Hey could you add me? I've recently gone to the dr about this and have been referred to counselling, but its taking ages to get sorted, and in the meantime I'm stuck in this cycle that needs to stop! Hope everyone is doing well :)

Hiya! I'm fine, I think I've now lost about 25lbs in the 5ish weeks I've been JUDDD-ing :D The food I'm eating though is rather bad, can't stop with the chocolate and other sweet treats! How about you, are you well?

You could look into JUDDD (alternate day diet) here http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/juddd/ Basically for weight loss every other day you eat 20% of your normal calories (so normally around 500 cals). This has been suggested to be as effective as an entire fast. I've been doing this for 1 month and have lost 20lbs and…

It's the same, Raquelena... are you on there too?!

I'm the same, only open to friends! Again though add me if you wish.

I'm doing JUDDD, where I eat 500 calories every other day (a down day) and whatever I want on the other day (an up day). It seems to be working and I actually quite enjoy it. I've just been going to the gym (not as much as I perhaps should though) and after christmas want to start 30DS and c25k.

Hi I'm Raquel, 5'6 and 180lbs. My highest weight was 210lbs and by ultimate goal weight is 130lbs which I'm aiming to do by May (slightly optimistic I know!) Hopefully with us all being in a similar position we can motivate each other and all achieve our goals! Feel free to add me.

I actually ordered this yesterday so yes! Unfortunately I'll be away until the 7th Jan, but will start it as soon as I return. I've seen some people's amazing results so I'm hopeful that it'll be the same!

Yay! Glad it wasn't too bad. And it'll only get easier. I've never smoked but can appreciate how hard it is! I hear lots of people replace food with exercise so you could go from smoking>>food>>exercise! Good luck for Tuesday, Hopefully the scales will be super kind.

I'm 5'6 and want to lose another 50lbs. I've lost 20 already, and want to go from 180 now to 130 by May. This should def be a group.

Hiya Donna! I think it's quite common for people to switch from low carb to JUDDD when they're stuck in a bit of a rut! Good luck and I hope you have a good time with it. If you don't know already, there is a really good forum for JUDDD on lowcarbfriends.com if you need any advice/have questions/want ideas. Let me know how…

Hiya! Whoop let's do this 20-somethings! Ok, my aim is to lose 10lbs (I'm being slightly optimistic about my Christmas restraint :P), log in EVERYTHING, and exercise EVERYDAY. I want to enter 2012 looking lean and mean :D

Hi! I'm doing fine thanks, you? In the past week and a half I've lost another 5lbs. Whoop! So that makes 15lbs in 3 weeks :D And I haven't been exercising either cos I had loads of university deadlines. But that's all over now so I'm gonna go to the gym every day in the run up to Christmas as my aim is to lose another…

I'm 20 and would love to know more people my age too! Add me if you like x

Las iguanas! It's south american goodness. Yumyumyum.

Haha, well at least you've still been logging your food, I'm seriously impressed with how long you've stuck at it for! In you don't mind me asking, were you on a different diet before this?/why did you chose JUDDD? Yea, that's what I ended up doing! Great minds think alike hey ;) Went to dinner at this pizza place today…

Sucks that you're ill. Everyone seems to be getting winter illnesses atm. But i suppose its best to get it out the way before xmas. 2 people asked me today if i've lost weight (i haven't told anyone i'm on a diet) which whilst is meant to be nice just makes me cringed and embarrassed to think they noticed that i'm fat to…

Thanks. Hmmm, yea I don't wanna eat 2000 cals either. Well I do obviously :P But for this diet i'd rather not. I'm having 2 up days in a row so I can accommodate my eating out plans (eating out 3 times this week... got to love JUDDD) Went on the scales at the gym today to double check that I had lost 10lbs (i don't trust…

I'm so excited, I ordered a dress on the internet the other day that I know won't fit as a motivation and so I can measure how my body is changing (I can't be bothered with a tape measure!) It's just arrived, and I tried it on and it ALMOST fits, it's just tight round the bottom half. It's a size 14 (US 12) which is what i…

Thanks :D Oh no, that sucks! That just doesn't make sense cos your average weekly cals are low. Hopefully next week you'll drop a big number though! I am a bit confused though as to how many calories we're meant to eat on an UD. Is it 2000, cos none of us seems to be eating that! I'm thinking I should maybe get the book…

I'm currently 190lbs, would like to be at close (ideally under) 182lbs as I haven't been under 13st in a while! Good luck everyone

Hi, I'm Raquel and I've been JUDDD-ing for just over a week. So far I've lost 10lbs! I'm literally so happy. I'm normally ok with the DDs and eat between 400-600 cals. Some days I've been struggling to eat on the UDs cos it feels like such a massive amount of food. At the moment I'm 190lbs and hoping to be around 130lbs by…

Hi, I'm Raquel from Islington and I've been on the up day down day diet for about a week or so and have lost 10lbs. I'm hoping to lose another 60lbs by my 21st birthday in May! Good luck all.
