratulations on calling goal and the size 6 dress. Wow!!!

mom23kids (which I always read as "twenty-three kids" and go

) WTG on the size 8 jeans being loose! You'll be in a size 6 before we know it!

Mine for today: (actually a couple of days ago) I've had bad knees for ten or fifteen years. Had surgery on one knee to remove some damaged cartilage a couple of years ago with not much success. Then I lost all this weight, and the knees were better, but not great.

I've been much more dedicated with exercise, especially strength training (using body weight instead of weights) and my knees have improved to the point where I can bend them and go all the way down and rest on my heels and come back up without any pain. This means I can get things off the floor without kneeling down, or bending way over, I can just crouch like a normal person. I seriously have not been able to do that for so many years I cannot count. I find I am crouching down to the floor on the slightest pretext now (oh, look, a piece of paper on the floor!

) because I am so thrilled that I can do this again.

So grateful for my renewed health and vigor. A couple of years ago I was bedridden some days because of joint pain, and now, here I am! Healthy, vigorous and feeling younger than I have in years! JUDDD rocks!!!

It certainly does! That's an awesome NSV. Congratulations.

svenskamae · 01-31-2013, 03:58 PM

That's wonderful, Luna Loca!

Losing weight for appearance sake is nice, but health improvements like that are fabulous. Congratulations on using both JUDDD and exercise to make your life so much better.

Carly · 01-31-2013, 04:34 PM

Luna that is awesome!

Flutter · 01-31-2013, 05:00 PM

Oh Luna, you give me hope! My left knee is pathetic...my right a bit better. I can't do any kind of jumping for work outs and crouching is out of the question. I did it just before Christmas at my Daughter's award ceremony (trying to take a picture) and was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back up. (In front of a bunch of people!) I sure hope to get just a little relief/improved flexibility when I am at goal. I haven't been hopeful, though...until your post! HUGE congrats to you!!!!! You must be so excited!

Kismet311 · 02-01-2013, 04:12 AM

That's great Luna!!

I had 2 NSVs yesterday! The first is when my friend at work said that I like I was shrinking LOL Sounds good to me! Then, when I went into the lounge at work I saw a giant chocolate cake! It looked soooooooooo good. But yesterday was my DD before my TOPS meeting so I did not touch it! Did I mention how good it looked?

Excellent NSV!!! I too am looking forward to more flexibility. I am able to bend down better than I was, and can now lift my right foot up to put on socks and shoes.

(left was not as bad)

LoCarbGal · 02-01-2013, 09:17 AM

Luna, that's great! I can't quite do the down into a crouch and back up yet, and I want to so bad! You give me hope!

Kismet, fantastic! Getting told you're shrinking helps you to walk by that cake, doesn't it???

Cindy, wonderful! The increased flexibility, and having less stomach in the way is a wonderful feeling!

Yam-Yam · 02-01-2013, 10:45 AM

What great NSVs!

Such an inspirational thread!

Size 6? What is that??!!

Something I could never even dream of. Congrats!

Baggy size 8's sound awesome! Skipping chocolate cake that looks so good sounds impossible! Fabulous will power there.

Luna: You reminded me of something I had forgotten. When I was at my top weight, my left knee was really giving me grief. I could hardly walk up or down stairs. I had totally forgotten that because it's been over a year since I felt knee pain.

My NSV is just that I managed a 40 calorie DD yesterday. It's been a long time since I've been under 500 calories on a DD. It makes me feel kinda empowered today. Like, I can do this. I can!! I put a serving of half and half in my coffee yesterday morning and that was it. Even though I planned for a 200 calorie dinner, I was not hungry so decided to skip it. And, I slept well.

Bring on the sirtuins. I've been struggling ever since Christmas to keep the DDs low and the UDs from creeping over my 1900 limit.

Carly · 02-01-2013, 10:48 AM

Yay Yam-Yam! You can do it! You have done it!!!!

LoCarbGal · 02-01-2013, 11:52 AM

Wow Yam-Yam, a 40 calorie day?

Yay for no more knee pain!

Librarygirl · 02-01-2013, 01:27 PM

40 calorie DD!!! What?!!!

Awesome willpower!!!

Yam-Yam · 02-01-2013, 01:53 PM

I love my JUDD BUDDs!

You just reinforce me and motivate me so much! Thanks for giving me kudos. Just makes my day!

Carly: How is DW? Is she stressed out? Are you both OK?

Right now we are OK. The biopsy is over and now we wait. This is the 3rd time we are going through this. I'm very hopeful that this will also be B9.

Kismet311 · 02-01-2013, 03:09 PM

Sending good vibes, Carly!!

You guys won't believe this...I had to pass by 2 huge boxes of chocolate at work. What are these people trying to do to me!! I didn't take any since they didn't really look like my favorite kind (I love chocolate but not really into truffles) so I didn't eat one just for the sake of eating one even though it's an UD!

Kissa · 02-01-2013, 03:41 PM

Thinking of you both Carly.

Yam-Yam, that is amazing. 40cals is like negative everything!

I've been through biopsies myself and I can relate to the stress you will feel until the results come back. Just know we are all thinking of you with big

hugs!

I probably would have caved. See? you are getting so selective and picky!

That seems to be one of the good side effects of JUDD (most of the time

TryingJudd · 02-01-2013, 06:26 PM

I passed on both bagels and soft pretzels at work today. For a bread addict I consider it a victory.

Carly · 02-01-2013, 06:35 PM

The pain is catching up to her now and she's

I hope she falls asleep soon.

Flutter · 02-01-2013, 06:39 PM

It's UD here and I skipped breakfast, had a lower calorie subway lunch then pizza with the family out. Came home, plugged it all in and was 400+ calories short still. Boo for me, I can have more chocolate tonight!

At this rate, I may grow to be able to skip desserts like you, kismet! Dare I hope chocolate will be medicinal. (oh noooo, I'm short on calories and need to have chocolate again!)

TJ, oooh, good for you!!!

Carly, been thining of you & DW all day.

Flutter · 02-01-2013, 06:39 PM

Awww, carly, I'm sorry! Poor DW.

Librarygirl · 02-01-2013, 06:41 PM

Awww, Carly. I so hope everything is well with DW.

My NSV is that I am not snoring as much.

BF announced that he hasn't noticed me snoring lately. That is a huge deal, as I have always had a problem with it and caused anyone who tried to sleep with or near me, problems sleeping, lol.

Flutter · 02-01-2013, 06:44 PM

That's awesome, LG! I am sure my DH wishes I'd magically stop snoring, too. Sheesh, now I want to get to goal so I stop snoring and bend my knees again! Thanks guys! LOL!
