I'm not quite up to a cycle ride yet but have been managing my walk everyday and painted the garden wall today too. Can't wait to get to cruise, never wanted to eat a vegetable more! 3.5 pounds off so far!

Day three, woke up with no headache! Yippee! Also have more energy today, wouldn't say I was feeling 100% but massive improvement on yesterday. Can feel my appetite diminishing too. Breakfast; oatbran pancake with yoghurt Lunch; three roasted chicken thighs Dinner; sirloin steak and another...

Hi mummycupcake, it's so hard to know if you're eating enough/too much isn't it? At least you're not feeling bad! In the book dr d does say eat more than you normally do and eat before the hunger strikes, I suppose the scales will tell me if I'm doing it right! How much have you lost so far?

Have you been having your oatbran and water? And have you been for your 20 min walk every day? The only other thing I can think of is is it your totm?? That can make you retain water and weigh heavier.

Well, jumped on the scales this morning, 1lb 4oz off, felt awful today though, headachy, dizzy etc. Drunk plenty of water and managed a walk though. Hope by tomorrow I will be feeling the sense of euphoria and dynamic energy as promised by doctor d! Breakfast; oatbran gallette, 2 rashers of...

Thanks vixx, have a bad headache too, would love to take it easy but not that simple with a three year old. Will stick at it and think of the end result!

Hi, I'm on day two of attack and feeling very dizzy/lightheaded and almost nauseous. Is this 'normal'? Had oatbran galette for breakfast with turkey rashers and an egg so eating enough I think? Drinking my water too. Has anyone else experienced this. And will it pass? Don't want to give up!!

Hi mummy cupcake, I'm strictly following the book because if I listen to all the other 'new' info out there (tolerated foods etc) I'm just going to get confused! In the book Its as many eggs as you like, I doubt I'll have two everyday but I've been hungry today as I'm getting used to it!

Feeling like this is too easy! Would appreciate if some of you hardened 'dukaners' could cast an eye over my first days food diary just to make sure everything is ok. Felt a bit woozy/dizzy throughout the day but that's to be expected I suppose! Breakfast; oatbran porridge and a boiled egg...

Hi willbefabulousat26!! The chicken is marinading in lots of fresh herbs, lemon slices and garlic. Tried to be extra prepared by making the galette too but it was just a mess and had to be scraped into the bin! Porridge instead for breakfast! I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds, give or take a pound...

Right, well starting my first day on dukan tomorrow and can't wait to get going! Read the book, been shopping for all the foods I will need, boiled a couple of eggs, got some chicken marinading and a wine rack full of mineral water......bring it on!!

Hi all, well I'm not on the dukan diet yet, I'm just coming to the end of the book (want to do it properly!) and I'm a bit unclear about a few things and wondered if anyone could help me. After reading the book and then coming on this forum I'm confused about sweetener, in the book it says...

Spicy sausage and tomato pasta (red day) with a big salad.

I had a wardrobe clearout and found a pair of jeans I bought just before I got pregnant with my son. I hid them there because everytime I tried to get back in them I couldn't get them over my knees! They are 27 inch waist and today I got them on, all the way up and fastened! Couldn't move in...

Hi shirleen, I feel your pain. I had a migraine yesterday and it wiped me out for 6 hours, came on in sainsburys, had to abandon the shopping and call my husband to come and get me! Was the full works, blurred vision, speech etc, people must have thought I was drunk! I can never face anything to...

Isn't that what you're supposed to have anyway? That's what I've always done, I do red/green days but I believe extra easy is only 3 healthy extras.

Sweet chilli sausages with grilled tomatoes followed by blueberries and melon.

I'm looking forward to Tuscany in four weeks, more precisely I'm looking forward to going completely off an and thoroughly enjoying all the bread, pasta, olive oil and red wine!

Well I am a whopping 5ft 3!! Don't think 8 stone is realistic for me but would love to get to 8.5.... Not going to happen for a while if yesterday's antics are anything to go by, but it was bothers day so I figure I deserved it! Back on it today though, 100%.

Hi, another 9.8 here, started at 10.11 but would love to get to 9 stone, the weight I was before I got pregnant.....not sure if this is even possible! Would love to be in the 8's but daren't let myself believe it's possible! Red week for me this week, find I have better losses with them. What...

Morrocan Briout pastries with a huge Greek salad.....I like to mix up my cuisines!

Peggypig....I've gone over my blinking syns!!! But as I'm going for a curry tonight 5 more won't make a difference! Don't suppose you'd be willing to accept the blame for me eating a butter chicken, fried rice and a garlic naan too would you?!

Stuck to all meals i planned for the day with the addition of a freddo the frog (5 syns) also went to the pub but only had a diet coke. Made the chocolate silken mousse from the recipe thread.......absolutely vile! so didnt waste any syns eating it! Settled for a muller light instead.

Right, lunch today is a sausage sandwich (sainsburys BGTY) so 1 syn on 2 slices of WM bread (HE) with grated cheddar (HE) sounds too good to be true on a diet! Dinner tonight is marinading as i type, beef stifado again, love it so much, cant get enough of it! So that will make it a one syn day...

Right, I'm back on the bandwagon, not doing what I normally do after a blowout and just giving up on it. Onward and upwards! Monday: green day B: shreddies (he) and milk (he) L: jacket tater, cheese, beans and salad, muller light D: Jamie Oliver chicken tray bake (he for chicken) Snacks: 2...

Oh god, messed up bigtime. As predicted ate two fairy cakes AND a slice of birthday cake at the kids party. Then, went to an Indian restaurant in the evening, tried to be good and had half a veg biriyani (green day) but half a garlic naan and 3 glasses of red wine too! Eeeek! So mad at myself...

Saturday!!! Wasn't so bad last night, the magi so juicy was really nice and just had one can of 1 syn lager (thank god for that find) and a g&t.

Hi jaders! Thanks for writing on my thread, was beginning to feel all alone on here! Well, yesterday went a bit awry, still had jacket potato for dinner but with cheese and sweetcorn instead. As predicted, needed a gin and tonic, but managed to stick to only one (2.5 syns) and approx 6 syns...

Tuesday.......another green day today, got lots of last nights veggie lasagne leftover so thought it made sense. Got a real test of willpower coming up, having the kitchen and utility ripped out so going to be without a kitchen until at least saturday! any reccommendations for slimming world...

Monday, start of a new week and still going strong. Starting to feel like this is now a change of lifestyle rather than just a temporary diet im going to do until i lose the weight. Actually having a green day today. As a family we are adopting the 'meat free monday' as devised by Paul...

Oh, in other news, measured my waist today, 4 inches off it in just under four weeks, sometimes i find losing inches more satisfying than pounds!

Right then, friday night could have gone better but it wasnt too bad, had two gin and slimline tonics (5 syns) and a small glass of red wine (4syns) topped off with ten syns worth of fruit and nut, that took me to 22.5 syns.....not great but not too awful. Saturday, cant for the life of me...
