Hi Donkey! I know how you feel when it comes to missing Uni - I'm currently (supposed to be) revising for resits and writing essays because I missed a lot through depression - not as long a story as yours though! Well done on you 7lb that's amazing! And keep at it, definitely snack on fruit, or...

Had the SW Friendly meal at the pub I was hungry! Grilled Chicken Breast, jacket potato (no butter) and peas... no Superfree but my breakfast was completely superfree so hope that balances it out?! Haha Todays food: B - 1 slice 800g wholemeal toast (HEB) with 2x Scrambled Egg, with a dash of...

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm a 22 year old student in Newcastle, who likes being in the pub, eating crisp sandwiches and cheese and chocolate. I dont have the best relationship with food - I don't eat regular meals, stopped cooking actual meals, would snack a lot - when I got hungry rather than cook a...

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good night tonight!!

Hi Clover! The recipe was actually on here somewhere but here it is: "can mixed bean salad can green lentils 2 cans chopped tomatoes can baked beans handful of split lentils 2 large leeks large onion 4 medium carrots 2 parsnips 1 green 1 red and 1 yellow pepper 2 ham stock cubes salt and...

Thanks guys! The Sugarfree Strathmore Lemon and Lime flavour is amazing! That might change the water thing. But I'm going to buy a few bottles and put them in the freezer to take to work with me - my issue is when it gets warm it takes me so much longer to drink! If I could get a water cooler...

The salted caramel hi fi bars are amazing I bought some last night at my meeting!! Thanks for the tip over on freaky's diary :) Here to subscribe to yours too!

Hi Jemima - popping in to subscribe! Read your first post and I think you have a fantastic reason to slim down and I hope it goes really well for you!!

So I've been rubbish at up dating this week! I've carried on with the cottage pie, only sometimes I wasn't eating it with veg. I have now finished it, and I finished my butternut squash soup, but then my motivation to make more soup wasn't there. I have now however bought ingredients for the 12...

I'm sure your holiday will be fine! Just try and make the healthy choices, and if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about the diet and enjoy myself! Or as much as you can with the Mother-in-Law :P Also, I saw something about the Gluten Free "Be Free" wraps at Asda being a Healthy Extra B if...

How expensive are the HIFi bars ladies? I didn't get chance to look at my first meeting because I was a little bit disorientated. I've been having some Alpen Light 70cal bars, but I don't think they agree with me (maybe a little bit tooo much fibre if you get me... sorry if that's TMI!) Plus...

My first meeting went well, I think. Seems like a successful group, but I'll need to remember to ask more questions next time. I'm just nervous that I'm not going to lose that much in my first couple of weeks, which seemed expected. My goal however is just a pound a week until christmas - that's...

That's one of my main reasons for doing it. I've read a lot about people eating healthier and being able to come off antidepressants and things, so I'm going to give it a good go. That was on Juice fasting though, which I tried but couldn't motivate myself to do.

That's another one of my things. Chocolate and Crisps I'm so bad with. No Nutella for me anymore though! :) It was also getting damn expensive! I didn't often have actual food in, and would just nip to the corner shop for bread and a big packet of crisps or something and just eat a lot of that...

Hi! Thought I'd pop in and subscribe - our starting stats are quite similar (I hope anyway. I'm 5'6'' and my scales at home say I'm 15st9lb... but I don't think they're right and I may be over that.) Anyway, going to my first SW meeting tonight, so I thought I'd get a headstart. You've done...

I've done the Dukan a few times before, but to no avail. So this time I'm going to try and stick to a diet, and I'm going to go to meetings. My first meeting is tonight, so I don't know what to expect really. I've already started though as og yesterday, using the free 7 day plan online...

Do any of the supermarkets/holland and barretts have the shirataki noodles? I've looked and can never find them and I think I would love them!!

Hey Guys I have just inherited a slow cooker, so was wondering if anyone had any good slow cooker recipes for PP/PV? :) I have seen the Yoghurt one, and will definitely try it at some point, but looking for some stew/chilli/curry type things that might be good that I can pop in the cooker...

Thanks Sid, you too! Hoping it's not too hot while I'm at work tomorrow!! Definitely going to sprout feathers at some point, the amount of Chicken I end up eating on this diet!! It's the cheapest! Haha

Sooo ATTACK!!!! :) Did my shop today, not bad, even my friend mentioned I had a lot of stuff for what I paid. Mixed it up between Aldi and Tesco, and the walk back was definitely a work out!! For breakfast I had two scrambled eggs, I was in a rush. I then had chicken breast and yoghurt for...

I found this recipe on a fitness blog and wondered what everyone thought? Egg Muffins with Salmon (plus Broccoli for PV) - makes 8 8 Eggs (1 or 2 Broccoli) 3 pieces of smokes salmon Salt/Pepper/Herbs Spray a muffin tin with oil (and wipe out with tissue) Crack an egg into each section Chop...

Also, I don't have access to my book right now (I find attack ok to do with out the book, will be home to collect just after I start Cruise phase haha) - what is the Banana-policy? If I remember right they're either banned or restricted. I only ask because I saw a recipe for a smoothie that had...

It is! I love it, I normally live in Newcastle because that's where I'm at Uni. Just a hassle getting the bus to work everyday, I'm at the Metrocentre! That sounds good, I'll definitely try it next week. Actually can't wait to go shopping tomorrow. Going to get my meat and anything...

Also, in the cruise phase are we allowed Cauliflower rice? Not that I know much about cauliflower rice, but a friend mentioned it and I thought it might be good if I make a curry-type-thing (I should probably mention I'm not the greatest cook, and I'm a little fussy, but I'm working on it!)

I posted last week that I was gong to do a restart. That was 10 days ago, and although I have my oatbran and my massive amounts of eggs in the cupboard, I haven't done it yet. But tomorrow is the day (mainly because it's payday). Money has always been an issue with me on the Dukan - it can...

I'm back on this, after losing a stone in 3 weeks in January. I've found as a student this was really hard to keep up. I then just started eating rubbish again, no self-control. And got back into my Coca-Cola addiction. So weight has piled back on. I'm going back into it though - went to buy...

I was in Holland and Barrett today checking what Dukan-friendly items they had. I saw these Scandinavian Oat Bran Crisp breads, advertised for Slimming World, but thought they might be ok? I wrote down the stats: (per crisp bread) Calories: 31 Protein: 1.62g Fat: 0.55g Carbs: 3.32g Sugar: 0.5g...

Crabsticks have been a slight revelation on this diet haha I bought some because they were on offer in Morrisson's and they were realllllllly nice. I've ran out, and it's a nightmare!! Haha Confession time: went off a bit mid-week. After being dead proud of myself for lasting that day with...

Gets really hard this dieting stuff, particularly when all you want to do is eat a massive bar of galaxy and a packet of kettle chips :/ I was proud of myself today though, the girls I was revising with were sat eating Kettle chips, and I consoled myself with Pepsi Max. And then we went to...

I popped my head in the fridge yesterday looking for something but forgot what it was. When I wondered out loud, my flatmate was like "Did you want some chicken" - even she's noticed how much I eat now haha it's a good job I like chicken :)

Thanks JoJo! I have no problems with the drumsticks... it was the ribs I had an issue with :) Ah well, tastes good :)

I've never roasted a chicken before, and I'm also quite squeamish, so it was an experience haha Suppose it'll get better the more I do it, but I still had to get my flatmate to come get the last of the meat off - couldn't handle touching the ribs!!

Thanks Sid :) I saw your welcome in the Welcome thread too, but I'm still getting used to how this forum works, and I literally only just saw it haha Question for anyone reading this: Is Diet Coke unlimited? It's 0.5-1cal a can (says two different things on the can actually haha)... Only I...

Hiiiiii :) I started Dukan on 7th Jan as a New Year, New Me kinda thing. Gave away all chocolate and carb-related items and was really positive. Planned on a 6-day attack period, as Mr Dukan told me in his free true-weight email thing :) However, on the last night I was trying to pull an...

If anyone has anything good to do with Casserole Beef that isn't a casserole, please post? I have some and I'm not a great cook at all haha

I'm such a bad cook... going to try the lasagne with courgette instead of pasta, if I can work up the courage to attempt a white sauce!

Looks like I fell at the first hurdle too... But I lost 10lb in my attack phase, and I ate Tesco Barbecue chicken and Tesco Everyday Value chicken all the way through it? Now I'm confused... I'm on Cruise now, should I still avoid these? I'm a student, so they're easy to buy in Tesco when I'm on...

We can't have squash?? :( I thought it was ok as long as it was no added sugar... will have to hide mine, or give it away I suppose :(

Hey, I'm having a baaaad craving for crisps and found this thread - could someone answer me what kind of sliced chicken/turkey/ham they used? Are we talking about packets of cooked chicken, like you would buy to go on sandwiches? Because if so, I have these and want to try them!!!!!

Hey :) I started on 7th, so not long before you. I did a long Attack Phase (ended up being like 8 days) and I've just eaten my first bowl of soup :) It was awesome. I didn't find it that hard either, because I like chicken, mince, and I already ate a lot of lean steak! And I'm a plain eater, so...

Heyy :) I'm Amy, I'm 20 and this is the first time I've ever taken a diet really seriously. My parents started this diet in September and have done really well, so I thought I'd give it a go. Completed the Attack Phase, although I ended up giving myself an extra Pure Protein Day, because I...
