:553: Congratulations!!! :553: Awesome milestone achieved, well done! Be proud of yourself, u should be!!

Fantastic milestone!!! I can't wait to get there myself. i'm getting closer and closer. I'm nearly half way. You should b very proud of yourself. It's good to celebrate the small milestones along the way, it helps spur us on and keep our spirits high. Looking forward to hearing more about your...

Hi Dukaneers... I just wanted to share with u all, the fact that i'm only 1.65kg off being half way to my goal. I've lost a total of 15.4kg now on the Dukan diet. I'm so over the moon. I'm very proud of my efforts and i feel better than I have in 7 years. I'm even thinking...my original goal...

I love this thread!! I've lost 11kg so far and whilst I've got 20kg to go. I've started receiving some really encouraging compliments. Things like "wow, u r looking really well!". Or "wow, how much weight have u lost now, u look great!" My husband felt my side in bed one night and was like "I...

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted on the forums for a little while, just wanted to touch base with all of my fellow dukaneers. I'm still doing really well on the diet. Sticking to it 99.9% of the time and losing weight slowly & steadily. I joined the gym 3 weeks ago so i've noticed my weight loss...

I have been reading some threads where people have gone off the Dukan track and are asking if they should do a few days of attack to counteract their bad behavior. Most experienced dukaners are giving the advice to simply do a few days of PP instead of attack. My question is...apart from the...

6 weeks in....16lb lost!!! Woop Woop!!! Self indulgent post...but i'm so excited i couldnt resist telling everyone! I actually measure in kg's - so 7.3kg lost and i'm below 95kg 3 days before my actual weigh in date and the date that i wanted to be under 95kg by. Plus i've gone from having...

Yes, even the smallest of milestones help so much!!! Thanks for all support & encouragement everyone!! Xo

Well, here in Australia...it's Thursday morning again and that for me my friends, means weigh in day! Stepped on the scale this morning...have lost 1.3kg (2.866lb). 6.7kg in total now. 5 1/2 weeks into my Dukan diet. I'm so so happy!!! 200g to go to get me below 15st and into the 14's!!! Not...

Awesome!! Not far off redbooties! It's an amazing feeling.

Thanks everyone! I'm beyond thrilled!! I am really starting to notice the change in my body too. I'm sooo looking forward to my next mini goal, 10kg! Bring it on!!

Hi Everyone, Well...I wasnt meant to be weighing in til thurs (as that is my official weigh in day) but I had a 'gut feeling' i needed to get on the scale this morning (maybe my 'gut' felt slimmer? lol) Drum roll please................................ I made my first mini goal of losing a...

Finally after 14 days of no weight loss and some minor fluctuations (up, then back down again) I have lost some more weight!! I've only lost 400g...but a loss is a loss and when you've had a couple weeks of 'stalling' for unexplained reasons...i am so happy i have lost!!! I am finally below...

I have also stayed at the same weight fir the past 14 days. I have not cheated and I've been eating adequate amounts of protein. I'm very disheartened. I had a really successful attack phase and first week of cruise I had a 800g loss or there abouts but since then I've lost nothing and in fact...

Wasn't going to weigh this morning but I was curious. Up another few hundred grams. What the?! I have a feeling that rotating 1/1 is not for me. I'm going to try 4/3 then rotate that weekly 4pp 3pv then following week 3pp 4pv. Might give my body a chance to expel any extra fluid having more PP...

Thanks maintainer. :)

I always weigh first thing in the morning - naked lol. I really don't know the reason I'm fluctuating so much. Ive decided to try not to worry too much. Weigh myself only once fortnightly if I can stay off the scales!!! Lol and I'm going to measure monthly. I only measured for first time a few...

Hi All, Well...thursdays are my weigh in day even though i started Dukan 2 1/2 weeks ago on the monday. This week i am so confused. I've written about this on another thread but i wanted to bring it up again.. So far, i've lost a total of 5kg (11lb) in the 2 1/2 weeks which i guess is...

Thanks atropos! I totally understand now. Appreciate your help.

Ahh ok. Everyone keeps talking about being in ketosis and what your mouth taste like etc and I can't notice so I thought I'd test to b sure it's working and I am in fact in ketosis. Guess I wanted proof to say I'm in some sort of fat burning mode. I'm only in my 3rd week. I've lost weight but...

Hi everyone, Bought myself some ketostix this morning on my 15th day of the Dukan diet. Have a question. When is the best time to test for ketosis? I did a test this morning after I bought the stix, it was before I'd eaten or drank anything. The result was negative, I'm not in ketosis. Can...

Thanks for your replies ladies. I know it's not that time of month. I had that the other week while I was on attack & I didn't gain a pound!! (that's never happened at ttom before)! Attack must of helped keep fluid retention away. I'm not giving up hope coz so far the diet is really working and...

Hi Everyone, I'm really baffled this morning...I'm on my 10th day of Cruise and up until yesterday morning I was recording great weight losses every day (I can't help myself weighing every day lol). Yesterday I woke up and i'd gained 500g, today i've gained another 200g. I dont understand it. I...

I personally would go 1/1. One PP day then one PV day and keep that going. It makes the diet easier to do knowing u can have veg/salad every second day. U don't get time to miss it. And it works!!

Lol I wake up easier in the morning too. I seem to have alot more energy. But it could also b the lure of the scales coz I keep seeing results!! Love Dukan so much!!

Oh Debs! Put the popcorn away & get right into Dukan. I been on it for 14 days now and I've lost as of this morning. 5.3kg (11.66lb). It's the best diet in the world. If u stick with it. It really works!!!! Good luck Debs.

Never ever weigh again at night. How does it make sense when you've been feeding your body all day with food and liquid?!!! Of course your gonna weigh more at the end of the day. Always weigh in same time each day, morning being best. Eat more snacks. To me it looks like your menu is only...

Love that! Can't wait til I've lost enough weight for everyone to start noticing!

Well done Laura - it feels amazing doesnt it?! I love Dukan too!!! I'm on my 11th day and so far i've lost 9.24lb (4.2kg). Very very happy! It's such a good motivation to keep on going. I've not been tempted to stray from the diet at all. First time in a long time that i've been this focused...

Some really great responses to my thread. Thanks everyone. We can all look forward to these things once we reach our goals and then we can look back here & say wow I achieved all those things!! Its also nice to know I'm not alone in these thoughts. Such an amazing support group here. Love and...

I'd love that too. Especially when I'm out shopping I'd love to catch a glimpse of myself in shop windows & actually like what I see instead of wanting to run & hide & cry! Ohhh and those nasty dressing room mirrors!!

Thanks so much Karen. I'm on my 9th day and 3rd day on cruise. I've already dropped an impressive amount of weight in my first week which has been such a motivation to keep going and I'm loving the diet. I love the food and I finally got my galette recipe right today and enjoyed it!!! Yay! Your...

Love it!!!

Great job so far Catherine!!! I envy u having collar bones already!!

I too can't wait to be healthier, happier and have more energy!! Want to wake up in the morning and face the day head on feeling confident and be able to choose something nice to wear instead of daggy track pants and oversized tops!! Great response Barb. Good luck to u on your journey.

Hi Everyone, Was having a rather long conversation this morning with my beautiful sister in law about what we are looking forward to when we reach our weight loss goals. It was very interesting and got me thinking...and wondering, what are some of the things you are all looking forward to after...

Yw! I just had my first day on cruise phase after 6 days on attack and I'm loving it. Have lost a great amount of weight already & I'm never hungry. U will do well if u follow it exactly.

If u go to the Dukan uk website u can fill in a free profile/questionnaire and it'll tell u how long for your body type, weight etc that u need to do each phase for. I think it's www.Dukan.co.uk or something like that. Good luck and welcome to Dukan!!

wow - the incredible shrinking woman!!! u look amazing! well done on such an achievement!!!

You are such an inspiration!!! You had sadness behind your eyes when u were bigger...and now u smile from the inside out and thats whats important. Good on you for going out and doing what u needed to do for u to be happy. I hope i can do half as good as u have and start being proud of myself again.

Made myself some very lean Thai flavoured meatballs for lunch out of Turkey mince, which has no fat in it whatsoever...some coriander, chilli, garlic, ginger etc.. They taste so good i'm feeling guilty about eating them like i'm doing something naughty! lol I keep thinking..omg i'm such a pig...

Welcome Kitty and good luck with your weight journey! xo

Hi Allyson, I am on my 4th day of Attack and i'm loving it so far! I am looking forward to the day when i can eat some vegetables again...which is another 3 days away but i'm not struggling to bad on attack phase at all. I have all the food i need, i'm well organised and i'm in the right head...

lol. I feel your pain! I'm just started 4th day of attack and i'm ready for salad and vegetables too...but only a couple more days to go and I can have some. I just need to persevere...and seeing the loss on the scales is spurring me along nicely. Good luck on your Journey Bubbles!

I was meant to have started my journey a full week ago on the 14th July. But i had a massive lapse over the weekend and gorged myself stupid...gained more weight by monday. Monday i started Attack Phase of Dukan...as i still want to weigh in on Thursdays, I weighed in this morning 21st July...

Ok, well my first 3 days that i was meant to have started my journey - i was in a 'mood' lol. And ate all weekend. Grrr! I gained about 1.2kg over those 3 days. However, on monday I started the Dukan diet and hence, I have recorded a total weight loss from last week's weigh in...of 1.6kg. (thats...

I am in Australia.

Ooohh I was going to do 1/1 on cruise but thinking I might try your way. I weigh in on Thursday mornings so having protein only Wednesday's would b perfect and nice to b able to eat veg on weekends. Thanks for the idea!

I use kg too. I converted my weight to stone for the benefit of most people from the UK on this forum lol. I put my details in the Dukan website and got my free profile thingy. It advised me to b on attack for 6 days. 198 days on the next phase. I think I'm going to alternate 1/1 too. I've...

Currently I about 16st and want to make it down to about 10st. I am 5 ft 7. Hope u r traveling well on attack so far. My plan is to follow it for 6 days then rotate protein+ veg and only protein days 1/1 I think. What r u going to follow?

Hi everyone. I started Dukan and the attack phase yesterday. I have been doing it easy so far. Enjoying it and I have not drank so much water in a really long time. My body must b thanking me for it!! Would b interested to hear some success stories or attack phase weight loss results from some...

Hugs Sis. I'm going absolutely fantastically!!

Hi Tina Good luck & congrats on making the first step. It is very important to exercise but I live a rather sedentary lifestyle, always have and that's probably why I've always struggled with my weight. It's getting the energy to exercise that I struggle with. A vicious cycle. Too fat. Need to...

My shape is exactly the same. I've never had a flat stomach, never. Even when i was relatively slim..i still had a bit of a belly. I can remember seeing pictures of me when i was bout 6..and i have a pot belly already. Nothing has changed..except that its far bigger than it used to be coz i've...

Can't wait for Breaking Dawn. That book was the best one by far!!

The Others!! I didn't pick that ending either.

Lol. Some movies r so frustrating!!

Love Sons!!!!

Omg!! How could I forget, The Biggest Loser Australia. Love it!!

Love your choices!! Lots r the same as mine!

Thank u so much Evy. I must keep thinking about how much better I felt when I used to b slim. Confident, attractive, energetic, happy!! I want to b that again so bad.

That's my biggest hurdle. Staying motivated!!!

Thanks so much. :)

Hi Debs, Well done on realising that fad diets and quick fixes is not the way to go. They don't work long term and that is because they are not sustainable long term! I've tried every diet under the sun myself and have now realised that all i need to do is what i know works for me and my body...

Hi there. I'm new to the forum too and have just started my journey today. I'm going to try and weigh in weekly, but like Kim...i can't seem to stay off the scales! lol Cross fingers I can...coz i get discouraged when i see fluctuations even if on weigh in day i've lost. So i need to stay off...
