And Wheesht I am jiggered and it all starts again tonight - finish work tomorrow at 1.30 so straight home can do some jobs then feet up tomorrow night

Tuesday 13/9 PV
A good dukan day today extra busy at work just enough time for lunch was so hungry (had muffins for breakfast) made leek, courgette and chicken soup for lunch. Staff kept coming into the staffroom asking what that lovely smell was - it was my soup! Delish also had a chicken breast then SF jelly & 0% yog. So that lasted me all afternoon without the temptation of a hobnob!!! Dont even want one - wierd - LOL
A colleague bobbed in today as she has been off and couldnt believe how much weight I'd lost. She is a good friend so I told her about Dukan. She doesnt think she can do it as she has no willpower but neither did I!!! Another colleague has decided to do WW because she said Dukan is too restrictive. I had my lunch I was full up and this person has a WW meal and was still hungry - No contest is there. But each to their own decisions Dukan is not for everyone but for me it is

Soup sounds lovely
I do find it amazing that when I get compliments and explain Dukan that people sound interested but focus on what they can't have rather than what they can.
Can honestly say I don't miss or crave anything, I do think it's about making it varied and tasty which is what we do AND we never go hungry so big result
Have a great day tomorrow x

Yes I agree - If I can do Dukan then anybody can. What I love about Dukan is that it has done something with my head - how I dont know. I can have mars bars in the fridge and I have never thought I must have one. Pre Dukan I would have been desperate to eat one or two! a voice would b in my head to get one. I must have said since joining the forum a dozen times I cant get over it - every Sunday morning I get on the scales. Start shaking my head whilst Im logging on to report the weight loss to my minimin friends
(this is me on a sunday morning)

It's like a wee ray of sunshine to visit in here and read your post today. Yay for shrinking bottoms, boobs and bellies! Yay for Dr. D! Xx

Another good day except I tripped up in the chiller and almost landed on a bouquet of flowers (leaving presentation tomorrow) it was like slow motion could see me heading for it. Im OK aching and a headache im a silly so and so dont even know how I slipped!
Another colleague/friend asked me the same question as yesterday - she could not believe I had lost so much weight in 7 weeks doesnt half make you feel you are getting somewhere - My manager leaves tomorrow so its homemade cakes from 10 - 2 so Im going to say my goodbyes choose a cake and give it to one of the tutors to eat
Im making a fish pie for T not sure about white sauce but putting BNS and Cauli on the top and having green beans might just do a quick post see if anyone else has any ideas for a fish pie x

Sounds delish! Prob too late, but how about mashed swede as a topping?great that you're getting so many lovely comments. I think the surprise is the speed it comes off. Cannot fathom why more people aren't doing it, but I suppose different things work for different people. I do keep trying to tempt friends over to it tho

Fantastic will power giving the cake away you are doing so well!!

Didnt make the fish pie by the time i got back from taking my son to his girlfriends it was too late so had some tuna quiche that I had made last night. Its a PP day tomorrow so fish pie on Saturday - hope the weather is not too bad over the weekend want to get some walking done inbetween the usual stuff. Im off to Manchester over the weekend, new clothes for my handsome son for his start on Monday at University. My babies are grown up

Im off to bed aching like mad will be alot worse tomorrow you will all hear me moaning in morning

Have a lovely time in Manchester and have loads of fun shopping for new clothes for your new, skinny minny self!

Hope you are not feeling too battered and bruised after your little 'trip' (ouch).

Prob won't speak to you again until Monday as am off for the weekend too with NO INTERNET ACCESS!!!

Be good!

Thanks Wheest have a lovely weekend away hope the sun shines, speak to you Monday I will be very good!!! U too

Sorry to read about your mishap, hope the aches have eased. Shopping for a teenage boy - I'm hoping he's like most men I know. They have a set style of clothes they like and are more than content to keep buying the same type of things. Have a lovely weekend.Xx

yes Lausanne he knows exactly what he likes going to Uni is an important step so I wanted my son to feel good in his new clothes - shame we couldnt find any he liked

Sorry to hear that Chris, maybe buy some online?

You will love the yoghurt Chris, it's so much nicer than shop bought. Don't forget to strain as the yoghurt will be thin when it's done. Managed to buy 2 tops. They're the same, sort, one is red/grey striped with a white blouse and the other one is dark blue/grey with a blue blouse (they look like a little blouse with a tank top over it). Really cute! I never iron, I absolutely hate it and Alan doesn't want me to iron his shirts as he's very particular how he wants them ironed to he does it himself x

Thanks Mirjam will have a go tomorrow when I first get up. I dont mind ironing ive still got one pile of ironing to finish. Glad to hear you have settled in well with your new job & hope your Dad is OK, have a good weekend x

saturday 17/9 PP
fairly boring day today, housejobs between going to town to find some new clothes for my lovely son's first day at Uni on Monday. My gorgeous son didnt like any so came home with some socks. The price of stuff is scandalous! So he is looking online. Good day as usual re Dukan wanted a PV tomorrow (roast dinner) so Ive had 2 PP days together.Didnt sleep too good last night cant sleep on my left side because my arm is quite bad with bruising from the fall I had on Thursday. ive done nothing but moan these past couple of weeks - sorry! hope you are all having a good dukan weekend x
