    Hi everyone. My name is michelle from the lcf board. I love juddd and have been eating this way since right before Christmas. Loosely at first. I have lost about 3lbs and am tweaking things a little so I can lose about 5lbs. I am loving this woe after eating lowcarb for 7 years. This is a wonderful breath of fresh air. Lowcarb helped me lose over 100 lbs but I was very ready for a change.
    I'm glad to have another forum that is juddd related. Only if more people would figure outs how wonderful it is!

    Hi my name is Carla and I am starting JUDDD today. I did the calculator on the site. Just confused at what % to start at. The lowest has me consuming DD 410 and UD at 2050. Is that good to start with or should I go to more middle ground % like the 30% or 25%?

    I am excited for this journey.

    I personally do not think you should go lower than 500. If you read on the site, it recommends doing 500 on DD for 2 weeks at the start of the diet.

    Hope that helps.

    Donna thanks that does help a lot, I will read some more and do that, 410 seemed really low to me at first.

    Hi!

    There are some that go lower than 500 but not during the first two weeks. You have to let your body get used to this new WOE. Also, if you can't stick to 500 don't beat yourself up. Try 600/1800 that will still give you a nice spread with the same average caloric intake.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks, I am going to try that, so far so good today on DD - a little hungry but it is getting close to lunch. Looking forward to getting into a "groove" with numbers.

    So glad to find this group! I had a very successful experience with JUDDD in 2009 - I lost 31 pounds in 15 weeks and kept it off until late 2011. My weight has crept up by about 20 pounds. I keep trying to get started on JUDDD again and I hope if I join this group, the accountability will help me stay on track.

    I'm also new to MFP and the notion of "eating back" my exercise calories is interesting. But, I think I will stick to the calorie goals I developed the last time I used JUDDD.

    My schedule is DD on M,W,F and up days for the rest. I exercise 6 days a week, so I usually target 600 to 700 calories on DD. I also try to keep my UD under 1650. Ideally, I try to have my calories average out to 1200/day over a week long period.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi everyone! My name is Megan, I am considering trying JUDDD - it sounds like a great plan for me, espeically limiting DDs to one at at time. I can do anything for one day! Today would be day one, but I'm wondering: should I start with UD or DD? Does it matter?

    I have read that a UD is best since you have something to start with for you DD.

    Hi !

    I'm Evie, i spent a couple of months earlier this year doing a very low calorie diet (VLCD) but got really fed up with packet food (i love real food!!), had some time out and gained back 10lbs and decided to give JUDDD a go - i'm low carbing on my up days due to previous health issues (feel so much better on low carb). On down days i'm alternating - one DD using up my stocks of VLCD shakes and bars and the next DD making a big pot of chicken & veg soup to keep me going all the day.

    I've started off at 500/1966

    I recognise some of you from LCF where i'm not signed up but just lurk :-) I also hang out at the active low carber forum

    Welcome Evie!

    I also lurk at LCF - I joined there several years ago, but I don't post very often.

    Good luck with JUDDD.

    Welcome to the new JUDDDers! I'm sorry I don't check this part of the boards very often, but feel free to "friend" me. There are quite a lot of us here, but we tend to be a quiet bunch, at least on MFP. It's fun to check out everyone's food logs though! Good luck and enjoy the plan. It really is a great, fun way to lose weight and get healthy!

    Thanks for the welcome Keiras_Mom and DryHeet!

    I sent a friend request Keiras_mom and i also unlurked myself on LCF - i'm FairyWren on there (and on the active low carber forum which is the place i've mainly hung out but the JUDDD section there is not so active as on LCF)

    Cheers

    Hiya, I'm Lally.

    I've been Juddding for 4 days now and feeling good. I'm not finding the down days hard at the moment but I should probably be more aware of eating enough on the up days. I don't feel hungry after a day on such low calories but usually by the late afternoon on my UDs I find my appetite returning.
    Going to try and get some exercise in this weekend....feeling sluggsh in the mornings still so need to get moving again.

    This morning one of my kids asked me ''mumma, why you so big'' I cringed and made a promise that I would give this judddd a real try, even if I don't lose some weeks.
