It could be the imbibing.

However, I won't kick any of you out of bed in the morning!!!!

Kissa · 01-13-2013, 03:18 PM

I think this is what they call a mutual admiration society.

Librarygirl · 01-13-2013, 04:24 PM

Boy, I was trying to be witty last night, LOL. I forgot I wrote that.

The love is all true though.

Mutual admiration indeed, Cindy!

I have 2 NSV to mention, the first is that I actually made it through 2 whole down days. I had thought there was nothing that could help me lose the weight and also was sure, was POSITIVE that I didn't have will power. But I have proved to myself that I do have will power, and I am capable, THAT in itself is so life changing to me, you have no idea. And being able to come here and vent and blabber my thoughts out here on this forum has been the best GIFT to me. You ladies are WONDERFUL!
Now I forgot the second NSV lol.
Oh yeah, I have a waist!!!
Thank you ladies so much for being here, you are wonderful!

Congratulations, Hot on both of your NSV's!! Keep up the good work!!

Hot....isn't it wonderful how doable this is? Love it soooo much!

So happy for you.

Librarygirl · 01-14-2013, 06:23 PM

Awesome NSV, Tex!!! You're doing great!

LoCarbGal · 01-15-2013, 09:39 AM

Got a little one today. I've been losing so well for the past week, and I knew it wouldn't continue at that rate. But this morning I was up 1.5 pounds. I did an hour of Callanetics yesterday, and I really pushed to work it hard. I must have, because I'm a bit sore again today, so I really do think it may be the effects of that. But still, it doesn't make it any easier to be back in an old decade. Anyway....

...so this morning, since I was a little perterbed with the scale, I tried on my size 20 jeans that wouldn't even button last week. They pulled on, buttoned and zipped! They're snug, but I could wear them no problem. I think just sitting in them for a bit would stretch them enough to be comfy! So Callanetics, you may make the scale number go up, but you make the clothing size go down!

hot-in-texas · 01-15-2013, 09:44 AM

Way to go LCB, that is so so awesome!!!

Shari4 · 01-15-2013, 09:55 AM

Good for you, LCG!!!

I love it when I smaller size fits!!

My NSV isn't really MINE; but, belongs to my DH!! He decided to start JUDDD after getting on the scales Sunday & he weighed 8 pounds more than he thought he did!!

So, Sunday was his first UD, yesterday he made it thru his first UD! This morning he showed a 3.4 loss on the scales!!(I peeked!

) I am SOOOOOO excited for him!

He was gone by the time I woke up this morning. I can't wait to see how he feels about his weight loss!!

LoCarbGal · 01-15-2013, 10:01 AM

That's so great Shari! That'll surely be great motivation for him to keep it up!

I have some more non-scale victories! I think my eyes and skin look brighter. I don't know if I'm just imagining it, and no one has commented but I just feel this way when I look in the mirror.
And more importantly, I learned something about my past WOE. Yesterday was an UD, and my calories were about 1850. Since I had not been counting calories before I started JUDD, I had no idea how many calories I was eating. So yesterday, as I counted my calories and took note of my portions, and food, I realized I would typically have eaten DOUBLE what I ate yesterday, and most likely more. On a TYPICAL day, I would have been eating between 3600 and 4000 calories. That is awful, but I count it as an eye openener, and a victory in self discovery. And change.

I can really identify with you on this!

I think I was doing the very same thing before trying to lose. I just ate what I wanted and then some more. Every day. No wonder I got so big.

I noticed brighter eyes after several weeks too! I just saw in the mirror one day that the whites just looked really white. No one has ever mentioned it to me either, but I see it. It may be one of those things that people don't specifically notice, but makes you just look younger, better rested, etc. Congrats!

YES!! I have been guestimating my UD calories for the most part, or I would stop counting when it looked like I wasn't going to fit it within the restrictions, lol. Yesterday I counted everything, and although I went over by 218 calories, I know I ate less than my usual UD. Counting UD's and doing 20% DD's should be the ticket to losing!!

Luna Loca · 01-15-2013, 12:24 PM

It IS really eye-opening when we first start counting. I had the same experience.

Congrats on the bright eyes! And the jeans that fit, that NSV never gets old for me. Callanetics is wonderful for that, I'm glad you're seeing such improvements!

Luv2Eat · 01-15-2013, 12:43 PM

My eyes are opened every UD, I think, lol! I try to log every bite and it really adds up fast.

Librarygirl · 01-15-2013, 01:43 PM

Went back to the calculator and found out I had only exceeded my UD cals by 146.

Now, if only DD was so easy!!

angie1 · 01-15-2013, 02:08 PM

So after gaining most of my weight back from an "Extended holiday" of eating everything in sight and quitting any weight loss attempt.

This morning I woke up and truly missed JBs and this WOE!! Its a huge victory for me to be back here (usually I just give up from being to embarrassed to admit I haven't been on plan) .

All thanks to my JUDDD budds!! Thank youuu for being so supportive
