I try to keep a diary (old school pen and paper) but think if I post it on here I'm more likely to stay on track. Saying that, I've been rubbish tonight, I've resisted any wine which used to be my biggest down fall but two Oreo cookies 'fell' into my mouth, little *******! Ha ha ;) I know sugar...

Hey! Good for you! Hope you don't mind me posting!

Hello I'm on a PV day today so I'm going to have a juicy steak with mushrooms, onions and a massive side salad :) x

Yes, jumping between diets has really been getting me down. I've made a promise to never go back to SW as its gives me too much freedom to over induldge in certain foods. At least with Dukan I know what i can and cant eat and thats it. I am on it like a car bonnet as they say (not sure who...

Well i'm on day 10 of the diet today, have been on cruise since last Friday and my total weight loss since the beginning of the diet 9lbs! I'm so thrilled to be seeing these results, it's so motivating! Lost 7lb in my first week, and i've dropped 2lb so far this week but still have until Monday...

Well today I'm well and truly motivated! Had nothing but protein yet today so am looking forward to my daily dose of oatbran tonight, may give the muffins a whirl! Not that hungry today but I'm sure thats due to the amount of water plus tea/coffee I've consumed! I've drank 2 litres of water and...

I'm in the butt kicking gang this week as well! Got a little tipsy (to say the least) on Saturday night, vodka and diet cokes...oh my, I was sooo ill on Sunday, and to soak up the alcohol i pinched some of my OH chinese :( Decided on a few PP days, yesterday and today and will get back to PV...

Welcome to minimins! I havent been here long myself, i'm on week 2 this week. I struggle a little with lunches also! There is a recipies section on here and also a diary section where people list what they're eating for the day, this may give you some ideas of what you could have. Cara x

Looking good!!! And I love the new hair too!! Well done you!!! :) x

Had a very wobbly weekend and let myself go a bit on Saturday night...had a few too many vodkas and diet cokes and was VERY, VERY ill on Sunday which resulted in me pinching some of the OH chinese takeaway :eek:...will not be doing that again! Have decided to keep a diary from now on. Have...

My Baby Bella! She isn't so little now, she was only a few months old here! Wish I could have her tiny again! She's a right fatty now, will try and find a more recent pic! :)

I loved Ice Cream girls Violet and totally agree that it was not what i was expecting, in a good way though though. A gritty subject but written perfectly, Dorothy Koomson I find easy to read. I have her new nivel waiting for in my pile...The woman he loved before me' I'll let you know how it...

Hi Guys, Its my forst day of cruise today so was excited about eating salads and veggies etc. Made a shrimp salad for my lunch, lettuce, cuc, toms, peppers and onion, with balsmaic vinegar, salt and pepper and i it turned me sick. Has this happened with any of you on your first day of cruise? I...

Hello, Welsh Newbie here! I'm from the Valleys, Merthyr Tydfil to be precise! I'm on the Dukan Diet, hope you're all having a good day! Hwyl Fawr! x

Hello ladies! I've currently got my head in The Butterfly Cabinet by Berbie McGill, it's her first novel. Not an 'easy' read as such, the style of writing is different to what i'm used to. I'll perserve with it though! Not long come back from 2 weeks in Cyprus and read Dorothy Koomsons 'Ice...

Hey Lady M, no worries, no need to apologise! I opted for salmon instead, it was quicker! I'll be trying the roast chicken and BBQ Sauce either tonight or tomorrow so I'll let you know how it goes. I have balsamic vinegar at home so think i'll use that! Thanks xx

Yes that helps! Had mine on the largerst hob on medium heat...oops! It was 6.30am when makinh it, i was still half asleep lol! :)

Hi Lady M! Am going to try out the BBQ Sauce tonight using diet coke. Will pepsi max work the same? I far prefer pepsi to coke see! And is the red wine vinegar essenital? If it is no worries, just need to go buy some first! Thanks, Cara x:)

Well done you!! :) Well done, pleased for you. Tried my first one this morning and it burnt! The underside went brown REALLY quickly, maybe i had the hob on too high, although it wasnt up full, it was kind of medium?? God knows! :rolleyes:

I was going to do the attack for 5 days but maybe i'll start cruise tomorrow instead. I need a supermarket run for veggies tonight then, i'm actually excited about vegetables! Cheers ladies! :) x

Ive just walked to the toilet and over to the window to open it. Not very much of a walk though as the office is tiny and the toilets really close by! I'm clock watching now until 5.00pm and i'm outta here! Cheers for tips, i'm def going to have an early night. Baby is staying with her nanny...

Day 3 of Attack today and i'm so sleepy. Feel really drained and I was only up once in the night with Ruby (10 month old baby girl) to pop her dummy back in. Im struggling to keep my eyes open in work! Any tips? This is a normal thing to feel at this stage i believe? x

Hello Ladymahayla! Thanks for your lovely reply! :) I will def take a look at some of recipies and give them a try, i appreciate all the advice and help I can get! I must admit i'm not being extremely rigid on this diet as i would crack otherwise! I've lost 7lb since Monday and I have had a...

Its the recipie from the book! I was surprised at this also.

It's an awesome feeling! It's keeping me very motivated! I'm actually enjoying the diet! xx

Morning all! Thought i'd give the pepper sauce a whirl last night to have with my sirloin steak...what a disaster! I followed the recipie but instead of using vegetable oil i used olive oil, would this have casuse the yoghurt to separate and go all wierd? It resembles very runy cottage...

Just thought i'd share my utter joy with you all! On day 3 of Attack today, jumped on the scales this morning and i am down another 3lb! That's 7lb since Starting the diet on Monday, I'm over the moon! Loving the Dukan Method!!!! :D

Thank you Antrpos! I really didnt give all those flavourings a second thought, doh! It's still all new to me. This has pleased me lots! Burgers and chilli here I come! Thanks girls, this website and all of you are really a great help! xx

I totally understand what you're saying, and thank you for your advice.

Oh, and the other ingrediants fpr chilli...CHILLIES! Cant have them yet, onion, red peppers i also like in my chilli, cant wait to start cruise phase! x

Cant have burgers with no onion in, sinful! lol! I'll wait so i can add lots of chopped red onion yum yum! I'm going to attempt my first Galette tonight...wish me luck, everyone seems to have disasters with their first one!

Brilliant! Shame I cant have any of the other ingrediants for burgers or chilli yet, only 4 days to go though! Yay!! Thanks very much!

Oops! Best I finish up the last of the massive pot Ive eaten today and get some other form of Yoghurt. Thanks for advice. My friend munched this all the way through her dukan diet though and lost stones, i may limit myself to a little a day!

Hi Guys! Hope you're all having a good Dukan Day! Was just wondering whether I can have extra lean mince beef during attack phase, and thereafter? Cheers, Cara x

Hi Ladies, I'm new to Dukan, second day today and 4lb already! :) I've been eating the fat free Onken Vanilla flavoured yoghurt. This is ok i'm sure? It does say in the book that flavoured yogurts as long as they are fat and sugar free...hope i havent been doing it worng! x
