    Total 0% - how much is too much?!

    Hi there, I am obsessed with this stuff!! I probably eat about 1 1/2 to 2 500g tubs per day plus sweetener. But how much is too much?! Sx

    Slim fruits-sugar free fat free sweets

    I bought these from holland and Barrett today. They are yummy!! I assume that fat free and sugar free sweets are ok? Has anyone else tried them? Sx

    Do you self sabotage?

    Well, I fell off! Been back on for 2 weeks now but deciding not to weigh myself just yet. I think I went up to about 11st so I'm giving it a couple of weeks (and gauging by size 10 jeans!) before I start. Did attack for a few days and am now on cruise. Feeling ok at the moment and happier being...

    Do you self sabotage?

    Thank you for your support Elisheba. I did have a tiny bit of the cake after all (it was sooo nice!) but didn't feel too bad about it the next day as i actually felt in control just a bit so it didn't turn into a binge. I made some muffins and so far they are working a treat. Nymeria- Thanks...

    Dunno if it would work but sweetener reminds me of icing sugar so maybe mix with teeny bit of boiling water and then let it cool to see if it sets?! Try it! Sx

    I'll make a batch! The more the merrier! Tablespoon-I don't have one either! I just use a wooden spoon and try to visualise the one my mum had when I was little :) Total 0% is fat free Greek yoghurt and my lifesaver! Well, with lots of sweetener that is :) it's a bit like quark but slightly...

    Cakes

    Silicon is good-otherwise you end up munching on the paper! Don't worry about size though, just work out how much oatbran in each one for you. I try to make them as big as possible :) but they will take longer to bake the bigger they are. Sx

    The muffins are a hit with my non-dukan friends. Almond, vanilla or dukan cocoa powder are my favourites. Really easy to make too. Sx

    Am still struggling with what to do

    Hi Teddy, Reading your entry made me think of all the advice I've been given-if only I could absorb it myself!! Anyway, I hope it helps :) Make a meal plan and do a shop on a full tummy Write a list of all the reasons you are doing this-health issues, confidence etc and pop it on the fridge...

    Do you self sabotage?

    Thanks so much for your wise words-I completely agree with you about the mindless eating-WHY?! Something that I've found to combat this is yoga as we practice 'listening to your body' techniques. It's much easier to do in class than at home though! I also have a hypnosis cd-'I can make you...

    Dukan Diet Pills..

    I've been drinking the cho yung tea from holland and Barrett -hard to tell if it's made a difference really as I've been drinking it from the start. Has anyone else tried it? It tastes quite nice really as I'm not usually a fan of herbal tea type drinks but it is really expensive-£40 for 2...

    Do you self sabotage?

    You are so right Joydriven. When I'm in 'the zone' everything is great, I'm on a high-I'm a strong confident woman. Then I get the slightest knock, something that makes me feel stupid and I run for the chocolate. I don't even necessarily want it - it's like I can't cry so I'll eat instead. The...

    Do you self sabotage?

    You're right DeeCe, drink is the way forward ;) lol! I'm obsessed with dr pepper zero at the moment - can't get enough of the stuff! Think I got a bit bored and lazy so I need to get making. Made the custard the other day which was a faff but nice. Shame I ate the whole thing at once! Got...

    Do you self sabotage?

    Thanks for your kind words. I tend to eat bad food in secret too. I get really cross with my husband when he keeps coming into the kitchen. I wrote so late last night I didn't even realise I was in the recipe section! I feel ok today, have avoided the scales though! I'm walking for around...

    Do you self sabotage?

    Hello there, I just ate 3 cookies and a big bowlful of choc ice cream :-( I was doing so well, 3 weeks in and counting! Spoke to my mum today-she commented that I didn't look like I'd lost any weight (goal is 2 stone) and it's just thrown me. Has this happened to any of you? One negative(ish)...

    Skinny jeans forever!

    Ok, so had a binge last night after my afternoon tea. Was good during the tea as had porridge before but then got a taste for it and managed sushi, Percy pigs, half a bottle of rose, 2 packets of crisps (mmm prawn cocktail ;) half a family bag of peanut m and ms and 2 slices of toast! Feeling...

    Skinny jeans forever!

    Ow ow ow! Has anyone else tried the shred? I think the instructor jillian is cool, not like other annoying ones ;) Twenty minutes everyday is easy enough but the pain of walking down stairs afterwards! Been feeling really tired and snappy today, hope I'm not pushing myself too much, then again...

    Skinny jeans forever!

    Why is it so hard to maintain?! I just want to reward myself (with food!) for being so good :( I managed to lose about 6 1/2 stone from may last year and I was so dedicated. It saw me through my dad's stroke, my husbands redundancy and my beautiful cat Rudy getting run over by a hit and run. I...

    Hello Strangers

    Great news about getting back together with your OH :) Sounds like you should give yourself some credit after the past few weeks. It might be hard now but you gotta focus on how you're gonna feel after losing. Try not to compare yourself to the other girls and just focus on how proud you'll be...

    Wow, when I think of it like that...

    Ah that squidgy pound of fat is the best! Keeps me motivated. Well done on your losses :) I'm back on Cambridge after indulging on my honeymoon- well skiing burns lots of calories and I was starving all the time! Hope everything goes well with your consultation.
