Exercise seems like the way to go. I might cut back on the skinny lattes too ;) Exercise can be daunting for me because of how unfit I am more than how self conscious I would feel. I was thinking of getting the Active2 thing for the PlayStation. Or a cross-trainer for the house. I am a stranger...

Oh I haven't updated this in a while! Well, still powering through but weight is STILL 11st 12lbs!!! I promise I have been a saint and I can't work out why things are not moving. I would say that my jeans are a tad looser but now I'm starting to think I'm imagining it. Must say, not going to the...

Sorry people I know it's late, but have an Xmas dinner with some friends tomorrow and hope I don't over do it! I'm feeling very motivated and have no intention of cheating so with any luck will manage with some turkey and veggies and the odd glass of wine. Will check in with how it went. Wish me...

11st 11lbs today. Think I'm going to struggle to get to 11st. 5lbs by the 17th though! Nevermind as long as it's going in the right direction!

Morning people. Weighed in at 11st 11lbs today. That's 2lbs off since my last check. Yay!

Things going well, no cheating, feeling very good about the control I have over my hunger too. Unfortunately it's TOTM as of today (I knew the weight loss didn't see right!) and I know my body loves holding onto water at this time. Will probably weigh in on Wednesday or Thursday when he...

That's amazing. Well done :D

You are totally right. I am motivated and I'm gong to do it. Thanks for the kick up the backside! :)

Hahaha oh well glad i'm part of the gang then. I confess, on PV day I have been making chilli, with tomatoes. I have had a salad or two but tomato seems t be the easiest option as you can store it in the cupboard too. I'll try to eat more salad then. Or maybe some broccoli or cabbage? With baked...

Hi Joanne. Well I think I'm doing OK but, (and I hate to bring it up) the "transit" issues I am having are making me feel awful. My stomach is really bloating and I know that I am putting more food in than is going out. I am wondering if this if affecting my weight on the scales too? Any advice...

Aaaahh. I thought I was just missing something! Confusing...

Thanks Laura, I won't give up. :)

Hmm. Feeling a bit down today. After dropping to 11st 13lbs the other day, my weigh in this morning for the end of Attack is 12st 1lbs. A loss of just 4lbs for 5 days on Attack, not 6lbs afterall. I really thought Attack would deliver more than that. I won't give up but I would be lying if I...

Yay, I get to upload an avatar. I would upload one of myself but I really don't feel confident enough at the moment. So, I hope no-one minds if I use the wonderful and beautiful Marylin, one of my idols! Good night everyone.

Well, moving onto Cruise tomorrow woo! Will weigh in first thing to see how much I have lost on Attack.

SammyE oh I didn't notice that! Woo! :D

Thanks Laura, I'm moving onto Cruise on Monday (yay!) so might give it a shot.

Thanks people. Sorry I feel rude when I don't reply to each person individually but it's too hard to keep track of who said what lol! I think that perhaps I might claim poverty and buy my own drinks, hence keeping out of the round system and I can just get diet coke and tell people it's a...

Hello again everyone. Gosh thanks for all of that advice! I can see why these places really keep people motivated. Well you'll be glad to hear that I'm still OK with cold meats, had some sliced beef and cottage cheese for lunch today and some beef mince with chilli powder and more cottage...

Sorry to bring it up again but I'm still hopeful that soya can be incorporated in some way for me because I really love it! In particular, Tesco do their own Meat Free Vegetarian Mince which is far superior to Quorn mince in my opinion. I also love Quorn Chicken Style Pieces. Has anyone...

Hi Sharon, thanks so much for the lovely welcome! Only on my second day of my diet (I know, what a mad time of year to start!) and have lost 2lbs. I really am motivated. Your weight loss is very inspirational, well done and I wish you continued success. Can't wait to see what I can achieve...

I didn't want to ask this but... On social occasions or those times when you just can't avoid it, what alcohol will have the least detrimental effect on my Dukan efforts? Xmas work night out will be happening very soon and I don't really want my colleagues to know I'm dieting. What's the best...

Well it's my second day on Attack. I weighed this morning (I'll weigh in every day of Attack) and after my first day I have dropped 2lbs. Yay! Had a very unsuccessful day today, not because I cheated, quite the opposite. I couldn't work out what to have for lunch on the go so went the entire...

Thanks Vickki. :D

Anja, baked custard - sounds amazing! I assume that sugar free jelly is ok then? I'm scared to deviate from anything in case I mess up!

Thanks Mary, best of luck to you too! ;)

Hi scrumper I was never sure of those yogs as I'm sure they state that they contain sugar? Well if they do no harm I'm up for it. Thanks for letting me know! Very excited that everyone is have such luck with Dukan, I'm very hopeful. Congrats on your weight loss! Jet, thank you so much, crazy...

Many thanks Irene.

Hi Anja, many thanks for saying hello to me. Yes I do have the book now. Still trying to get through the "science" stuff, but I have already lost the battle of temptation and skipped right to the Attack part! I'm finding I quite like the way the Dr writes, finding it answers some questions that...

Gosh look at how I spelled "Attack" haha! Joanne, yes I have oatbran and looking forward to eating it! Forgive me but I was so stupid, yes doing Attack for 5 days. I don't know why I thought it was 7! I'm in Edinburgh by the way. And thanks for the warning about "slowed transit"...;) Tara...

Aaaah you are not wrong! I have the worse body shape ever, with an enormous amount of flab/skin on my stomach. Even at my lowest weight, it doesn't go away. I will definitely be needing surgery, which saddens and scares me but there is no point in changing my weight just to be left with an ugly...

Hello everyone, had a look over this thread and can't believe how well everyone is doing! I am a complete newbie, but I have my work Xmas night on 17th December too and would very much like to lose a stone by then. I'm currently at 12st 5lbs. Mind if I join in?

Thanks Chelle!

Well, I have had a look around and am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information on this site! Not knowing where to start, I am following advice given to another newbie and starting a diary. My stats are: Start Weight: 12st 5lbs Current Weight: 12st 5lbs Goal Weight: 9st 7lbs...

Hi everyone I'm Harley, my start weight is 12st 5lbs, I'm 5ft 4" and 29 years old. My Goal Weight is 9st 7lbs so that's a whopping 40lbs to lose by 11th April 2011. Started today and I chose to eat low carb. I'm dreading Xmas and the weight I will no doubt put on, so I'm doing something...
