Bless you. x Sadly I fell off the wagon big style yesterday and had a (very small) carvery for dinner after feeling sick and lightheaded for one day too many (I'm pretty sure it was low blood sugar). I was reasonably good and stuck to meat and veg and gravy though but then blew it with a...

Oooh actually I drank about a pint of water after the carnival, I was sooooo thirsty! Maybe thats it, lol! I have upped my protein intake, ate about twice as much yesterday as I have been doing... Also swapped my ww yogurts for Total 0%... It seems the harder I try the less I lose, and now...

I was on duty at a carnival as a first aider and afterwards the carnival committee put on a big spread for us all. I ate: 1 cherry tomato and half a pickled onion and drank water!!!! All the lovely things I love to eat were there and I refused them all even though everybody else was...

I don't make mine but flavoured some 0% greek yoghurt with vanilla extract and splenda last night and it was gorgeous!

Update: I haven't changed a thing (except ate a bit of extra yoghurt last night) and scales say I have lost a lb this morning (a full lb not a few ounces) so I am pleased that I persevered. I have to admit to feeling very miserable though for a few days. Thank you for your help and support. x

maybe there is hope then :)

Tried this tonight with Total 0% greek yoghurt with vanilla extract and a little sweetener, oh my goodness its lush! No more ww yoghurts for me! thank you

Hi and thank you for your replies. My answers to your questions: TOTM? - not a problem, too old (bliss) enough protein? - possibly not to be honest, I will review this thank you. I have no appetite and finding it very difficult to eat lots. I looked at the menus as Maintainer suggested but...

After a truly amazing start I have lost only 1lb since I've been on Cruise (6 days now). I have stopped eating the pre packed meat and cut ww yoghurts down to 2 a day. I'm cooking but only with allowed ingredients and drinking loads of water, coffee etc. The scales tell me a difference of...

Fantastic!! Well done :)

Well done!!! That's so quick! Bet you feel like a new person!

Thanks Maintainer. I had turkey omelette last night so a step in the right direction probably. I'll check out the recipe section later (I just started work) thanks. :)

Soooooo, does that mean skinny cappuccino is ok? (I only have the small mugs)

Just looked at your pics Wheesht. You look fabulous!! Beautiful dress (and beautiful kitchen too - only slightly envious, lol!)

Newbie here, started attack last Tuesday and went on Cruise Sunday. Now been on Dukan for one week. Lost 9lbs and am very happy about it! :)

Just wanted to pop by and wish you good luck as you go back to work. Remember to be strict with yourself and you'll be fine. x

Thank you. We are having a new Tesco store being built in our town (amidst lots of controversy, lol) and it will be open before Christmas so I will be able to shop there for goodies. At the moment we only have co op and their choice is appalling at best, non existent at worst...

Well done!! That mustn't have been easy. Hope you're proud of yourself! :)

So... day 1 of cruise. I didn't lose any weight yesterday but that was sort of expected as the scales and one thing before my bath and another thing after - I don't think I was *that* dirty, lol! I'm off to the shops in a moment to buy some fresh veg, after just eating a yummy Dukan pancake...

that's good news :) I have a pack of chocolate buttons in my bag and I am amazed at my self control in not even wanting them. This is the first diet I have ever been on that has allowed me that. It kind of makes me realise its the last diet I will ever be on.

I'm about to go into cruise so thanks for that info. :) 8lb in 10 days is fab! Well done!

How about shopping online? I work with very young children (who seem to eat all the blooming time, lol!) from 6.30 am to 6pm so get very little time to shop or do normal things. Online shopping has saved my time.

Lots of fab ideas already, do your best to stick to it, lots of exercise and water and rejoice in the fact that you look fab with a 2.5 stone weight loss already and will look even better soon. :) Have a great holiday.

There is a motivation thread in the stickies, maybe that will give you some ideas? Mine is simple - I don't want to die (and my weight is affecting my asthma, my blood pressure and my ability to exercise)

I went back to work last Thursday and found that it made life easier if I cooked a little extra meat/fish for the evening meal and then had it as cold cuts for the next day lunch (if you're on cruise you could add salad maybe? Some people have talked about making the Galettes into wraps with...

Thank you Wendy and Chris, good to know I'm not alone. First day of cruise today so maybe my appetite will return a little. :)

That's a good idea. :) I don't like burgers so don't eat them, I suppose it may be different if it was all meat/onion a few herbs or whatever. Maybe one day I will try. What is rusk please? (I presume something disgusting)

Thank you, that does help. I was beginning to get a little concerned when reading how everybody else is craving this or that and I could go the whole day without eating anything, good to hear it will probably soon pass. (No doubt I will wish it was back once I"m starving all the time) Thank...

Glad you had a good time, can't see the pics yet s not enough posts but will try and remember to pop back when I am allowed.

Men! I don't think a lot of them know what tact is (there are always exceptions to the rule though). My ds bought a massive bar of cadbury chocolate yesterday and sat and chomped through the whole thing in front of me! Luckily I have this bizarre thing where I just want to eat anything so...

Whilst I realise this is probably a good thing it is very hard to cram meat in my mouth and swallow when I have no appetite at all. Today is my last day on attack today and I'm not even looking forward to veggies tomorrow. I am making myself eat as I know I have to but am getting no...

I just double checked the book and it says "frozen beef burgers are allowed but make sure the fat content does not exceed ten percent - 15 per cent is too rich for the attack phase" I presumed this meant mince at 10% too, but I will look out for 5% fat in future thank you. :) Ok thanks, I...

Don't forget you can have some sugar free jelly (hartleys), and weight watchers toffee yoghurts are good for satiating that sweet tooth too! ;)

I don't like the term obese but it is that which has spurred me on, simply being called fat to me means nothing. "Fat cow" was the standard nasty name thing at school and I was size 10 then so now size 22 its water off a ducks back. Obese on the other hand makes me worry... BUT if the doc...

Attack this week: day 1: B: 2 boiled eggs L: Chicken breast S: boiled egg and chicken breast D: Good sized Portion of 10% minced beef Drinks: coffee x 2 water x 1 litre Exercise: 20 minute walk with dog Day/Feeling: Kept self very busy cleaning etc. Not hungry during day - bizarre! Found...

Thank you so much for this!! My first attempt at a galette was a disaster, but this morning it was perfect! It looked like a pancake so I put some lemon juice and splenda on it and it is delicious!! Thank you again. :)

WOW, that's incredible, well done!

Thank you M Mouse. I shall have to consign the fridge raiders to the dog :( I was hoping as they were 100% chicken it would be ok. He's just had my grilled salmon as it was disgusting (I never cooked salmon before) I think he's going to love my diet!

Well done, you look fabulous! A real inspiration! x

Thank you for replying. :) I think I'm afraid that my weightless will stop or slow right down and I'll lose the motivation, I am brill at the start and not so good at the carry through.

Hi, I've tried searching for this but the posts that come up are 100s of pages long and I don't have the time to search throughout them in the hope that it means the meaty treat not the person who goes into her fridge at midnight.... So please forgive me for asking something which has no...

Well done :)

Just watched it and am really glad I didn't sign up for the coaching now. Just goes to show that old adage is true "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!" Thank goodness I have you guys!

Well done! That is brilliant. You show him and maybe the next time somebody mentions Dukan he'll remember you and say 'oh yes that's great' :)

This is exactly what I just read in the book. :) Well done on your continuing weight loss.

Good for you, you'll do it. :)

Thanks for this! I picked up some jelly crystals and some greek yoghurt this morning and am going to give this a go (hope its ok on attack?). I swear I'm going to eat better on this diet than I did before it!!

If it's just the going out that bothers you, could you still go out but stick to diet coke or bottled water? That way you'd be getting the social effect you are missing but not piling on the pounds through alcohol. I'm a newbie to all this so maybe that isn't feasible but you've done so well...

but oh so yummy! My first attempt at making the galette this morning, it was cooking too well on one side so I had to turn it after a couple of minutes (as per instructions in book) and it fell to pieces! I cannot believe how yummy it tastes though! Any suggestions of how to perfect...

They have Stevia in amazon uk if you want it. Maybe its a new thing? http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=stevia&x=0&y=0

Thanks for clearing that up :) I'm reading the book over and over but its so much to remember I keep getting muddled, ah well I'll get there some day :)

I have weight watchers fat free toffee and vanilla. I'm on day 2 of attack.

Hi Lou, thanks for replying :) I have had the last two days off work (which is why I started then). I can't help wonder how hard it will be once the munchkins are back tomorrow... I am going to try the galette tonight but will look up muffins and bread in a moment, thank you for the...

I'd never had quark before today, I'm surprised at how nice it is! it smells a bit like plain fromage frais. I bought it in waitrose so presume you can get it in other supermarkets in the uk too. Thanks Mirjam for the info :)

I noticed in the recipe section that a lot of posts saying you can sweeten quark with stevia. I've never heard of stevia, what is it and can you buy it in uk please? Thanks

Well done!!! :)

Bread is my major downfall normally so giving up that I think will be hard but I'm really fed up of being fat so it's going to have to go! Potatoes are my other temptation, I love a good plate of mash with my meat and veg :o It's rather bizarre just having the meat at the moment, lol...

I was going to suggest the chloroseptic too (sp?). I have some and it does work for a while (probably as long as anything else).

WOW! Well done Ellie, that's fab!

Yay!! Go you! How cool that must be, keep up the great work. x

I wondered about this too, in the book it says you can drink diet coke or coke zero, would that help? (I'm new to this so if I have misunderstood the book please somebody come and correct me). I wondered if we could drink ribena really light as that has less than 10 cals per glass if I...

HI Ali, I'm new to Dukan too, very new, lol. I think I may have actually found a diet which will work for me! You have done really well, well done. x

Congratulations! That must have felt great! :) How lovely that your dad noticed too, I'm sure men are usually blind to these things. x

2lbs already! I'm amazed. I woke up not feeling so bloated so couldn't wait to jump on the scales - that's very unusual for me!! Yesterday I ate loads too and wasn't hungry at all. I think I'm going to like this diet and am so glad I was told about this forum for support. :) How...

Good luck :) Know what you mean about the side effects!

Hi Ellie I'm new too, just started today. How are you doing on day 2?

Hi I'm new to Dukan (started this morning) and to minimins (started half an hour ago!) So far today hasn't been a problem except for drinking water! I've drunk around 3/4 of a litre so far but have also had a couple of coffees - do they count as water too (I'm guessing not, lol!). I'm...

HI, I'm new here. I started the Dukan diet this morning. I need to lose lots and have a habit of doing really well to begin with and then giving up. This time it will be different, this time I will be skinny again!
