Poorly :( feeling really off so boys are now looking after me xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I've heard so many times that maintaining is harder than losing the weight! It is a very scary prospect for you being there and for those of us aiming for it. I do think our "issues" with food are still there no matter what our weight is and being at goal doesn't make it any easier, in some ways...

Well done on a fab loss and belated birthday wishes :) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I still weigh everyday but only track my weigh in after my PP day as I find that I can gain slightly after PV but it's big a true reflection of my achievements. Your doing fab and if you stick to the plan it will come off :) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done again :) you'll soon be at your mini goal xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Lost another 1.25 this morning so a total of 11 lb in 2 1/2 weeks.....so happy :) PV day today so next weigh in on Sunday x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hiya :) firstly well done on your loss, a stall is classed as 2 weeks so yes your nearing that so can imagine how frustrated you are. Are you expecting totm? Any issues with movements? Sorry to be personal but those tend to be the two main issues. Perhaps try reducing dairy and upping pure...

I also gleamed enough to start plan, then as I started I re-read it and it all makes much more sense. Plus the amazing help from everyone here :) Good luck x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Dairy is limited to 1kg per day, ff cottage cheese as well as your ff yogurt is fine. I do tend to limit my dairy to 500g ish as had a tendency to stall my losses. Must admit never weighed twice a day since starting Dukan so not sure what my diff would be, don't think I'd want to know either...

Agree with comments and def want to reiterate not weigh morn and eve, weight will fluctuate greatly. How disheartening must that be and not an accurate measure of your success xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Did your galette stay in one piece? I'm the same, I pop to shop to get a few bits and come out with bags of protein!! Costing a fortune but it's getting results and not spending it on junk and takeaways so all evens out ( I hope lol ) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done on a fantastic loss, pork dish sound lovely..... Really looking forward to pork tenderloins, so pleased there allowed now. What do you think if the recipe book, I'd heard it was a lot of repeated receipts from the diet plan book? Interested to know Xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done on doing so well in difficult circumstances, its such a shame there aren't enough healthy choices at Indians, mexicans and Chinese.
