New to Juddd

Rosey · 01-11-2013, 09:43 AM

Hi everyone. I am Rosey, turning 29 this year. I'm overweight. Well obese according to bmi. I weigh 200lbs and my goal weight is 130lbs. I have been yo yo dieting my whole adult life at my lowest 183 but I always manage to get back to 200.

I came across this thread today and decided to try this again. I know about fasting and have done it before and I just didn't know how to do it properly especially on the up days. Sometimes I just couldn't get down after the up day.

I will use this one thread un less I see a need to start a new one. I will be starting tomorrow with an upday then sunday will b my down day and so forth. My plan is to make a lifestyle change not just a fat loss decision and I love the 60% maintanance part. I have always thought when I don't want to lose anymore I'd like a stable plan of maintaing without gaining it all back.

Welcome Rosey & best of luck. It's a great diet & a wonderfully supportive board

Flutter · 01-11-2013, 10:09 AM

Welcome to you!!! You can do it!

Luv2Eat · 01-11-2013, 10:19 AM

Welcome Rosey! I hope you have time to go through many of the threads here for insight and inspiration. If you've done fasting, I think this will make it easier for you

I used to eat only one small meal per day and I was twenty pounds heavier. Since starting JUDDD, this would be a Down Day, and on my Up Day, I eat anything I want within my calorie limit and I'm much smaller with the extra eating

There are so many similar stories in the threads here.

I hope it works for you too

LoCarbGal · 01-11-2013, 10:58 AM

Rosey! You've found a great place for information and support. I agree with the comment about reading as many of the threads as you can. There's so much information here, and it really is inspirational and motivating to read about other peoples' successes. And it's helpful when we discuss our struggles too! Keep posting so we know how you're doing!

Welcome Rosey!!!

Rosey · 01-11-2013, 11:46 AM

Thank you so much. I have been reading for the past 5 hours. I'm sure I will continue after I put my baby to sleep. I'm so glad to b here. Already told my friend about this and she thinks its a better lifestyle change than dieting and being restricted to certain foods for the entire month

I have done intermittent fasting before funny enough I was eating 500 calories twice a week. I didn't last long. I did not have a good plan. I will also be starting a journal to track my daily journey. I'm a calorie counter and love to write so I will enjoy this jouney. Considering you all are so supportive. I already feel at home

Hi Rosy
U can do this!
It takes time, but what doesn't that's good for us?
I find if I leave wheat along on dd, the lower calorie day. I do much better with cravings.
Broth is your/our friend.
Get ready too have baggy britches! Smile

Welcome, Rosey! I was just going to suggest that you do a journal. Good for you for coming here and reading up on JUDDD. I think JUDDD is a great plan, and it gets easier over time. (I can say that in my case, and I've only been doing JUDDD for 2.5 months now.) And the people on this board couldn't be kinder or more supportive; you'll be making some lovely new friends, too. Read and post here often; I look forward to getting to know you better.

Welcome, Rosey!...I'm still kind of new here...started the end of Nov....but this has been the best thing I've ever done for my weight problem..I'm one of those people who paid a Dr over a hundred bucks a week to watch me starve on Optifast shakes...I think I've tried it all, but never before have I found a way to eat that I can live with...I can live with the Juddd plan..so I wish you the best, and I hope that it can work for you too.

Hi Rosey, and welcome to the loveliest group of kind caring people on any weight loss board.

Welcome Rosey!

You know about intermittent fasting, which is good. You know about how it takes planning to rotate. Very good. You are prepared! Jump in and join the happiest bunch of losers around!!

hot-in-texas · 01-12-2013, 06:19 PM

Hi Rosey!! I just started JUDDD too. I started yesterday on a DD and you started today on an UD, so we will have the same up and down days. I hope you will come back and post tomorrow on your DD. I will be here now that i have a tablet it is with me all of the time.:-) I will be checking your thread.
BTW, you and I have the same goal weight:-)

Librarygirl · 01-12-2013, 09:10 PM

Cool! We are on the same schedule. I had so many unplanned days during the holidays that I have now gotten on a different rotation. Tex, you, me and Flutter are on the same days now.

hot-in-texas · 01-12-2013, 09:39 PM

And we are all the same goal weight (approximately) woohoo!
Tomorrow is DD, I wonder if anyone has ever tried a candy hack on DDs??
I know people who all they eat is candy and they are toothpicks!

Rosey · 01-12-2013, 09:48 PM

Today is my first DD. I'm so nervous. I had it all planned out 2 200 calorie meals. But then we might go out tonight. So I'm thinking of reserving all my calories for dinner. We preparing for church then off to watch a musical until late afternoon. Then we might decide to eat out. Hopefully not. But I'm planning to order salad. ( lettuce cucumber n green pepper) with balsamic vinegar

Librarygirl · 01-12-2013, 09:48 PM

I don't know, but it sounds interesting. I want to try peppermint tootsie roll pops. They are 60 cals, but it seems impossible to find them. Amazon has them, I think.

Nothing seems to work for me conclusively, but not eating at all, until later in the day.

U might try to take some low cal treats in your purse, otherwise you are going to be hungry, believe me, my first day I was really hungry in the early afternoon, so that it was hard to concentrate. Maybe some sugar free gum too.

I looked up tootsie pops calories today how funny!

You got yourself a buddy. My friend has also joined me as well. I'm reluctant to tell my husband. Because he has seen me going through so many diets and failing. So I thought mayb I should wait a month. And then ill let him know.

Low cal breath mints take the edge off of hunger really well, said the smoker in the room.
