On cruise what rotations do you all do? If you have tried more than one can you please tell me why you chose what you chose in the end?
I chose 1/1 but I seem to lose one day, gain the next and just lose and gain the same bit!

I do the 1/1, my weight is up and down like a yoyo and then suddenly it drops a pound, then up and down again all week. My DH also does 1/1 and his weight is stable, he loses, remains the same for a bit, drops a bit etc. he get frustrated with me for getting cross when I go up! I'm jealous of how his weight remains so stable! Can't win!
Vegetarian Dukan started 5/9/12
Attack- 6 days...4lbs lost
Cruise 11/9/12..20lbs lost
I did 1/1 throughout my journey until near the end when I did 5PP days/2 PV days which helped me lose the remaining few pounds but most people I think do 1/1!!!!

TW - Achieved 16th July 2012!!!!!!!!Thank you sooooo much to all my MM friends!
So far I mostly do 1/1 but from this week I am going to do both weekend days as PV so will have to have jiggle things about next week to even it out.
Week 1: -8.2lb(3 day attack)
Week 2-14 -23.4lb (0.4lb from goal!)
Christmas gain 8.6lb28th Jan starting again
Week 1: -3.7lb
I'll keep with the 1/1 for a bit longer and keep monitoring but I just seem to yoyo over the same 1lb. Think I'm frustrated because I've stuck to 1200 calorie diets and lost 3 stone and never failed to lose 2+ a week if I stuck to the rules. I can't be eating more calories than I used to and I'm restricted whilst on dukan. I suppose I chose dukan because I thought that it would be quicker to shift my last stone but it doesn't look that way so far!
1/1 for me. Although, I do PV on Saturday and Sunday regardless of how it falls. I find that works for me. I like that little bit of flexibility at the weekend.

I do 1/1 as well and do find that occasionally after the pv day I don't lose. It does say that somewhere in the book though that this can happen.
