Welcome! It sounds like you all are doing great!

And good luck Sara!

I'm here, too
Seems like this group is a little bit ghost-towny...I'd love to see it active! I have a couple questions, and no one to ask

Welcome!

And ask away!

There are actually numerous people around here on the JUDDD - I suspect the simplicity of it keeps us from having too many posts going at any one time.

Not a judder but attempting 5:2

Well, welcome anyway. :happy:

I'm kind of going the other way - here in a few months I'll probably switch over to 5:2 for maintenance.

Very new to forums and JUDDD. Read the book and ready to get my 2014 year started off right. Any help would be wonderful:) I am 37, 5'6 currently 157 lbs. I've had a total hysterectomy in 2006, since the surgery it has been hard to lose the weight. I do not take any medications. Anyone had real success?

Hi Jen and welcome!

I've lost over a hundred pounds over the last year and Keiras_Mom has lost more than me.

My main advice would be to follow the website calorie calculator for both up and down days.

Hi I have just completed my first week JUDDDing and have lost 8lbs. Not a big deal for me as my body always loses a ton in the first week. The real test for me is what happens at the end of this week.
I am desperately looking for JUDDDing friends for info advice and support and to gain confidence from your sucesses.
I am a bit apprehensive because this has been SO effortless. It just seems too good to be true. At the back of my mind I am waiting for the shoe to drop because nothing can be this easy.
Thanks. B

Add sent.

That was my experience too. "It can't be this easy" "WTH? Why didn't I think of this 15 years ago?!"... :happy:

Glad I found it - better late than never.

I've not had the success that I was hoping for but my brother convinced me to do the warrior diet and after 4 days I hadn't even lost a pound. I'm really carb sensitive and get frustrated really easy. I want to lose about 20 lbs and can't seem to find one thing to stick too. The up days calculator is way too high for me. I had a complete hysterectomy at age29. I'm 37 now. Menopause is not my friend. My mom and sister have hypothyroid but I've never been tested. I'm really struggling and beating myself up over all this. For once in my life I'd like to be thin....

Hi! I'm starting my first DD Tuesday, as I'll be back in school, and it's easy to do this kind of thing when school's in.....I have way more to think about than food! Looking forward to success with you all!

Week 1 - 10lb loss (I actually mis read my starting weight above!)
Week 2 - 4lb loss so a stone in 2 weeks.

I hope that I maintain at least 4lb a week for a couple of weeks more before I slow down but hey ho all loss is good.

I started JUDDDing yesterday. So far so good. I need to up my calorie intake for today so it will be what the website says. I am very excited to be on this new path. However I believe I may have to do something that is more of the pattern of 4:3 because I do kickboxing Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays where I burn 1000+ calories and I believe I will feel absolutely exhausted if I fast on one of those three days.

Hello,
I'm Kristi and I'm addicted to food. Lol. I really am tho. I just came accross the JUDDD diet and I am very interested to try it.

I have lost over 100 pounds with the hcg diet(500 calories with hormone drops). This worked great for me, but obviously, it is not sustainable for life. I maintained my weight loss with a low carb diet for many months, then said "forget it" and ate what I wanted, when I wanted...not good. Over time, I put back on 30-40 pounds and have been there for a while now.

I toyed with the idea of going back on hcg, however, I am now trying to incorperate weight lifting into my life, so 500 calories every day is not an option. I figured with JUDDD I can lift on UD's and still lose weight. My poor boyfriend is always willing to support my diet efforts and even gets on board moooost of the time. He will be excited to hear we can eat normally every other day!

I would like to lose about 50-60 more pounds. Today I am 240. My goal is 180-190ish. I am 5'7"-8" and 31 years old. I have made it as low as 204 and felt like a million bucks. And that was even before I started lifting and shaping my body.

Today is my first UD and tomorrow my first DD. I will be starting with 500/2000 calories.

Is it mandatory for the first week to stick with the shakes on DD's? Or can I just stay at 500 cal? I can get pretty darn creative with 500 calories these days. It is a passion of mine to take "junk" foods and create healthy versions of them.

Great, thanks!

Welcome Kristi:) JUDDD life has opened my eyes and our fellow JUDDD 'RS are so helpful. We have a wealth of info here:) Good luck:drinker:

Great job!!!!
