good luck on your journey. I've got a similar amout to lose. I'm going to follow your diary for inspiration.

I'm new on the SW bit. 10st 6lbs I haven't been in the 9s for a couple of years & would really like to get there this summer. reading on here is very motivational.

I'm a bit fed up, weighed in early and STS. I know its only been 5 days bit would have expected some kind of loss. Nevertheless, I'm going to carry on & not give up.

Just read all your diary. It's inspiring. Congrats on your weight loss.

Found it ok so far. I had a G&T yesterday (counted it as 6 syns) Following the plan but feel that I'm eating too much pasta. I've been having 1/3 super free food, mostly roast cauliflower & salad. Weigh in day is Monday, keeping fingers crossed that the weekend won't be too difficult on the...

Thanks Mick1892. I'm following yur diary also, Well done on a great weight loss!. I'm going it alone at the moment. I bought the books from SW on ebay & get a voucher for group but they haven't arrived yet. Not sure if I'll go though. I've done 3 days now & feel pretty good. MY DIL goes to...

Very inspirational!

Day 3 All going well so far. Fingers crossed, not weighing until sunday. I've stuck to around 10-12 syns per day & haven't been hungry at all.

Hello SW This is my first attempt at SW. I weigh 10st 6lbs and ideally would like to lose 2st. I started yesterday & so far so good. Yesterdays food B-mushrooms, bacon & egg L-bacon roll D-roast chicken,cauliflower & courgettes Snack-2 weetabix & milk (synced) Todays food plan B-2 weetabix &...

Snap Sara! Im away until the 29th and have made up my mind that on the 1st April I'm going to knuckle down and get back into the zone that I was in the first time around. It's quite depressing and tomorrow is my birthday. last year i said I'd be back down to my lowest dukan weight by now but...

I'm coming back also Sara. Restarting yet again. I did so well the first time around but can't get back on it. weigh nearly 11st, my lightest on dukan was just over 9st. Good luck Sara, lets crack this together.

Will take your advice Jo. It was so much easier first time around. I'm quite cross with myself for ending back up where I started.

Well. managed to botch the plan last night. Had bread and butter at dinner. I'm such an idiot and was doing ok. Not sure whether to restart or to continue to eat healthy for a while.

I've decided to restart my diary on here. When I last did a diary is the time that I managed to lose successfully. The weight has piled on again even though i've been doing clean eating etc etc. Dukan worked the first time around. so going to give it another go. I was going to delete all...

keep it up Sidd. i'm doing a 5 day egg fast thing & moving back to dukan(ish) eating after that. Came on here to look up the old recipes that were a Godsend the first time round.

i din't want to do total dukan again. I now realise that I can lose the weight while on cruise then it becomes more difficult for me to maintain. Instead I am doing the PV days of dukan but eating clean with no wheat as well. So far have lost 8lbs in a month this way. I know this is prob the...

Just realised that its nearly two years since first dabbled with dukan. Lost loads the first time but since then have only been halfheartedly dieting. not quite following dukan at the moment but attempting to eat healthily while following dukan PV days.

Dukan start-141lbs lowest-132lbs highest-148lbs(3 weeks ago0 current weight-141lbs dipping in and out of dukan, mixing it up with paleo had a good loss first time around, then life and Christmas got in the way. Have been struggling ever since then. finally seem to have gotten my head in the...

I'm dabbling in and out of dukan. I started dukan around the same time as you, so welcome back!

Congrats on the loss. I'm giving paleo a go. On week 3 and a small loss. I might have a go at the intermittent fasting, the way that you've organised your timings doesn't sound too bad. xx

Caro on your fast days, do you drink any thing except water? any coffee included please? I've taken your advice and gone onto pale & on day 10.. doing well so far but would like to give a little kick start to myself. you're doing great & look tiny in your FB pics. x

Happy birthday for tomorrow Jo! :birthday::birthday: Hope all is good with you/ xxxx

30 mins treadmill powerplate & a swim

Carry on & put it behind you, you've still gotta live while doing onward & downward. a couple of blips will not derail all your hard work!

hope you're feeling better x

i've been good & done some form of exercise every day this week. just debating with myself whether to get up early & gym or to stay under the duvet. I'm at the children's. Cooked healthy Indian curry & Trini chicken stew for them last night, with mashed cauliflower instead of rice. I prefer...

Congrats & hope you'll be very happy in your new house! xxx

weighed in this morning. Back down to 139lbs from 143lbs when I came home 3 weeks ago. ( prob will go back up tomorrow because a birthday meal for my son is planned for tonight, involving biryani & chocolate cake) I know dukan works, I just have a problem getting the plan started!

slight slip last night but persevering, had a look at the atkins section, sticking to dukan for now.

Hello Kelmo I love your hair. I popped across from the dukan bit cos I thought atkins might be a change & I rememebr you from Dukan. Sorry to read about your breakup, you look great though & congrats on sticking to VLCD, I couldn't stick to it. Hope yu had a good Halloween!

LBD challenge starts today for me. no more cheat days. going hardcore dukan. i realised last night when my zipper had trouble closing that maybe I've overdone the cheating. Back to reality.

carmen miranda

back to reality, pp tomorrow.

I'd weigh in, the loss after attack is usually very motivating.

amazing loss! welcome to dukan

cheat night was amazing, now back on the plan.

40 mins treadmill, powerplate!!!

Oh! poor you, hope everything sorts itself out xx great weigh loss

total body workout am I alone?

off to the gym to make up for planned cheat tonight, curry takeaway & breaking bad, woo hoo, yippee

bump bump

Hi Becca I'm 137lbs at the moment (up 4lbs since holiday) I'm not quite ready to cruise properly so I'm trying to keep to a semi healthy dukan type menu at the moment. Giving up alcohol is my goal for this week & then cruise properly next week. looking forwrd to the cauliflower recipe. xx

lovely menu, might copy it tomorrow xx

I've woken up feeling nearly normal,:) now need to organise a flu jab! Been to the gym & did treadmill & swimming. dinner is planned, shepherds pie, mashed cauliflower & brussel sprouts. I've regiven up booze yet again, cruising to lose, mojo has been found!!!!! ( except for dinner next wed...

I'll promise to be a good dukan girl next week if the lurgy will go away now. I've never spent so long horizontal feeling rough.

Hoping that all is good with you Jen, how is uni? I'm on a mini break from proper dukan at the moment,picking and choosing the best bits & as long as I don't have a huge gain, I'll be happy until my head is ready to go all out dukan again. Does that make sense?

xxx miss you where are you? & what language are you translting in? if you don't mind me asking?

OMG I'm exhausted just reading your post. Good luck with the move xxx

Yay! Looking forward to some of your famous recipe ideas! xx

Thank you comsumption was heavy duty, I've had the dreaded lurgy since returning must be the alco draining out of my body, hoping to be normal next week. xx

Good luck with the shred Sander, glad that you're feeling a bit better. Just off to google SHRED

nothing wrong with plodding. I'm so with you on going straight back to cruise, I hate attack x

LOL

What no posts for 14 hours?

Eating leftover curry for breakfast. Hoping that pesky chest clears up soon, no tastebuds & really tired. Unfortunately no matter how sick I am, i never seem to go off food but even eat more. Must be a lftover from my Nan who insisted on the feed a cold method of care.

Wow, just read in an advert 69 days to Xmas, I predict that the board will get really busy over the next few weeks. where are you all?

On the starting line. ended up getting a super healthy Greek takeaway for lunch: chicken shish, meat shish, salad, a little bit of naughty bulgar salad and salsa. On the couch horizontal cuddled up with Arnie the kids dog. Curries made & not moving until I go to take some curry for my friend...

dukanish day planned!! B- dukan bread, egg & dry fried bacon L-? D- Chicken vindaloo & BNS for me ( lamb curry for kids) Back off to the kids for the night, so happy big cookathon planned. Feel much better today, chest less crackly so def planning gym from Mon xx

Thamks Joodle. No not too traumatising, Uncle was 92. I've joined the LBD challenge, want to lose around 8-10lbs so need to get cracking otherwise it'll be Christmas Eve before I get started!!!! xx

I so want to do some exercise but chest is still too bad & wheezy. Hoping to be back to normal by the weekend. Joodle you're amazing.

B- scrambled eggs, i slice bacon & dukan bread L- half a burger, few chips, 1 vodka & diet coke ( bad but was at a funeral & was really hungry & nothing very dukan friendly) D-? Stepping up to the dukan plate very half heartedly, still better than bingeing, looking for mojo

Now got Infinity!!! can read the daily mail at the speed of light! Told Bt that Infinity is really wasted on me but it came as a freebie so not complaining. Had a day of mostly chicken soup (plus a mini bar of choc) Lst of the antibiotics is Wed so plan on restarting the restart then. xxx

Plodding is good Scooter, nowt wrong with that xx

Been on hols scooter. Got back Fri & I've been under the weather but dukan mojo is on the way back & ready to do the LBD challenge. How are you ?

Cruising to lose starts tomorrow, I need to shop for dukan goodies. chicken, chicken & more chicken! cluck cluck

I'm in Sid. I'd like to lose 10 lbs by Christmas. Been up & down like a yoyo all year.xxx

gym done

I love mooncakes. where do you work Caro?

I haven't ordered it yet. will do as soon as I come back. I thought if I ordered it, I wouldn't be able to restst trying it out. Ice cream looks amazing.

B-dukan bread, smoked salmon & scrambled eggs L-chicken & salad D- val chop, mashed cauliflower & courgettes

Keep going with the exercise Caro, you're doing great with all the cycling.

Ate all & was a bad girl. back on wagon today.

May not be so good tonight, dining out xxx

I do more PV days than PP days. Weight loss is slow but I think I've added a lot more muscle as clothes are a lot bigger & I feel more firm on the whole. Congrats on the slimline bum!! What I like about doing a dukanish diet is that it keeps me away from eating the junk carbs. I'm not really...

Baking session done. I was good & didn't nibble anything. Salmon & courgettes for dinner tonight. Zumba & yoga done. xx

yoga done

tryingto do dukan got scuppered this morning by a mini bar of chilli chocolate. Bad girl. I'd gone to aldi to get baking supplies & needed choc for one of the recipes, saw it on the shelf & had to try. Tomorrow I'm doing a baking marathon, DIL is having a birthday bash on Sat & I volunteered...

that was my nickname at school :)

Stay strong xxx we are all here for you xx

Trust the clothes & not the scales Caro.

Gym done, it was a struggle

No I'm just a lightweight drinker now!!! Definately wasn't the most drunk on Sat!!!!:)

Woke up feeling normal :) Happy off to the gym

The way I feel t the moment, calories are the last of my worries! Just read an article in theDaily Mail that said hangovers get less with age. I can confirm that they re talking utter rubbish. will do PP tomorrow in penance.

Just had a coffee with a drop of Baileys in the hope that hair of the dog might perk me up LOL Next Thurs Sid Suzy is my name.

That sounds like a proper cooking session, reading it has made me hungry, xx

Driving the bus Trudy I thought hangover was gone but still feel a bit rough. I've become a complete lightweight in the drink department if only I was a lightweight on the scales :)

Climbing back onto the wagon this morning. Thank God I feel better than yesterday! Definately a lightweight in the vodka department though! need more practise :) just made my bread ready for a PP day to counterattack the weekend damage.

Hungover :) back to the wagon tomorrow xxx

Slightly too much wine last night, head is a bit sore this morning & planning on a drink tonight as going to a BBQ ( who in their right mind has a bbq in September?) and will need vodka to get through it! hoping for a STS not a gain this week.

Glad to hear that he is improving. What a shock for you & your family xxx

Going to order one now!

Gala meal trying out eating in the real world in anticipation of holiday food. bread & butter, soup, steak, wine. hoping that the scales don't shoot up tomorrow. Wanted to get a sense of what undukan food might do while on hol? don't really know why as i already know that hols equal weight gain.

How is the icecream maker? thinking about getting one, which one do you have please?

Congrats on the mortgage & hooe the scales are favourable today. have a great weekend & enjoy the Chinese food.

Happy Anniversary xxx

OMG he looks so cute. P I know exactly what you mean about prefering to be an early riser. Normally by 9pm (when the good tv programmes usually start) I can't keep my eyes open. Enjoy the school run, xxx

Scales say 134lbs this morning!!!! i've changed my signature & am hoping that they're not lying like they've done for the last 2 weeks! telling me a good loss one day & something else the next. holiday countdown is well & truly underway. Less than 2 weeks to departure. Son,DIL & I have been...

Thats hardcore cycling. But the good news on the cycling is that my brother has cycled to & from work in all weathers for the last 8 years & is like a twiglet & eats like a horse. He says its the cycling that keeps him thin. I wish I could cycle. My plan for today is zumba & yoga. Not got...

Thank you, Wed is my experimenting day, I feed son & DIL on Wednesdays.

swim done, happy cycling Dukanista, not the best weather for it though :)

40mins is still a decent walk,

Not quite sure how to upload pics from the phone. The pic before is the squid and shiritaki noodles that I made tonight.

2 spoons of millicano coffee, 1 inch of water & a drop of milk. Pure caffeine :)

extra strong coffee did the trick, gym done. baking red vetvet cupcakes for the kids!!!! resisting so far. todays food B- dukan egg sandwich L- smoked salmon D-roast chicken & veggies 3L water

gym done, double coffee perked me up really well :)

I'm eating an egg sandwich while typing this & dringing a double strength coffee. will see if this ups the energy level this morning. I'm np spring chicken but at body pump some of the much older ladies use double the weight I use & do it easily!!!!Want to up my game :) On the good side the...

I don't think I'll manage the 2 drink rule, going all inclusive. I'm planning on abstaining from all carbs & puddings & having a few drinks instead :)

Thanks for the advice. Will try to drink more water before workout tomorrow. My son also told me to try having a double espresso just before gym, he says that works for him.

Now that I'm back home, knees feel ok. think it must be middle age :) Going to have a word with the physio tomorrow though. Well done on cycling in this terrible weather. it looks like the winter is approaching quickly. It feels really chilly today.

Thanks Dukanista I'm going to try & keep to the high protein/low carb diet whila away to limit the damage but am really looking forward to a few cocktails. I've been looking on the internet & found a few that are lower in fruit juice & sugars. (negroni, cosmopolitians & martinis) Felt really...

back to the wagon today. Went out for dinner last night & our usual waiter commented that if I don't start drinking back & practise before the hol, I'll have no restistance on day 1!!! What to do? Go for the bigger weight loss & be a wimp at the bar or less weight loss & have smaller hangovers...

Body pump done. Knees are aching, any tips please?

I was wondering about which cocktails of drinks are the best to drink? I know alcohol is banned but I want to go off plan & do as little damage as possible, so I thought I'd do some research before the hols!!!! Any ideas please?

you ok Jen?

Roast pork dinner! & 2 glasses of wine! lovely but had a gala last night, so now 1 week ahead of myself in the gala department.

Slightly off plan yesterday, so treated it like a gala day. 1 piece of bread & butter, ordered prawns but they came in a buttery sauce. I took them out off the sauce & tried to mop off as much of the sauce as I could. Then the main of grilled scallops had yet more sauce under them. I gave up...

zumba & yoga

does a mini swim, steam and sauna count as exercise? prob not. was to aching to do anything else this morning.

Instead of caving in to cake DIL & I went for a swim & steam. Now cooking cauliflower puree to have with yesterdays leftovr bolognese sauce.

woke up wanting a cake?

Went to the chinese supermarket this morning. Now fully stocked with shiritaki noodles. The helpful guy (the irish one not the chinese one :)) said to buy a case instead of individual packets 7& they would be cheaper, paid 85p per pack, Really happy. Also bought some jars of different sauce...

Total body workout done at 7.30 am! totally aching :)

today I did weights. Otherwise throughout the week I do yoga, zumba & body pump. My trouble is that i go through phases of regular exercise & then phases of couch potato!!! I am envious of you & your bike. I'm no good on a bike & prob not safe to be let out on the road either :)

todays food B-dukan bread, scrambled eggs & tinned tomatoes L-roast chicken D-pork loin, shiritaki noodles with asparagus & peppers, bbq sauce snack-yoghurt & jelly Clothes feeling much looser, not much change on the scales this week, been gymming like a woman possessed. I'm happy on the...

I do mostly PV days prob 5/2. My weight loss is not super fast but I find them much easier to stick to & am less likely to go off the rails into a major binge.

Gym done today- full body workout aching allover already!

My train seems to visit a lot of stations & gets derailed very easily!!!! Dukaning full blast this week. I'm looking through the recipe section at the moment getting ideas for dinner at son & DIl tomorrow. They're not dukaning but are happy with whatever I cook. I usually cook 3-4 different...

Well done Jenny for making a good choice at the chippy. Don't give up, you've done really well so far on dukan. xxx

You're right Sid, it's so hard & even harder to take a step back & let them make their own discoveries & mistakes. I see my son once a week but still really miss him.

B-dukan bread, egg & tinned tomatoes L- 1 rollmop & salad D-roast chicken, courgettes & cabbage

Dukanista, I'm totally feeling your dilemma. men don't really seem to understand the dukan philosophy. xxx

ha Sid the cheese was just an appetiser to lunch today. I really don't know what happened to derail me, ordered roat beef, all good, then had wine & then a pudding!!!! back home now drinking tea & looking very sheepish. Ah well, could be worse & back to the dukan train station. xx

Slight slip up last night, I had a matchbox sized piece of cheese, 3 grapes & a strawberry!!!! Was out of dinner & no matter how many times I explain the workings of dukan, I might as well be taliking to myself. This morning out of curiousity I put my food intake into my fitness pal. 4...

135lbs this morning :)

For lunch I made an old favourite that I had forgotton about- P's yuk sing recipe. It was delish, even the grown up kids loved it! Was slightly naughty, I discovered wheyhey ice-cream Wheyhey Ice Cream high in protein & not toooo bad in carbs & fat. I told myself that it was better than eating...

Hello Sanders welcome back to the dukan wagon train, or maybe I should call my train a roller coaster, full of highs & lows but the one constant thing is all the support that my minimims friends give me. It is so strange but a few words of support on here have so much impact and make me step...

That sounds like a good combination. Fideuà Thats the recipe but I adapted it slightly

thank you This is the recipe that I adapted Fideuà instead of the dukan paella flavouring, I used a packet of spigol paella seasoning that i'd bought in France ages ago but you could use a mix of smoked paprika,tumeric & garlic instead of having to buythe dukan bottle of flavouring. I don't...

I'm looking forward to reading about how the frozen yoghurt experiment goes. If its good, I might be tempted to get one myself.

This is the shiritaki noodle and seafood paella like dinner that I made last night.

I use yeo valley organic (1 little tub to 4 pints of milk) & that works for me.

I buy mine at the chinese supermarket, Hoo Hing or Wing Yip sell them. they're much cheaper, 99p per pack.

Fish soup sounds nice, I've just reread some of the dukan book & it's amazing how the bad habits come creeping back in!

Any loss is a loss & you'll prob have a bigger loss next week especially considering all the stuff that happened this week! x

Poor you, I sympathise totally & admire your patience. I would def have murdered someone by now!!!

I know what you mean. It's quite funny really, I know exactly what meat & fish is allowed on dukan but I spend ages reading labels & looking at stuff then usually buying chicken,chicken & more chicken. Tomorrow I am trying out a recipe I found on the dukan site. It's supposed to be like a...

Staying on dukan I finally had a loss and at least on dukan I know wht is allowed or not without having to consult a book. But SW does sound enticing.

Bought the 3 for £10 meat deal from m&S. I can have the chicken thighs & some of the beer can chicken minus the skin. The pork ribs look amazing but I'm staying strong & not having them. I nearly caved in and bought the £10 meal deal & stayed in front of the chiller cabinet for ages ( people...

There a loads of combos that would work in a lunchbox tub of cottage cheese & cooked prawns hard boiled eggs & a mixed salad sandwich made using dukan bread smoked salmon, cooked prawns cold cooked roast chicken with salad cold cooked salmon mixed into a salad or really anything that you would...

Prob too much soya sauce & salt, now that I look at it. I have quite a lot of sweetener so might have to knock that on the head & see if it makes a difference. Thanks for input Sid

No prob I use 2 tablespoons of oat bran & 1 tablespoon of wheat bran, half teasp of baking powder, 2 eggs & 2 dollops of yoghurt. I buy the oat bran and wheat bran from Holland & Barrat. Sainsburys also stock them. You've had amazing losses, well done.

Yea Sid I think the plan that I'm eating at the moment is maintainable long term, very similar to what you'e doing. As long as weight doesn't shoot up while I'm away,I'll be happy. I tried on some clothes this morning, I've lost inches from my hips but my very stubborn waist is still the same...

Just as I'm thinking about giving up dukan, the scales have moved. 1lb loss, that brings me down to 136lbs. Happy with any type of loss. When i think about it, I'm not dukaning 100% like I did first time around. This time, I think I'm doing more conso that cruise so that would be why loss is...

Beautiful xxx

hmmm, sounds like I might be a deserter to SW if nothing happens this week

Hello Glad you're back, sounds very busy.

STS fed up

P what is a sample menu of what youre eating on SW please? If I don't have a loss next week, I might have to jump ship x

weight STS quite fed up about that but will keep on the wagon & hope for a loss next week.

I use tom yum paste a lot. Just a tiny amount can jazz up the plainest dish. I find PP days much harder to do this time around. The first time, I found them really easy but now struggle without the veggies.

slight blip yesterday. Last night I had a huge sugar craving, ended up having a few slices of dried mango, 4 strawberries & a tiny piece of chocolate. Hopefully not enough to derail the dukan wagon. Back on it today. Breakfast was dukan bread, hard boiled eggs mashed up with chopped...

I agree, don't weigh midweek. The scales can be misleading & very discouraging. Well done on not bingeing.

Keep going Sid. My loss is not so fast this time around, that may be because I'm doing more PV than PP but I'm hoping that because I'm eating meals that are more "normal" the weight will stay off when I get to the conso stage. Any loss is good even if it is slower.

Thanks Sid, how are you doing?

wagonning!!!

Day 20 of no alcohol, day 14 of dukan restart. I feel much better for not drinking or eating carbs. The weight loss is very slow at the moment but I'll persevere and not give in this time. I'm going to look through the recipe section for some new ideas to try this week. Todays food B- dukan...

Hello Jo I was just wring on your diary when your last post popped up! It is very hard to see our aged relatives becoming not the people that we remember them to be. Well done on being back on the dukan wagon. You'll fit into the wedding dress in no time if you stay on plan. xxx

I know lamb is not good, prob one of the reasons for STS this week. should reread the book,i'm sure that I've gotten sloppy in following the plan. Sid, totally agree with you, there is no point in having a tickly massage, might as well save the money if you can't feel it. Todays food plan...

STS this week. Have been exercising like a lunatic this week & feel much better for it. Hoping for a loss next week. Tried a Thai massage for the first time yesterday & it really hurt while she was doing it but afterwards felt amazing!! xx Yesterdays food B- dukan bread & lamb sandwich L-...

The wagon is rolling. Had a good food day yesterday. Today's food B-dukan bread and egg L-tinned salmon D-homemade beef burgers The weight is still the same but I feel smaller and clothes are not so tight!!!

Wagon time!!!! Doing PP today B-eggs &dukan bread L-omlette and tinned tuna D-chicken curry, yoghurt and jelly upping the exercise,going to do body pump & yoga

went slightly off plan today. There was a family reunion that featured all the favourite foods ever from back home. Indulged slightly but still off the alcohol so not all lost. will be back on the PP wagon tomorrow. I'm not listing the food from today as it was a carb and fat fest to put it...

Son is finally feeling better. He had physio this morning & hopes to be back to nearly normal on Monday. He is more upset about missing the last golf competion of the season tomorrow!!!! Today I baked a Nigella recipe chocolate cake to take to a lunch tomorrow. I admit to cheating slightly &...

My son has been poked, cupped & massaged with not much improvement, hoping that he improves today. todays food B-egg & dukan bread L-jerk chicken D- sashimi & sea bass

Well done on keeping to such a low calorie count. I sometimes make a konjac noodle stir fry using finely shredded spring onions, ginger, chilli & garlic with a drop of soya sauce to give a bit of taste. I add some chicken breast thinly sliced and maybe beansprouts & whatever veg is lurking in...

Thanks Sidd have refound my mojo, just hope I can keep it up. I'm having more PV days than PP days but thats better than no dukan days at all, I suppose.

I'm back also & love your recipes.

first week of restart is done & scales say 6lb loss. Need to pay close attention this week as after a loss it's easy to slip into the mindset that a spoon of this or that won't hurt. Doing gym & yoga today. Food plan B- eggs & dukan bread L-smoked haddock & eggs D-salmon & salad, yoghurt &...

Well today is day 7 of restart. 75% success today, went out for lunch but forgot to ask for no dressing on my salad! Resisted all alcohol so not too disasterous. Tomorrow is weigh in day. todays food B-egg & dukan bread L-salmon & prawns with salad & the bad dressing D-chicken & yoghurt 3L water

welcome to the dukan bus,

I need to reread my book. Not sure that I'm totally following the plan. Yesterday was ok, ignored the usual Friday night desire to have a few glasses of wine. Can't really decide what to eat today buy I know that planning is the key to not straying. B-eggs L- leftover lasagne D-?

Day 3 was ok, did not stray Food plan for today B-eggs & dukan bread L-smoked haddock & eggs D-steak jelly& yoghurt

Day 3= I've been 95% true to dukan. Had to make a modification to last nights dinner & add a splash of dry sherry to my seafood stir fry for taste but hoping that 2 tablespoon between 3 of us won't derail the loss so far this week. The scales are 3lbs lighter than on sunday, I know most of...

don't really know but when i go back to dukan after a break, I restart on the cruise phase & the weight seems to come off quite quickly. good luck, Well done on doing lighter life though, I definately havent got the willpower for that.

yep I totally agree, the thought of PP is worse than actually doing it. Restarted again this week & it wasn't as hard as what My brain was telling me it was going to be.

Day 2 went ok food planned for today B- leftover turkey L-beef stir fry D- roast chicken with a barbeque marinade & baby squid,shiritaki noodles upping the exercise!!!!!! I recalculated my true weight yet again & the dr says I could reach it by the end of Sept!!!!!! so going to stay true to...

I make a jar of this marinade & keep it in the fridge to put on otherwise uninteresting chicken & turkey, In a food processor wizz up 2 bunches of spring onions (use all the green bits as well) 1 small bunch of coriander 1 small bunch of flat leat parsley 1 med piece of ginger chopped & peeled...

Yesterdays food breakfast- 2 eggs lunch-chicken & 2 eggs dinner- shepherds pie with cauliflower mash started back with a PV day, thought that might be easier to manage after the carb & booze overload of the last 2 months. I was spurred on to restart because my clothes have got so much tighter...

I've been very bad & had a month ofeating & drinking too much. Woke up to reality this morning & am now firmly in the right mindset to board the bus again. Started back today & going to dukan properly for the next 8 weeks.

Back on dukan, day 1 of restart done. woo hoo!

Had a healthy eating day yesterday & feel much better for it. I totally know in my head that I've got to avoid sugar, it triggers me into a non stop eating frenzy. Trouble is once I start it's so hard to get to grip again. Weighed this morning for the first time in ages & the damage is not as...

hello Girls, not quite back to dukan but today have made the decision to take a mini step back to the bus. I've had 6 weeks of too much of everything & family visiting so much booze involved!!!! Going to do clean & healthy eating this week with no booze but not dukan yet. Not quite got my head...
