I'm doing ok thanks. My first goal was to complete one week. Monday to Sunday. I did that last week. My next goal is to make it to 4 weeks. I'm going with baby steps.

Draw a line and restart!!

Hi Lisa. I have also just restarted weight watchers. I have tried various diets in the past but usually end up in slimming world which no longer seems to work. This time I have decided to do weight watchers however I am going to make a conscious effort not to have ready meals and loads of WW...

3lb off for me :-) Melissa85 - 45lbs -9lb (36lb to go) Mia - 33lbs = -1lb (32lb to go) Berry - 48lbs Mrs Dodd - 42lbs = -5lbs (37lb to go) Smurfy85 - 38lbs -2lb (36lb to go) Emmapetty - 42lbs CraftyLittleRat - 35 lbs -6lbs, (29 to go!) jubly - 35lbs -13lbs (23 lbs go) Katie-Cambridge -...

Not a great day. Really just want to eat. I'm not really hungry but I just feel like eating constantly. I'm trying to drink lots instead. Might have an early night.

Today was day 12 and I have remained strong. Felt a little unwell first thing again, but that soon passed after I had some water and a cup of tea. Had a bar for breakfast for a change which was nice. Still feeling heavy but I'm pretty sure that's TOTM. Weigh in is Monday so we'll see although...

Which BU do you work on Lindsey? I'm an M&Ser but I'm in store.

Been feeling really tired the last couple of days. Think that could be because it's TOTM though. Just feel like I could sleep for a week!! Today I have also had feelings of hunger. I don't think it was real hunger tho, more hormonal hunger and I managed to resist!! Turned my last shake into a...

Not feeling great this morning. Feeling very tired and weak. Was a little shaky first thing but I think that has passed. I've just had my first shake and a bottle of water and I've got a cup of tea here. Think I'll have a little bit of yogurt (supposed to have either 200ml of skimmed milk or 200...

Back from seeing my friends and I'm polishing my halo. I had steak and plain salad with a glass of water followed by 2 cups of tea. I gave the onion rings to my friend who was more than happy to take them. The next major challenge will be Monday.

I hope no one minds but I thought I would post a diary on here. I'm currently following the Certaslim rapid plan which consists of 4 shakes/meals/bars and an evening meal of protein and salad/veg plus two optional snacks. I've never done a diet like this before, the closest was Dukan which I...

Hello. I started last Monday at 12st 6.25lb. Yesterday was my first weigh in at 11st 12.25lb so a loss of 8lb which I was very pleased with.

My parents know because I'm living with them at the minute and my mum is doing the diet with me. I've told two people in work but that's all. People think I'm on a protein diet, which I am really. I'm ok most of the time. Tonight for example I'm going out for food with friends but I can have a...

This mornings weigh in showed an 8lb loss. Happy with that for my first week. Would love to get 6lb this week however TOTM is due, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

8lb off for my first week :-) Melissa85 - 45lbs -7lb (38lb to go) Mia - 33lbs = -1lb (32lb to go) Berry - 48lbs Mrs Dodd - 42lbs Smurfy85 - 38lbs -2lb (36lb to go) Emmapetty - 42lbs CraftyLittleRat - 35 lbs jubly - 35lbs -13lbs (23 lbs go) Katie-Cambridge - 42lbs -7lb (35lb to go)...

Hi both. I'm not doing Cambridge but a very similar diet (there's no forum for it tho so I'm hovering here). Tomorrow will be my first weigh in but I can feel a difference already. I've never done a diet like this before. I always turned my nose up when they were suggested but I've tried...

Does anyone mind if I join this. I'm not doing Cambridge though, I'm doing Certaslim, but there's no forum. I started on Monday with 35lb to lose and would ideally like to be there by the end of May in time for my sister's wedding in June. Melissa85 - 45lbs -5lb (40lb to go) Mia - 33lbs =...

Lots of the old gang are back.xx

Dukan fry (grill) up!! Turkey rashers, eggs, mushrooms (lovely cooked with red peppers too), tomatoes!! Yum!!

I'm back from tomorrow too girls. Won't be doing attack this time round though as its a bit difficult living with my folks again. Mum usually has tea ready when I get home so I'm going to be having a PV tea most days too. I need to make it fit with my life. My aim in 2 stone in 3 months. It's...

I have a fitbug that I bought a week ago. The step count varies greatly from that on my phone and it seems I don't do as many steps as I thought. I'm actually surprised at how few steps I do considering I'm on my feet most of the day. I'm up for the challenge.

Ones anyone know the syn value of oasis might drops please? I don't have any of the info to hand. Thanks.

What was the official weigh in result?

I don't do the mileage you do but I'm hoping to build up to it. I'm doing cycle Africa in October which is 350km in 5 days, so I need to put some serious training in. Alpen light bars, hifi bars (use HEB) and bananas are good then a few jelly babies to top up energy levels too.

The main advice would be to make sure you eat enough protein. It may sound obvious but we see lots of people limiting how much they eat. If you want 2 whole chickens for lunch then go for it.

I've just been on the official site and read the onion page. As far as I can see roast onions are fine. Taken from Dr D himself......... In France, it is difficult for a cook to work without using any garlic, onions, salt or pepper. Once the onion has been cooked enough to get rid of its...

Well Jo, my tea was amazing. Here's a photo Today has been a good day but it has been a struggle. Mother Nature sent my monthly gift so I have been craving all sorts. I proud to say I haven't given in though. Breakfast - Oatbran porridge with 1tbls goji berries Snack - SF Jelly with FF...

It's more flavoured egg I guess. 1 egg 1tbs Quark/yogurt/fromage frais Sweetener Lemon flavouring It's not bad for a bit of a sweet fix So today has been another good day and it's the last day of attack. I've spent most of the day planning what to eat for my first PV day. I'm thinking I'm...

I think it's because I work in a shop around food Jo. And there's always rubbish in the staff room. Had a pretty chilled out day today. Didn't get to sleep until the early hours, so had a bit of a lye in. Went to tesco this afternoon to pick up a few dukan bits that I was out of and ended up...

Attack day one complete!! Found today pretty easy. Probably helped that I'm off work this week. I'm back at my house now and I've been shopping so I have a fridge and freezer full of dukan friendly foods. Breakfast - Bacon and scrambled egg (won't be having bacon a lot) Snack - SF Jelly, 0%...

I have just re-read my diary from start to finish. I have decided to get back on the dukan wagon today. I'm up at my mums today but going home tonight. I am planning to do "old Skool" dukan but the only slightly dukan friendly foods in the house for breakfast were bacon and eggs so that's what I...

I know what you mean about the different versions of Dukan Jo. I logged on to the official Dukan web side for the first time in ages yesterday (never got to TW so membership still active). Apparently Pork tenderloin, extra lean ham and lean bacon is now allowed. I'm thinking I will probably go...

Prepare yourselves for the influx of new dukaneers.xx

I'm thinking it'll be slimming world green days until I move home. After that I'll be able to afford all the meat I can eat on dukan.

Provided the food you eat is on the Dukan list, you can eat as much as you like. My advice would be to not even look at the calories. If you're hungry, eat more. When I was doing dukan I would often eat a full chicken throughout the day.

So, technically I have until Sunday to lose the last 3lb as that is my Christmas party day, but tomorrow evening is official weigh in day. Fingers crossed everyone.

4 red onions thinly sliced, 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar, splash red wine vinegar, 300ml stock, sweetener. Place all ingredients in a pan, bring to the boil then simmer until all liquid has reduced. If the liquid is reducing and the onions aren't soft enough, add more water. I used 500ml of stock...

Weigh in yesterday showed a 2.5lb loss. Extremely happy about that. Yesterday however was our Christmas buffet in work. I was super good and resisted everything on my breaks, but later I caved and are loads of sandwiches, tea cakes and a mince pie. Back on track today though and doing a couple...

Just home from weigh in. 2.5lb off so 3lb to go and one weigh in left although 2 days less to next weigh in as I weighed today instead of Monday. Off to give myself a pep talk and make some soup.

Well my diet has been a bit hit and miss over the last few days. I haven't been horrendous, but I haven't been good either. I think December is going to be more about not gaining rather than losing. I will be back on plan 100% from January. There might be a bit of progress with my transfer. The...

I pledge to be 100% on plan (whichever plan that may be) during January. With the exception of my mums 60th birthday night. I WILL get to target in 2014.x

Super tired this morning. Exhaustipated you might say. Was supposed to start work at 9 but I really can't be bother so I'm aiming for half 9 now. Another cup of tea is in order first. Had a good day food wise yesterday. Homemade soup is getting me back on track. I'm going to speak to my...

Definitely. I'll actually be able to afford to leave the house other than just for work or a bike ride once I've moved :-)

I have decided to revive my diary although as you already know I'm not doing Dukan. Slimming world is going okay but it's very slow. I guess that's a good thing though. I seem to have a couple of losses then have a reasonable sized gain. Hopefully posting here again will help. This week in...

For you Pol, I shall search the depths of the dukan diaries to find my old diary and revive it.

My group if fab. Every time I tried SW before I never stuck at it and I'm sure it was because I didn't enjoy my group. This time I keep going and I stay every week even though I'm not doing very well.

I would use a flask and make soups. You can pour into a travel mug and drink.

2lb on this week so 5.5lb to go and 2 weigh ins. I don't think I'll do it but I'll give it my best shot.

It's ok, I've answered my own question 100ml is 3.5syns.

Does anyone know how many syns are in a glass of Buck's Fizz please.

Wind-eze or wind settlers work wonders.

Hi Everyone. I will be joining you all from this week. I weighed in tonight losing 1lb taking me to 10st 13.5lb so I have just managed to sneak into this group. I would ideally like to get to 10st 7lb by Christmas. Fingers crossed.x

Thanks Sidd. How are you doing?x

1lb off for me this week which means 3.5lb to go and 3 weigh in's until my Christmas party. It's getting tense now.

Well done.x

I'm going to have to say see you soon everyone. I lost 1lb this week taking me to 10st 13.5lb. Just snuck in there. Hopefully you'll all join me in the other group soon rather than me coming back here. Good luck everyone.xx

Half a pound off for me this week so 4.5lb to go.

Weighed in at 11st 0.5lb this week so I'm nearly there!!

It's coming off albeit slowly. I've lost 10.5lb since I joined.

So today isn't officially weigh in day but I jumped on the scales first thing sans clothes, which is how I used to weigh in for dukan. On my last dukan weigh in I was 10st 12.8lb. This morning I weigh 10st 12.7lb!!!! I finally got back down. Woohoo!!! Of course I won't expect to see those...

Just repeating what you told me Sidd.x

Well done Jessy. Hopefully I will be joining you soon. I was 11st 1lb on Monday. I'm not holding out much hope for this week but maybe the week after.

Well done to you too Sidd. I always find the first day is the hardest.x

I agree. Everyone is doing really well.x

Lost 2lb this week so 5lb to go and 5 weigh in's to my Christmas party. Minimum of 1lb a week from now on.x

Wow, that's fab. Well done.xx

How did you do Pol?

I'm guessing you just slice through the cabbage??

Good luck Sidd. You can do it.x

Really struggled yesterday as I had 7 syns and all my healthy extras by lunch time but I somehow managed to get through the day on plan. Breakfast - banana, 35g porridge oats (B), skimmed milk (A), Raspberries Snack - 2 treat size milky ways (7) Before work - 2 slices wholemeal bread (B), 2...

Honk days 14 and 15.

Today's food...., Breakfast - 35g Porridge oats (B), skimmed milk (A), mixed berries Lunch - sweet and spicy mug shot, Banana, Apple Snack - Curly Wurly (6) Tea - Two slices wholemeal bread (B), Quorn slices, 40g RF cheddar (A), onion. 2 Flumps (3), treat size pack of buttons (4) Haven't had...

Hi Everyone I've been doing slimming world for 16 weeks and I have lost 8lb. I have been good for 95% of the time but the weight just doesn't seem to be coming off so I thought I would start a diary on here to see if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong. I have everything I have eaten in the...

Another gain this week. I've been really good all week so feeling a bit fed up with it. So half a pound on means 7lb to go and six weeks to do it in.

I gained half a pound this week. Absolutely gutted as I have been so good!!!

Honk for yesterday - day 13.

Honk number 12 for yesterday.

You can do it Sidd.

Honk for yesterday. Day 11,

Honk day 10 for me.

Good luck Jessy. We'll keep each other on track.

Hello everyone. I joined 15 weeks ago at 11st 11.5lb. I have been taking the scenic route but I'm now at 11st 2.5lb. Ideally I would like to be at my interim target of 10st 7lb by Christmas but I would settle for just being in the 10's by then.

How is everyone doing??

Honk - Day 9!!

I don't like green tea either but tetley do a blend of normal and green tea. It's really nice. Tastes like normal tea but has all the properties and goodness of green tea.

Honk Day 8.

Honk for day 7 yesterday.

Thanks girls. Fingers crossed for another good loss next week.x

4lb off for me this week so 6.5lb to go and 7 weeks to go!!

Honk x6 ?

My initial goal is to lose 4 weeks in a row. My most is 3 so far then I gained most of it back!!

Black Tower do a Low alcohol wine. It's 5.5% and isn't too bad. Actually feels like you are having a drink. I'm pretty sure I worked it out to be 16.5 syns for the bottle which isn't bad.

I'm on week 15 and have lost 5lb. I seem to lose for a couple of weeks then put it all back on no matter how good I am. I daren't give up!! If I can gain weigh when I'm being good, I dread to think what would happen if I pigged out!!

Well, it was 3.5lb on for me tonight ? I have to say I am gutted. I am going to add that 3.5lb to the 7lb I said I wanted to lose so now my aim is 10.5lb by 15th December. Considering I've been on SW for 14 weeks and lost a grand total of 5lb it's unlikely I will do it but I'm certainly going...

Ooohh. Can I come ?? Pleassseeeee.

Thanks Sidd. You sound really motivated for this. My weigh in is Monday evening and my Christmas party is the day after yours. I was 11st 3lb at weigh in on Monday but after a couple of meals out with wine, I may have gained a few pounds. I have a photo of me from last New Years Eve when I was...

I'm in!! Although I won't be doing Dukan. The support over here is much better. I promise not to post about the carby things I'm eating. :-) I want to lose another half a stone before Christmas.

I'm still here although I've gone to the dark side diet wise. Much prefer these boards to the SW ones though.

Are all diet drinks free? I hadn't really thought about it until a friend who has recently joined slimming world asked me today.

This happened to me last week. I was good all week, then I gained 3lb. The week before I had been an angel too so it can't have been the after effects of a bad week. I stepped off the scales so annoyed and when my consultant was talking to me in image therapy, I had to fight back the tears. She...

Wow!! I used to eat both of them with veg on the side pre slimming world. Won't be doing that again.

Haha, we'll be renaming this board soon. Ex dukaneers, now slimming worlders.

Thanks Sididd. I know I should be happy and ordinarily I would be over the moon but after a month away from group I rejoined 5 weeks ago and I have lost 3.5lb in those 5 weeks however I am 1lb heavier than when I joined in April. I was super super good last week so was hoping for at least...

Wow, we'll done Pol!!!x I only lost half a pound this week. :-(

Hi Jo. Yes you can have dukan muffins. You would have the oatbran as your healthy extra but you would have to syn the wheatbran. 25g is only 2.5syns so it wouldn't be high as I think 25g is quite a bit. I can't speak for Pol but I am really enjoying the plan and I still have some of my dukan...

Since I joined I've been on 2 holidays,I've been to a festival and had a birthday so I've pretty much been maintaining. Until now!! I'm on a mission now.x

Have you joined me on the slimming world plan Pol?

According to syns online, the tuna ones are 6.5 syns on EE. The beef ones are 2 syns on EE and I think the pork ones are 2 as well.

There are two waffle desserts listed............ J D Wetherspoon, Belgian Waffle with Maple Syrup, Banana & Ice Cream. (per serving) 43½ J D Wetherspoon, Belgian Waffle with Fruit Compote & Ice Cream. (per serving) 27½

I know it's a bit late now but the chocolate brownie Sundae is 44.5syns

I just searched for these online and found this....... Hope this helps.

I seem to remember being told they were 1 syn each. I might be wrong though.

Cheese burgers with wedges and salad

I've tried loads of different flavours of green tea and didn't like any of them. Tetley now do a blend of normal tea and green tea and its lovely. The packet says it has all the goodness of green tea but tastes like normal tea.

Bacon and egg cups, WW sausages, mushrooms and beans. Yum yum.

I completely understand what you are saying. Before I joined slimming world I was following the Dukan diet so no carbs except 2tbs of oat bran a day no fruit and veg only every other day. Now on SW potatoes, pasta rice etc are free and fruit and veg are super free. For the first few days I...

I've just found these in Asda. Couldn't even wait until I got home to try one. They are gorgeous. Even better than the chocolate orange ones. Do they even still do those?

Melon and yogurt topped with oatbran. Then for brunch, bacon, eggs, mushrooms and beans.

Morning everyone. I've just weighed myself and realised my slimming word weight and Dukan weigh in's are at different times and different circumstances. When I was weighing in on Dukan, it was first thing in the morning with nothing on. On slimming world it's in the evening fully dressed. So...

Cheese burger and salad with babybel inside the burger.

Today's lunch was left over beef stew. It was gorgeous.

Why not make butternut squash chips? Or celeriac? Not quite the same but still nice.

Thanks girlies. I've ended up going to the dark side and I've joined slimming world. I figured I've got half a chance of being slightly good on holiday if I'm on slimming world. Haven't posted on the SW forum yet. I don't feel as comfortable over there yet. First week on plan is done and I...

I think I need to join this thread. I'm terrible. I seem to weigh myself all the time. At least a couple of times a day. What I see doesn't seem to effect me, if anything it helps. If I'm up, it make me more determined to try harder. If it's down, I don't want to ruin it.

Thanks girls. Hope you've all had a lovely easter. I've been in hiding. I fell off the dukan wagon just over a week ago. I've got rid of all the really naughty stuff from the house but I still have fruit and fruit yogurts here. I go on holiday in 2 weeks so I think I'm going to do a kind of...

Thanks for the advice Jo. I don't think the problem is the turkey sausages but they probably don't help. I've only brought them twice and I had already plateaued before that.I'm not planning on buying them again thought as they are too easy to eat and as you said, they could have fillers etc in...

I do have a lot of yogurt though. I can easily go through a 500g tub in a day and with my milk if I have porridge and the cottage cheese I have too, some days I have quite a fair bit. I'm just trying to figure out what it could be. Another good day yesterday diet wise but not a good day PV...

Another good day yesterday. Breakfast - 3 turkey sausages, 2 HB eggs Lunch - 3 chicken drumsticks (should've had more, was hungry later) Snack - Oat bran and FF yogurt Tea - 4 turkey rashers, Cheesy eggs Snack - 2 chicken legs Drinks - water, Tea, Not bad. It's TOTM so I'm not weighing as I...

It just means I've written on the thread to bump it to the top of the page so its easy to find.

I've heard of people squirting washing up liquid on the plate as soon as the kids are finished.

I've just bumped the thread for you. I'd recommend making it with cottage cheese.

Bumped as a couple of people have asked recently.

Cheese burger pie is the way forward. I'll see if I can find the recipe.

I won't be going off plan like that again in a hurry. I enjoyed the meal but not enough to suffer again. If I'd have known before hand, I would've stuck to steak and salad.

I just wanted to say, I agree with you completely. I've tried every diet under the sun but failed at all of them and i know its partly because all of their forums were either really quiet or full of people who simply say "search, the answer will be somewhere" to all the newbies instead of trying...

Today has been a good day. The sky man or should I say men, were only 5 minutes late and it only took them about 15 minutes to set up as they used the sky dish that's already up. I'm not complaining tho. Had a flick through the channels this afternoon and I've set some of the workouts on fitness...

Another good day yesterday. And I'm pleased to say I didn't have any yogurt. Mainly because I have run out and I was too lazy to go to the shop for more. Still, if it helps in my quest to cut down then it's all good. I ate a ridiculous amount of chicken yesterday, but the scales today tell me...

It's definitely good to be back online. The last 2 days have been pretty good. I'm proud of myself for being able to get straight back on track. I have realised that I've been having too much yogurt so I really need to try and cut down. Maybe I'll make some jelly up and have a portion of...

Oops, forgot to take that bit out. 30g of Cheese with less than 7% fat is a tolerated however it is almost impossible to find. It is just as good without it.

Cheeseburger Pie Ingredients: 500g lean minced beef 50g finely chopped onion 150g chopped mushrooms 3 eggs fat free Fromage frais salt & pepper to taste Fry mince, onion and mushrooms together until cooked season to taste, drain off fat. (I add fresh tomato too, and some herbs...

Hello and welcome. Everyone here is really friendly and I have found it an enormous help in keeping me on track. I have to say though, if that was my food diary for today, I would probably be munching on my arm right now. Here's what I've eaten today.... 4 slices turkey bacon, 3 eggs...

Hi mike. Welcome to dukan. Sounds like you're doing well so far. This forum is great. Without it, I think I would've given up ages ago.

Well, my Internet is all up at running at home now so I have no excuse to not post. After my 2 days away and a major lapse resulting in a painful stomach, I am back on plan today. Potatoes, bread and such can all stay away. I was going to do a few days with no tollerateds but I'm planning on...

Thanks Jo. My stomach still isn't right today. I opted for an Atkins style breakfast otherwise I would've been going hungry all day. There was a hash brown on my plate but I was actually too scared to eat it. Can't cope with having pains all day today. Scooter, I wish I'd read your post a...

Ok, so the last few weeks, as good as I've been, I have really struggled. Every day I have fancied something I shouldn't have but I've resisted. Until today! I'm away in Manchester for a work course tomorrow. Looking at the hotel menu there were so many lovely things and not much Dukan...

South Wales would be perfect :-)

I had been feeling really tired with little energy. I realised I hadn't been eating much veg on my PV days so I decided to have a few PV days in a row and now I'm alternating again and I'm making more effort to get enough veg into my PV day. I feel much better now.

I'm not sure if this is an option for everyone but when going on forum meet ups before we have tended to go to London as most people can get there really cheaply on megabus or national express. Travelodge is also cheap if you book in advance. You can get rooms from £29 I think.

Not a bad two days. I have managed to take food to work with me 2 days in a row. I'm on a course tomorrow in london which is where it gets more difficult. I'll take breakfast and lunch with me but I'll either have to buy something for tea or wait until I get home which could be late. I'm going...

I sometimes have the rice with chilli or curry. It's not too bad. Makes me feel like I'm eating a carb loaded meal. I haven't had the noodles but I have tried the spaghetti. It was a bit chewy but I'm sure if I tried I could get used to it. I have noticed when I have the rice that I feel a bit...

Right, I have some kind of connection so I am back. I haven't been doing very well for the last month so I've decided I need to go back to posting daily. I've only had a couple of 'treats' (one night out and one takeaway for a friends birthday) and I've gone straight back on plan afterwards...

Just a quick update to say I'm still on plan and I now weigh 10st 13.6lb. I am very very pleased. I'm all moved into my new place however I have no Internet or mobile signal at the moment so won't be able to update unless I do it at work. I'll try pop in every now and again but will officially...

Thanks girlies. Made me feel better. Well aren't I the stupid one??? I was just leaving for work with bags full of stuff to take to the new house on my way home, I close the front door and realise I've left my keys on the table. Doh!!! Luckily I have my phone to call my housemate who works a...

I'll be moving house but I want to know all the gossip.

Finally have my house keys :-) Yey. Got them yesterday morning. Been scrubbing the house the last two days and there's still lots to clean. Unfortunately I still have to go to work so its going to take longer than I'd like. The kitchen is pretty much done though. Really struggling to stick to...

I've been struggling to figure out what to give up. Was considering giving up tollerated items but I couldn't live without my BBQ sauce. I've only had a cup of tea so far so I still have time. A friend of mine has given up Facebook for lent.

This made me chuckle. :-)

Thanks girls. I was very proud of myself. Still no keys for my house. Feeling a bit fed up about it now. So much to do and running out of time. I was holding out thinking I may still get then today then I received a phone call around 5 from the agents saying they're still waiting for 2...

I made this once while I was on slimming world. It was really nice but I overcooked it slightly. Would be lovely with dukan BBQ or Sweet Chilli sauce.

I'd like to add, my housemates have had friends over and they have eaten a 3 course meal including cheese and biscuits and lots of wine and I have resisted every little bit. I am currently drinking flavoured water from a wine glass.

Well I haven't got my house keys. I'm a bit disappointed by this fact. Fingers crossed ill get them tomorrow. I could really easily have eaten chocolate and washed it down with wine tonight. Instead I munched on half a chicken before having chilli with slim rice for tea. 2 months ago it...

Morning everyone. Struggling to post daily at the minute but I do have a sneaky read when I get a few minutes. Should be getting the keys to my house today too so busy times ahead. Today is my Weight loss challenge weigh in day and I am extremely pleased to announce I now weigh 11st 0.3lb...

As cute as your cats are girls, and as much as I love cats..,.,.. I more of a dog person :-)

Anyone who can go 18 months without alcohol is a saint in my eyes. I've only had 3 glasses of wine so far this year and I thought that was amazing. If I was you I'd make sure I had some pasta that day to line your stomach. I'm sure you'll only need one maybe 2 drinks to get you up dancing now.

I weigh most days but in my head it only counts after a PP day. I hate it when my official weekly weigh in day is after a PV.

Just wrote a long post then lost signal when I pressed sent so I've lost the post. :-(

I just made something similar to this without the tollerateds. I used.... 1 egg 1tbs Quark Sweetener Lemon flavouring Then I nuked it for 2 and a half minutes. It was lovely. I will definitely make it again. I may even use cocoa powder when I get some fresh. Thanks for the idea.

Unfortunately I am definitely moving house so that's the weekend my folks are coming down to help with the bulky stuff. Sorry. :-(

I'd probably last until mid day at the most!!! Then I'd be feeling weak.

Woohoo!!! I've made it over the 1 stone mark. I have officially lost 1st 0.2lb!!!!!! It also means I've lost the 2lb needed for the weightloss challenge this week. I am so very happy this morning. 2.3lb to go to get into the next stone bracket and 18.2lb to get to TW. I fell asleep last...

How do I not know about these?? I shall be investigating tomorrow!!

Morning everyone. I'm pleased to say the last 2 days I have remained on plan. Weigh in this morning shows a 0.5lb gain but yesterday was PV and after my little "treat" on Saturday, I'm not worried. Weightloss Challenge started yesterday and I noticed something very strange. For the last...

Thought I'd better update about my weekend. Firstly...... I've got the house... Woohoo. Well, I get the keys on the 11th. I can't wait. It's going to be so nice having my own place. I don't officially move in until the 25th but I really can't wait!!! Last night my housemates mum and dad took...

I have to say, my fourth walk of the day, even though there was no rain or wind, was much more difficult than the first. My feet hurt now. The boots I had on definitely weren't made for walking. I made some muffins to eat on the train this morning. I flavoured them with a little reduced fat...

Well, my second walk of the day was again against the wind, but this time with rain thrown in as well. My poor umbrella is in the bin as the wind snapped it. I also too the wrong road so my 20 minute walk took 40 minutes.

Today's exercise well and truly done. Train leaving at 8am. 25 minute walk to the station plus need to buy tickets. Still in the house at 7.40. I made it!!! Against the wind too. Shattered now and I've got another 3 of those walks to do today.

A quick morning weigh in shows 0.5lb off taking me to 13.5lb in total. Saturday is my official one month weigh in though. Fingers crossed I lose at least another half a pound to make it to a stone. I've just figured out, I need to lose 1.9lb a week to make it to my TW on time. That's doable. If...

We have a microwave in work so I make oat bran porridge Jo. I've always loved cereal in the morning. If I could have weetabix I would be extremely happy. Oat bran porridge is the next best thing. I have however made muffins for tomorrow. I'm on a course so I've made muffins to eat on the...

Here you go Pol. This is direct from the dukan website.

I use cottage cheese instead of fromage frais. I use about half a tub with 3 eggs. I also leave out the mushrooms so that its good for PP days.

To feed your human interest gene..... I am a deli counter manager at M&S. I work with all the fresh food including making fresh pasta, cooking pies, pasties and sausage rolls. Selling cheeses, meats and restaurant quality meals such as lasagne, fish pie, fish cakes etc. Whenever we get new...

Absolutely love it. Last night they sat and polished off a Christmas tube of munchies. It's still not phasing me though. Haven't properly updated for a few days again. I'm pleased to say I am still sticking to plan. Even went out for tea tonight. I suggested nandos which my friend was...

I might not be able to come guys. If I move house that'll be the weekend I move most of my stuff. Sorry :-(

We have one very happy girly here in rainy Wales!!!!! I just decided to try my old size 12 work trousers on, purely because I haven't got any clean for the morning. I wasn't holding out much hope but 2 of the 5 pairs fit me!!! Woohoo!!! Ok so they're a little tight but the still fit!!! I'm...

Well I've just popped in to let you all know how my housemates healthy eating smoothie diet is going.......... He's currently making sausage casserole and she's just polished off a grab bag of wotsits and half a chocolate orange. Ordinarily I would have been dying for some of the chocolate...

Have I told you????? I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

Well I haven't updated properly since Monday night. It's been a bit of a strange week. Found out on Wednesday that a girl I used to work with passed away that day. She was 3 years younger than me. I'm only 31. Needed someone to talk to so stupidly text my ex. Not good. Won't move on if we keep...

I have just re-attempted Cheeseburger pie. I messed it up first time. This time I used the cottage cheese with onion and chives and made them in my silicon muffin tray. I also made BBQ sauce to go with them. I have to say, this is now my favourite PP day meal.

Just a quick update to say I weighed in this morning at 11st 4.2lb. That's 12.2lb down. Woohoo.

Me too. And slimming world.

Well, the verdict is in. I have to say it wasn't bad. I'd definitely buy them again as it felt like a proper meal. I think after having the spaghetti a few times I'd get used to it. It was a bit like I hadn't quite cooked spaghetti enough. Al dente I guess.

Yep. Holland and Barratt. Just waiting for the house mates to finish in the kitchen then I'll be making mine. I'll keep you updated.

Grrr. I was hoping you'd found them on offer somewhere.

Where did you order the variety pack from?

I Could imagine this being nice using piri piri cottage cheese. Yum yum!

Trust me, I was very tempted to throw them away. If they'd been mine I would have. It just goes to show how strong my will power really I'd though. I have no excuses any more. Thanks Jellie, 6lb and I'll be half way so that's my next mini target. Not long got home from work. I'm shattered...

Same here.

Morning everyone. This mornings weigh in revealed a 0.5lb weight loss meaning 10.8lb lost in total with 21.6lb to go. I'd like to lose 1.7lb by the end of the week so that I have less than 20lb to go. Gym never happened this morning. I contemplated it but my head was too foggy so I went...

Haha, Thanks Jellie. If I manage to go tomorrow it will be a miracle. I'll need to get there by 9 at the latest so we'll see what time I wake up. I'm useless at doing anything before I work a late. Failing that I will definitely definitely go on Tuesday after work.

Well, I've been back in the land of the Welsh for around 3 hours and I've already eaten lots of chicken with more ready for snacks in the fridge as well as some hard boiled eggs. I am pleased to say I managed to spend 4 whole days at my parents house and I didn't touch a single chocolate or...

Haha! That photo was taken a year ago in the Dominican Republic. I was about half a stone lighter than I am now. Woke up to breakfast in bed again today. It was the same as yesterday but with tomatoes added. I've had a very chilled out day again today. Haven't done much at all. My sister came...

I've been scouring the net to find some offers. I've found some noodles on a discount site but I'm a bit unsure about ordering food from a random site I've never heard of. They're sumatto noodles. They're exactly the same, it's just because its a random site. If anyone has had them before, I...

That is absolutely amazing.x

That's exactly what I did with mine. I plan to get some more so I can experiment. It's just the cost that is going to set me back a bit. CheeseGirl - These one are sold Ambient so I keep them in my cupboard.

I just read another review for the slim rice. They made rice pudding with it and said it was amazing. I think I may need to try that myself.

Well the dogs have absolutely loved the snow. They've spent more time playing outside today than any other day. Only trouble is, because they're little dogs, the snow sticks to their bellies and freezes so when they come back in they have little icicles on them. Hasn't stopped them wanting to go...

Not far off if you dry fry them after giving then a really good rinse. You need to add plenty of flavouring or a sauce as they have no taste. I'll be buying them again.

Hi Sidd. These are the ones I use. Well, I've only tried the rice one so far but I've got a pack of the spaghetti one too. When I read the back they are the same as shirataki noodles. Hope this helps.x

Thanks Sidd. Ellie, slim rice is the same as the shirataki noodles just in rice form. I was a bit dubious before I tried them but if you prepare them correctly and flavour them then they are not bad. Good day so far. Woke up to breakfast in bed from my dad. It's usually bacon sandwiches but...

Haha. I thought it was just me. I've had a fair few of these dreams. In the first one I ate a whole chocolate cake. Unusual because I'm not a big cake fan. The latest one i ate 2 pizzas to myself then finished my friends leftovers. Ha. Not good!!

I haven't managed to find any squash that we can have. I found some flavoured water in tesco's but it works out expensive if you drink a lot.

Good day all round my end. Woke up to find the dogs snuggled up to me, one on each side which was lovely. Really miss it when I'm not here. My parents got home around 11.30. They've bought me 2 bottles of apple vodka back. Yum yum. My sister came over with my niece who's 5 months old this...

I think I'm going to restart the C25K when I get home next week. Need to make use of the gym membership I bought in August.

So, there's a red weather warning back home and I'm up in the midlands. Think of all the snow I'm missing :-(

If I make it through until Sunday without going completely off track, it will be a miracle. My mum is a hairdresser so gets tons of chocolates and wine for Christmas. Her and my dad went on holiday on new years day and got back today so there are still loads of chocolates, biscuits and wine...

Well, I made it up here. Roads weren't to bad on the way up and got to the dogs just in time. They were very pleased to see me and have barely left my side since we got home. Food wise, everything has been good today. I tried the 'Slim Rice' tonight. I think I will try it again, but I'll...

I had a black Gilet for Christmas, couldn't do it up. Now I CAN do it up! Woohoo!! It's tight, but I can do it up!!!! Also, I've just realised.... My rings were getting really tight before Christmas. Had to take one of them off. Now, said ring keeps turning itself round on my finger. Woohoo!!!

Pssst.... Reena.... Over here......Don't tell Pol, but i use ketchup to make BBQ sauce too. Here is the official word on Ketchup from Dr Dukan himself..... Ketchup If you fancy some or need some, 2 tablespoonfuls can be tolerated. Otherwise, I can recommend you try reduced salt and sugar...

Haha. I am indeed. Well, I'll be passing you. I'm off to Burton. I seem to be putting the journey off. Wish I could click my heels together like Dorothy.

Thanks Jo. I've decided I just won't talk to them about my diet. It's not worth the negative comments I get. Official weigh in day today. There seems to be something about Wednesdays, its the day I stay the same. Saying that thought I'm feeling quite heavy today so I think TOTM may be heading...

Thanks both. Feeling much better now. I went for a lovely walk around the lake this afternoon and took a couple of photos. I thought the geese were going to attack me at one point but I got away unharmed! Haven't been very imaginative with the food today but I enjoyed it none the less...

Ooh. There's still hope for me then.

Haha. Okay okay, I will! No sessions I can get to this week though as I'm off to my folks house for a few days from tomorrow. I will however, get changed, pull on my wellies and go for a walk around the lake.

When I started skating, I did one session - about an hour and a half - and I could barely walk up the stairs for nearly a week afterwards. Shame I didn't keep it up. Maybe I'll start going again.

Haha. I'm thinking 'Jonesin' is going to be used a lot more round here now.

"Jonesin" Originally used to describe withdrawl symptoms caused by an addiction. An extreme craving. also; "jonesing" Haven't heard 'Jonesin' for ages.

Haha. I love Eeyore. He's my all time favourite character. Well this morning I should be over the moon, in fact 5 minutes ago I was. I weighed in this morning 11st 6.1lb, meaning I've lost another 1.2lb taking my total my total to 10.3lb. Well, I was ecstatic, until I told my house mate. Her...

I really enjoy PP days too. I actually struggle more on PV days for some reason. Maybe because there's too much choice and variety on PV days. Last time I did Dukan i was the exact opposite and hated PP days. How strange.

Ended up staying home. Decided it was too late to be going out. And it started to rain.

. Such fun!!!

Thanks girls and 'High Five' Pol!! Another good day today. Even went for a walk. My housemate and I walked into town and back which is about 20 minutes each way. While I was in town I bought some slim rice and slim spaghetti from holland and Barrett to try. I know a lot of people don't like...

Morning everyone. Weighed in this morning at 11st 7.3lb. So that's 9.1lb lost in 12 days. I'm very very happy with that. Have a good day everyone, I'll update properly later.x

Thanks Sididd, I've felt much better today. Started taking Multi vitamins today too so that should help. Another good day today. Been home alone today. Haven't done very much and only left the house to pop to the shop. Might have a wander into town tomorrow. I don't need anything but it'll be a...

I know exactly what you mean about the Internet dating. It hasn't got me anywhere so far. People in work keep telling me I need to get out more but I realised the other day that none of my friends are single so finding someone to go out with isn't that easy. Ho hum, my mr right will find his...

Happy Sunday everyone. I ended up staying in last night. Had a lovely relaxing evening. Had the left over chilli from thursday evening and I tried cauliflower rice again. Really enjoyed it. So yesterday.... Late Breakfast - Turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes Snack - Muffins, 2...

Lol. Even my phone is quiet. Incase you hadn't guessed Pol. That's me that just added you.x

This sounds exactly like me!!!

Hello everyone. Haven't updated for a few day but I'm pleased to say I have completely stuck to plan. I've been extremely tired the last couple of days but I don't think it's got anything to do with dukan. I worked a late night then an early morning and that's completely wiped me out...

Quorn mince is allowed as is the chunks but the sausages, burgers etc aren't allowed.

When I did the diet last time I went to a beefeater. For starter I had the prawn cocktail without the sauce and for main I had steak and salad no dressing. The only think I forgot was to ask for my salad with my stead plain. It had crispy onion bits on it which I had to pick off. They were more...

I just read about the 3 can limit aswell, I usually have 3 or 4 cans and it hasn't don't me any harm so far.

I joined up year and a half ago and got a discount so only paid about £50. I should've reached my target weight within about 3 months. I gave up after a while so obviously never reached my target. I signed on the other day and entered my weight. As I'm still not at target my account is still...

Thanks girls. The last 2 days have been good ones again. Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's PV day I'm pleased to say. I had a lovely cooked breakfast which included 2 dry fried eggs, 3 rashers of turkey bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms. Absolutely amazing. Bought my favourite bag of salad too so...

I didn't enjoy my first PV day either. My salad was dry and boring. My second PV day I bought the sweet and crisp salad, the one that's iceberg lettuce with bits of carrot, cabbage and peppers in it and it was so much nicer.

STONEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! Yyyeeeaaaahhhhh!!!! Sorry, got a bit carried away.

Well done. You are certainly an inspiration.x

:-) well a girl can try. Now if I could only find something that looks, smells and tastes like Rosè then I'd be a very happy girl. So, this mornings weigh in reveals a 1.8lb loss taking my total to 6.4lb with 26lb to go. I like to see the numbers go down every couple of days. It keeps me...

Haha. I go by chickens. The chickens we have on our counter are approx 1.1kg so I keep telling people how many chickens I've lost.................. by eating chicken.

Another good day for me today. Managed to get out of work after 2.5 hours today which i was amazed at. Went to the supermarket on the way home as I really fancied hot chicken for lunch but it was too early to buy a cooked one from work so I bought a raw one. Popped it in the oven as soon as I...
