Really sorry if this isn't where this post should be but I've been longing for a dedicated buddy for ages! I've been teetering here for about 6months after losing a stone and would love a buddy to finish the journey with and maybe then continue maintaining with?! I don't mind what way you choose...

Hi Hutchie! Well, I definitely agree that healthy eating, with everything in moderation is the way to go. I spent three years trying to lose ANY weight with dukan, paleo, calorie counting etc. Would lose two and gain the same two over and over. In the last 3 months I've lost a stone without any...

Well done!!! Fantastic work Nikki!

You're doing great! just save your cals for your night out and stick to vodka... or sparkling water :D

I SO want to be part of this :) I hope I've done it right below-I want to lose 20lbs. ~Laura~ - 28lbs (0lbs lost, 28lbs to go) Ashna - 35lbs (4lbs lost, 31lbs to go) Babana - 19lbs (16lbs lost, 3lbs to go) Baby_Cakes - 42lbs (0lbs lost, 42lbs to go) Betterforever - 23lbs (2lbs lost, 21lbs to...

Ooh! I'll be very interested to see if this works well for you! I feel good after my first day counting the cals-I ate about 1300 all told. Not hungry at all!

Great!!! 16lbs in 11 weeks sounds totally possible... There's really nothing like the looming need to wear a bikini to motivate you! November is a great time to go on holiday. Good luck on your 1000cal days - increase your protein intake and reduce your carbs so you'll be less hungry ;) Chat soon

Hi Nikki! I've just seen your thread and would love to be your buddy! We have similar goals I think, as well as similar thoughts on how we'd like to achieve them, i.e. 1200cals/day with healthy food. I'd love to join you on your journey... I'll be keeping my eye on you ;) and hope to post to...

Yay! Discover points people :) I'm on Discover from tomorrow too after dropping out from propoints about 6wks ago. Her goes something good!

I wouldn't reccommend senna tea. It WILL work but I found I was worse than ever for days after I took it! Lots of mugs of warm water in the morning is somewhat helpful. I used fibresure a few yrs ago (nothing to do with dukan) and it's fantastic! Sadly you can't get it in Ireland anymore though...

Hi all! @ Wheesht: Yup-same here with regards to WW. I think I was eating more than ever...and I'd track 1 day out of 7..oh it just wasn't working out. You're doing FAB! I do know someone (vaguely) who has been getting great results on Dukan. She was kind of my inspiration to begin. She's...

I believe it's supposed to be 2/3 protein, 1/3 veg. I know you don't have the quantities there so just make sure it's not tonnes of veg with your turkey and mince!

That's fantastic-GO YOU!

YAY for you! Keep up the good work and keep on posting!

I'm no expert I'm afraid but I think that looks good-I would say watch your ratio of protein to veg though. Now... PLEASE do tell us how you burn so many calories at the gym! What sort of excercise do you do?:worthy::character00115: Well done on 7lbs so far!

Thanks people! I'll get rhubarb and try the wheatbran over the weekend. Gonna weigh in on Tuesday (one week from start date) so I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks agian for the advice :)

Oh you reminded me I must get rhubarb! Your menus always sound good and interesting. I bought the Dukan cook book but am considering taking it back. All the recipes are very french and a lot would be things I wouldn't usually eat.. terrines etc. Maybe I should give it go and I'll report back to...

Eh... hi there, i'm looking for a bit of advice on a mildly embarrassing question :sigh: I'm finished attack this evening :) and haven't weighed during the three days of it. I'd like to weigh tomorrow but unfortunately I've had a lot of "transit" issues and am NOT feelin much lighter... I am...

Lausanne-I read your motivational letter. It's amazing and I'm going to refer to it again and again. Hope you're doing well today! It's sunny in Ireland today so don't fear coming home too much!

Thanks for the advice-I took it and had breakfast today and yup, I believe it was a very good idea! BTW Lausanne-I read your motivational letter. It's amazing and I'm going to refer to it again and again. Hope you're doing well today! I'm going to weigh in on Friday for the first time so won't...

Oh no you're right maintainer! There's sugar in the chicken! I think it's just to brown the skin (which I removed of course) and there's less than a gram of carb according to the nitritional info as well so hopefully they'll be ok. Ha ha with the desk joke btw. A giggle exploded out of me at...

Hi Maintainer and missfitness25 Thanks for your responses! I did a bt of a Dukan shop alright. A bagload of roast chicken portions from M&S, 0% Fromage frais, Splenda, Oatbran and Sugarfree squash. I actually can't believe how full I am. Usually I'd be picking at my desk all day! I paid for 6...

Started Weightwatchers a couple of weeks ago and, although it's working, I don't like the points system too much. So I'm going to keep weighing in as usual but give the dukan a go! I bought the book yesterday and I like it a lot. No tracking cals or points is a big plus for me! So, today is...

Thanks for that Cammyttm! Great to hear that you're had such success and that a plateau can be broken. Well done! So the weekends nearly here-let's make it a good one!

Welcome Jaxie and Littlemissthin! Great job with the running UKGal! Very impressed :) @Charlotte-eve I have terrible knees (just for the last yr, not sure if it's anything to do with the extra 1.5 stone I put on?) so can't run either :( Hopefully we'll be fitter by the end of this journey...

Hi Charlotte Eve! WOW you've been doing well! Look at all those 7s! Fantastic! Are you excercising much? I haven't been but want to start yoga soon.

Welcome willtolose! Hope you're doing well today. So it's you're WI today Ukgal, good luck! I'm trying really hard to be very good today! What you guys gonna have for dinner tonight? :)

That's great Ukgal, sounds like we're in a similar weight zone. Best of luck tomorrow with the weigh in-fingers crossed! Where in Germany are you? I LOVE Berlin. Kind of jealous of your Wednesday WI Lass as I could do with two days to redeem myself after the weekend :0 Definitely lets keep...

Thanks for the update Lass! What's you WI day? Mine is Tuesday.

Losing your first lb is surprisingly motivating. You find you love the feeling of knowing you lost something and it drives you to stay on the wagon! One day at a time and we'll all get there. Good luck!

Hi LikeASweetShop, I'll call you LASS ;), and Ukgal! Lovely to meet you both! You're doing fantastically Lass. Very steady weightloss there and great to see you got you're first silver 7 after only 3 weeks-my fingers are crossed for WI on Tuesday! Hope you'll be successful this week too...

Me again! Anyone out there with roughly 20lb to lose...lets say between 10-30lbs?! Love to buddy up!

Hi everyone, lets drum up a little support here and get to goal together! We can talk about problems, tips, how we're feeling!? Looking forward to hearing from you all. :wave_cry:

Hi everyone! :wave_cry: I know I'm a little late but I'd love to join you all. I started WW on the 26th of July so I guess I started the August challenge on the 2nd August. I would like to lose 10lbs in the month. (My final weigh in will be Tuesday the 6th of September). Keep up the good work...

Hi everyone! I'm new here but will definitely check in on Tuesdays with you guys! Week 1: 145.5lb (26 July) Week 2: 142.5lb (2nd August) Week 3: 141lb (Today) My goal for next week is to be at 138.5lb (that's a loss of 2.5). I WANT A SILVER 7!!!! :) Good luck everyone

Hey I'd like to join in too! Started ww two weeks ago, 3lb off 1st week, 1.5lb of this week. x

Roasted veg all the way, so delicious, I make them as often as I can and try to keep a box in the fridge for nibbles. Make 'em spicy with paprika and chilli powder or herby with oregano. Butternut squash is a personal favourite and filling too.
