It does work so well when followed properly, my down fall is having a 13 month old and having night shifts and long days so always feel an urge for chocolate and generally anything bad! lol Wish I was 10.13 st as that's my target.....a long and winding road me thinks! xx

There is that:) just trying to think of other ways to keep me motivated as I keep falling of the wagon and putting some weight back on( although not all of it) and its just annoying me! Would love to be focused as I was at the beginning and just don't know how to get it back:( xx

Be just been looking at the Dukan coaching side of things and there is a lot of mixed views on this. Do you think it is worth the money or is it really as bad as what people say? x

Thank you all for your words of support and advice:) next week I'm going to have a cookathon of all dukan meals to freeze so have no chance of falling, plus my husband is away for a week so will have some spare time to read and get my head around it all again!! I know dukan works wonders when u...

Im so disappointed in myself as I was doing so well doing the dukan, but since being I'll and the hurting my back I start it up again for a few days then fall of the wagon:( I really want to loose weight and stay on dukan but don't know how!?

Have just made some Yorkshire puddings to go with my roast chicken tea tonight.... Can't wait lol think its going to help me get over my night shifts:) x

I was just being curious to be honest, I downloaded the app on my phone and used it as recommended by a friend:) x

Think someone may have asked this question before, but I have entered into my fitness plan what I have eaten for the day and it's saying I am not eating the right amount of calories for weight loss and my body may go into starvation mode. Should I go by this or just continue wot I'm doing?

Yeah I know duck Is fatty, only had it the once and I felt so guilty eating duck!:s lol Im going to get some thighs nxt shopping day try and cut back on the amount Im spending since starting dukan! I would love to have a full day baking and cooking in batches but have an 8 year old a 1 year old...

Are chicken thighs allowed on Dukan? I thought they would have been to fatty?:)

Must just be me then, I am nurse though:) I have got an ear an both of my eyes are infected:( just haven't done Dukan as haven't felt like eating. x

I am just about on the mend! Can't ever remember being so ill! The mother reckons its down to losing so much weight and doing the Dukan. I take multivitamins aswell so my immune system should be ok. Is anyone else suffering with illnesses whilst doing this diet? xx

It's just my luck! Never mind, least I know I can get back on Dukan 100 per cent and reap the benefits more or less straight away!:)

Was doing soooo well only to be hit with a viral eye and ear infection! Can't even bring myself to eat much either, think its going to be like this for at least two weeks the doctor said which = weight gain maybe yet again! x

I haven't done any attack this time as apparently it is slow to work second time but have done two PP days and will be doing PV tomorrow and continuing 1/1 on the cruise stage.:) xx

I do love this diet yesterday morning I weighed in at 12st 2lbs after my Xmas binge! So yesterday was my first day back on the diet doing PP day, this morning I weighed again to find I had lost 4lbs!!! x

She had an amazing day and got very spoilt thanku:) I'm very pleased to be back on Dukan and can't wait for the weight to start coming off again! Been really good today and enjoyed lots of sirloin steak cooked in the slow cooker, yum yum! x

Back on the Dukan today after a break during Xmas period, so weighed myself this morning to see the damage and gained a whopping 8lbs:s!!! I did expect it though as yesterday was the worst as it was my daughters first birthday. This included cake with buttercream and egg mayo sarnies.... the...

That's a huge plant, not that far from me to be honest. Fingers crossed u get it!? xx

So ill last night, I had savoury mince and gravy which I haven't had in a long time! I was sick a couple of times in the nite not sure if it was the food or a bug:( x

Oooo have u? What job is the interview for? xx

Anyone living in Grimsby/Cleethorpes doing the Dukan diet? X

I'm starting back on the the 3rd as we have a new years eve party and then my daughters first birthday on the 2 nd so would seem silly to start on the 1st. :)

Very nice, bet ur burning half of what u have eaten though from skiing etc! I'm sure u wouldn't have gained a lot. Me on the other hand is resembling a couch potato with a tube of BBQ Pringles!;) xx

I think it's harder to quit as there's too much temptation with Xmas goodies all over for the kids etc! Also I think it's in our heads that it's Xmas doesn't matter wot we eat at the mo! But fingers crossed we have the same willpower we once had after new years!! xx

Yep I've gained 6lbs too:( I have a huge tummy aswell from the carb bloat, very unsightly in my new dress I had bought for boxing day to show my new figure off! But I'm determined to drop it again and begin my workout programme back at the gym lol xx

As some of you see I am off Dukan over Xmas/new year period and to be honest I'm not really enjoying the food like I thought I would:( I've suffered with terrible heartburn, irritability, upset tummy, headaches, and genearl grogginess! I'm really looking forward to start back on Dukan to give me...

Tried my hardest not to waiver with the Xmas season upon us but have given in yet again! I am not overly concerned about this as I know I will be back on it on the 2nd of January. It would have been hard for me too be 100 % dukan as we have parties and family dinners to attend oh and a few nites...

I haven't had it with sweets and cakes etc but showed someone at work a picture of me all ready to go out and she said I look out of proportion! Found out later she puts people down as she's insecure about herself. Yesterday I was told I've lost too much weight and look ill! Lol far from it...

I do weigh myself at different times i must admit as i threw my scales in the bin as i was constantly getting on them so go once a week to boots:) I measure myself with a tape measure too.

Does the bicarbonate soda give it the salty taste?

If i do have salt it's that lo salt or sea salts.. Would that be the same? I don't generally have time to put my food on here or even write it down for that matter lol but think I'm going too have to nxt week see what I'm doing wrong. x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just weighed myself this Afto and have put 3lbs on! I did have some low fat mascarpone cheese last nite as a friend cooked the food but seriously could that make you gain 3? On a good not though I did measurements this morning and if I add all inches up I have lost in a week it is 4.5 inches...

IM exhausted today from working and running around after a ten month old and my kind husband has suggested we have a Chinese meal since he has come home from travelling. He has suggested a Chinese but is there anything I could have on a pv day??

Great!:( lol I've got dead skinny arms and lower legs and big bum,belly and hips! So guess I'm an apple shape. Plus I had a baby 10 months ago so maybe it's still large from then;) hoping to shift some off my tummy it's a nightmare x

Do you think that the weight on the tummy area is the last to go?

The recommended daily intake of water is about 3.5 litres, it is also best to take this amount steadily thought out the day and not consume in vast amounts at one time. Drinking large volumes of water and not taking in any salts can cause low potassium levels so best not over do it:)

I had a mullet light with the oar ran in it before I went? may have just had a tired day! lol x
