Third times a charm!!! Keeping it real!!

[Happy2be]

Thanks Amber. .

Today is a good day!!!! Beginning of 6th day on JUDDD and feeling fine. I woke up to 210.6, a .4 loss after an UD!!! I will take it. 10.6 lbs lost since getting serious and starting back on January 2. I doubt that the diets good effects have kicked in after just 6 days but I feel amazing!!! So much energy. My plans are to start doing some cardio here at home and some weight training. And still get to Zumba hopefully once a week. I would love to go more but until we get some more money I just can't fit it into the budget more than once a week. So that's the plan.

Day 7 of JUDDD... [b] 209.[\b]. I saw 207.8 the first time I got on.... Did the oh my 2nd weigh nd it was 209. I will take it, I would have been happy if it would have stayed at 207 though.
Having a bit of a lazy day today. Going to make some taco soup for lunch and roast for dinner.

Never thought of PB on pancakes, LOL Oh no!!!

[MagieDen]

Melanie you are doing awesome. How do you like counting your calories? I am reading more about JUDDD/LC and seeing how others do it. I have a hard time just counting carbs let alone calories. I must admit though through the years I have been tempted to give this a whirl and if I mess it up I could always go back to counting carbs.

Just wanted you to know that you are doing great on this WOE!

[ceecee08]

WTG Mel!! You are doing awesome on JUDDD. KUTGW.

[Jayce]

Have a great day! Looks like you're working your plan.

[Happy2be]

Amber. It's Delish. I'm not sure how far it goes for sure...but I know my grandma started it with her kids and then my mom did it and now me and the girls do it.

Magie. So far so good. At first I thought I would have the biggest problem with the counting calories but so far it hasn't been bad. If I can't find the calories I go to a tracker and look it up or search in google. Usually I can find it. I figured I would try it for a month and go from there.


CeeCee. Thanks. I'm sure trying.

Jayce. I am really liking JUDDD. Have a great day too.

[Happy2be]

Here's the plan for today.

Coffee with 2 tbsp half and half (35)
Protein shake. (160)

4 oz of roast beef (176)
2 cups of lettuce. (16)
2 tbsp of Italian dressing (60)
Maybe some cheese on salad and a green pepper. Maybe some celery at 12 calories for a whole stock.

DH decided to give it a try with me for 5 weeks. We were just talking about it yesterday and he decided. So today we are doing a DD together so we are on the same rotation. The booger gets 2792 on UD and 598 on DD but he is going to try for 500 to start.

[MagieDen]

Oh men, why do they always have the advantages when it comes to the whole weightloss thing? They loss faster, they get more calories. Good to hear he is giving JUDDD a try, makes for good company.

[ceecee08]

I am so glad he is doing this with you. That is sweet. Sucks he gets more calories tho... UUGGHH MEN! LOL

[DesertGurl]

I hope your hubbss does much better than mine!

He tried to hang with me, he really did, I'll give him that poor guy.

Your hubby is much more motivated than mine!

[AsmallerME]

Good work, Melanie!! Try to beef up your lunch calories a bit - maybe 500? That way you don't feel so rushed to get in as many at the end of your day. Add a piece of toast with the soap or some rice to the chili for example.

Oh goodness Amber I certainly hope she doesn't add "soap" to her WOE. I am sure soup would be better.

[ceecee08]

I was reading that and was like SOAP!! LOL

Have a great day Melanie.

[Happy2be]

3 weeks in and I have lost 11.6 lbs. I'm really liking the flexibility of JUDDD. .

Yesterday was a little hard. It was an up day and I had a good bit of calories still after breakfast. We went to a luncheon yesterday. I wasn't sure of the calories until I could get back home and check it out on a tracker but I made good decisions. Ended up having a good UD. DH however had a terrible UD and it ended up being an UUAD. I'm hoping he will get the hang of things and portion control or this won't work for him. I tried to caution him but he just wasn't listening.

Danielle. So far I'm not so sure. I'm glad hubby is taking a chance with me.

Amber. Thinks for the advice. I will definitely try that. . But no soap. Lol.

Magie and CeeCee. No soap here. Lol.

[Happy2be]

Seriously..... I just posted a long post and its being reviewed for some reason. I didn't swear or say anything I shouldn't be. I don't know why....so once its approved or not my post will be here.
Post is above this one. Apparently I can't mention tracker names.

[Gracie514]

Great job Melanie! JUDDD is definitely way easier than hcg that I've done before! I don't even mind my DDs anymore.

[Happy2be]

Thanks Gracie. I'm really getting the hang of it. I can see myself making healthy choices and good choices that will carry on for the rest of my life. Even it maintaining when I finally get there. .

[MagieDen]

Doing awesome Melanie! Have a nice Wednesday!

[ceecee08]

11.6 lbs is GREAT!!! KUTGW Mel!

[Jayce]

Happy Hump Day! I had a post reviewed a few weeks ago also...I forget what I referenced. I think it was a tracking site.

[ceecee08]

Yea for some reason you can't post or reference them anymore

[Happy2be]

Geez Louise.

Yesterday was a good DD. I stayed under my calories but didn't drink enough water. Today I am chugging the water. The scale didn't move this morning and I was a little disappointed.... But I got over that fast. I need to be happy for how much I has lost so far and enjoy the journey. I ran into two colleagues last night that I hadn't see in awhile and they both couldn't believe how much weight I had lost. I wore that brown print dress last night with tights boots and sweater.

I have had an ache in my upper back for the past couple days. I don't know what's wrong. If I pulled a muscle or what....but it hurts to breathe sometimes. I took some ibuprofen today hoping it will go away. Otherwise I will be going to the dr soon if it does not get better.

[MagieDen]

Hey girlie you are doing fantastic so no discouragement allowed. I do hope you are okay, please do go to the doc. if your symptoms get worse.

Have a nice Thursday Melanie.

[Happy2be]

I sure will. I don't know what's wrong with it.
