Good morning sweetie peetie I think I've decided for right now to commit to JUDDD for at least one month. I need to let the SIRT 1 start flowing in my system before I give up!

[Gracie514]

Good morning peeps So, as I told Pati, I am going to give JUDDD a one month trial to see how I do. Monday I was at 899 calories, yesterday at 1950, and today is a DD. I'm easing into it. The DDs seem to be easier than UDs. Hopefully I can get out of that feeling of having to eat everything in sight on an UD My goal for right now is to get back settled in the 180's and just to enjoy life. My friend Katy (Potaty) informed me yesterday that a woman that was on our TTC (trying to conceive) thread lost her husband. She has 5 small children. Apparently he got sick on Sunday and ended up dying yesterday. It was some kind of brain infection (viral). I am sick about it I can't even imagine how horribly her world has just been turned upside down. I really need to focus on the good in my life and treasure everything I have.

OMG she's a LCF right? I think I've read her name several places.
My heart hurts for her husband's sudden death. I pray she gets through this difficult time in her life.

God bless her and her family.

She was on here back in 2009 when I was trying to conceive my daughter Erin. Her name is Jenny. Katy (Potaty) is my friend since then also. She informed me last night on FB. I was in shock - I can't even imagine what they are going through. They have 4 boys and a baby girl

Good Morning Grace!

Hoping you have a great day today!

Be blessed....

[MagieDen]

It truly breaks my to read and hear stories such as these. Praying for the family in their time of need. It does make us examine more our time on this earth and how we respond and treat others and more importantly how we treat ourselves. I need to get my health in check so I can be here for those who need me so I can be a blessing to them as well as to myself.

I pray you can find comfort in the God of all comfort Gracie.

Have a good day!

[12yrslater]

Hope you're okay Gracie!

Hi guys and happy Friday Sorry I've been MIA but I've been working in our corporate office since Wednesday because my boss' son is getting married this weekend in Florida and they needed help. I usually work out of my home office. It's about an hour drive each way so I've been tired when I get home. Tonight I have to work the concession stand for the high school football game and then tomorrow DS plays at 10 am. Then Sunday my daugher cheers at noon. Another busy weekend!

My eating has been odd to say the least. I have been okay during the day but at night I'm starving. All week I've been eating crap at night - chocolate, cereal, etc. I'm not sure why. TOM isn't due for like another 10 days or so My weight is up about +0.4 lbs so not too bad considering how awful I've been eating at night. I've been IF'ing all day and once I get home I'm craving SUGAR. Maybe hormones???

Oh well, gotta work Everyone have a great weekend!

[shari]

Busy weekend planned..but it's not our weekend, we're on their schedule LOL. Maybe you're getting too hungry and your sugar levels drop, so your body craves it? Don't know. Stress can also triggers sugar cravings for me...

That 0.4 is nothing...great! That's one of the benefits of JUDDD, it's so forgiving and you don't blow up after eating carbs/sugar.

[12yrslater]

I totally agree with Shari...The .4+ is no great shake!

Good luck with keeping on plan!!! You'll do good I'm sure

Have a great weekend and don't forget to take a breather from time to time...Momma needs her time too

I am so sad too, Gracie. I keep crying for her. I just can't fathom what she is going through. There is a fund set up for her family, if anyone feels led to contribute you can PM me. So very sad.

Good Morning Gracie!

Morning Gracie, hope all is well with you and your family!

Good morning Gracie!

Good morning I had a very busy and tiring weekend. My food choices were pretty poor but considering I ate at concession stands every single day I didn't have much variety to choose from! I refuse to weigh today because I know it will be BAD I'm still not sure what path to take here! I like JUDDD but I can't seem to complete one good DD. Weight Watchers sounds good too. I'm getting an endoscopy on Wednesday because I'm still getting that pain in my left chest area. All of the heart tests came back good so now they are going to check my gastro issues. It may be a hiatal hernia or something. Praying it's all good

Today I'm attempting another DD........

[Deb294evr]

Hope your tests find the problem, and it is easily taken care of!!.. I have had my fill of doctors/sickness/hospitals.. so I feel for you!!! You will find your path, no worries...

Pray they find the cause for your chest pain. Don't beat yourself up hun, remember what matters more is the people we love and love us...they don't care what the number on the scale says!! Just don't give up and half the battle is won. I agree with Deb, you'll find your path. I would've stuck with JUDDD if I could complete a series of DDs to get that gene released but I couldn't and it became too stressful. We have other factors going on in our lives that causes stress, why add to it if we can help it? Hope it all comes together for you.

[12yrslater]

Oh Gracie...I am sorry you still don't have an answer on those pains!
I pray they find the cause!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

[MagieDen]

Just eat the best way you know how Gracie and let it take care of itself. I hope and pray all is well with your exam on Wednesday. Thinking of you.

[12yrslater]
