Hi there forgive the short message I'm on my phone....laptop gave up on me a while ago and finally got a phone decent enough to be able to get on here. I'm basically back with motivation and weight to lose...the latter should be no surprise to anyone who knew me on here lol. Starting...

Welcome to Dukan Styles :) x

Back to school effect!! :) I love it lol........it's so true though that the reins always seem to get a little loose on the weekends, maybe that's the key somehow...not managed much in the way of exercise this weekend, had some weird viral thing, felt painful eyes, joint twinges, nausea...

Hey Jo, it's been a tough time aside from the weight, kinda mangled my head for a bit, end result being negative on the weight side of things, on a bit more of an even keel now :), glad you've good weather there this weekend, it's supposed to warm up here too over the next few days :) at the...

Hi Jo :) long time no speak, just checking in to say... Glad to see things are going well, when I lost the weight last time I go rid of all bar for one bigger outfit, then if I have to wear that one because nothing else fits, it's a wake up call, I have 24-48 hours to rein things in before I...

Belated Happy Birthday from me Jo ;) always late to the party! hope you had a great day :) x

nice going vicky :) x

Hi Jo Sorry to hear about the test results, I just did a quick search and it seems resistance/strength exercises can be beneficial, if it was me I'd add ankle weights to the morning/weekend walks, could help x Osteoporosis - Prevention - NHS Choices Pair of Ankle Wrist Adjustable Resistant...

How's it going Jo? :) x

You've probably thought of this already :) but just wanted to post what came to mind when you mentioned about Hubby's pancakes, maybe scale back the recipes in future - I know he loves your home cooking but if you only make enough mix/batter/whatever to cater for just him, then there'll be...

I'm 169cm Jo :) 5'6 and a half - don't forget the half it's very important :) so we must be the same height? x p.s. I just went and metric-ised my stats just for you :D x....totally confuses me though heh! x

Bonkers I TOTALLY know the feeling, I'm a bit of a loner by choice too, generally the only person who doesn't let me down - is me ;).....feel free to vent on here, we all understand where you're coming from, I've lost count of the people who post on here who have someone lurking in their lives...

Ellie!! :) Good to see you back 10lbs is brilliant :) how are the horsees? x :)

I once got offered a yoghurt maker on freecycle but declined as I knew it would inevitably end up at the back of one of the cupboards :) trying to keep it minimal with "things" this year x

Afternoon GI Jane :) take it steady with the sore throat x

Not bad Silver :) same as everyone else, new year same problems ;) x

Great progress Vicky :) x

Nice to see you back Silver :) you were always so inspiring with your exercise efforts, we're nearly the same weight but unfortunately for me I'm 3 inches shorter ;) You'll soon kick it into touch again, you still gymming it? x

mmmmmm Yorkshire puds :) hope the PT sesh goes well hun x

I was trying below 20g and felt pooped, now MFP tells me 38g x

I got a shock today when I realised there were carbs in cabbage/swede and quite a few of them....know they're healthy carbs but all the same it did come as a bit of a shock, highly recommend myfitnesspal for logging so you can "see" what you're eating..... I feel less tired today Jo, started...

Not as organised as you vicky but I have it planned out for tomorrow and think I've got my macros sorted now :) feeling better today on 10% carbs :) x

Good point Jo! x

:D bet the look on her face was priceless! x

You've got me intrigued missus with your newfangled plan :D....have to admit when I buy books (mainly on kindle these days to save space)....that I've mostly read the contents online in forums etc....gotta be careful not to waste the pennies and time reading what you already know :) x

added :) x

Oh forgot to mention I'm now tracking on myfitnesspal, according to it I should lose 1lb per week with current food intake.....we shall see - I don't trust the calories in>calories out hypothesis x

I don't know if I'm disciplined enough...carb cycling?... I have this thing, where I open something carby and well I demolish it so it's not in the house lingering and looking at me :o.....carbs scare me :( x I don't know Jo, I'm not fond of the road less traveled when it comes to diets, I...

I don't know how you do it, I'm bloomin' shattered....not sure if low carb is agreeing with me...x

It's been 2 weeks now Jo :( 1st week mother nature slapped me with 2lb gain and this week have STS.....though think a "clear out" is due...the only positive I can take from it is that I haven't gained this week and haven't fallen from my franken-plan yet so it's a lifestyle I can live with, but...

it's of someone exercising (ironic? :D)...xx not good with the stepson thing, you get on with him? (deep breaths and hide out at the gym for the weekend :))x

you're a warrior Vicky :) x

Touche I "would" lol.....:p x

Bonkers is doing amazingly well and putting the rest of us (predominantly me:D) to shame!! Keep up the good work! x

Vicky exercise is a dirty word :p lol x

Bonkers ;) you little tinker lol....wasn't me!! I'm innocent I tell you....better go delete the evidence.... I always used to have bacon while doing Dukan....not sure how that compares to roast pork etc.....but I got to goal at one point so don't think it caused too much of a problem, but as...

scales suck....I'm speaking from current personal experience....I'm still fitting in my jeans....so s*d the scales lol....I have to add I don't have much choice as I bundled up all my "next size up" jeans so if I put on weight I'll be stuffed into these like a rather uncomfortable sausage or...

Hiya It is really quiet on the dukan board at the moment - which is strange as usually New Years is a time we see (I've been around a while lol) a lot more newbies....maybe Dukan isn't as popular this year with new folks x p.s. there are a few of us lurking in Jo's (maintainer) diary :) x

The scales aren't budging for me, ugh it's so frustrating!! The plan is going well from the point of view that I can stick to it on a daily basis but not so good in that I'm still only 10lb down since I started back last month....:( may have to start logging food on mfp or something similar just...

:) I'm regular Jo ;) just the scales aren't playing ball...x

Well done on your loss Vickster :) (found your diary! :D) hope you're feeling better for the weekend (sucks being ill in your "own" time) xx

well done on your loss Jo :) x

I'm 2lbs up since totm hit too :( feel your pain hun xx

I would like a 2.6lb loss please :) so if you see the whoosh fairy please send her my way :o :) x

I agree with Pauline and Vicky ! :) I generally dislike medication and think the less we can put into ourselves and live naturally the more so the better! x

Tough week here too vicky, no losses to report s*dding mother nature and her monthly "gift" :( x

well done to you both! :)

It's incredibly quiet Jo...maybe the others are facebooking? xx

Your weekend sounds tasty and angelic :) win>win combination..........got me fancying an orlac pancake though :D...x

TOTM usually stuffs up my weightloss for a couple of weeks either side of it (joys of being a woman :o)) I remember sometimes it stuffed up the week before, during and after.... :( x

Morning all from a less than sunny Sheffield :), I'm following my own plan but the same as everyone on here am desperate to get into the 10's :o......so far I'm teetering just the right side of 12st, the first 10lb or so has been easy enough but now it's hard-yards time and I'm really getting...

I think even a STS (stay the same) is a cause for celebration :) I like to look at it as "well this is what the end game looks like, we want to maintain our weight eventually, why not practice a little now:)) that's been keeping me on track this month on the days when the scale sticks or...

Have a great weekend Jo :) x

Think almonds are only ok on Rung (phase) 3 of atkins, so not in induction or rungs 1-2. xx

Fluffy hair sucks :(.....it's 5c here today and with the heavy winds probably less than that.....ugh.....roll on springtime! :) Mrs Vicky :p where's ya stats!? xx

Day going ok, might be in for a loss this week, hopefully not speaking too soon, but OH MY GOD I want this weight GONE!!! :) I am totally impatient and although I have no problem with the plan I'm on (I can see myself eating like this for good!) which is quite a shocker for me. I still want to...

Afternoon Dukaners, Atkinsers, Low Carbers and Lurkers ;) Better than the alternative though :) helped keep me sane on one of my dukan runs :), agree though that the Orlac Pancakes are very addictive. I like your style vicky :) I must keep that in mind lol xx

man? :s lol x

I have Fire Envy :D....mine's a mock coal fire type electric one :)....would love to be able to burn wood, I'd become a woodcutter :D hehe go round scavenging branches etc....maybe one day when I'm out of the big smoke :) Hope you're having a good Monday Jo!! xx

Afternoon all :) great minds think-alike Jo as I was at the hairdressers last night too, mind you it was well overdue as I think the last time I'd been was in September!! The weeks we don't lose so much are just our bodies catching up and being cautious I find, sudden shock of a change of food...

great news on your losses and loving the foodie pics, it's not 10am and I'm now craving chili lol, p.s update your stats :D xxx

Morning Jo :) I see things are all good with you (great loss!) Sorry not been around much - haven't got a diary by choice as I seem to jinx my progress (why I don't know) when I start writing about it :o What day are you weighing in? I've chosen Fridays as it's the day I started back on and...

Bless you girls :) I'm "around" just not 100% with the dukan - I struggle with the low fat element.....managed to get up to 12st 10lb after xmas......eep! Need to get things sorted out big style :) started back on a plan a week ago today - the plan is a frankenstein-hybrid of a plan, we'll see...

You're all welcome and I'm on it Jo :) will research attack 7 day menus tonight - I will put a disclaimer on it, that I've not tried the recipes yet myself :) so you can report back and I'll stick a scoring card on them :) hope you're having a good day x

I aim to please :D......hopefully today I can practice what I preach.....first "occasion" of the season........eeep! xx

Love the idea of sticking breakfast in the stocking! :) Great idea ! x

:D hehe this made me smile, nice way to start Sunday with a smile and a little chuckle - I wish I was wise! Can I wish for that for xmas? Well I have my wisdom teeth maybe wisdom will follow! What sid said! :) YOWZERS! 50LB! *GOBSMACKED FACE* seriously you rule and I can't advise you but...

Don't underestimate the power of the chicken ;) remember your oatbran and up your water too though xx

Looking forward to your return - let the a** kicking commence! :D x

Trudy I could've written that post, I'm floundering - how are you doing? x

Hi guys, I'm posting this on behalf of my workmate who ordered the slim&save prior to discovering she'd fallen pregnant - so obviously the diet went out the window :), now her baby is on solids she's interested in restarting but has lost the leaflet on how to make up the sachets, I've taken a...

((((hugs))) x

Eilidh you make a lovely looking couple and agree with the others, you look so happy together :) enjoy!! x

How's it going Col? x

Hi P Glad the new plan is going well for you - I think I got the clean & lean book out of the library a while back....if it's the pic of the semi naked woman on the front - then I did...lol...I remember flicking through it but it didn't appeal much - possibly the recipes.... Anyways looks like...

Thinking of you Jo hun, best wishes to your Nan - like the others said hopefully she gets out of their asap and without any further problems, best of luck with the complaint xx

Amazing stuff Karin and you're SO close to goal now on your stats :) xx

4.4lb is great in the scheme of things Eilidh! :) You're a serious inspiration to me how you lost the weight and have been successful through the winter months at keeping it off! xx

Hope you have a great day P :) glad all is well with William - I need strapping into the dukan bus and not letting out !! :o :) x

Totally with you on ebay Karin! - I've been avoiding going onto it for a while now, starting trying local free-ads and suchlike with varying success....least there's no fee's and you deal face to face etc x p.s. congrats (belatedly) on your 5.5st success! :) x

Hey Eilidh :) Just did a not so quick catch up with your diary :) you have been a busy girl ;).... how's things with Mr. Fajita? xx

Thinking of you Trudy :) xx

I'm a no unfortunately :(....gutted....but it's the only day the plasterer can get to sort the kitchen before May :( will be thinking of you all xx

Fantastically motivating pictures Trudy, you're glowing and should be very proud of your after picture :) one hot momma ;) x

If I can find a babysitter I'm in, but wouldn't be able to get there much before late afternoon/early evening approximately also would be staying over, but only price I could find for the copthorne was £80+ so might have to look at other options xx

WELL DONE P :) and all this week's fantastic losers ! x

slow and steady wins the race (and helps keep the pounds off longer term) :) hope you have a good weekend Jo xx

Like that tip Jo :) x

ooh looks tasty !! :) RECIPE? x

You can do it Ellie, you lost so much successfully with Dukan - I agree with the girls, I think if it's possible OH should limit his baking requests to help you get where you want to be....be strong honey xxx

Vibrating? :o did I miss summat? :o x

I always find it easier when I'm at my lowest with cravings to read on here and see I'm not alone in that, a lot of the time if I come on here and moan about cravings instead of first going to the kitchen I find they pass :) or someone fabulous comes along with a dukan friendly alternative! (or...

Hey Honey :) glad to see you back, keep posting no matter what diet you're on ! Just remember (and don't make the same mistake I did with calorie counting) not all calories are created equal ;).... keep the emphasis on the protein where you can ((((big hugs)))) xx p.s. I'm back 20lb heavier...

Going amazingly well there Renata! over 5lb in 2 weeks!! :) I hope to follow your success! x

Ooh Eilidh so you want him to make a physical move on you? ;) hehe xx

I agree with the others :) conso style I think is a generally very healthy way to eat x

Not as food as me? :D....were you peckish by any chance when you wrote this? ;) x

NSV socialising seems so much more fun with the weight off :) x

I had a similar reservation with a guy I started chatting to online, although I didn't meet with him because I just generally didn't find him attractive from his picture...you can't fake attraction :( unfortunately it's either there or it's not.... sounds like it's there for you with your date...

Early indications....know him already so good foundations....he's supportive of your dieting and admires how well you've done....you've been text addicts :D....he sounds like a keeper.......I AM LOVIN' IT! :D have a super duper awesome evening Eilidh!! xxxx

At least you came back before you gained anymore :D.....I'd still be sitting there making full use of the "all inclusive"...there's one of those all you can eat buffet things not far from me, food sounds bloomin good from all accounts....soooooooooooo tempted :D...but wont dare go until the...

Welcome back Jo :) lovely to see you again xx

Bon voyage Trudy :) xx

I have Christmas as my goal too hun :) we can totally do this xxx

LOOKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MISSUS!!! :) xx

lol Collette - no Brandy on Dukan :whip: xx

Alright Collette :) this is totally from my memory banks (which are getting old and somewhat addled....) but I wonder if storing it in an airtight container with an opened tub of baking soda would help, it's used as a dehumidifier (don't quote me on this) I think. and is safe to have near...

LOL!!! :)

under 1000 cal? Wow hun :) impressive but don't go too low - can be counterproductive xx

I want a lounging in the 9s thread too! :D x

ahem ;) sorry but she's spoken for :) right beckstar? :D x

What "lotto"said ;)

Keep at it :) we'll get there xx

Got a few CD's knocking around Collette :) but still love to hear a brass band at Christmas....might have to go looking for events around and about - gets me all warm and fuzzy inside :).....x

is it soft or hard? :) sorry I'm giving this way to much thought but the front door I could snap off in a heartbeat and munch...:D lucky you're not nearby lol xxx

Where you at hun? miss you :( x

Well done on your loss hun :) think the crabsticks probably had something to do with it :) they're quite carby... what's the milk pudding? x

Keep posting hun :), it's great to hear from you and if anything it's inspiring to hear what you're up to on the exercise front :) don't be a stranger! xx

MRS MILF WHEREFORE ART THOU!? x :) x

Aww Chris :( sorry to hear about your feet, hopefully the injections sort it out without having to resort to ops... You shouldn't let not being on the diet prevent you from posting :) we love to hear how you're doing no matter whether being on the diet or not (so no more "fraud" talk :) ok?)...

Get you missus!! ;) New bloke, New pad, New slinky bod :D.......loving it so cool that your boy likes the dukan porridge - baby steps in the right direction :) you're setting an awesome example xx

Great to see you so motivated again P :) long may it continue! Sorry to hear about your friend :(, it's awful to lose a parent at any age but my heart really goes out to any child who loses a parent - puts the worrying about weight gains and STS into perspective but at the same time health is...

I've yet to hear any carol singers or anything this year :( not even a brass band in the supermarket :( feeling hard done by!! lol xx (still not started the Christmas shopping and as it's a month tomorrow - I'M FREAKING OUT!) eek x

mmmmmmm Collette that looks yummy, :o is the recipe online? Hope you had a lovely day xx

Be strong honey - you can do this....you've come soooooooooooo far already and inspired all of us with your commitment and determination, TW will be yours, don't stress (it causes weight gain :)) xxx

Just popping in to drool at that pud Han :) mmmm x

I read a similar comment by someone on the Dukan boards...seems being a woman doesn't help with the dieting at all.. pmt week before totm, totm week and then the week after totm all seem to cause problems of various natures :( d'oh...just gotta persevere :) slow and steady wins the race (and...

Hope you're feeling better soon hun :) xx

Wow Squishy I can't imagine ever getting to the 8s :) well done !! x

great NSV scooter :) x

Nice post hun :) x

It's ok Carole, you're not the only one :o I haven't even thought about it either :D x

Wow you look seriously SMOKIN' in that dress ;) if I looked that good in a bodycon? dress...I'd never take it off :D x

Watch your sodium intake, up your water, ensure ;) you're "regular", watch your carbs, and don't starve yourself xx

Soup looks good :) x

Great motivation Susie :) knock 'em dead xxx

148 as of today commiting to 141 by Christmas day (anymore is a bonus :)) x

Rhubarb you can get frozen in Asda/Farmfoods...if all that fails ;) good old fybogel x

Carbs make me bloat which is a pain in the derriere as I like 'em :o...they also cause extra boobage (for me)....but without 'em constipation is worse...maybe try cutting back on refined carbs (white pasta/sugar/bread) and using more "roughage" so wholegrain stuffs...help get things...

Me too ;) it was severely derailing my weightloss efforts ;):o priorities eh? :D x

Do you take measurements too? I find the tape measure helps when the scales are being less than friendly. Also, my scales measure body water/fat and lean muscle mass, I keep an eye on them...as well just to see how things are moving along, exercise can cause weight gain..but it's good weight x...

Yeah feeling a lot better now, only took 2 courses of antibiotics, a packet of decongestants, 3 packs of strepsils, too many visits to the doctors, 4 blood tests and 4 throat swabs and nigh on 3 months :o....I don't do anything by halves :). Started back on Dukan this week, Juddd started a...

Still judding Gill? x

9lb will be history :) gonna keep a close eye on you ;) you doing any exercise? x

Best to check the airline details hun, sometimes with checking in hold luggage they like you there 2 hours before x

LOL!! :) mmmmm x

I read the back fat thing on Daily Mail earlier on - quite interesting, I suffer with thigh fat :o...:) really annoys me, apparently it's genetic but to avoid soya...which is rather annoying as I use that for extra protein... Dukan is low fat/low carb :) with a few extras (like Oatbran must be...

Well done Minnie - have a lovely time ! x

I've similar targets myself so I really hope they're do-able too! :) x

I could've written that post conlou :)....just spent 30 minutes planning my day out foodwise - although dukan doesn't encourage cc...I still do as I believe firmly in the calories in>calories out equation... we've both got 9lb to lose...WE CAN SO DO THIS! :) x

I'm still here too :o... STS'd on Juddd after getting into a binge/starve cycle which got me nowhere but would be something I'd try similar at goal. Then had a couple of months fighting a virus that wouldn't sling it's hook :)...before returning to Dukan to battle off the last 10lbs or...

Get well soon hun :) - you're doing so amazingly well I think your mini goals are totally do-able xx

Hope you're feeling better soon DNF - Strepsils do a sugar free version, probably wont help your snots much but I found Asda's own decongestant tablets were quite helpful with my sinus, that an the good old olbas stick :) x

I've heels I can walk without getting ouchy feet :D...then there's the kind where I totter around and need someone warm and sturdy to hold onto ;) I save the latter pairs for 2nd dates and beyond - on a first date I might decide he's not the hold onto type :D...lol x

Definitely heels (preferably ones you can walk in ;))...unless he's taking you hillwalking and then on to a country pub...maybe keep the heels in the car :D... I've never met anyone from online in real life without talking to them on the phone first...so many weird voices out there...loll x

Don't kill him :) he's a gem and you're doing FABULOUS! hope you feel better tomorrow hun, keep killing it with the exercise you're doing so well and it's a proven moodbooster x

Have you spoken to Mr. Date on the phone yet hun? :) x

woohoo ;) I turn my back for 10 minutes...seriously :D...lovin' it....DETAILS?! :D X

Nice to see you back Laura :) I am avoiding the supermarkets like the plague for exactly the reason that they're too well stocked...it's temptation city...and I'm of weak will at the moment :) keep posting xx

aww Jo I'm sure you don't look that bad - we're all our worst critics, I could be the size of a supermodel and I'd still focus on the cellulite....:(....I noticed recently in fact that my cellulite (don't you just love that word :() looks worse since I've lost weight than it did when I was...

Feeling better now Jo ? x

Hope you're ok there Ellie x

LBD challenge is going well Trudy :) wonderful that you're inspiring people off the site as well as on it! I hear you totally regards the cost of Dukan...I have taken to ordering weekly Asda deliveries as I don't trust myself in the supermarkets at the moment, this way I can only eat "rubbish"...

I'd say if you want to scream do it....seriously...when my Mum died I waited 'til I was alone, went upstairs, shoved my head onto a pillow to muffle it slightly and just let it out...seriously the phrase better out than in with these feelings and thoughts is so true....I'm not sure if you're an...

Unfortunately the scales (and minimins) keep me accountable, at the moment I'm feeling relatively erm...*thinks of a word to describe the feeling* ....(could take a while) ...resumes thought....feeling relatively at ease, that is to say I'm not fretting about putting any on and feeling...

Hope you're sleeping well Dukan Warrior :D... fingers crossed for a decent weigh in, nice to see you back on the Dukan wagon if only so I can steal your food plan ideas :D xx

well they say first impressions count ;) obviously Mr Ellie likes to be treated mean ;) :D hehe xx

The compliments are nice :) I think I'm becoming more difficult to please with age though...my laundry list is getting longer :D x

Haven't seen any creeps yet (give it time)...but do find I'm either very picky or.....well....the calibre was lacking a bit....:confused: x

one out of three aint bad healthy, wealthy wise :rolleyes: x

WOWSER!! Well done Han :) x

looking good :) - keep at it x

Hey Sander Welcome back, I'm sorry to hear about your Mum and Dad, I lost my Mum suddenly last year to Cancer and basically I ate everything in sight I could get my hands on for comfort and also lots of takeaways for convenience as I was too down and depressed to cook. I hope you have people...

How goes it Lady P? :) x

Lovin' the little black dress countdown, you can so do this :) xx

I always remind myself that on the worst of weeks I'd spend £45 on takeaway (3 takeaway nights) so anything bought for the diet is pocket money in comparison :)

Amazing description of an amazing time Collette :) very inspiring and uplifting to do something so positive xx

I try and consider STS as consolidating the weight lost already :) sometimes it helps x

Beckstar does it again ;) you are my inspiration!! xx

Becky's ok :) x

WOOOHOOO :) glad to have you back hun, what made you get your mojo back? xx

None of this dieting malarky is easy when we're under the weather, your cough gone yet Trudy? x

How do you make the muffins hun they look nice :) as does the rest of the food :) "blackened salmon"?

no news from asda for me yet...:) will let you know when x

It's so nice I'd wear it :D lol x

keep an eye on this locally ladies and even if you don't use the quark, think of your fellow dukaneer who might ;) we need pester power x

Morning Beckstar ;) x

I agree with DNF, that's totally inappropriate behaviour (pretty sure you can take them to a tribunal for such stuff) get well soon honey x
