Hi. Go for it yourself!!!! Plan it a little before hand if you can but these organised trips are just a rip off in my opinion. My husband went to NY a couple of years ago and was going to go on a trip by boat past the Statue of liberty * the cost was something stupid like $40 each!!!! We had a...
I just can't get motivated at the moment with my food intake. I think I've finally blown after years of failed diets :( However, I've just been on a 20 minute bike ride, after not being on my bike for over 2 years + weighing over 21 stones :eek: It was knackering & I could see people staring &...
I have a mini trampoline (under my bed)
Gym ball (not pumped up)
Davina's Ab cruncher (Gathering dust)
Dumbells (Somewhere)
Resistance bands (Still sealed in the packet)
and some push up bars (Again somewhere)
Lol, that made me laugh it sounds just like me!!!!!!! :D

Like your sig says.......It's not what we did yesterday, it's what we do today that counts. You've done fantasticly upto yet and I'm sure you will keep on doing so, despite any blips you may have along the way. I'm rooting for you :D
Jackie xx
Well dun hun. I did excatley the same as you last night. Daughter, her fiancee, my eldest son and his girlfriend came around last night for a buffet style tea, which they prepaired. Whilst they were cooking and serving the food I hid in my bedroom!!!! I was sooooo tempted to eat, kept reasoning...

Have seen a product on kgb deals called slim pasta......... Nekapa® Slim Pasta (made from moyu, a natural fibre) contains virtually zero calories, zero carbohydrates and zero fat. But that's not all it also contains virtually zero sugars and zero salt. Anybody tried it and more importantly...
Tried both and in my opinion it's slim & save. Much more choice and variety. Everyone's different hun. What's good about s & s is you can buy samples to try before you buy :D
Jackie xx
In my case, trying to lose weight is so much more than about eating things allowed and not allowed. If it were as simple as that, there wouldn't be a need at all for a diet industry. I take my hat off to you that you can follow S & S 100%. Count yourself lucky hun that your weight problems...
Oh my word........ww, slimming world, cabbage, slimfast, up day down day, lipotrim, calorie counting, Atkins, Dukan, Tesco, Start weight 12 stones, end weight after dieting after 30 years.......21 stones :cry:
But, even though I'm addicted to the amazing weightloss programmes, I'm also addicted to..................................Man V's Food :eek:
How wierd is that? ;)
Jackie xx
This will take some getting used to!!!! Where have all our stats gone from the left hand side of the page? I loved looking at that before reading the poster's post!! And is it just my computer, or is the site running slower? :confused:
Jackie xx
Stuffed pepper
Not done anything like this before! Sprayed a Green pepper with fry lite and popped it in the oven for approx 15 mins. Took it out then just made up the chilli as instructions on pack & filled the pepper....simples! ;) The pepper went a bit squew-wiff, a bit floppy but it tasted...
:p had me going there for a minute ;) I'm feeling the same. I'm just dreaming of my 'T' i'm having in a bit........Green pepper stuffed with chilli ( s&s style of course! ;) )
Jackie xx
What are you doing hun? 3 or 4 packs? Are you having the allowed veg allowance? And the protein if doing the 3 packs? I know what you mean about the hunger! I did 6 days straight then caved in and ate :cry: Got back on plan yesterday. ketosis never kicks in for me on this vlcd like it used to...
Hello :) not heard of the Asda vlcd! I'm doing slim & save. The shakes are yummy :D I've got a lot to lose as well, but we've got to start somewhere, haven't we? ;) Hope it goes well for you. Keep posting hun :)
Jackie xx
Hi and welcome hun :D sorry to hear you're not too good. I'm not sure which meds have no sugar but there are some out there! Myself personally wouldn't bother I'd just take something lol :p Hope you feel better soon
Jackie xx
Look at the positives hun....how much you've lost, how you feel so much better than before you'd lost. I'd say a vlcd is a massive shock to the body so it's bound to freak out every now and again ;) Stick with it, you know you're worth it :D
Jackie xx
Oh I'm sooooooooooo hungry today!! :( I started my period as well this morning so that doesn't help :cry: just done lunch for the family so come out of the way till it's time for my next shake, which is in fact only 12 minutes :D I soooooo need to do it this time and a complete break from food...
Well better than the Lipotrim shakes hun, in my opinion, especially the cereal ones.....yummy!!!! And I've found being able to have 4 a day much more easier :)
Jackie xx
Is that the right word? Now it doesn't look right? but you know the feeling I'm going on about???? You know full of beans, wide awake, manic!!! :banana dancer::party0049::party0048:
Jackie xx
Day 3......
Day 3 nearly over and done with & 100% committment :D Just had the veg soup for my tea.....:yuk: tasted rank!!! Going to stick to the shakes from now on. Have had banana, crispy choc/vanilla, hazelnut and the red berries one.......:bliss: scrumdiddilyumptious :D
Jackie xx
Yea here's another addict :o I think I just imagine that I'll find a miracle cure for my fatness by watching them :p (when really I should get off my fat bum and exercise like them ;) )
Jackie xx
Hi there. I started yesterday. I've also been on LT but couldn't survive :sigh: BUT the shakes on S & S are sooooooo much better :D We can spur each other on :)
Jackie xx
Hi. I'm Jackie & I'm thinking of trying S & S to save my life! I've been on EVERY diet there's been :o but am still looking for one that suits me. I did 10 days on Lipotrim but gave up because I couldn't stand the intense feelings of hungar anymore :cry: I'm thinking that because I can have 4...
I agree they are quite pricey but..........they last for ages, work out cheaper than the rubbish I used to scoff & help keep me on the straight and narrow.....a price worth paying me thinks!! ;) :D
Jackie xx
ordered a couple of toasted marshmallow before so they'll be here by next week :bunnydance:
I ALWAYS crave something sweet after a meal so I have some 0% fat free total yogurt with a drop of the syrup in.....mmmmmmm feels soooo naughty when I'm eating it. Doesn't feel like I'm doing without...
Sooooooo cold today :gen125: On a cheerier note though...... just over a week till the shortest day then we're heading to warmer times!!!!! ;) :p
Jackie xx
I frequently as myself the same question hun :confused: What is it with us women & self sabotage????? Beats me! Carry on though hun ( not with the cake though ;) ) as you're doing so well. I think of cake as a big slice of fat that'll clog up my arteries if I eat it! :eek: That's worked so far...
Oh my days, it's sooooooo windy outside! Take care if you are going out, especially those who live in bonny Scotland as it warned on the news this morning of winds of 90mph :eek: Not as cold here though as it has been for the last couple of days.
Jackie xx
:confused:......glad you're doing fine on your way of eating hun, but so are Dukaneers here :D Not being funny but it's not really productive to come on a slag off a way of eating if it's helping others! I know you may not have meant it to sound that way but it does!!! I for one aren't getting...
Hi there. Pop over to the Dukan board and put your post on there you'll get loads of friendly help :D Sorry I can't help just on my way out!!!
Jackie xx
Hi hun. Have you read the book? It's sooooo much easier if you read it first and then it fits into place better when you are doing the diet. Here's what Dr D says....
So that the following instructions are clear, there are three sorts of 0 percent fat yogurt: (1) natural yogurt; (2) flavored...
Hey love. I'm a serial dieter and always have been. Yes, you do need to do what suits you. I agree & am doing that myself. However, looking at what you eat it seems wayyyyyyy to little. I know from past experience that eating so little cannot be sustained indefinatley and sooner or later you'll...
Strip off and turn off the central heating!!!! :eek: Dr D say's we'' burn more calories that way!!! :p
Good for you for not feeling sorry for yourself. An acheivement in itself when trying to improve our eating isn't it? Keep up the good work :D
Jackie xx
:D:D :rotflmao: that made me smile!!! Last night we had really heavy hail and in the night a flurry of snow which went as quick as it came! It's been freezing all day :winter_brr: again with lots of hail. Me thinks winter's finally arrived! :(
Jackie xx
Awwwww that looks fab. I just love Scotland :D We've stayed in the Trossacks a couple of times. Oh my word, it's out of this world!!! Would love to be up there when it snowed! Keep us posted with photo's!!!
Jackie xx
PS Are you going to see the Panda's?
Myself personally when I've messed up is the next day do a PP and the following day PV & lots of water. I've been doing rubbish lately, but thankfully not gained :confused: which I'm really thankful for. DONT GIVE UP!!!!!!
Jackie xx
Well done you :clap: Like Ally said, what a lovely post. It's post's like these that help people like me realise that weight can be lost & it's a struggle for us all, no matter how much or little we've got to loose. Thanks for sharing :D
Jackie xx
I'd love to beable to go on something like this, espesh if I could meet up with you lot! :D But, if the price of Dr.D's coaching website is anything to go by..........................:eek:
Jackie xx
Errm, I'm not :o I admit I'm not doing it 100%, BUT I am feeling ok about that! Plus, I've not gained which is a massive plus for me. I've dieted all my life and have got major issues with food but Dr.Dukan is making me look at things from a different perspective (through his book!!) So I'm...
Its so hard isn't it once your body has had a taste of rubbish carbs to get back on plan because of the hungar that it causes! I've been experiencing the same thing & I'm also doing something similar to you and having PV days instead of 1/1. I've stayed the same now for 3 weeks :o BUT it's kept...
Can't you not go? it sounds horrid, you worrying about what other people will think of what/how much you are eating, plus you say you don't really know any of them? I wouldn't blow my good work for a situation like THAT!!! You are to nice to have that predicament (sp?) hun! :D
Jackie xx
Have you see the news report this morning about how old people are treated in their homes by so called carers?....
Older people not being given enough support to eat and drink, with some staff arguing health and safety restrictions prevented them preparing hot meals
Neglect because care workers...
This is good for you.......that isn't good for you........eating this way will help to prevent cancer......eating that way will put you at higher risk of cancer etc etc etc.......Is is any wonder that there's so many people with eating disorders/unhealthy relationship with food????? :mad:
Jackie xx
:mad: Just been to the docs for my smear test, but they said it was for 2.10pm today NOT 12.10pm which is when I turned up :o and I can't find the card anywhere to double check! I hate it when that happens :rolleyes:
Jackie xx
Hi :D Hope it goes well for you. Well done taking the bull by the horns now whilst you've only gained a little rather than all that you lost :clap:
Jackie xx
This looks truely scrummy. On another note though......OMGosh, you look truely amazing :wow: I've just had a look at your photo's after I wrote this recipe down!!!! Well done on your weightloss :clap::clap::clap:
Jackie xx
I was a pepsi max addict until I started Dukan. I thought that I'd just try drinking water as recommended instead of the fizzy nectar as I've never done this before! Boy, am I surprised. I can't drink it anymore as it's to sweet for my palate now, something I never thought'd be possible!! :eek...
At least you've got back on track hun & not gone on to regain all your lost weight & more. Well done for that! Onwards and upwards sister!! :D
Jackie xx
Oh love! First let me say how sorry I am to hear about your step dad. How very sad :( Death is always horrible but when it's in tragic circumstances like your step dad's, it's worse :( ((((hugs )))) to you and your family.
As for your binge, try not to stress about it to much. Like you said...
Tried this last night (same as you with roast chicken!) and it was truely fab!! Am going to try the courgette lasagne tonight as it a PV day.....mmmmmmmmmmmmm :D
Jackie xx
Hi. Yes, I noted them before I started attack (very scarey they were as well!! :eek: ) Not going to re measure until a month completed. Well done on your loss though :D
Jackie xx

Jackie xx
Hi thanks for that. Yes I did try a code, but because I am soooooo obese :(, the cheapest is over £300 which weekly is still dearer than say WW.
PS I'm really not saying anyone's gulliable I just felt really knarked coz of the true weight thing.
Jackie xx
Erm so why did my true weight change then? And "I'm not refusing to consider a very successful plan because I don't understand the calculation of an approx figure. I ain't that short sighted to know a rip off when I see it!! ;)
I read the book and was VERY happy with it, I was just unsure of...
hi hun. Yes I get your point and agree with you we can do it for free which is ace! It's just that reading his book made me feel that he was really interested in people as individuals and not just the "corporation" side of things. Wishful thinking on my part me thinks lol!
Jackie xx
I was contemplating signing upto the official dukan site & couldn't make my mind up but now I'm 100% sure I'm not going to & gonna stick with you guys. Why? I put all my stats in and he said my weight was bla, bla, bla which was 7lbs UNDER what my true weight should be. So I decided to change it...
Hi & thanks elida. I had my cholestral checked not so long ago & it's fine or so I'm told, it was 4.3. Also my bp is good & no signs of diebeties (sp?) either. I think the nurse was quite surprised at my docs surgery when the results came back, given my size lol!!
Jackie xx
Thanks for the replies. I'm still undecided though!! Typical of me that ;) I'll just stick to the book and on here with you lovely people and see how it goes! Many thanks for your replies :)
Jackie xx
Hi. I'm seriousley considering Dukan and was wondering if anyone's got the official membership to the diet site for coaching and if they think it's worth it? All opinions gratefully received! :D
