I wanted to do a potato DD today, and then said next DD (Fri), but I will be all over the place that day, on the go, so I doubt I will have time for a PDD before Sunday. Definitely doing it Sunday.

Well done to you

And thank you for all the cheerleading.

[hot-in-texas]

okay, I was happily clicking the quotation sign on everybody's post so I could congratulate you each individually, but then I realized my post would take up a whole page! Sooo, congratulations JBs on work well done!!

Started March at 126

3/11 - 123.4
3/12 - 124.1
3/13 - 122.0 HOLY COW !!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if I could do another potato day today and after seeing the drop on the scale the answer is OH YEAH! It's a little boring but totally worth it!

[DianeDelgado]

ended February @ 170.8 (I think), after doing a 3 day PH. Then I went to Portland, and really didn't measure or weigh (food and myself)
Starting with a DD today, and maybe if I go through 2 full weeks of rotations I will try the PH again. It was easy, and filling...and, I saw weight loss....I just hope it stays next time (if I end it with starting good rotations )

3/6 DD 172.0
3/7 UD 170.2 sick with a cold, but will eat my UD #'s
3/8 DD DNW still sick
3/9 UD 169.0 feeling a little better
3/10 DD 168.2
3/11 UD 168.8
3/12 DD 170.0 might just weigh after down days
3/13 UD 169.8 after going the whole day with great DD, then fell into a bag of dark choc m & m's!!

I usually do DD's at 380 calories but with potatoes it seems I can go up to the full 500-600 and not have any problems at all which is why it is so appealing to me, but YMMV, and you probably want to make sure you have JUDDD down before doing too many tweaks so as to not throw yourself off. I've been JUDDDing for almost a year now so when it stops working for me, I experiment a little

Thanks Elise!

March goal: keep up with moderate carbs and regular exercise; goal weight 213.7 (-6 from end of Feb. weight of 219.7). Added goal 3/11: weight training 2 DDs a week, some cardio on most UDs, eat all UD calories when exercising.

3/1 - DD - 221.3 - hip hop aerobics
3/2 - UD - 220.2
3/3 - DD - 220.2 - weights and 1/2 hr treadmill
3/4 - UD - 219.9
3/5 - DD - 220.5 - glow aerobics - Noticing much smaller bounces since doing the moderate carbs.
3/6 - UD - 219.9 - doing better than I ever have with calories and exercise and the sale is not doing much.
3/7 - DD - 220.5
3/8 - UD - 220.5 - getting annoyed/discouraged, even though I know better. did not count cals.
3/9 - DD - 222.1
3/10 - UD - 220.2
3/11 - DD - 222.1 - More carbs again yesterday. New plan today to hopefully break stall thanks to JB's good advice.
3/12 - UD - 219.1 - at last, a tiny movement downward. It may be only .6 in two weeks, but it's SOMETHING.
3/13 - DD - 219.8

Yes, I've lost a bit over 40 lbs. since JULY, which is still something I'm happy about but I don't want anyone to be under the impression that I've lost 10 lbs a month! (wouldn't it be great, though? )

But Kissa's point is still valid .... I have been stalled on the scale lately, but the bigger picture is that I've lost almost 55 pounds total, 43ish on JUDDD and I'm still here and happy with the plan.

I think that the "stall whisperers" Dawn and LCG (who have each lost 100 lbs thereabouts) gave me the key. I was actually eating too little for the level of exercise I was doing. I didn't think that was possible for me, but starting to eat more calories, I'm starting to break through.

3/13 - 156.4 UD ( I'm glad the bounce isn't that big but since this is after a DD, I fear, I'd be climbing the ladder up again tomorrow! P.S. The real tight jeans are becoming quiet comfortable, so not too phased!

Ended February at 219.0.
Goal for March 211.0 - 8 pounds.

3/1 - 219.0 - UD (2592) Again with the high UD (sigh)
3/2 - 220.5 - DD (409)
3/3 - DNW - UD (2687) Yes I did it again! Enough of that already!
3/4 - 221.0 - DD (413) Extra calories & looming TOM.
3/5 - 221.0 - UD (2074) Staying under 2100 today, no matter what!
3/6 - 223.0 - DD (414) TOM - bleh
3/7 - 221.5 - UD (2047) TOM - not as bleh
3/8 - 223.5 - DD (420) TOM
3/9 - 222.0 - UD (2129) So I think now I'm left with weight from adding in exercise. I'm okay with that.
3/10 - DNW - DD (416)
3/11 - 219.5 - UD (2212) Almost back to beginning of month low. Now hopefully down the rest of March!
3/12 - DNW - DD (409)
3/13 - 220.5 - UD (TBD) I really thought I'd hit my 100 today, but alas...

I'm seeing some GREAT losses, new lows, and wonderful support and cheerleading! What an awesome group you are!

3/07 - DD: 224.5
3/08 - UD: 222.5
3/09 - UD: 224.5
3/10 - MD: DNW
3/11 - DD: (Calories - 519) 226.5 Beats my January start weight, so 5:2 is gone for now.
3/12 - UD: 224.5 (Calories - 2049)
3/12 - DD: 225.0 Not bad after an UD

Congrats to all the losers!!

[Flutter]

all!

shepheka, are you doing potato UDs & DDs? Amazing loss, WTG!

I'm jealous of all you awesome potato DD girls! I tried 1 PDD and the scale wasn't kind!

LCG, ooooh but you will be celebrating soon, VERY VERY soon!

[shepheka]

I just want to thank each and every one of you for not only showing me how to finally do this but for being there and cheering me on. Those of you who are already at goal, you are so great for sticking around and helping the rest of us out.
Those of you who are still on the journey, just reading your posts and hearing you echo my thoughts and emotions gives me the strength I need to keep pushing on.
Those of you who are still lurking and haven't introduced yourselves yet (I know you are there) join us.
I lurked for about 6 months. Then I finally decided to join in and I can tell you it makes all the difference! I pop in here at least 4 or 5 times a day just to get inspired. I finally realize that with your help I can do this! I have been fighting these same 20 pounds for the last 20 years.
Wow! Who would have thought a 2 pound loss could make me so happy and emotional! I just wanted to let you all know I can't do this alone. I'm glad I don't have to.

3/7 ~ 192.2 ~ UD ~ Man, I was hoping that would be down a little more than that! Cardio boot camp workout
3/8 ~ 195.2 ~ DD ~ What a hateful weigh in the am! Hoping that's due to sore muscles and a late high sodium dinner.... Powerhouse workout
3/9 ~ 192.6 ~ UD ~ Why am I going the wrong way? I should be dropping under 190 by now? I checked to see if I'm in ketosis yet and I had a faint positive.
3/10 ~ 191.6 ~ DD ~ Well, maybe I'm going in the right direction now... Not a good DD, got into some Doritos and sour gummy worms..

14 March 143.8lbs (new low: day 12 of PH)

There are times in the day when all I want to do is tap-dance because I can't believe this is happening. 2 March, I weighed 148.8lbs and was looking ahead to seeing that bounce up above 150lbs, yet again, as it had for the preceding 5 weeks.
