Ha ha. No explosions yet but it was close! Still have zero energy too buuuut.... I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 7 pounds!!! Yeay! Still don't feel like I'm in ketosis yet though-bit ropey today Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ah it happens. Don't beat yourself up too much about it. Id do a couple of days PP to get back into ketosis and drink oceans of water Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi ladies Another question on the yoghurt minefield! Asked a colleague to pick me up a vanilla muller at lunch and she brought me back the M&S Count of Us version instead. It’s obviously their copy-even the pot shape is similar – but when I looked at the ingredients it has fructose, rice starch...

So day two was tough. I was tired and irritable and so FULL. But anyway, ploughing ahead B: muller and mini muffin L: scrambled egg, quark and smoked salmon D: beef mince made into burgers with chilli and garlic with a Greek yoghurt dip S: oatbran ginger bikkie and mullet Drinks: not enough...

Hi there I know I'm still in Attack but I've done Dukan before and last time round I hit a spot just like this. I STS for a whole month. It was so depressing. But I went into conso and it was the best thing ever. The addition of a few new foods really helped with motivation and I continued to...

Thanks peeps I've dug out the pair of size ten jeans that I bought when I got to conso last time. They go as far as my knees at the moment but I WILL wear them again.

So. Dusting off the diary! It's so strange being back in Dukan. I won't lie-day one hasn't been easy. Induction Flu sucks but it's only 4 days of Attack and I've one Duden already It's funny though, yes u found it strange but at the same time I found it strangely comforting. Like slipping on...

Thanks all Well, stats updated. How depressing! So far so good today. I'm going to rehash the old diary and try post my menus each day. That was a great help last time Onwards and downwards ladies!!

Hi all Just thought I'd say hi- some people on here might remember me. I posted a good bit on here around this time last year. Had a very successful loss on Dukan but over the last 3-4 months I've managed to undo all that good work and then some. I can list a number of reasons (or excuses)...

Haven't used those exact ones but I've used the Flabelous (sp?) ones. I did kinda feel it but didn't see any noticeable toning. Saying that I only did 5 10 min sessions. Found them great for getting rid of stiffness after a hardcore bootcamp class though! Let us know how you get on-I've still...

Moved on to level two today. OH MY ABSOLUTE GOD. I thought I was going to die. The OH was in the other room and laughed out loud when he saw my big red face afterwards! But it feels more satisfying than L1 for some reason. And I'm actually able to touch my toes now when I do the stretches at the...

Well Day 3 Level 1: OW! My muscles were screaming today. Especially my thighs-god I hate lunges! Buy saying that, today felt like the first time I could actually do it properly. It was still hard but definitely better. I'm a bit more motivated now after that

Day 2, Level 1. Had to DRAG myself out of bed to do it this morning but I'm glad I did. Feels much better to do it in the morning when you're fresh rather than last thing in the evening. I felt like I could do more this morning. Feeling really motivated. Took my measurements too this morning...

You too nayomee. We can motivate each other-if say we'll need it!!! ?

Ooh do glad I found this thread! I've had the DVD loitering in my sitting room since Dec but finally took the wrapper off this evening. OMG! I really didn't expect it to be so hard! But I'm determined to do it every morning. If it hurts this much it has to work right?

I do this every year too and I'm sick of it. Finally got down to my "happy weight" last summer and felt great. I KNEW I was slipping and I KNEW I'd be sorry but first I was busy in work. Then it was Christmas and sure what's the point, I'd be good in January. But then, sure its my birthday first...

Thanks Jo. I was very pleased with myself! Back to being a good little Dukaner the last few days and the holiday weight is almost gone already. I'm on track to be back at my fighting weight by official Weighday on Saturday. I can't believe it! This is such a change from previous years for me...

Hi all Wow, can't believe it's three weeks since I posted-where does time go! Well, Operation Swim Suit was a success despite the crazy few weeks before my hols. I felt great wearing all my sun dresses and shorts while I was away and even the bikini didn't break me out in a cold sweat! It's...

Hi all Just checking in. Can't believe it's been a week since I posted-where is the time going! Well I'm on OSS day 15 of 30 so I'm halfway through. Getting very excited for my hols now Sorry I don't have time to post my menus this week, I've been crazy busy and up and down the country with...

Double post...

And I just had to edit that post three times for it to make sense... time to give up and go to bed methinks! Night all

Well OSS day 8 of 30 was a disaster! Food wise I did ok but I managed a string of stupid things one after the other (including forgetting my purse and only realising I didn't have it when I was at the checkout and bending down to pick something off the floor and whacking my head on the way...

Morning! I don't use the coaching myself but others on here have and I think the general consensus is that it's not worth the money. You'll find all the info you need in the book or on here

What you should keep in mind is that the point of the Dukan diet is that you aim for low carbs and low fat. Oatbran is a carb. It's allowed but only because it fills us up and helps with transit. But it's allowed in strictly restricted quantities If you experience transit issues then add a...

Hello there! Welcome to Dukan :) Have you been on the Dukan website and found your True Weight? Very helpful and that will also tell you how long you should do Attack for Your shopping list looks fine - go easy on the SF jelly in Atack, it's allowed but don't go mad with it! You might...

I only like bread when it’s toasted and dripping with butter – and if I go there for one slice then the whole loaf is gone…. Definitely safer with the pitas… Anyhoo: OSS Day 5/30 B: Oatbran bikkies and a Muller L: Strange leftover lunch of 2 beef skewers, 1 egg scrambled and a WM pitta...

Yes I definitely agree your comment here – one of the reasons that I moved to Conso early is because I was getting obsessed with the numbers on the scales and losing sight of how far I’d actually come. My reaction every morning was “oh no I’ve STS” or better again “oh no, I’ve ONLY lost 1...

Coming up to the dreaded TOTM this week and it really got me thinking. We can control our food and our eating habits, we can take regular exercise and we can really look after ourselves. But the biggest battle is really with your mindset. I’ve lost and maintained weight before, the last time...

I'd my gala and carb meals last week alright. I'm ok at the weekend, but during the week this week I've just totally forgotten about it. I suppose the Cruise way of eating just comes more naturally to me now. But yes I know-I'll come back from holidays a big blob if I'm not careful! Anyway, got...

Yep in my second week of Conso so the strawberries are allowed! Though I keep on forgetting about my bread allowance because it just doesn't occur to me to eat it anymore. I've got some mini WW pittas on my way home which I'll weigh to see what I get for my allowance. I'd definitely prefer that...

OSS day 4 of 30 B: scrambled eggs and quark L: chicked salad and a Muller D: will be beef skewers and celeriac chips S: I had some lovely strawberries mid morning. Oh the joys of having fruit again Edit: WM pitta pocket pizza added after scolding from Jo! Yum yum yum. Promise not to miss my...

OSS day 3 of 30 Today was PP day B: only a Muller this morning L: scram and ham with quark D: chicken skewers and yogurt dip followed by another Muller S: Dukan tiramisu Ex: Body Combat for an hour then walk home I'm really hungry today. I presume it's because I'm pre-TOM today. I get the...

I'm the same. AT Xmas I was a size 12/14 and now, 1 1/2 stone lighter and I'm 10/12 but more 12 than 10! The number on the label hasn't changed that much but how I look in the clothes certainly has.

Ooh interesting. I'd love to do Zumba but it's on the same time as my dance class. I was tempted to get It for the Wii but I didn't think it would be as good...

Hmmm I should probably factor in some time for the visiting family thing... though a couple of weekends in Dublin is more than enough! So, OSS day 2 of 30: B: oatbran bikkies L: chicken salad with tomatoes and quark and a Muller D: I'll be late home so it will probably be beef skewers and...

I'm off to Southern Spain for ten days at the beginning of July. Cadiz, Tarifa and Seville. I can't wait! And for the first time in years I'm going to be confident on the beach-if it kills me Change of plan on the dinner menu. OH had made Spag Bol so I had the Bol without the Spag. It was Dukan...

Happy Monday everyone! So today it is exactly a month to my holidays-Woohoo! So it's Operation Swimsuit from today. Maintain my weightloss and tone up so as not to frighten passers by...! B: oatbran and ginger cakey things L: wrap with tuna and salad D: will be salmon and veg stir fry Ex...

Jess don't get disheartened. It's so true what you say - we are totally conditioned to look at the scales and believe what they say - but they only tell half of the picture. I've a quote from an old teacher which I've posted before that I believe 100% and I think really applies here Nobody...

It was a moment of madness... but now I have no choice but to maintain a twelve or else I get fired for dressing inappropriately for work. Now THAT'S motivational!

Ha ha dukandebut it was hilarious - I felt like a criminal! Carrying illicit materials about my person.... I don't even like McD's anyway - it was never one of my vices (and I had many – though note the use of the past tense....!! :angeldevil:) so I have no idea what made me do it in the...

Ok I have a confession. This will be gruesome reading but there is a lesson to be learned from it... Yesterday started out as a good day: B: oatbran biscuits and a Muller L: tuna with mixed leaf salad, cherry tomatoes and quark S: bread and cheese allowance made into a sambo with tomato After...

Grr pesky hayfever is back today with a vengeance. I usually get it much earlier in the year so I thought I was getting away with it. Rocking the red nose and bulging watery eyes this morning-surprisingly not a good look for me...

Oh no Emms poor you. Though result on the suit, it a great feeling. There's always a silver lining!

I must try again-the idea of then really appeals to me. Thanks ladies! *hands back thread to Emms and scurries away*

It's an odd time isn't it Jess. I'm still petrified of slipping as I feel my mindset has changed. For example, today a colleague was circulating a bag of chocs (Grr) - last week I wouldn't have even looked at her. Today I actually considered it. Granted only for about ten seconds until my brain...

Sorry for hijacking your thread Emms... DD can you tell me how you actually freeze your Mullers? I end up with solid and completely inedible lumps when I try!

So Conso day 5 and I'm only getting round to posting my menu today-I'm a bit all over the place this week as you may have noticed! B: Muller toffee L: chicken breast (160g) with spinach, rocket and cherry tomatoes with some quark pretending to be mayo D: chicken Kiev made with philly, garlic...

I love Waitrose. As a non-UK native I just started shopping there when I moved over as there's one quite close to me and it seemed reasonably priced for the quality (then again, everything here seems reasonably priced compared to Dublin, but I digress...) It was only later when speaking to...

Hi kwardy and welcome to Dukan Ask away, we've all done it and you find a wealth of knowledge here!

It's so refreshing to read some common sense. I've lost count of the times I've heard "but surely it's so bad for you" and then that same person promptly gets up and pops down the chippie for tea!

Great thread Jess-thanks for this. I'm taking note!

Ah it wasn't actual nuts-I think that's just what my mother calls it! It was that wholemeal bread that tastes like sawdust... with dry chicken, some soggy lettuce and a half slice of tomato. Yum-not!

In the chicken sandwich? It was that normal "nutty"wholegrain stuff. To be honest I only ate half of it if even so it was less than the allowance-I'm just not a bread person (unless it white and soft and toasted with loads of butter... la la la I'm not listening to myself) it's just handy on...

Well day three of Conso and I've just been "forced" into my first gala meal. I'm working onsite at an event today and it's a 12 hour shift-6am to 6pm. Lovely. So needless to say I was starving at lunch. Yesterday's lunch was fine-chicken sandwich with side salad and an apple. So I thought today...

Result! Fab news Jess! That's interesting about the wrap-I'm not big on bread myself, I'd definitely prefer a wrap if it's allowed.

Hi Jess. Yes I'm happy with my decision-It's so nice to be able to have a piece of fruit a day again! I'm a little bloated but I'm sure it'll settle down once my body gets used to it I think I'm going to be happier maintaining this weight. It feels like me if that makes sense! Great to have a...

The apple was pure heaven! I had my two slices of bread today and I agree, more than enough. I wasn't mad about it at all. I actually prefer my normal Dukan lunch-ha! I think I'd be happier with the longer Conso anyway-just to be sure. And the 105 days takes me nicely to the day before I go...

We can use a tablespoon of wheatbran as well as your oatbran allowance if you need it (to help ahem... move things along for example) but not until the Cruise Phase. You should stick to oatbran only in Attack

Actually - just a thought I'm saying I have 105 days of Conso as I've lost 20 pounds in total - but I've only actually lost 12 of those on Dukan, the rest I'd lost in January in my after-Xmas blitz! So really I'd maintained that half stone weightloss for a couple of months before I started on...

Oh cheese.... Yes, I think I'll be fine. The bread allowance will help when I'm onsite with work as sandwiches seem to be the only thing on offer most of the time! But I'll have to be careful with the cheese. That's one of my big vices (along with chocolate) so I'm going to keep it to a...

OK. so I've thought about where I am and how I feel and I've decided to move on to Conso now. I'm at a good weight and it's a weight I managed to stablise before so I know I can do it. I have to admit I'm very nervous though. I'm very much an all-or-nothing girl so I'm worried about allowing...

There are subtle differences between PP and Attack-for example you increase your oatbran allowance to 2 tablespoons per day and you must limit dairy to 1 litre per day. But I think the reason most people start on PV is because they're mad for some veg after Attack! You can choose the rhythm...

Ooh me too. I'm going on the 2nd July and I can't wait. Robbie back on stage with them after all these years. I'm going to feel 14 again Be sure to tell us how fab they are!

Well done Jack-fantastic result!

No that shouldn't be any harm, I reckon it's TOTM. I was there last week and it's a killer It's probably a good plan to stop weighing every day because you can become obsessed with numbers! If you're doing it right the weightloss will come. And once you're into cruise it will stop being such a...

Hi there KGB Please don't get disheartened. I know it's difficult when you don't see the numbers going down on the scales, especially in Attack. But it's totally normal - TOTM completely messes you up! A lot of the weight we lose in Attack is water weight - but at TOTM you're retaining water...

Morning! Yes, maximum of 1 litre of dairy, of which a max 250mls can be skimmed milk. Don't worry though - it's loads! You'll be fine with that amount for tea/coffees etc. Well done on getting through Attack. It gets so much easier from now on - and veggies will taste even better than...

Hi Jess I'm glad I came across your post, I was just about to post something similar myself. I totally understand where you're coming from. I think we started around the same time and I've found that the last few weeks I've STS so the motivation to keep going is not really as strong I'm...

Sorry-phone malfunction! But yes I totally agree. Woohoo!

Yeah I mean I chose my goal because I looked at my True Weight, thought it seemed very low then rounded it up to the nearest stone! But in reality, thinking about it now- if I'd have chosen a weight myself it probably would have been the weight I am now. This is the lightest weight I've ever...

Thanks for that TOTM was my excuse for last week so it's not that unfortunately. I was extra careful and made sure my spices were ok and my coffees were black... I'm not getting too down about it though. It's easy to get obsessed with the numbers but actually this is a good weight for me. I'm...

Weighday today (where did that week go!) and I stayed view same again I'm a bit disappointed. That's the second week in a row and while I'll admit I probably deserved it last week I was trying really hard this week and I thought I'd have a loss

Yeah I was surprised how stressful it was having my OH doing Dukan with me. It really put me off! I suppose it's just become second nature to me now-this is what I eat and this is the routine I have. So having to make something that both of us liked actually became more stressful than making 2...

Hmmm just sitting down to write this and I realised I had chicken twice today. Hadn't even noticed...! B: Muller toffee L: chicken pieces with spices and quark dressing S: packet of ham D: chicken curry with Greek yogurt sauce S: oatbran coffee cake in the oven Hmmm. That seems like quite a...

Another good day today-no major incidents to report! B: oatbran muffins L: 2 eggs with smoked salmon and quark S: Muller toffee D: chilli mince with yogurt, some LF turkey slices and 3 chicken skewers (bit random but it did the job) Drinks: coming up to 1.5 litres of water, 2 cans of diet coke...

You know what Jess-I'm not really that bothered. To be honest I think I prefer doing it on my own! I've got my own little routine now and he was kinda messing me up! It's only the two of us, no kids. So I cook my dinner, he does his own and it's been working fine so far. He kinda stressed me out...

I don't see why not-though I always favor the natural way of wheatbran and water. You need to be careful because your body is getting used to a new way of eating so you could start to depend on them-but if it's uncomfortable you have to deal with it That's just my take on it so others may have...

Don't worry ladies, it's normal to go less because without the fibre and carbs you won't have as much waste in your system Once you get to Cruise and have some veg it should right itself. If it's uncomfortable you can add a tablespoon of wheatbran to help things along

Success! I managed to avoid the perils of a working lunch by bringing the oatbran muffins in my bag-moral of the story: don't go anywhere without them if there's the possibility of an unsuitable lunch Today I had: B: 2 egg omelette L: oatbran muffins S: muller light D: chilli minced beef with...

Monday– back to properly keeping a diary after the madness of last week. I’m quite annoyed, weighed myself this morning even though it’s not a Weighday and I seem to have put on 2 pounds. Now I know I was happy to STS on Friday but the combination to TOTM and That Lunch have obviously caught...

Yeah it's going to be great. He's getting into it already and he's doing us a PV dinner this evening to practice. He's promising me chicken curry and chips! Long may it last-if he makes it through attack I'll be really impressed with him

Thanks! It remains to be seen how he gets on-I'll be amazed if he gets through one day without bread. But he seems really motivated. And if I'm honest there's probably a bit of competitiveness in it too...!

I have to agree - I must have paid hundreds of pounds to WW over the years, I lost a bit, thought I was great, went back to how I ate before and piled the weight back on - then went back to WW. I think WW has some good messages, you need to watch your portion sizes, plan your meals etc and...

It's so true. My old dance teacher (who was very supportive of me trying to lose weight as a teenager - a real lady) had a great motto. Nobody can see what you see when you look at the scales but everyone can see what you see when you look in the mirror. Everyone is different, there are...

End of another week - thankfully!! This week was a real challenge. Crazy busy in work, two days spent travelling (Dublin on Monday and Edinburgh on Friday) plus TOTM really mixed things up for me. And then there was THAT lunch yesterday..... Anyway, I'm a day late with the weigh-in but this...

Great thread! Mine is jeans - my legs are where I carry a lot of my weight so I find it really difficult to fit my thighs into a pair of jeans. so I have a tendancy to measure my weigthloss by what jeans I can fit into. I've been battling with my weight since I was 15 - and I remember...

I totally agree - I've seen so many women go too far and age 10 years because of it :eek: Everyone is different and some people just look better with a bit of weight on them I feel good now and I'm happy fitting into clothes that I thought I'd never get into again - and I'm lucky cos I'm also...

Ooh I remember it too-that first tomato tasted like the best thing on Earth! Well done for getting this far and enjoy Cruise!

Thanks jaqys That's what I was thinking so I stuck with the cheese and picked the tomatoes out of the salad. I'm sure I looked like a crazy lady but such is life... Grrr! Right, PP for the weekend so. And I was really looking forward to my veg too

Ah ladies I'd a disaster today! Had a last minute client meeting that I only found out about yesterday and it was in Edinburgh so very late notice and very unprepared Did ok with brekkie this morning in the airport (at 05:30-groan) but we'd a working lunch so I knew I'd just have to make the...

I just went to bed! I had a lovely 5am start today so I needed my beauty sleep anyway, I'll be on the go all day today so hopefully that should keep my mind off it My only worry today is I've had to go to Edinburgh for a meeting at the last minute so I'll be in airports or on a plane most of...

Totally agree. I've had that feeling about once a week so far (I'm on week 6) but I haven't given in even though it's been so hard at times. Think of how gutted you'd be The cravings will last a few hours, maybe a day at most, the weight stays forever unless you break the cycle. This diet...

Evening all! It's been a crazy busy week so I haven't been able to get on to post my menus at all. Have had to be extra strong though-TOM is upon me and I may actually go mad with these chocolate cravings! I'm also feeling a bit bloated so the motivation of feeling super slim has gone... but I...

Yes, this weekend will be interesting… but sure what’s the point of working so hard towards a goal only to throw it all away on a Sunday Roast. Mammy understands, we’re a heavy family and she knows how hard we all have to struggle. I’m sure I’ll be fine. Now Saturday night out with the girls...

Hmm yes, it was amazing! :) Well it’s Weighday and I got a very pleasant surprise on the scales this morning! I’d been stalling last weekend and then I got sick so I really wasn’t expecting a loss but obviously the perseverance paid off. Thanks for the words of support girls So just 5 lbs...

Thanks guys I'm a bit better today. Still feeling a bit under the weather but unfortunately work is busy so I'm not in a position to feel sorry for myself and I'm battling through. :sigh: Going to head to bed and have an early night. But first, the diary: Considering I felt so bad last...

It's the Be good one - it was my first ever experience with quark so I didn't know any different until recently but it's quite like sour cream. Totally different to the other one I use, which I get in Tesco but can't for the life of me remember the brand.... Seriously fab stuff though. I...

I was actually just thinking the other day - how on Earth have I lived without it all my life! I never heard of it before dukan and now I use it in EVERYTHING. I use the runny sainsbury's ones for dips and sauces and for mixing with the Dukan Bread etc and the thick one makes amazing desserts...

I've been eating the oatbran in Dukan bread in the evening to bulk up my dinner and I decided on a 4/3 PP/PV this week to try and get past my stall. And I've a couple of things on at the weekend so it would be easier to be able to have veg To be honest I think it is a bug cos I've just started...

Thanks! Though in fairness it’s not the most strenuous of classes so it sounds a lot more impressive than it actually is!!

Well, started out well today. I was a bit more prepared than yesterday anyway! The scales moved for the first time since last Friday too so all in all I was a happy bunny (though Official Weighday is not until Friday so I’m not updating stats til then) So far I’ve had: B: 2 eggs, quark and...

So, today didn't turn out as bad as I thought thanks to a surprisingly well stocked little Sainsbury's around the corner from my office B: 2 eggs scrambled with a drop of skimmed milk L: Sainsbury's chicken pieces sprinkled with chilli flakes and quark D: 2 homemade mince beef burgers...

I'm out on the hunt now. Today was supposed to be PP but I'm say it's going to have to become PV... Grr Yeah, I've never been a big eater during the day. I'm an evening/night eater. Which is where my problems began really. I'll try and up the brekkie and lunches...

Bit of a disaster this morning. Woke up late and ran out of the house without bringing any food! Luckily I'd some eggs still in the fridge which I had for brekkie but lunch will be a challenge....

Thanks guys I'm still feeling a bit drained but thankfully the light-headedness has gone. I'll start posting my menus again though just in case I'm not eating enough (now there's a sentence I never thought I'd use!!) Monday - PP B: Toffee Vanilla Muller L: 2 eggs scrambled with 1 slice ham...

Hi All Been a couple of weeks since Ive been able to get on but it's great to be back to read everyone's posts and tips :) I've been doing OK over the holidays.... Had a bit of a wobble at Easter (I have finally admitted chocolate is not my friend and, as much as it pains me, I think we'll...

Made my first batch of muffins with just oatbran and I'm very proud of myself! Worked perfectly first time and were amazing with my smoked salmon, chive and quark pate :) Did I read somewhere that we're allowed sugar free jelly in Cruise or was I hallucinating?

Oh if only-mine seems to get bigger as I get smaller!

Thank's everyone-it's amazing the difference a couple of days make, I'm like a new person! I haven't tried muffins yet as I thought you had to be in Cruise to .have wheatbran? Anyway-I'm going to try them tonight!

Well I made it through Attack (just!) And I actually feel great today. First weigh in and I've lost 6lbs! Chuffed with that, I'm well on the way now Yesterday looked like this: B: Muller Light Vanilla L: 2 eggs scrambled with a little skimmed milk D: chicken skewers marinaded in tikka spices...

Hi there, I seriously know the feeling-on day three of attack myself and I've felt exactly the same for the last two days, it's all just so rich The marinade tip is right though-I thought I'd never be able to eat chicken again but for dinner I marinaded some on skewers with tikka spices with...

Ok so third and last day of attack and I'm finally feeling a bit better. Though I'm really not enjoying my food-it's just too rich for me. I'd kill for an apple, but I'll resist. My menus for the weekend were ah follows Saturday B: yogurt and oatbran L: 1 egg omelette with smoked salmon and...

Thanks Emma, I'm actually really thirsty so the water isn't a problem! My eyes glased over after dinner but I'm certainly not hungry anyway. Onwards and upwards - or downwards hopefully :)

Thanks again, the forum has been a wealth of information all right. Day one has been a struggle, I'm already at the stage where I don't want to look at any more protein! The other half is taking it so badly he has hardly spoken all evening (might have something to do with the football results...

Thanks Emma, I'm not that pushed really. I just thought it might be something easy to have around but sure if it's not good I'm sure I can find something better to have on standby

Hi all I'm a little confused about what ham we're allowed (I'm in Attack) Can I just go down the shop and get some Sainsbury's Be Good lean ham slices or does it have to be a particular sort?

Thanks Emma. I'm really clueless with this low carb thing cos I've never done anything like this before-but that's the whole point I suppose.... I'll have a read of a few more diaries/menus to see what you guys are doing and change the plan a bit. I'll let you know later how I get on!

Right, this is my first diary entry I'm all set to start the Attack Phase tomorrow and I'm planning on having the following for the day-I'd be grateful for any comments Breakfast: yogurt and oatbran Lunch: omelette with 2 eggs, onion, herbs and smoked salmon Dinner: chicken breast in some...

Thanks for the welcome! I'll definitely do a food diary once I get started-roll on Saturday!

Hi All Just signed up to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. Nothing unusual about my story - I've struggled with my weight all my adult life. I was quite heavy in my teens but I joined WW in my twenties and managed to get down to a respectable weight and maintain it for a good few...
