Zip's JUDDD journey~

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's up day went well. I have a good plan for today's dd. I did probably eat a little over my calories yesterday but not by much. I had burger/fries (GF bun too) and then ice cream. It was all good and now my sweet tooth is satisfied! Today will be a good DD! My tummy is growling but I will start with a lot of water and hold off on breakfast till 9:30! (or at least 9)

[zipp2play]

Today's DD has been pretty good. Day is almost done at work and I am getting the hungry's. I am heading to KC to meet my Daughter's friends Mom 1/2 way, will probably get a pop somewhere to tide over the tummy till dinner time!

[zipp2play]

Well yesterday's dd was really good calorie wise. I stayed right at 560c. That's good for me. The scale, well it wasn't so kind today. I was up 1.4 from last week. I struggled on Monday, not sure that is what did it or what. Next week will be better, I will make SURE of it! No reason to get all mad, that would only make things worse!

Today's up day is going good. Lunch is done and for dinner we are having pork chops...with ????? Not sure.

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's UP DAY was SPOT ON! I counted everything and ate only what I knew calorie wise! 1932c is what I got in.

DS is starting JUDDD today with his first official Down day. We decided a good rotation for him would be 1000/2500. He is 5'8" and weighs 199 pounds. I have told him that he is fine the way he is but that if losing a few pounds is what he wants, WE will help him get there. HE is actually very excited about it. He loves numbers so playing around with calories and recipes he is actually enjoying. He researched the internet yesterday for low calorie recipe options! I also told him this was up to him, I would not question what he was eating or get onto him!

It's FRIDAY! Next week rotation is my FAVE, UP DAY on MWF! WOOHOO!

[zipp2play]

OH forgot to mention, although the scale was UP yesterday, today I am wearing a pair of capri's that are size 10! Before starting JUDDD I couldn't get them up on my hips and now they fit me perfectly. NOT SNUG at all! Now that I LOVE!

[dee]

When I was on HCG, every week I tried on a pair of pants that was too small. When they eventually fit me it had not been a great "scale" day so I ended up being very happy

[zipp2play]

DEE - thank you so much for that information! This weekend I wore another pair of pants that I could not wear just a month ago...and they were a bit baggy! You are so right, the scale shouldn't be my only gauge!

[zipp2play]

This weekend was good foodwise and otherwise! Friday night DD went well. I just ate mushrooms for dinner, then NOTHING Else! Saturday UD was really good, maybe a 100 or so over. Yesterday's DD ended up around 680. We met my parents at the airport and then went out to dinner. I had only eaten cottage cheese and tomato, so I have extra calories. I had a cobb salad and ATE IT ALL! It was really good!

[zipp2play]

This week will be tough as it is VBS each nigh. Planning/cooking will be tough, but we will make it work! We set up all weekend, or we would have normally made up food to get us through the week! love VBS!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday Up day went well. I think I came in a little over on my calories. NOT BAD though. Today hoping for a really good DD. Tomorrow is weigh in day. After last week, I would like to get back down to my signature weight IF NOT LOWER!

The upside, I am wearing a pair of size 10 shorts! WOOHOO! I couldn't wear these just a month or so ago. LOVE THAT! Hoping by end of summer, I can shop for some summer stuff for next year and our cruise at the end of the year! I need a new swimming suit badly!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday was a great DD! I survived and didn't feel like I could eat the desk! That is always a plus. Today was weigh in day for the week. I was down 3 pounds (if you count my 1.4 bounce up from last week I was down 4.4). I was very pleased! Almost to a new decade. 170.8 DH weighed in at 203 which was a 3 pound loss for me. Total of 16.6 for me and DH is down a staggering 31 pounds. We both LOVE JUDDD. So far my son is doing well. He weighs in on Sunday's so I won't know his progress till then. We are not discussing with him what he eats and such, he gets to plan and document it all on his won. He seems very pleased with the plan!

Up day today! YEAH!

[RDBhan]

Great work! 160's here you come!

[zipp2play]

Thanks RD, I sure hope that happens at my next weigh in. It is frustrating seeing DH chug along losing GREAT each week and me just a little here and there. That's LIFE!

Yesterday's up day was good. WE had something different for dinner, which was nice. We all enjoyed it. Today, DD, so we will be eating the minimum! Including HAVEN!

[zipp2play]

Today I could eat my desk if I thought I could chew it! For now, I will just plan/dream on what I will be eating tomorrow.......I think it's the heat. Sitting here in the cool, just makes me want to eat

[zipp2play]

Had a great eating weekend. DD was Saturday and it was spot on. We were out in the heat most of the day due to softball and that totally takes my appetite away. Yesterday was out in the heat too. I ate a big breakfast and then a big dinner. Just had fruit and deli meat in between! OH and I had frozen yogurt with my daughter. They lost the championship game yesterday, but being #2 isn't horrible either!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's DD was a bit of a struggle. I was constantly hungry! I survived. Got in 515c so right on spot. I filled up on tomatoes and veggies! Today will be a good up day!

[zipp2play]

I forgot to mention, I went swim suit shopping last night.....it was NOT PRETTY! OH to have almost 17 pounds gone and yet there is stuff hanging over, pudging OUT everywhere!!!!!!! I did find a fabulous dress for our cruise. It tends to HOLD the BULGES in! I also got a swimming suit. I just was hoping I would magically look much better than I did in it!
We are going on a cruise over Christmas this year. Our family, my parents and my sister/BIL. We were at Kohl's and I notice there was almost NO suits left! It's only the first part of July! I did then order another one from Kohl's online this morning. Hopefully between the 2, I am set.

My goal is 11 more pounds down by then. Right smack in the 150's!!!!!!!

[zipp2play]

Well, yesterday I did "maintenance" level DD. I am not quiting over it, I am not giving up over it, I am not "throwing in the towel to restart Monday" I am moving in rotation to my Up day and tomorrow will be a 100% clean DD! This did not/will not derail me. I made a conscious choice. It was NOT a full on binge, I fasted most of the day, had dinner and frozen yogurt after with my family. Living life.

Today was my weigh in day, I was up a bunch last night with my son who could not sleep, I completely forgot to weigh. OH WELL, next week Wednesday I will weigh in as I am supposed to.

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's up day was a good one. Calories were pretty spot on. This morning I am already hungry! Must go grab my water and start guzzling it!

Softball games tonight so hoping to hold some calories for snacking there!

[zipp2play]

Had a great DD Friday followed by a fun UD Saturday . Today's a DD and I'm still I'm bed and that always helps!!!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's DD was spot on! We were outside most of the day at games. The heat just takes almost all desire to eat away! That helped a lot. This week should be good, M-F. Saturday is a DD and I have to fly to Chicago for the day. I may struggle a bit, we will just have to see.

[dee]

I wish you luck in Chicago. Hopefully it will go well

[zipp2play]

Dee, thanks! I am thinking salad all the way! OR I may get lucky and it will be such a busy day, that eating isn't even a worry!

I tweaked my neck Sunday night sleeping and then unloading groceries last night I made it 100 Times worse! Hoping with all the advil I have taken I don't get an upset tummy since I hope to not eat anything till noon. We will just have to see how that goes. Hoping for a good DD as yesterday's up day was a bit on the HIGH side for calories!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's DD was a bit high. We have friends over in the evening...so I snacked a bit. 688c still not bad for a DD. Today's an update. Opening day at Softball World SEries too. Well, skills drills and opening ceremonies at least. I will join this afternoon for the parade!

It was weigh in day and I completely forgot! With my neck and such.. and the change in our routine this morning, it slipped my mind. DH reminded me, but I had already drank 40 oz of water. I will weigh in Friday. DH is down a total of 33.8 pounds since starting JUDDD and is at 201....oh so close to ONEderland!

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's up day was a bit over on calories. I had to GUESS what dinner was as we were out and the restuarant didn't have calories listed. OH WELL! Thankfully it was an up day!

Today, thus far, has been the easiest DD ever!!!!! Not sure what is behind it. I did normal stuff yesterday, well except I didn't have a salad at all. HMMMM Need to see if that is the issue. IF so, NO MORE salads at all on DD's. I started with my normal strawberries/cottage cheese at 10:00 then at 1:15 I had a small servings of crack slaw (200c). Tonight I will have lettuce wraps at the ball field!

[zipp2play]

My weigh in was crappy. I was only down .6, I guess it's better than up. Not sure when I will weigh in next week. I leave Wednesday for TEXAS, I guess I could weigh in Tuesday after my DD. That will be my plan. CROSS FINGERS I am in the 160's!
Oh well, I will stay on plan best I can. Tomorrow is a DD and I have to fly out to Chicago for the day. DD might be tough. I will do my best! It's a memorial service I am going to. I will fly there in the a.m. and back in the p.m.

[zipp2play]

Yesterday's DD was good. Fairly easy at work. At the ballfields I really wanted to eat. Friends were eating chips/dip all around me! Instead I ate strawberries and my lettuce wrap sandwich. FUN TIMES! I did eat a couple peanuts, but that is all!

[zipp2play]

170.2 today!

[Izzysdream]

I've been "lurking" your progress, you are doing fantastic! Congratulations

[zipp2play]

Thank you for lurking!

I was going to make zucc brownies this weekend, but our grocery store didn't have any ZUCC, what the heck???? Instead I made GF poke cake. It was good, but not chocolatey gooey like I was wanting, KWIM? Saturday was a great DD, I was actually surprised. I basically fasted till 6:00 p.m. THe memorial lunch was at an italian restaurant and what they served was full of gluten. I was honestly scared to try even the meat. Made it really easy. I sipped on diet coke (which is NOT my fave) instead. Ate my nuts and protein bar at the airport and got home at 10:15 p.m. It was a long day as I woke at 4:45 a.m.

Yesterday was great. We went to church, then did shopping (I bought a new pair of shorts, size 8!!! must be the biggest 8's ever made ) , then grocery shopping. We ended up with a late lunch at 3:00 of ribs, salad and peaches. Then at 6:30 we all had strawberry poke cake. YUM! After lunch we cleaned both cars, inside and out. SHOCKING how nice they CAN look!

Short week for me. The kids and I leave at Noon on Wednesday for Texas (Dallas area). Visiting friends, going to a 100 year old birthday party on Saturday, going to Six Flags, should be really fun and exhausting. DH is flying out on Friday night. WE will all drive back together Sunday leaving mid morning!

The plus is BOTH travel days (it's an 8 hour drive to Dallas from where I am) are DD's. THe only day I'm really concerned about is Friday. I think I will make a modest goal of 1000c!

Today's DD goal is 520c!
