Thank you. I hope I do manage to sleep tonight. Maybe it's just my body adapting. Hope so. X

Good morning 123slim. I had the curry last night and that was thin too. Thought it was just the way I'd 'cooked' it! I haven't been hungry at all so far. I did drink 2 litres of sparkling water yesterday and 5 cups of green tea. Don't think there was too much room left to feel hungry lol...

Morning Toothfairy4. I'm sure we can help each other through this. Sounds like torture doesn't it? How was the turkey dinner? I've not tried it yet. Did it taste alright? x

Hello everyone. I started yesterday. Not quite sure what to expect. Need to lose about 5st. Am having my gallbladder removed in a month or so so need to lose as much weight as possible to make the op easier. Just ordered ketosis strips to see if what I am doing is right. I am drinking so...

Hi. I'm on day 2 too. Never done Exante before but need to lose about 5 stones. I've got to have my gallbladder removed in the next couple of months so decided to give it a go. Maybe we can spur each other on? Ordered some keosis sticks today so hopefully they arrive soon. Good luck to you. x

It's Friday, whey hey!!!!! Not having a good time with pain at the moment. The sooner I get this bloomin' gallbladder out the better :(. Took Tramadol last night and feel really light-headed today. I'm not really sure what I'll be eating for lunch at the moment but dinner will be bubble and...

I'm doing well thank you. Behaving myself for a change lol. x

That looks nice! x

Kay, the pasta was lovely. There was enough for four so another two portions leftover. Would it be really greedy to have a portion for lunch? I'll heat one and see how much I can eat. Having a boring day today. Got my fedup head on :sigh:. Will do my best to stick to plan so: EE...

Hi Kay. I do like my red wine, he he! Now only drinking on a Saturday evening, apart from when we are away. My friends can't believe it :innocent0002:. I'm hoping that the scales show another loss this week. I can't complain about 6lbs in 2 weeks though can I? It's a horrible day here too...

That's fabulous Kay. Very well done you. XX

Thank you Kay. We had a lovely time. I did try to behave (badly) lol. On Saturday on the way to Torquay we stopped in Brixham and went to W/Spoons. I had a skinny chicken breast burger with a glass of wine (oops). We had a trip to W/Spoons in Torquay after we checked in to the hotel and had...

It's been really good thank you. Been 100% every day which is not at all like me. I am going to have a few glasses of wine over the weekend but I'm not going to feel guilty as I've had very few syns this week. Back on the straight and narrow on Monday. Fingers crossed I'll have a loss. See...

Hoorah, I've got hot water and heating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolute bliss. That's the end of me burning calories due to the cold. Saying that, as we're going to Torquay tomorrow I might get cold, wet, both or blown away. It's been a really funny day today. I wasn't hungry earlier on and then...

Food looking good. Here's to a loss this week. X

You are a diamond. Thank you so very much. Guess what I'll be making next week lol. XX

That's fabulous. Thank you so much Systema. If it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd love the other recipes please. Will let you know how I get on. Love Alison. X

Back pain is awful isn't it! Hope it eases for you soon. I found acupuncture helped when I was suffering. I'm doing well thank you. First time I've been 100% for so many days on the trot lol. Might not be so good over the weekend when we are away though. Had a sneaky peek at the scales...

Hi, has anyone got a good veggie burger recipe please? I've tried various in the past but they always end up either soggy or they break up. Thanks in advance. Alison x

Where has the week gone? It's Friday tomorrow, whey hey. Only one more day until we go away!!! It's a really cold, snowy day here today so not a happy bunny. We've been without heating or hot water since last Thursday and I'm getting really fed up now. The plumber came yesterday to sort out...

Afternoon Kay. I've been reading your diary. How are you feeling today? Any better? X

Thank you very much. x

Morning All Well, it was another 100% day for me yesterday, hurrah! I think the consultant telling me that I was humongous and need to loose weight was the kick up the bum I needed. I'm going away for the weekend so probably won't be 100% alcoholwise but will be 100% foodwise. We are going to...

Hi. I'm new to Minimins but wanted to say very well done on getting your new award. Keep up the good work. Love Alison

Thank you Kay. Will definitely post my diary each day. I'll pop and have a look at your now. X

Good afternoon ladies/gentlemen. I hope you don't mind but I've come here as IVillage has closed and I really need to post my diary each day to keep me on the straight and narrow. I've been diagnosed as having gallstones and the waiting list is 4 months to have an operation to remove the...

Hi, not a recipe as such but was watching Jamie Oliver last night and he made coleslaw with a yogurt, mustard and lemon juice dressing. Maybe add a pinch of sweetener to the yogurt might take the bitter taste out. Jamie also put radishes into his coleslaw. It might be worth trying a spoonful...

You certainly are an inspiration. Keep up the good work. X

Hello girls. Sorry I haven't been able to reply before, computer problems :sigh:. I was doing really well with the diet until yesterday when I ate everything and anything in sight. I had a major need for carbs. Back to it today as I felt absolutely bloated this morning (serves me right hey?)...

Oh, you poor love. Good luck with the restart. Alison X

Hi. I had a look at this forum before I landed here. I didn't like the look of it so I'm here to stay. Sorry folks ;)

Thanks Scrumpter, I'll give it a go.

I only have to mention Dukan and people stare at me in horror. Thanks C4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone help with this please. I really fancy making some at the weekend/early next week and would love a good recipe. Thanks Alison

Hi, I'm new too. Started at the beginning of the week so we'll learn together. Good luck. Alison

Thank you Anja. Good advice. I really do need to up my dairy. I have got fromage frais, yogurt, cottage cheese and quark in the fridge, all virtually fat free - just need to eat it, lol! I have marinated chicken in yogurt (tikka) for dinner tonight so that should help. I always take a...

Sounds lovely. Roll on next week when I can give it a try! Alison X

Today's been a shopping day with mom. I always take her out on a Wednesday. We go into Solihull for a mooch and then to Sainsbury's. Anyway, here's today's menu: B: Yogurt S Skimmed milk capuccino L: Mussels and 2 poached eggs (strange combo I know!) D: Homemade burgers (small onion, chillies...

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind. Funnily enough I've just had some yogurt and put a bottle of water in the car. Alison X

Is this okay do you think for pp? B: none - didn't feel very well this morning L: my first galette with smoked salmon (very yummy) S: pickled egg D: chicken livers (fish I was planning to have had too many bones) S: yogurt Alison

:DYippee!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your speedy reply.

Oh, thank you. Sure you'll be seeing much more of me ;)

Morning all. Just a quick question, can I use either fresh or dried chilli flakes on PP? I really fancy making burgers and would like to spice them up a bit. Thanks in advance. Alison X

Brillian loss in 5 months MM. It can be done then. I'm off on my hols in June so want to lose as much as I can by then, phew!!!! Can I ask you why you switched from Dukan to Atkins? Alison X

Good morning girls. Thanks for the replies. I must admit I feel really rubbish this morning. I just couldn't face anything to eat as my tummy was gurgling away and started with a headache. I've taken your advice Maintainer and defrosted fish for tea tonight so will have a good look in my...

Thanks Emma. Will eat more tomorrow. Might go and have an egg or something in a minute! X

Thanks for the advice. How much onion would you say is okay? This bit confuses me but then again I'm easily confused ;) X

Hello all. I thought I'd best do a daily diary to keep me on the straight and narrow. Please feel free to make any comments, both good or bad as I'm still a novice. Here goes for Day 1 :D: Breakfast: FF yogurt with oatbran Lunch: FF cottage cheese with LF ham Dinner: Small cottage...

Thank you for your warm welcomes girls, it's much appreciated. Hope to get to know you all better in the coming weeks (or in my case years ;)). Had a lovely bath with Dr Dukan earlier so gradually getting my head together. Off for another glass of water now. See you all soon. Love A. X

You must be thrilled. Well done on such a fabulous weightloss. Alison X

Hi. Thank you both for taking the time to reply to my post. I've got both the basic diet book and the recipe book. I did have a dabble last week but kept being interrupted by commitments made previously so it's day one for me today. I think I should re-read the book to get things firmly in...

Hello. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Alison and have rather a lot of weight to lose. I decided to give Dukan a go as I've previously been 'messing' with Slimming World and getting nowhere fast. Any help or advice would be very welcome. Started today so wish me luck. Thanks ladies and...

Sounds like a lovely recipe. I'm new to this site and to the Dukan regime too. Just feeling my feet at the moment but will be dipping into this board for ideas. Think I'll make the frittata for tea tonight. Alison
