Hi, I'm just starting. Have done my own thing for past 4 days fasting to get a kick start, one more day then going to do Monday, Wedneday and Fridays fasting and 4 days UDs, I do lots of exercise so don't want to feel weak doing it and feel 3 days will be enough. Need to lose a couple of stone. Love to hear peoples stories and tips on here. So far I've lost 2Kg or about 4 1/2 llbs

can someone give me some advice, I'm doing 500 /2200 based on the fact that i exercise moderately, but tonight i will do a body attack class and burn about 650 calories, can i replace that 650 with food? I know i'll be ravenous and I've been on a DD today?

I'm doing it too.:)

I'm a newbie

Doing well, started about 3 weeks ago and was hoping there were some active JUDDDers here. :flowerforyou:

Hi Scoobies and welcome, hope it's going well for you!

Keiras_Mom good luck with losing a few more pounds Dawn, you're looking great!

I started JUDDD on June 17 and have lost approximately 8 pounds! I'm so thrilled with the progress so far I wanted to post here to give encouragement to anyone who might need it. I don't know how much of the loss is strictly due to JUDDD or other factors that have been going on, but I have been trying to lose weight for such a long time with no success - until now. I am taking some medications that could have contributed to the weight loss (bromocriptine and Synthroid). Both of those medicines are supposed to be correcting hormonal problems that I'm almost certain were the reason for my 20 pound-ish weight gain to begin with. But it's pretty dramatic how quickly the pounds came off after I had a few down days.

My weekly schedule is like this: Sunday (DD), Monday (UD), Tuesday (DD), Wednesday (UD), Thursday (DD), Friday and Saturday (UD). The only way I could make it work for me was to have two consecutive up days on Friday and Saturday. My calories according to the calculator were about 2,000/500. The calculator actually gave me a higher calorie number for up days because of the type and frequency of exercise that I do, but I was afraid to actually go that high... not to mention, 2,000 and 500 are easy to remember. I still don't quite make it to 2,000 on some up days, but I make up for that on the occasional "up, up and away day!"

Get this: 5 of those 8 pounds were lost while I was on a two-week vacation. It was quite hard to stick to 500 calorie down days while traveling, but I am so glad I stayed strong.

Good luck to everybody!

I was fine all day until about 3:30pm. That's when my husband decided that Papa Murphy's was dinner. I had to go and pick it up and bake it! Ugh. But once the pizzas were done my son left a cupboard door open and I smacked my head pretty good. Long story short, I spent the rest of the evening in bed with a killer headache. And I didn't eat any pizza. lol

Sooooo glad today is my UD!! I had some leftover pizza for breakfast and am still full. So I will probably have a late lunch/early dinner and just a salad around 6:30-7pm.

Also, I am not going to exercise on my DD's. I ran a little yesterday and was starting to feel hungry a few minutes in. I stopped and drank some water and the hunger went away. I think for the first two weeks I'm only going to work out on my UD's. lol

Hi Jen and welcome :-) Hope your head is feeling better!

unstrungharp - losing while on holiday, now that IS impressive! I have occasionally had two UDs in a row if i've had a lot of social stuff on at a weekend. It hasn't affected my losses so far. And don't be afraid of eating up to your cals on an UD - it's the difference between the UD and the DD cals that make JUDDD work so well. Most people find it best for weight loss to use the figures from the calculator with it set to "Little or no exercise"
