3/1: 188.5
3/3: 187.5
3/5: 187.5
3/7: 187
3/9: 187
3/11: 186.5
3/13: 186.5
3/15: 189

I wish I understood what's going on. I'm either stalled, or working out (just started weight training) is causing this. I know I need to be better on my UD's, but I just lose control most of the time. Maybe I need to go back to low-carb with JUDDD, it's a lot easier to control my eating habits that way, but a lot less fun.

I thought about doing that too dee. Then I had a 2 lb loss. I think it would be faster, maybe, with LC, but the reason I am doing this WOE is because I can eat anything! Instead I'm trying to eat less on DDs and see if that makes a difference. Good luck to us!

Thanks,they had me a little worried at 1st but then I noticed everyone else was doing pretty much the same thing.I'm going to have to dig my heels in and deal with slower weight loss unless I want to eat solely LC for the rest of my life-which I dont.

I'm on day 13 of a potato hack. Speaking as someone who used to eat pounds of potato a day (back when I was swimming long distances regularly), I defy most people to eat a bag of potatoes without any fat or sugar

I thought that I adored potatoes and rice and that they would trigger over-eating which is why I've avoided them for years. On the PH, I now realise that I can eat any quantity of them, when served/prepared with fat but without that fat, both potato and rice obliterate my appetite and I currently eat fairly small quantities of both. I've no idea if people adapt the longer that they follow this and start eating a greater quantity

I'll be interested to see how you fare with the potato.

[Librarygirl]

SlowSure, I have potatoes in the fridge that are ready to eat. I plan to be away from home for most of the day, however. I'm wondering if I eat some now if I will get uncontrollable hunger before I can get back home, late this afternoon...I usually wait until after 12 pm to eat?

[shepheka]

How much have you lost since starting your hack SlowSure? What is your favorite way of eating them. Mine is baked french fries with sugar free ketchup. I also put a little red pepper and salt on them. Yummy!

[arkie1]

I need to stay accountable, so I'm going to jump in here with my weigh ins since starting on Sunday.

03/10 DD 243.4
03/11 UD 241.0
03/12 DD 240.2
03/13 UD 241.6 (HAD ON CLOTHES..USUALLY WEIGH IN "BD" SUIT)
03/14 DD 240.8
03/15 UD 240.8

3/15 Happy with progress so far..bounces don't bother me. I remember them from before!

I think we may all respond very differently but approx 5oz of cold potato wipes out my appetite - the most I've managed at one time is 200g and I wasn't hungry for several hours.

I can eat more potato if it's hot but nothing like as much as I'm accustomed to. I think we probably all respond quite differently. Would it be possible for you to bring some fat-free stock powder with you and have a mug of broth if you do experience hunger?

Before starting the potato hack, I'd been stuck on 150lbs for 5 weeks, gaining and losing 2.5lbs either side.

2 March I weighed 148.8lbs, as I usually did after my weekday DD/UD sequence, and I would usually have expected to be at 150-151lbs or so on 4 March. So, I started the PH and I'm now 143.8lbs. Now, approx. 5lbs isn't that spectacular relative to some people's losses but that's high-velocity by my standards as I'm usually likely to record a loss of about 1-2lbs in 4 weeks (if I lose at all).

For cold potato, I like vinegar, pepper, salt and fresh dill fronds. I like the sound of your fries for hot - I've been eating my hot potatoes with mustard.

I should also say that I had to add in rice as solely potato gave me a rash after a few days and I'm still experiencing gut issues (which may/not be related to the PH).

Carole you are doing great!
I found it easier to slip into the down days this time around. I don't plan on finding out that a 3rd time is the charm......

Thanks LG, and yes, good luck to us! I agree with you, one of my favorite things about JUDDD is getting to eat everything under the sun. Maybe I just need to learn control on my UD's, if that's possible

[LoCarbGal]

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 (2087) I really thought I'd hit my 100 today, but alas...
3/14 - 221.5 - DD (414) Bacon day.
3/15 - 219.0 - UD (TBD) Okay, back to 3/1 low and 1/2 pound from 100 pounds lost. Man that number is really eluding me!

I just can't keep up with all the marvelous losses and new lows here! I'm and for you all!

[alexinme]

Can I jump in??? I'm a new JUDDDer and though I've been lurking, I just decided to join you guys today (at the start of my journey). So today is UD. Coming from a failed Atkins Induction (just couldn't stick with such restricting carbs so much), but since I did it for 4 days, I am mentally prepared if I happen to spike for this reason. So happy to join you guys.

3/15 UD - 181.4 - Stairmaster/elliptical for a total of 520 calories burned

[brewstate]

February was awful but I have some new strategies and am determined to get out of the 150's. Goal 149.xx

3/1: DD 157.8
3/2: UD 155.8
3/3: DD 155.8 No bounce. First time I've stuck to my calories in a long time
3/4: UD 155.6 No reward for DD but I was soooo good!
3/5: DD 157.2 Mostly stuck to UD calories again. Will see progress soon maybe Mid month rapidly approaching though.
3/6: UD 155.4 Survived a passable DD with a potluck in the morning, a family trip to arby's, and a friend bringing over gormet cupcakes for us to eat, so all in all a WIN
3/7: DD 157.8 Skipped Breakfast, light lunch, and then dealt badly with some emotional stuff with a friend by falling head first into a huge bag of chocolate trail mix. Trying for a low low DD today
3/8: UD 156.6 Had a pretty non-existant calorie DD except for a few test bites of kid food so hope to see a drop soon.
3/9: DD 157.0 Come on!!!!
3/10: UD 153.8 New LOW!!
3/11: DD 155.8 Back to weight at beginning of month lets hope it sticks
3/12: UD 152.2 I'm a potato believer!! 500 calorie DD and 3 lb loss
3/13: DD 154.2
3/14: UD 157.0 Totally screwed up DD and just turned it into another UD Was watching 6 very young kids by myself all day (only 3 were mine!) and the stress killed me. Doing a PD today.
3/15: DD DNW Don't want to talk about it One of the 6 kids gave my kids the stomach bug also no more Potato UD's... leads to bad things for me. Onward and Downward.
