I'm headed to the barn soon so it will make it easier to resist the food until later tonight.

this is true, a walk would be soooo good for me. But I always forget to wear shoes for that on my work days-or bring them rather. I live only about 3-4 miles from work, so it really works out going home at lunch, and getting chores done that I have procrastinated on rather than sit in front of the TV and pig out which used to be my M.O.

I'm just sitting here thinking, maybe I'll start exercising when I get to onederland... ... not sure about that.

Anyhoo-- like JM, I"m drinking a ton today, just guzzled a liter of lemon water, and I think I should go more slowly with the next 2 (drinking too fast doesn't give you the benefits of any fluid, I think I read... better to sip consistently over time) but I got up late

Anyway, so now I'm thinking I'll make it to dinner w/out any snacking, so I'm going to see if I can change up my food:

D: 3oz chicken strips, and 3 servings (1.5c each) of coleslaw, in stirfry
2servings ff greek yogurt, 2T sf jam

total for day: 435 cal, 38g net

whatever, we shall see....

I haven't started exercising either soren. Planning on starting a walking routine with a friend, but I'm almost afraid it will make me hungrier. I've got a couple of DVD workouts, but not a big fan of those. Anyway, will have to experiment and see how I feel/

[JMBM]

My calculated DD # is 348 and today will be the first day to attempt staying in the 300 range. Trying to stick with it. Just thinking if I can just be strong and tough it out then goal will be just around the corner. I think my DD # for goal is almost 800 calories. I really think that is very doable long term.

[sorenkkg]

I know what you mean JM-- I've finally reduced from 500 (or 500+) to the calories for my range on DDs, which is more like 430-450. I know I can go up if I need to, and there is a whole range of numbers, but (hope I don't jinx it) I'm doing ok last week and this week in that DD range, good UDs, and lots of lemon water.

I do miss eating more on DDs, but that's why I'm sticking with my yummy yogurt

Exercise is 20 minutes every day for me lately, and I'm sure there's some benefit to exercising on a DD. It doesn't have to be perfection of zero-calorie fasted state. You're right about that, Library Girl.

I used to exercise only on UDs, because I was putting 45 straight minutes in and I felt like I wanted to be "fueled". Now I do 20 every day, so I seem to do as well either day. I think you figure out for yourself how you feel, and find your own way. I don't like to exercise really early in the morning, because I know I'm more flexible later in the day. So no matter what day it is, I probably have SOME food on my tummy before I exercise.

I love this Sher:

rather than sit in front of the TV and pig out which used to be my M.O.

I'm out of my yogurt. About to head to the store to restock the fridge though. I think I'm going to have that for my DD treats as well. Makes me feel like I've had dessert.

[hot-in-texas]

I'm a yogurt girl too! i get Dannon ff lite and fit vanilla, and I think it's delicious! It is 55 calories for a half cup, then I add 2/3 tablespoon of honey(soren!) for another 40 calories, and then usually I also add blueberries if I have them. One of these days I'm going to do it on an UD w/ a whole cup of yougurt and 2 tablespoons of honey, and I will be in Heaven!!

Well, doing a dd after not doing them for a few weeks is way harder than I anticipated Part of tbe problem is I didn't eat enough calories yesterday (didn't know I was coming back to JUDDD until last night). I probably should have made today an ud to get a good start but I was excited to jump back in. I'm at 620ish calories for the day and need something yet to get me through the rest of the night. Thinking of doing 2 cups of popcorn for 60 more calories. That would put me in the 40-45% range, which is the weight loss/maintenance border. I'm in maintenance but have a bit of a bounce I wanted to get rid of. To eat the popcorn, or to not eat the popcorn-such a big decision

I vote for eating the popcorn, making this a MD and doing a good UD tommorrow! Sounds like you need to fuel your body before diving into a DD. Listen to your body!

L: 5 oz turkey
D: salad with lettuce, 5 oz turkey, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, 3 HB egg whites, 1 tsp EVOO, 1 tsp mustard, 1 tbl yogurt

Just finished my DD after a crazy day....I am happy with my numbers

B; gluc pill
L; 1 slim fast shake....180 cals...2 carbs
D; i package beef jerky...160 cals....10 carbs

Great day everyone,,,keep up the good work <3

[Yennie]

Today was my first non-potato DD in a while. Liquid fasted until dinner, then had a baked potato with chicken broth (5), salt & A-1 (110) and a broiled pork chop (280) and 1 wedge of Laughing Cow French Onion Cheese (35).
This totals 430, which is 10 under the what the calculator tells me is my allotment for my DDs. Right now I'm stuffed & content...hoping for an early night so I don't have time to blow it!!

[Flutter]

267 for me today. I ended up with lots of coffee and then 3 HB eggs throughout the day. Ho hum

Congrats to all of us who made it through a successful DD! Woooo-Hooooo!

Here in California it is 8:45 p.m. and I'm ending the day at a very satisfying 476 calories!

Just made the perfect protein shake for my bedtime snack and I hope it's going to send me off to sweet dreams and good sleep later.

Have a great UD tomorrow you all!

Target - 415 calories

Dinner plans changed. I had a small bowl of beef stew and a half ounce of hot pepper jack cheese instead, but still wound up at 414 calories. Success!

Mom is also rocking her DDs, by the way! I'm doing all her calculations for the time being, but I'll be handing that over to her as soon as she's acclimated to this WOE. I showed her how to use the food scale, and she's weighing and measuring everything. So far so good!

How cool is that? You had a change of plans and stayed right where you wanted to be! It's wonderful that you're showing your mom how to JUDDD. No doubt she's thrilled to see what it is doing for you! Nothing quite like a major change in your loved one to motivate you to try something new, too.

LCG, you rock!

You have all given me some great ideas for my DD today! Thank you!!!
