Oh well - stayed the same this week but considering the amount of birthday cake I've eaten it's a miracle!!! God help me in the next few weeks with the Costco mince pies!!!!!

Hi Sididd - another 1lb off this week - just haven't had time to change my profile!!! It was my sons 18th today so we've been out celebrating!! Had a party at the weekend so it's been a bit of a food fest!!! I shall do my best to knuckle down again but there is too much birthday cake lying...

You've had a rough time of it but stick with the plan and that will give you your confidence back - keep strong xx

1lb off - better than on!!! onwards and downwards!!

Ha ha ha!!!!!

Saw it last night - still makes my heart jump - memories of the boys when they were small and all the excitement!!!! Love Christmas!!!!

Wow Carole - 6lbs off that's amazing - well done you!!!

2lb off this week - onwards and downwards - Holidays are coming!!!!!!

Back on track this week thank goodness with a loss of 4lbs this week. My clothes are beginning to get baggy now and I'm enjoying trying on clothes I haven't worn for years!!!!! Do you think I could do another stone by Christmas??

Halloween Party - Mrs Lovett at your service!!!!! Hubbie went dressed as Sweeney Todd - he was never going to look like Johnny Depp - more's the shame!!! but we had such a laugh with our friends!!!

Not a good week!!! - put 2lbs on but realistically it could have been a great deal more. Halloween is always a BIG celebration in our house and we had a party at home last Saturday and I enjoyed myself but on Monday I still couldn't get back into Dukan and with cakes, chocolates and dips still...

Well after 2 months on Dukan I've said 'Goodbye' to 2 stones - can't believe it!!! people are beginning to notice which makes it so much more worthwhile than just looking at the scales!!! Halloween Party this weekend so it may stall a little bit but I don't care - I know now that if I get back...

Ha ha ha!!!!! Will do xxx

Oh bum!!!! put 1lb on this week - can't say I'm suprised as I had a lovely weekend with friends who I've not seen for ages but it's made me all the more determined for next week - fingers crossed!!!!

Thanks for that Carole - I shall ask one of the doctors at work tonight but it makes sense to me - I'll let you know x

Well done Carole - you're doing fantastic!!!!!

Well much to my suprise I've lost another 3lbs!!! - I say that because I fell off the wagon at the weekend - well I say 'fell' but 'fell' indicates it was some sort of accident but it wasn't an accident it was a planned exercise!!!! it was only down to alcohol but I sooooooo needed a little...

I was thinking that might be the case but I'm up to date with my smears but this is so abnormal for me

This is a little off plan but I'm wondering if there's anyone who can advise me. I started my period 12 days ago - I'm usually 'on' for 5/6 days at the very most but today is day 12 and I'm exhausted. I keep thinking that I'm stopping and then a few hours later I'm bleeding again. This is my...

Don't believe that for one minute Sid - you walked into Ann Summers - you're a star!!!!!

Me too - that's half the problem!!!!!

I'm actually having a little treat - an ice cold Bacardi & caffeine free diet coke but only the one - going down very nicely thank you!!!!

well done Carole - you're doing fantastic!!! I agree with you -this diet is so easy to follow, no complicated rules, no weighing, no counting - my sort of diet!! keep up the good work!!

weigh in number 5 and another 3lbs off!! had a bad weekend with this 48 hour tummy bug going round - kids had it as well last week so it hasn't been a very happy house!!! - anyway, back to eating properly again yesterday - 1 1/2 stones off now another 3 1/2 to go!!!!!

Holiday booked in Kefalonia next June!! Can't wait - another reason to stick to this diet

3lb down again this week so I'm still smiling!! on any other diet by now I'd be getting frustrated at the scales!! a friend at work has noticed I've lost some weight so that urges me on. My DH has told me I can book a holiday for next year for my 50th so that should definitely keep me on the...

Ha ha ha!!! There's a good chance that may happen!!!! Is that 'full fat' cocoa or an options type??

Feeling a tad hormonal!!!!! - it's TOTM time soon and I've got the urge to eat lots of chocolate - any ideas of what I can do to curb it???

Weigh in no 3 and I've lost 5lbs this week!!!! - quite chuffed with myself!!! Still convinced I'm not eating as much as everyone else but whatever I'm doing must be working so I'll carry on. Not eating carbohydrates has made me feel less bloated and I'm certainly not getting the hunger pangs I...

OMG!!! - just made oat pancakes and divided the mixture into 8 blini sized pancakes - spread with a little quark and topped with some smoked salmon - think I've died and gone to heaven!!! The only thing missing is a glass of cold fizz!!!

lost 1lb this week - I had hoped for more but I think working nights over the weekend may have mucked things up a little as although I've been able to keep to the plan I don't think I've eaten or drank enough but since I work permanent nights it will be something I'll have to get used to. Any...

Back from the Lakes after my one night away - tried to keep to the plan as best as possible and don't think I did too badly - now to knuckle down and truly get into this cruise phase. PP today - back on nights tonight for the weekend so hopefully will get my head round it all!!

Off to the Lakes today just for one night. Already looked at the menu at the hotel and I think I'll be OK for my first PV day but I've accepted I might slip a little - youcan't have a night away and no alcohol but I shall try and cheat as little as possible and be right back on the straight and...

Will do - how many can you per day?

Thanks Sid - I'm feeling quite chuffed with myself but I always worry that I will lose the momentum even though I know it's doing me good. I think I can stick to the plan because this past week has not been difficult but historically I fail past the first month - fingers crossed it will be...

Well 7 days of attack and I have just weighed myself and I've lost 10lbs:party0011:- hadn't weighed myself at all but knew that my jeans felt more comfortable. I was hoping for 7lbs so I'm very pleased. Had a bad day yesterday and the headache came back with vengance but it's not too bad this...

Thanks for that - think I have a plan now!!!

First question - not a lover of cabbage or spinach really - could I eat Brussels sprouts? They're like mini cabbages aren't they ;-))))))!!!!

Maybe I'll use them as a treat because they are so yummy!! Weigh in tomorrow so I'll be picking your brains about 'cruise'!!!!

Damn!!!! - thought I was onto a winner as they were fat free - shall go away and sulk!!!

Also bought some Muller fat free Greek yoghurt with vanilla and coconut - OMG!!! They're gorgeous - taste just like piña coladas but with out the rum but I guess that can be arranged ;-)))))!!!!!!

Bought some turkey rashers to have for breakfast - not too keen on them - very dry and processed. Are you able to have lean back bacon at any time on the plan?

Ooooooh!!! What a lovely thread - shall enjoy making some of these recipes

Thanks for that - I will have a look so that I'm well prepared for next week!!!

Thanks - will need some help to vary it I think - any ideas greatly received!!!!

Headaches gone thank goodness - couldn't have coped with that much longer!!! Had a very 'fishy' day B: grilled salmon & poached egg L: oatbran porridge made with skimmed milk D: fish platter with smoked trout, anchovies & prawns S: 0% total yoghurt with Splenda and drop of vanilla 2 cans...

That gives me hope then that the plan does work - here goes Day 3!!!

It's been a bad day really as my headache is really bothering me - I'm prone to headaches anyway but I've taken every pain killer I've got plus litres of water, tea and coke and it just won't shift - I realise that it's due to the withdrawing of carbs but if I've still got it tomorrow I may have...

Boy have I got a headache this morning!!!! Need to drink, drink and drink a bit more me thinks!!!!! Yesterday wasn't so bad - grazed on some prawns and had chicken for tea plus 3 cans of diet coke - plan to have the oatbran porridge, salmon and steak today, may have an egg as well!!!! Wish me luck x

Thanks Ellie for the warm welcome - have you lost all your weight on the Dukan diet? you've done so well - congratulations on such an amazing weight loss - I hope that I can do as well as you - what's your secret?

Thanks Tamara for that. I've only just sat down to get something to eat because I had the dentist this morning and I am only just beginning to get the feeling back in my mouth!! I've just made some oatbran porridge with skimmed milk and a heaped teaspoon of Splenda - it actually tastes quite...

Good Morning all - desperately need to do something about my weight as being overweight is making me ill now. Have done SW and WW is the past but I find both of them quite consticting really. I did Atkins years ago and lost quite a bit of weight but having read the Dukan book I'm hoping it's the...

Oops!! thought it wasn't going to be a good week and it hasn't been :(:( I've put on 3lbs this week so I need to get my butt into gear and get back on board 100%. Too much chocolate about and too little self control!!! I guess it happens to the best of us but it had taken me so long to lose the...

1lb off for me :D - another Easter miracle!!! I really did not expect to lose this week but I'm obviously quite pleased. Had 2 meals out in the week - first was at Viva Brazil in Liverpool - so that's a red day!!!! Loads of salad on the plate. I felt really good about having a meal out but not...

Hi everyone - a little disappointed with only a 1/2lb loss but I guess it's better off than on!!!! dreading Easter because there'll be too much temptation but one has to live as well I suppose!!!!!! Well done on everyones weight losses - it's truly inspirational reading this forum

Hi Everyone - sorry I didn't post yesterday but I've been working and didn't manage to get myself organised until now!!!! 1lb loss for me so I'm happy with that. Haven't been on the site since Wednesday so there's alot of catching up to do!!! you're a very chatty lot!!! Hope everyone is doing...

Lucozade is the recommended drink for diabetics when they have hypos as it quickly brings sugar levels up therefore sips of it don't do any harm and help to rectify an electrolyte imbalance - my children have all had it without any side effects but you must stick with what your happy and...

Let him have lucozade but it's quite fizzy so leave the top off the bottle a little while before you give it him and just let him take sips not huge gulps - hope he feels better soon xx

In my dreams I'd love to be 8 or 9 stone :roofles:!!!!! Good luck on the plan!

Well done Elaine on your 4lb weight loss - you must be really chuffed with yourself!!! Sarah - like to see that you have a problems with the wine fairies as well - I thought it was just me who could see them!!!! :crazy: I was on nights last night so I reckon my Mothers Day is tonight - now...

Happy Mothers Day everyone!!! Great to see the losses especially Honey 39 - you go girl!!!! 5 stone loss - well done!!!! and for those of you who didn't lose what you wanted just keep plodding away - you know it works, it's just not easy when you know you've been good and you don't see the...

Fab photos - you look amazing - what an inspiration you are!!!!

Just had salmon and a poached egg - yummy!!!!!

I was tempted to look at these in Tesco because they had no vanilla activia snackpots :eek::eek::eek: and I don't like muller vanilla - compared the contents with a muller and realised that the sugars were mega high so didn't buy any - glad I didn't!!! but I wish Tesco's would get their act...

Well done Blue Smartie on your fabulous loss - 5 stone!!!!! - what an amazing achievement - keep up the good work :D Well done Sum on your loss you must be really pleased!! I went out last night for my Mums birthday - Dad took the family out for a meal. I know that I've gone over my syns but...

PS - I'm fine today - thank you Sum and Honey 39 for the lovely messages - as you say bad memories but I'm well and they're keeping an eye on me so I shouldn't complain!!!

The hospital I work in has a Starbucks!!!! how's that for temptation???? Thank God I work nights:17729:

Not had a good day - had to have my yearly MRI this morning ( had a brain tumour removed 4 years ago ) the dye they use makes me so nauseous that I just feel the need to eat toast and lots of it!!!!!!! - I've avoided it up to now - I think it's more comfort food than anything - my husbands made...

Hi Loumag - welcome to the forum. I joined Slimming World on line so this forum is a lifeline for me - everyone is so helpful and full of good advice and tips. Good luck with your weight loss and don't be frightened to ask for help - we're a very friendly bunch ;)

Hi everyone - 1lb loss this week for me which is OK since I lost 4lb last week - desperately want to lose 1 1/2lb this week so I can get my 1 stone shiny. Everyone's done really well this week - The Missus you've done amazingly well - congratulations on getting your 3 stone shiny - maybe the...

I can do that - don't think there's much temptation in front of me this week - then again I'm off Saturday night so I may succumb;) - I'll give it my best shot though - on the other hand a bit of go go dancing never did anyone any harm!!!!!!!

Woman after my own heart!!!!!! That's made me laugh!!!!

OMG!!!:eek: I've lost 4 1/2lbs this week - was not expecting that!! had a sneaky weigh in during the week and I'd only lost 1/2lb so I wasn't setting my hopes up. Got one more night to do and all I eat on nights is fruit so I'm thinking this is what has speeded things up at the end of the week -...

Whatever you do don't give up!!! - we all have days when we feel crap but you'll get through it -everyone here will support you because we've all had days like that. The pill may slow your weight loss down initially but it will soon level out so carry on what you're doing 'cos you're doing...

LOL - You sound surprised!!!! Happy St Patricks Day!!!!! Bring on the Guiness!!!!

Good luck tonight - I'm sure it will be fine - have you done slimming world before?

I keep chickens at the bottom of the garden - 8 of them!! I shall go and have a serious word with them right now - I'm sure at least one of them can come up with a creme egg!!!! The words "in your dreams" comes to mind!!!!! I'll keep you updated :D

I've just had 2 slices of Nimble wholemeal with 2 poached eggs from my own chickens - can't beat it!!!!

EE day so I'm going to try and make a beef stroganoff - If I use fromage frais instead of cream it'll be syn free - won't it?? :confused:

Yum yum yum!!!! - I've just bought a packet of them today and wondered what the syns were so you answered that one for me!!!! I shall go and sit in the lounge with a cup of coffee and my curly wurly!!!

I've already preordered mine with Amazon - can't wait - kids think I'm bonkers!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Good luck!!! - we all have times when we just can't manage to stick to it but as long as you don't give up and get back on track again you'll be fine.

The last time I lost weight I swam a lot but I didn't keep it up and that is probably part of the issue why I've put weight back on again - most pools have students rates so give it a try because it really does help.

mmmmmm - oat so simple with splenda to sweeten and a chopped banana on top - great start to the morning!!!

I love sushi to so I must syn up some selections - like Maypole, my bag resembles a mobile fruit shop most of the time with apples and bananas and also blueberries that I keep in a little plastic bowl - when they're sweet they're better than chocolate!!!!!

I resisted a tin of Marks and Spencers posh biscuits - sitting there on the nurses station with everyone helping themselves - how I managed to walk away and not touch one I'll never know!!!!:D:D

I've heard that women who are pregnant can have more sins and extra HEA's but I've never heard about larger people getting more syns.

I think I'm in the right place now!! Just found this thread - I feel really at home now!!! Lost 2lb yesterday - so that's 7lb in 2 weeks so all seems to be going well:D. Just done 3 nights and I've managed to get through it just eating free foods - bearing in mind my normal food on night duty...

Good for you - what an inspiration you are!!! Are you renewing your wedding vows??

Congratulations:D:D:D - can't think of a better feeling than a size 12 dress that fits!!! good for you - well done!!!!

Well done!!!! - told you it would be OK - that will spur you on - well done!!!

I agree!!!! :D

I'm having spinach, tomato and red pepper cannelloni - 5 syns on EE plan - quite looking forward to it - not sure that hubbie is but nevermind!!!!!

Good luck Davey - hope it goes well - if I can do it - anyone can!!

Well I'm quite chuffed with myself!!!:D - first weigh in and I've lost 5lb and it really wasn't that hard - I've enjoyed all the fruit and have managed to get by without any major urges for chocolate - can't be bad!!! Does anyone know, because I'm doing SW online, is there anywhere you can buy...

Thanks for that - I'm determined to give my best shot this time as my health is being effected.

Started SW diet last Sunday - 27th Feb. I've done it before and lost 2 stones but that was about 4-5 years ago. I found classes difficult to attend as I work night shifts so I couldn't always attend tha same class every week so I'm now doing it online - I'm so pleased that I've found a forum so...
