After being a bit disillusioned last week with a 1lb loss I am now over the moon with a 5lb loss this week. Am feeling ao much better now clothes are not so tight and am starting to squeeze in some things that had been relegated to the back of the wardrobe. I think the best thing I did was to...

I usually have my weigh in on Saturday morning but my CDC is away this weekend so it's postponed til Mon morn so I have a couple of days grace. I really hope I see a decent loss this week. I'm going to look at a local gym on Sunday with my daughter. I'd like to start going to one. I've tried...

Hi Teresa. Bet you can't wait for you holiday. It will be lovely having a good reason to buy some new clothes. Bit disappointed as only lost 1lb this week. I did have a bit of a blip on the course as we were expected to have lunch together so both days I just has 2 quarters of sandwich with ham...

Hi Teresa. You're right you shouldn't have to explain yourself especially when you're quite happy to have your products and am not particularly tempted by what's on offer. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. Have just had a couple of eggs with veg and actually feel quite full now. I also have a...

How's it going? Did you manage to start again? I also feel tired some days and other days I'm full of energy...it doesn't seem consistent. I like the days when I get up full of beans. I have taken measurements and have lost a few and also getting into some clothes easier now so I know...

I know what you mean....I am pleased that I've lost a stone in a month but my loss has been 5lbs, 4lbs, 3lbs, 2lbs whereas some people still maintain losing a few pounds most weeks. As I haven't cheated at all I feel that to be on 800 calories a week I would expect to lose more than 2lbs as I...

Hi MsM. Les Mis was great. Had WI Today & lost 2lbs. Would like to see larger weight losses if I'm honest but have now reached my 1st stone so am heading in right direction. How are you doing? x

3lbs off at WI today. Must do 2lb this week to get to a stone

Hi I'm still here and plodding along with the diet. My daughter is home for a few days from uni so I've not been on here. Mostly because she commandeeres my laptop to save her bringing her one back. All is still going well. Had a couple of days when I was a bit peckish but convinced myself that...

Hi. How did the walk in the snow go? It's quite deep here now so haven't ventured out at all. I'm surprised at how motivated I still am on the diet. I'm usually losing interest by now. I found difficulty with slimming world and WW. Although I lost weight I found it seemed to take over my day...

Wishing you lots and lots of luck with WW. Had my 2nd WI today and lost 4lbs so well pleased with that. Would be good to lose 5lbs by next Saturday as that would be 1st in 3 weeks

Evening. Unfortunately the new blender hasn't arrived. Apparantely it has to be signed for. Delivery driver has tried to deliver it twice. he leaves his mobile number on the delivery card then doesn't answer it on the 6 times I,ve tried to ring it. If I'd known it was going to be this much...

Hiya Hairdresser came last night so that was nice and easy as we just chat for England so no time to think of food. I also ended up not having my meal as by the time she went I couldn't be bothered so just had my last shake of the day. Before Cambridge if I couldn.t be bothered I would still...

That's a brilliant weight loss. Very well done. You must be over the moon. I've cracked the 2 litres today. Not going to pretend it was easy cos it certainly wasn't, particularly with the cold weather...but...I did it. Just got to try to do it every day now. Had a really bad night's sleep last...

Good Morning. Had quite a good weekend on diet. Feeling much better now and no problems on diet at all except the poxy water which I haven't done too well with..again!!. But today's another day and I've downed 500ml in the last hour. I've got little bottles of it everywhere in the hope I can do...

So sorry to hear you had a bad day. I guess we have to expect them tho as we're only human. It's great if you've been able to get on track tho. My CDC said that the more water we drink the greater the weight loss will be. Not done at all well on that today tho despite my resolution. I feel cold...

I hope you're feeling chirpier today. It has got me down at times and I think this weekend will be a bit of a test. Had my weigh in and have lost 5lbs. Am happy with that and am going to really go for the water intake this week. Also have got a couple of the soups to try

I wasn't sure about mixing it. There were a couple of evenings this week where I was a bit later in and would quite happily have just had a shake. Having said that I do quite enjoy the "meal" I finely chop up a spring onion and sprinkle it over it to give it a bit of flavour. I'm a bit stuck...

I'm glad it's not just me. I keep thinking there must be a simpler way but I haven't found it yet

Evening all. Just in and having fish and cauli. Don.t think I've drunk enough today. It's been really cold so not fancied the water much. Hope you managed to get the Dominoes out of your mind

That's a great loss...well done

Good Morning...just off to work. Thought I would have to scrape my car bur it's ok so that's a good start. Hope you have a good day x

I pay £39.90 for 21 products regardless of what I choose. Definitely think I'm over the worst. {hopefully anyway} Life doesn't feel quite so obssessed with food and didn't feel at all hungry yesterday. I must admit I do enjoy my small dinner at night and look forward to that...just doesn't take...

Good Morning I like the vanilla shake the best. Fruits of forest and choc mint are nice too. I take the ready shake to work as they're convenient. I prefer the ones you make to the ready made ones if I'm honest but I've not found any I really hate tho I've only tried a few flavours so far. Am...

Am doing weLL too. Just watching Claire Richards slave to food {between reading what's happening on here!} X

Hi Jo I started on Sunday and the first 2 days for me were the worst. Am now on day 4 and feeling pretty good. I have only had shakes...not tried anything else but I have a shake in the morning, tetra at lunch, "meal" about 6pm then last shake during the evening. It seems to be going ok. I...

Hi. I found day 1 & 2 hardest. I'm on day 4 today and woke up feeling good and that's continued all day. It's strange how it's different for all of us isn't it

Good luck with the weigh in x x

Will look forward to hearing about your weight loss x x

It's been a long day today but I think I understand what people have been saying about suddenly feeling good. I suddenly felt quite energetic from when I got up...had a reasonable night's sleep also so perhaps the worst bit is over. Let's hope. I didn't realise CDC's did home visits. Mine only...

I'm suprised at how much I am enjoying the basic food. I do love cauli so am happy to have that most nights. I didn't realise about the breath freshners. My CDC said to use them or sugar free gum in moderation. I'll just use it if I'm seeing someone I want to impress!! I decided to have a bath...

Mental note to self. When having a relaxing bath with a magazine, remove the rubbishy pamphlets from inside the magazine first or you end up spending half your time fishing out the soggy mess!

That's a brilliant loss. You must be over the moon. My weigh in is Saturday. Hope I can stay good...doing ok so far

No problems I know what you mean tho I have also been reading so much on here.

Hi Chrissy. Hang onto that photo as it's the last one that you'll feel like that about. You'll be able to compare it with the next one to show people how well you've done

Hi Eleda. I'm pleased your Day One went well. I'm now on day 3 and have been quite surprised at how it's gone. I'm not missing the milk, bread etc as much as I thought I would. I have been hungry at times but have found a black coffee has helped to curb that when needed

Back from work and on here to keep me motivated while waiting for fish to cook. Sorry to hear you had a bad night msMJC. I hate not sleeping as I end up feeling sorry for myself as I think I must be the only one in the whole world who's awake. I know this is extremely unlikely tho. I'll have to...

Good morning. I also have the sports bottles. I didn't realise that you also counted the coffee etc that you have during the day. I had 3 black coffees yesterday so I can officially say I had over 2 litres!!. I would like to try other drinks but I'm not keen on black tea. I bought some...

Well done on that huge weight loss x

Wishing you lots of luck.....hope you have a better day today x

Had a brilliant night's sleep last night, no getting up and slept right through. Even had a few more minutes as don't have to allow time to make breakfast and packed lunch. Fairly busy day planned at work so hopefully that will help. Mean to try harder with the water intake as well. Off to make...

Hiya. We'll keep pushing til we get there. I start at 14 st 6 lb. I've set target for 11st initially tho I know I will need to set another target after that. Am only 5 ft 2 inches but the wrong side of 50 so not sure i can get as far down as what my ideal weight should be x

I think I might be able to get to 2 litres before bed. I don't usually have to get out of bed at night but I had a bad night tossing and turning last night that it wouldn't really have mattered if I had needed to get up. I feel like I'm posting on everbody's thread on here tonight but it's...

I only started yesterday but I had a bad night. It's horrible isn't it, tossing and turning then being in a deep sleep when it's time to get up. I guess we can't expect to change our eating habits so drastically without it causing a few hurdles along the way

Well Done:o

Great Start. Reading all these good losses is helping to keep me motivated

We can all do this. One of the reasons I started now {apart from it being new year} is that I don't have any Birthdays, holidays etc in the forseeable future. That doesn't mean I will be staying in like a hermit but hopefully the temptation won't be quite so intense. Good luck with the journey...

I never thought I would enjoy chicken and a morsel of cauliflower but I actually did. I'm glad I decided to keep an element of food in as I do actually look forward to having "dinner" Think I may have failed miserably on SS. I think you might be right about the flavourings. I'll have a word with...

Well Done Kim...when is your weigh in?

Wishing you lots of luck. Let us know how the weigh in goes x

Good luck. I'm new to this too x

Just waiting for my chicken and cauliflower to cook. I feel like on the whole I'm doing ok. Felt liked I ached all over earlier and did give in to a couple of paracetomol as I was at work. Probably would have coped with it a bit better at home but am over that now and feel ok. I'm failing...

Hiya Meeting with CDC waas fine. She only lives up the road and seemed really nice. My weigh in day will be Saturday. Can I ask what is slim & save and how do you do it with cambridge?

Thank you Kim Had a bad first night...feels like I haven't slept much at all. Was in a deep sleep when alarm went off so have struggled to get up. Felt hungry and rough during the night. Nipped onto scales this morning and am down 2lbs...not bad for one day tho my scales probably shouldn't be...

Hi I started today and feeling positive so far....tho not too keen on this heady feeling. Could also do with some buddies to keep me on the straight and narrow on my less positive days

Hi I've just started today and am feeling a bit shaky now. I haven't quite managed all the water I should have had but I think if I have some now I'll be up in the night going to the loo then I'll be awake thinking of food so am going to make sure I try harder with that tomorrow. It's good to...

Hello Everyone :wave_cry: Having tried every diet imaginable I am determined this will be the last one I ever do { There probably aren't any more left for me to move onto that I haven't already done anyway}. Most diets work for me initially quite well but I lack the staying power. Day One has...

Thank you I'll give that a try

Hi. I've tried to make the pepper steak twice now and each time the sauce has curdled tho I've warmed it really slowly. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Just realised I've put this in the diary thread instead of the general one and have no idea how to move it.... Sorry!

Just a quickie, I've lent the book to a friend for a couple days and had salad with beetroot last night but seem to vaguely remember that beetroot was limited in cruise phase , or is my memory playing tricks again. I had 2 very small beets but now concerned that I may have overdosed on it. Does...

I have done both and I did lose weight on SW about 21lb but I didn't keep it off and put it all back + an extra stone. I much prefer dukan as there are no extras and you are clear on what you can and can't have . I think I needed to cut the carbs rather than have them on certain days to get...

I was in the habit of hopping on the scales every 5 mins but I find it a bigger motivation to fit into clothes I've not being able to for ages and being able to go upstairs without getting so breathless. The scales have now become of secondary importance. Really I wish I'd done my measurements...

For the last few days have been taking a yogurt to work in my lunchbox every day and haven't wanted it so have bought it home with me. Today I decided not to bother to take it and .....guess what...I felt hungry all afternoon! A SF jelly did not make any difference nor my bottle of diet coke...

Work has been exceptionally busy recently.... we usually function on 8 staff but some days have been down to 4, so work/home life balance has been very uneven. On the plus side, I now have quite a bit of time off owing to me which I shall b taking fairly soon and we're back to working normally...

It's been a while since I wrote on here. Have been having a nose tonight as to what everyone's been doing so thought I'd better update things. All is going really well..never thought I'd still be enjoying the food so much. Just been doing my shopping list for my usual Thursday shopping trip...

Hi. Has anyone had any luck finding low fat bouillon cubes, i can;t see them anywhere. If not what do people tend to use instead. Would like to try a soup but they mostly use the cubes. Thank you

Well last night went much better than I thought. Chicken{no skin } with veg and small boiled potatoes which I managed to completely avoid as it was a case of help yourself. Afters was jelly and any flavoured yogurt or icecream so I managed that ok with a natural yog. Only thing I'm not sure...

That's a good idea.... to have something beforehand. I only see this friend about once every 3 months so it feels a bit mean to come across as being too "fussy" re what she cooks

Weighed in at exactly 13 stone this morning which is an 8lb loss so far. Hopefully next weekwill be able to say I'm 12 stone something. Its a much bigger incentive to me that clothes are fitting better than what the scales tell me tho. I've got some lovely clothes that I'd love to wear again...

Been a really busy weekend so didn't get on here as much as I would have liked. Bought a new car as mine finally gave up the ghost so that was exciting. Picked daughter up from uni with oodles of washing. Went over to cruise after 6 days on attack and all is going well. Have decided to do 1/1...

Didn't weigh myself this morning...just plain forgot. Breakfast - scrambled egg and smoked salmon Lunch - chicken/mayo, galettes, crab sticks Dinner - steak and mince with onions Feel like I'm really getting the hang of this now. Been to Asda with my prepared list and enjoyed shopping for...

Yes definitely Dukan friendly

Still doing fine. Didn't lose any weight today but am ok with that as lost more than expected in first couple of days. Breakfast....scrambled egg {2 whites, 1 yolk } + a tiny bit of smoked salmon Lunch .....chicken in mayo + gallettes + yogurt Dinner.....Steak + Minced beef Probably didn't...

Good morning. Are the danone actimel fat free ok to have does anyone know?

:wave_cry: Hello. This is the first time I've ever written on anything like this so am going to give it a go. I started the dukan diet on Sunday and so far it's going well. Tonight is the first time I've felt a bit hungry and washed out. Having real problems sleeping the last couple of nights so...

Thank you for your replies. Am working on my profile now. Hoping to stay on the attack phase til Friday/Saturday. I definitely needed to plan for this and am pleased I got the book and did a proper shop before starting. I will do the same prior to moving onto the next stage. Am going to have a...

Hi just started Dukan. Lost 6lbin 2 day so am well pleased. Having real problems sleeping tho. Does anyone know if this is usual? Thank you
