Well done! Bravo!

I haven't posted for a while because I have been on holiday and allowed myself to ease up on the diet for a while (I went onto conso for a bit) now I'm back and fortunately the holiday didn't put on any weight! Yay! 12 st 3 today so not long until I reach my goal... I will be forty on Thursday...

Well done! I did the same recently and it feels great. Now you need a new wardrobe! Clothes shopping is so much more enjoyable and there is so much more choice now...first day I went out clothes shopping I was so delighted to have gone down 2 sizes that I had to tell everyone in the changing room!

Thanks to OP for this recipe these have kept me going! Love them!

I got some SF rhubarb and custards from my local sweet shop - there are lots of 'proper' sweets available that are SF - unfortunately the shopkeeper tells me they all still have the undesirable side effect of wind! Still they are yummy - I'm hardly eating any SF sweets now, so looks like the...

Thanks - I always thought they were a daft idea - until now! Off to Poundland ASAP :)

Good luck Jacey - are you on 6 or 7 days attack?

phew the donut is in the bin!;)

A weekend of temptation not entirely resisted! Oh it has been tricky this past week! The knitting in front of the telly has helped with stopping evening snacks but I have been getting a bit lax in other things...semi skimmed milk when the skimmed runs out! Oil used sometimes in cooking (not...

I made toffee muffins last week and LOVED them! I could not resist and ate some when still hot - I now realise they are nicer cold. I will have to get some of the silicon moulds though as I spent ages peeling off paper cases! Thanks for the recipe.

good to see you are back Coco! I was worried that you had given up and I have missed your diary these past few weeks. Good luck with getting back into it and great that the weight has stayed off.

really useful, thanks

I can't believe that I have done almost 5 weeks and still haven't given up! I'm not an expert dieter - only seriously dieted once before - I am so pleased to have lost so much weight already! I have ditched crab sticks this week in favour of mini bags of fridge raiders (on offer at tescos so...

week 4 - weekend at the in laws was a bit tricky as I did not want to make a fuss so not 100% by the rules but not a bad effort - has slowed weight loss a bit though. My coolbag of goodies including a dukan cake really helped keep me on track.

Don't give up you have done so well so far! There are so many temptations about - socialising is such a tricky one especially where everyone else is drinking alcohol.

Going well still no slip ups and down to 13.5 stone yay! My lovely friend cooked me a fabulous Dukan friendly PV lunch today - cod baked with leeks, sping onion and parsley with lemon on top and celery salt, steamed pak choi, fennel, baby carrots, asparagus and cougettes with a fat free...

oh well, I will get knitting to keep those fingers busy

Lobster- yummm thats a great idea for a celebratory but diet friendly meal! Enjoy!

I'm a real knitting beginner as far as anything other than scarfs is new to me - I thought I might try a boxy slash neck type fishermans jumper I saw a pattern for as not much shaping or fancy stitches...still haven't started have been amusing myself with the patterns for now. So far so good on...

Well done Coco! Size 16 is great isn't it! I look forward to that size again. Well done resisting Wagamama's too, not easy!

I have decided to take up knitting to stop me snacking in front of the telly...got a book out of the library with some ideas beyond my usual scarf. Still feeling positive. I have rediscovered pickles today - baby pickled onions with my pv lunch mmm - I hope they are ok!

Thanks Ems and Anja, I have been weighing myself every day, so will cut that out! The Activia lowfats are mostly vanilla, but a fruit one sometimes - I have tried having total 0% last 2 days and really like it (even ok without sweetner). Anja I have looked at a lot of your recipe ideas and...

So true - it is a real weakness of mine post 8pm when the daily grind is over having a treat - this will be tough especially without my usual glass of wine.

Feeling a bit tired today, but no slip ups yet and on day 17. Snacking on goji berries as pv day today whilst watching Apprentice - they are not bad and satisfy the snacking urge watching telly. Went to cinema last night loved Bridesmaids with the girls and resited all urges to share sweets...

Hi Cocomo I have really enjoyed reading your diary I can relate to a lot of what you have said. Did you decide to join the gym? I was paying a fortune for David LLoyd membership and hardly ever went...but it would really help if you have the time/motivation to go. Venus/Intuition razors are...

LOL! I read the back of the packet and saw the warning about 'laxative effect' I will not eat too many to avoid wind, but the laxative part has been helpful! I've tried the Sula strawberry and also the caramel sweets which are lovely (in small doses) also extra sugar free mints are brilliant...

I will try these tomorrow, they sound great!

Thanks for the advice, I will start posting my menus -I'll limit myself to 1 a day to begin with and see if it helps.

I really miss a glass of wine in the evenings and so far have managed to substitute with diet coke or fanta...now I'm craving snacks too and have tried a few sula sugar free sweets - what do you think? Calorie wise they aren't bad and no sugar at all, and they taste so yummy I'm not sure that...

I'm on my third week of dukan now and after the initial attack weight loss I have been very disappointed that I only really managed to lose 1-2 lbs in the second week. I have found the diet easy to follow so far and had a go at baking some muffins which was fun. My veggie hubby thinks I am mad...

Hi everyone I'm new too, until today I was finding things quite easy but like Mark I have developped a headache. Some great recipes and a nice surprise that rhubarb is allowed I look forward to having some after the 7 days of attack are up (I am really looking forward to Sunday!) Only slip so...
