One more night shift to go... I found some ham at the spar down the road so that's been good. Tomorrow, proper stock up at a different supermarket :) Yesterday : 2x eggs, 2x yoghurts, oatbran, 4x salmon filets (emergency supplies out of the freezer) Today (so far) 1x yoghurt some ham and some...

Yes, I was planning to cycle along the river but my friend had a seat in her car so that was okay :) Sounds yummy! I love lentils... and chickpeas.. yum :) I'm in the middle of night shifts, just went to stock up at the supermarket and the refridgerated section is all defrosting due to a...

Travels have been amazing! I love living here and being able to pop to Europe so easily :) Next up... Czech Republic, Spain and Ireland.

Thanks Anjuschka :) We had lunch in the end but I got a chicken salad and just ate the chicken so I think I'm okay. We went to the Orchard Tea Rooms in Grantchester, do you know it? First time I've been there, it was very nice! Went for a walk along the river :) Yes, I see the strikes...

Breakfast... chicken breast with spice and cottage cheese. Cupboards stocked with millions of yoghurts and good old tesco 3 for 10 pounds chicken. Off for a coffee with my lovely friends.. black coffee no sugar is okay I'm thinking.

Hi everyone, My first attempt at dukan was a few months ago and went really well for a while... until I went to France, and Turkey, and Amsterdam (all amazing!).. anyway I did loads of travelling and all my good intentions completely went out the window! I did maintain my initial loss for a...

thanks! :) I wore a baggy t shirt practically into the water :D I probably drew more attention to myself doing that than if I just went in like normal!

I thought tuna in a can in water is alright? I have some for emergencies!

I have a gym membership and there's a pool in the gym. I LOVE gym classes and had a great gym at home with loads of classes, I really miss it :( My gym here is good too but it doesn't do many classes so I find motivation a bit trickier. However, I forced myself into the pool this morning for the...

Yum! Bet it was delicious. I'm looking for recipes to adapt :D

I'm totally keen to try shepherd's pie with swede now :)

Thanks dukandebut and Emmma :D No, not down a size yet but everything is much looser and I can see the changes, even in bra size which is awesome :) And my trousers keep nearly falling down at work which is a good (but annoying) sign! dukandebut, thanks so much for the advice! I'm doing some...

I like the idea of adding in a trip to Brussels. I prefer to use public transport, not that confident with driving in Europe. I am trying to do things reasonably cheaply as I want to visit a lot of places this year :) But I prefer to stay in hotels where I can over hostels, I have had some less...

Oh, and I got my first "Have you lost weight" comment the day before yesterday, love it :)

Can't wait! I'm really looking forward to this summer :) I have a lot of travel plans already :D I'm down another kilo or couple of pounds so 93.5 kg this week. And I'm on HOLIDAY :) I have two weeks off.. I'm thinking France? Any recommendations of where to go appreciated... I've got a book...

Hi fattea! Good luck, I'm really new to it too but these guys are great at giving advice :)

Oh, nice I love the idea of watching the morning sunrise :) Do you know when daylight savings will start? Then maybe I can come home without the bike lights... PP today: B - Galette (worked this time) with muller vanilla yoghurt L - some ham, sugarfree jelly D - Salmon on the grill, yum :)...

No, no weight loss to report this week, trying to stay away from the scales, once a week is enough! Otherwise I suspect I may get a bit too obsessed ;-) Kids are amazing, they haven't lost the ability to eat as much as they need and no more, very enviable. Good day today I think, busy one at...

Hey guys, thanks heaps for the advice! I understand that even a small slip can cause big problems with this diet, I'll try to be more careful in future. Been a super busy week! I had a great day though, had a bunch of people round to mine for lunch, made some Dukan friendly stuff and some...

Okay, thanks for your advice :) I'll try to get back on track.. I have a bottle of water next to me and I'll go to the gym in the morning.. hopefully that will do the job. Anja, thanks for the tips I'll try them, I like cherry tomatoes and cucumber so definitely will keep a supply of them...

Oh yeah, the onken vanilla yoghurt got me! I totally thought that was fine for the whole first week :p Stupid kit kats. Good luck in the shops! I found that you notice ads for chocolate etc way more when on this diet, like the cadbury creme eggs are out now... I keep seeing them everywhere :P...

Thanks Emmma, I'm glad about the jellies! I completely caved in today unfortunately and ate a kit kat... its amazing what a difference it made to my mood! Really makes me understand how much I use food to self medicate. So... HELP please.. should I go back to attack again now that I've messed...

Hi Anniek, I felt tired and got a headache too when I did attack, so you're not alone there :) It eased up after about 4 days.

I have a Sony touch and I love it, its fantastic :) Definitely recommend the touchscreen option. I do loads of travelling and I have around 120 books (mostly free from Project Gutenberg as already mentioned) which is wonderful for long haul flights and even just putting in my bag and taking out...

Thank you :) I don't know why I'm jonesing for sugar so much at the moment! I normally crave a packet of chips or a burger so its a bit weird that I'm wanting icecream and chocolate. I finally managed to track down some wheat bran today, yay :) I have tons of it now. It was a good day for a...

Yes thanks, back to normal now :) Night shift lowers inhibitions though, I nearly got a chocolate bar.. but I resisted, quite happy about that now! Thanks so much, I just had a look and its a nice bike ride from my house to Kings Hedges so I'll go out there tomorrow (as long as its not...

Oh, totally, I think its amazing there aren't even any salads or anything in hospital canteens. At home we have healthy eating policies in a lot of the public hospitals and you can't even buy a can of full sugar drink unless you go outside the hospital. Even when we have leaving do's etc we're...

Thanks for the advice guys, Anjuschka I'm in Cambridge too so maybe I'll give the ASDA a go! I definitely want to find it because I'm keen as to try the muffin recipes that are on the boards :) I had a minor slip up today, thinking I was scheduled for a night shift but the roster had changed...

Hi Jaimek, I did the attack phase for 6 days and lost 4 kilos.. I have a lot to lose though from 100 kg starting point and 5'4 to start with... I felt really weird for a few days but after a bit you don't crave the carbs anymore, its pretty cool actually :) Let me know how you're getting on!! :)...

I've luckily always been a diet coke girl :) I walked through the baking section of Sainsburys just now looking for wheat bran (unsuccessfully) and those raspberry doughnuts smelled very nice.. but I didn't pick them up :) Very proud of myself, had a celebratory yoghurt for dessert :) Thanks...

Hey scrumper, wow, you're doing great :) oh, I'm totally with you, we can't give up everything! I'm the same, easily can drink three or four cans in a day... I am currently trying coke zero just for a change but I don't like it as much... maybe I'll give the pepsi a go? Thank goodness we're...

Yeah, I read that and put them back too! But if everyone on here reckons they're okay, I'm going to add them in.

Hey everyone :) I'm in week two now of the Dukan diet, going okay I think! I am 5'4" and started at 220 pounds, now down to 209 and hopefully heading to 165 :) I am a nurse, working shifts and I'm onto nights this week which may be an interesting challenge. I'm thinking doing the PP/PV days...

Hi, I'm into week two of the Dukan diet and just found this fantastic website! I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys especially anyone else on Dukan :) I'm a nurse, late 20's and having a great couple of years travelling in the UK. Best of luck everyone! :)

Hi letmeout! I started Dukan the same week as you, I've tried Weightwatchers before but found it difficult to keep track of all the points - okay, too lazy to keep track of the points maybe! I did 6 days of the Attack bit and lost 4 kg (from 100k to 96) and this week on cruise I'm down to 95...
