Nice to see you on here Sara - what a great start you have made - keep going lovely lady! x

Oh gals I broke it!!! WHat a wally I am - the thought of two days away and I crumble - need to buck up - on a positive note I am back on the wagon after two days off instead of four months so I guess that is something - really enjoyed the one meal - as for the rest - soooo not worth it and I...

Your right Jo, I can't do without my sweetener atm though I am not over eating sweet stuff each day - mostly muffins and some custard if I have it made - I think shopping urge is just an impulse that I have to get used to quashing - I am so used to going into a shop and buying what I need and...

Sounds like a lovely weekend and great food wise… That trip back to the city must be hard when the weather is so glorious!!! I am torn today between going back to bed once Ben left for school or getting out and about in the nice weather - tbh though I am quite tired and got a busy weekend ahead...

WELL DONE JAMES!!! And good on you not having a mental breakdown!!! Gals night out sounds awesome and totally Dukan manageable - you go Silver - hope your sore shoulders start to feel better!!! Poor u - wondered what hot yoga was - now I know - hmmmm interesting - might give that a go!!! LOL...

Well a bit of a mixed weekend - Friday was fine the journalist lady was okay but I didn't take to her entirely and there were some awkward silences which is always tiring!!!! Lunch was fish pie (thought we were going to the pub!) and veg so had veg and some of the fish and tried to avoid the...

Oh loving the post about the clothes - SUCH an amazing feeling and I bet you are looking grand now - so close to TW - 2.2 lb is great!!! Gosh six stone is pretty impressive and in a relatively short space of time - well done you!!! Very much is awe of your ability to take a day off Dukan and get...

I'm with Pauline on that one - I whizz my v briefly in the food processor - awesome!!!! x

Silver go on give them scales away - you know you should even if you don't want to - I am laughing imagining you jumping on and off the scales all day long - gosh it take me all my courage to use them atall never mind several times a day and the very one time I did weigh again after a morning...

Have updated my stats at last - gotta face the music and all that - what a disgrace - feeling a bit sick looking at it tbh!!! Maybe that is a good think - what a wally I am to do this to myself!!! OH well tis done now!!! Someone slap me if I fall off the wagon other than for copious vodka at our...

Oh dear - a bit of an error on my part, I stepped on the scales this morning and the reading did nothing for my Dukan mojo!!!! Note to self - always weigh at the start and face the music…… I am heavier than I thought which is unusual for me as I usually have a fairly accurate idea of my weight...

Ah thanks Lorlypop - done it and got the t-shirt but that sometimes isn't the best is it? Find it easier to do a totally new plan each time I start a weight loss plan but really am aware that Dukan works for me - it isn't for everyone I understand that but it does work for me and I need to keep...

Bonkers, I have enjoyed reading about your journey....... People are giving you great advice. I am with you on wanting to move onto conso when you reach TW..... I was dying to reach conso and when I did unfortunately I went mad and it was all downhill from there BUT I truly believe the good Dr...

Oh brave decision Jo -caffeine not being tackled in my house yet!! lovely to see you back Silver, as busy as ever and on track which is great to see! you will have that weight off in no time!! For all of us it is finding an equilibrium at the end! Think your initial weight loss is great - as Jo...

Slim rice I got from Amazon in bulk Jo - expensive but worth it!!! Holland and Barrett used to do it on line and they often have buy one get one half price but didn't see it last time on their website!!! I went into our local shop and they had it so got a few there!!! Similar to quorn or...

Ahhhh feels odd to be posting again - as usual gone quiet after going off the rails for the millionth time and getting totally depressed about it….. Have piled on a huge amount of weight and am officially a fat person again!!! Finally after a few mental breakdowns to myself I realise that food...

Oh girls still trying to follow any kind of program - currently day three of attack again in the hope of doing Dukan but not holding my breath!!!! Just a hopeless case I feel!!!

Thinking of you Dukan buddy! I am trying to get back on the wagon myself and struggling to do anything though I am very good at putting the weight on so there is a success story!!!! LOL! xxx

Jammy I say but fantastic too!!!! Have a great weekend!

Nice to be back on plan....... Cooked up a load of food to take to the horse show - need my own cooler to get it all there - determined not to eat rubbish through the horse show!!! Weather brighter this morning thank goodness!!! LOL! have a great weekend everyone! x

HAHA, SW may be suiting me but managed all of one day 'on plan' before going wild!!! NO excuses for it - I was greedy and reached for everything I shouldn't have!!! Sooooo back home now and back on plan as of this morning..... After four days of eating and drinking I am v v bloated - nose back...

Didn't weigh this morning as felt 'fat'!!! You know those days? Also didn't want to put myself on a downer if the scales were up before going away as I know that I would just go crazy and eat the place dry!!! LOL!

Pretty much packed the whole house to take to Great Yarmouth - haven't managed to pack light at all!!! Dear oh dear! Excited.com - Ben certainly is!! LOL! x

Lovely evening with my friend last night - dinner was SW friendly, wine and dessert wasn't but only had one glass of wine and a modest amount of dessert - had saved two days syns for it so might of about evened out!!!! Did still have a moment of wanting to binge after dessert and if I had been...

Oh I certainly hope so gals!!! Yesterday was another good food day - was soooo lovely sitting eating dinner with Ben albeit slightly different stuff - today I have put chicken, bacon, mushroom, onion and stock into the slow cooker and am gonna add cous cous at the end!!! Served with green...

Phew glad it's finally gone - that was a mammoth hangover - you must have drunk everyone under the table!!! Have a great Dukan day! x

Oh I want your full button too!!! I was definitely a faulty model from the baby factory cos that button is nowhere to be found!!! Life gets in the way so often Joodle - we have all had AWOL times but we always come back - really honestly and truly do not know how I would have got through my...

Hope your day been a good one Mrs R - don't be so hard on yourself - we are all struggling atm - at least your not going AWOL and are still posting - don't give up you can do this - get your stubborn mule head on - we know it's there!!! xxxx

Lovin the Baileys idea!!! You go Suzy!!! x

What a great start, keep going gall!!! Attack is tough at times but your body soon adjusts - as yours seems to have!!!! I lost 9 stone doing Dukan and highly recommend it as a plan - after getting to target I struggled with Consolidation and went off the rails - I am now 2 and a half stone...

SOOOOO, still need to cook the chicken and the chilli but have the ingredients to do so!!! Been a busy day but good -had my hair done and it looks a heck of a lot better!!! Had rehearsal tonight and finally did the fall where I break my leg which had been on my mind for weeks as I was worried...

You can do it Mrs R - I just know you can!!! Jump on the Dukan bus this week and get peddling!!! xxx

Glad you had a good time china and the hangover has gone!!! Well done for getting back on the bus this morning - are you in the front seat or still loitering at the back!! LOL! x

Early days Sara!!! LOL - Cooked up a bit of a storm this morning - cottage pie with swede, carrot and potato topping with extra swede and carrot for the fridge, bolognese with tons of veg made and put in pots ready for the freezer, rice pudding cooking as we speak, off to the supermarket to get...

Weigh in tomorrow - will then see if I need to consider going onto red original days and leaving the carbs in the background - hard to say if I feel any thinner - definitely feel better following and sticking to a program so we will see!!! Food for the day:- B - cereal bar L - egg mayo/potato...

All sounding v good there Caro - I think once the birthday cake had been consumed that it would have been any bad food in sight would have been demolished!! Hope you have a lovely meal and enjoy your asparagas! I am making cottage pie today - flippin cold and miserable here and forecast worse...

Well done Joodle, looks like your a natural...... Have a great Sunday x

Thanks Scooter - just realised I have no longer lost 100 lbs - oh dear - have removed my century badge!!! Will be good to put it back on there when I achieve it again - got my profile right when I called myself a typical yo yo dieter!!! LOL! Cornbeef quiche - omg with Tomato Ketchup - yummy!!! x

The clapping doesn't work for me either!!!! LOL..... Siddid, lovely lady, are you doing okay? miss reading you and hope that you are doing okay............... Feel free to update on my diary!!!! might make more interesting reading than my usual drivel!!! xxxx

Oh food was good today - sorry guys but as long as I lose a tiny amount each week this just might be the way for me!!! Was very hungry for some reason but I think it will be a balance! Managed to get through the horse show unscathed has been almost unheard of these days!!! So will try and eat...

Oh sounds like a very grand plan Mrs R..... Hope you had a lovely day.... We are just back from the horse show and it only rained right at the very end so happy days I say - we got Reserve Champion which will pay for the fuel!!!! LOL! Hope your feeling Dukan strong - I struggled slightly at the...

Ah hope things settle into their new routine without too much trouble Pol....... Hope William is loving school - now get back on the wagon/bus lovely lady! No more clapping for you if you don't and how much would you miss that?! x

Great start Ang, hope the cold goes quickly and you feel better - amazing to keep going when you are ill too!!! WELL DONE! x

Oh lordy don't do the clapping thing either!!!! LOL! Day four today and last night I was up three times so I guess the water bloat is going!!! Really am loving the fruit and freedom to eat more variety - unlike Amy I have not avoided carbs but embraced the plan wholeheartedly... I will have to...

Not sure how the weight loss will be to be honest Chris but even if it is 1/2 lb week I will be happy - just sick of gaining and feeling rubbish and binging!!! Loving it three days in but quite a novelty being able to put together meals with pasta, rice, potato!!! Not had them properly for...

Xxx

Keeping everything crossed joodle xxxx

WOOOO HOOOO well done Amy - that is a great loss - I am with you on the SW plan - slow but sure works for me!!! Just want to feel better tbh!!! LOL! x

Well done for a good Dukan day yesterday - as you know I have been battling diet wise too so have changed over to Slimming World to see if that helps as it has to be better than binging - was nice to have the option of fruit when I was short on time the other day - still have to cook up a storm...

Easier said than done Dr - hope the weather isn't as poor as you expect for you holiday week..... Glad to hear you are still on track though - in the zone - long may it continue! x

Joodle - sooooo nice to have you back - but you have made me late for the school run - bad lady!!!!! LOL! x

HAHA Joodle what a lovely post and great to see you back...... You pretty much summed it all up in your post - hit the nail on the head so to speak!!! I am battling big time but still trying..... BIG news gals is though that I have gone to Slimming World .............. I needed to do something...

Day one gone okay - massive cravings hitting me from all sides but so far so good - made a batch of muffins this morning and another in the oven now - food okay for the day - taking remaining muffins to rehearsal with me to keep me on track!!!! Early start in the morning taking my friend to...

Dodgy days gals, managed until 8pm on Friday when one of our horses fell over on the concrete at the show - bless her she was totally shell shocked!!! I was gutted! Had been a long day and a friend turned up at the show ground with pizza and before I could think I ate a piece and another and...

Don't care which road you take P - any will do!!! I love SW and yearn after it really but think Dukan is really the way for me!! Keep going lovely! x

Hahaha that is hilarious - PB sandwich still in the bin unless the rats have raided it!!! Totally agree that planning is crucial and if I am honest with myself I have wasted time in the evening watching tv when I could have been cooking up a storm, next week I promise myself that I will indeed...

Day three has got a tick by it by the skin of my teeth!!! LOL! Came in a lunch time starving hungry and feeling stressed - got two slices of bread - piled on some peanut butter and shoved two more pieces of bread in the toaster - THEN I stood there looking at the sandwich and kept reminding...

I"m here girls - failed miserably from Saturday night onwards but back on the bus from Tuesday - horrible, hectic week ahead and gonna be tough to stick with it but I will give it a good go and if I don't manage to be 100% clean then I hope not to binge!!! LOVELY to see you all back -...

Oh was dreaming of SW a couple of days ago - loved the plan and it worked when I followed it to the letter!!! MAYBE, MAYBE!!!! x

Thanks Siddid - Day two not completely 'clean' but I am still okay with myself as I restrained myself somewhat - I did allow myself a glass of champagne which I bought for my friends engagement and it was awesome and I also allowed myself a cheese souffle starter which was divine and defo not...

Thanks guys - good to be talking again - THINK, just THINK I may weigh in on Monday and repost my weight - hard to do but should be done I guess!!!

Right back at you Chris - just gotta stick with it - driving myself crazy honestly!!! Today B - oatbran porridge L - turkey D - steak/ green bean/ mushroom and onion sauce / swede and carrot Full to the gunnels!

Oh gals I am a disaster - just can't get into the swing of anything and the weight is piling on!!! Been awol due to work but also cos I have been so hopeless at any diet plan!!! Today I have managed a Dukan day - yahoo - BUT got home to make some muffins only to discover I had no skimmed milk...

All good guys, been rocky for a bit again but day four back on plan and three if those have been away from home!!! Still to do a pp day but going with pv for now to hopefully stay on track!!!! So busy with work, shows, rehearsal etc, feet barely on the ground!!! Still reading Oa stuff!!!! Did...

Thanks Siddid food a little different to planned as missed out on lunch - so muffins for breakfast, steak and courgette with mushroom and bacon sauce for dinner with some custard and a muffin - custard curdled - yuck consistency but tasted the same!!! LOL! Doing accounts all day so no sun for...

Oh my muffins turned out delicious - amazeballs!!! Was a little bit naughty and used cocoa powder too so they are choc and orange but still all good!!! Audition was okay - think I could have done better but hey ho no HUGE errors over the words - only thing I thought was that I was off key in the...

Audition tonight for 42nd Street - just hope I do a good one - don't mind (honestly) if I don't get the part just want to perform well tonight!!! Keep going over the lines but yet to get it nailed - should be good fun tonight!!!! Day going okay food wise - probably be too nervous to eat before...

Jan he is adorable!!! Poor u 9.25 is a whopper! Love his name! Time has flown by!!!! Enjoy xxxx

Hi guys, another run of binging hence no posting, headed to Oa tonight and have had two days in the zone, started with pv days for now and working towards cruise again!!! Eaten loads today which goes against Oa principle but I figure eating loads of allowed foods for now will have to do!!!! B -...

HMMMM a couple of dodgy evenings tbh gals, back to it today!!!! LOL x

Bit of a binge feeling today but so far I have resisted - not sure why! Thank goodness for my oat bran porridge is all I can say - not sure what I am having for dinner but nothing jumping out at me tbh!!!! have loads of fish and some steak or chicken or prawns or eggs - hmmmmmm probably steak to...

So a fairly good day - ended up being a bit of a PV day with a small amount of sugar but not gonna worry about it - was in a seasoning mix so not that much but still not truly Dukan!!! Dance rehearsal went okay - a couple of steps that I can't do very well so will need to work on it if I want to...

You are rocking conso Karin - well done lovely lady and I am sure the next couple of days will be fine - DD will have a blast in London x

Day three dawn bright and I need to bottle how I feel in myself this morning - no bloated tummy, no bad feelings from being out of control!!!! WHY do I stray I wonder???? Was on FB last night and had a message from someone who used to work for me - right above her message was an old one from...

Someone once said to me JFDI after my griping about how unhappy I was with my weight etc etc etc!!!!! It took me ages to work out what it meant but she was right JUST F- word (sorry if a bit crude!) DO IT!!! I keep forgetting that phrase but defo need reminding of that now!!! Saw a pic of...

That sounds like a great plan Cheese - with you all the way - keep going gal! You are 100% right - it's a total mind game! xxx

I know, loved getting up about 4 times through the night to pee, literally could see my tummy shrinking!!! LOL still plenty of blubber to go but feel miles better already!!!! Busy day at work, didn't make the gym but feeling a bit bleurgh - not sure if a quick dose of dukan flu but a bit soon...

WOoohooooo climb on that bus China we are all on the last bus home!!! x

Good idea Siddid - don't know the answer to the muzzle but sounds a plan!!!! LOL! xxx

We can indeed Mrs R - have a great Dukan day today - I am peeing like a racehorse - sorry if that TMI!!!! LOL x

So another couple of weeks being out of control and making myself unhappy - have decided to go back onto Dukan - am now two stone away from my lowest weight and I feel rubbish - still believe that the OA is something to work on but I also need to get this weight off - soooooo back on PP days...

Good day Mrs R? I hope so and that you had time to relax xxxxx

KARIN, KARIN, KARIN, KARIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please - where are you! xxx

The two books I am reading Sara are Overeaters Anonymous and The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous - the first one is other OA members stories and I found them interesting and so relevant in places to me.... Have just started on the second one which explains the process...

Oh sounds like a lovely time - would have been rude not to make the most of it..... Hope you have a good Dukan day tomorrow Mrs R - sending you lots of positive vibes lovely lady! xxx

Okay Karin where are you - don't make m start to worry lovely lady......... Sure you are just resting after DD birthday celebrations but give us one line so we know you are okay and rocking!!! xxxxx

Well not a great day for me but putting it into perspective and keeping positive - had a mini binge this evening - silly moment that I let get out of control BUT i stopped before the calories got out of hand so proud of that - when I added up the calories I haven't exceeded 1500 for the day so...

Tried to upload this on my computer but no Internet!!!!! Back from the horse show and no binging so happy with that!!!! Great day with our horses taking champion and reserve!!!! They were such good horses today and we didn't get soaked!!!! No gym today but made it yesterday so five days in a...

Oh that is great news Jo - really something to look forward to..... Hope the saga with Nan gets sorted out soon..... Muchos hugs and soooo excited for you x

Oh Karin good gal - you are rocking conso! Happy 11th Birthday to DD - hope she has a lovely day when she gets home! x

Think that processed food is quite a culprit Siddid! Up and about today, just been to the nurse for my six monthly thyroid blood..... Helps if I remember to actually take the thyroxin though!!! DUH! Have remembered the last few days!!! Don't think I will make the gym today unless the day speeds...

Well half a pack is a success as far as I am concerned cos for me it would have led to alot more sinning!!! Hope you have a productive weekend and get everything done ready for your friends visit..... I have a feeling WI next Friday will be better than you expect....... Keep going and keep...

Absolutely right Sara! Another okay day - gym done and almost ready to leave for the horse show tomorrow! Meal out tonight was not perfect but definitely could have been a lot worse! Off to bed for an early night so I don't spoil my day and cos I didn't get to bed till past midnight last night...

Shall we share the t-shirt Mrs R??? Knowing that you want to 'do' Dukan will help you stick to the straight and narrow and remember to consider conso for the holidays if you start to struggle - having that bit of 'stretch' in the plan can keep you on an even keel I find....... ATM I am trying to...

Thank goodness for your husband talking complete sense...... Don't forget that over the week whilst on cruise your weight was fluctuating by a couple of pounds at a time and at the end of the day it all came out in the wash????! Your weight fluctuations in conso will still happen so your dear...

Soooooo today has been an okay day again - clean from OA point of view and gym done so feeling satisfied...... Still trawling through the books and finding it tough to read though I can relate to most of what is written.... Basically I have realised that overeating is something I have no control...

Ohhh big news CD, hope paleo works for you.... Sure it will! Don't disappear from here though!!!! Meant to ask did u buy normal soya milk on dukan? I got some today that is just soya and water with similar fat content to semi skimmed milk! Do u think it is dukan friendly? X

Today has been okay, gym done and food good! A 'clean' day by OA standards.... Reading my books which are v intense and went to the meeting last night which has renewed my feelings that I need this program..... Scared of the journey ahead but hopeful!! Defo know I don't want to continue to be...

Karin, when I saw your pic on FB I was soooo happy, you look like a completely different woman - years younger and sooo happy in yourself..... WELL DONE on sticking with it lovely lady, sure you will pick your way through conso with ease...... HUGE CONGRATULATIONS xxxxxx

Hi guys, back from the horse show and eating has been 'normal' - no snacks or binging but not diet food sooooooo?! Comment for the last few days is - could have been worse!!! Going to get up early and make the gym before picking Ben up from the childminders......Sound like a plan? One of the OA...

Good Amy thanks, couple of controlled days under my belt which has felt better and the OA meeting helped...... Saw the surgeon who did my tummy last night and he was very kind - said I had put on weight but the tummy looked flat and good so no damage done there thank goodness so if I can get...

Read some of the literature Sara and ordered two books which should be here on Friday..... Busy day today and didn't make the gym which was a shame as won't make it tomorrow or the next day so may just pack my trainers and head out for a run whilst we are away! Still kinda calorie counting and...

Good luck Amy I am for whatever works love! x

Just seen that you have updated your stats Mrs R - well done you that is awesome - brave gal.... I really should do the same but then I would have to face the scales again!!! LOL! x

OA helpful tonight and glad I went - today I have been in control of calories and made the gym so I feel a bit better in myself..... One day at a time - maybe not Dukan but better than binging..... Planning the food for Wed/Thurs when we are away at the show - will do what I have done before...

How goes it Amy? Let us know your new plan? Everyone doing different stuff!!!!!Love talking about new diets!!! LOL! sad lady! I know! x

Lovely to hear the positive Polly in your post Chris - keep going lovely lady and enjoy the shops! x

No gym yesterday but a lovely day with the horses and great friends, food not disastrous in comparison to other days but still far away from Dukan but no big binging! Gym this morning and now gonna sit and read up about OA before tonights meeting - picking up Ben from school at 3.30 and he has...

Tomorrow Sara, still not read any literature but don't have anything specific planned for tomorrow so will try and read up then and get my head around it all...... Gym today ifI can and then tomorrow too...... Gotta keep something on track! Out for lunch with the gang today and then BBQ tonight...

Still posting and today is another day - gym was good but food was still bad!!! Really gonna try today!!!! LOL! xxx

I'm okay gals, still not eating right but thinking about it alot!!! LOL - have a humdinger hangover today which is not helping my good intentions - gonna drag myself to the gym later now they have shown me where the key is!!! No Ben tonight so a night in watching BGT and an early night as v...

Oh gals a blimmin disaster - start each day with v good intentions and then something comes along which I then use as an excuse to blow it!!! Gym still ticking over and everything else okay - just this blimmin diet - see the tummy surgeon on Tuesday - he is going to be very disappointed in me...

Keep going CD don't give into the carb demons - if anyone can do this you can.... Isn't the weather just awful? Flippin freezing too! I am sooo cold - thankfully the office is nice and warm but the school is not!!! LOL! Hard to have suggestions for cabin fever but typical that the weather is...

Hmmmm not a good end to the day - managed the cinema with my diet coke and then all went to pot - we headed to chinese buffet and then it was over - finished off the day with a tub of ice cream which I melted in the microwave - ate the biscuit bits out of it and poured the rest down the sink...

Oh Maintainer we are cut from the very same cloth me thinks!!! Yesterday was 'okay', very early start (5am) and I did make my porridge to take with me and very glad that I did - ate it when I arrived and it kept me going till lunch which was eggs and ham with salad. On the judges table there...

Yay Amy your back - thank goodness was getting worried about you! PV days sound like a plan and although Maintainer was quite firm she is correct - we need to keep our menus varied so we don't get bored and PV days give us so much more variety! Come on lovely lady lets do this together and stay...

Oh I sure hope so Sara! Good day today - made the gym this morning and the lovely lady who runs it is gonna meet me there on Bank Holiday Monday when they are closed and do a workout with me so I don't miss two days which for me would be rubbish!!! Very grateful to her indeed! Work was a bit...

Welcome home Mrs R - you are just like me I absolutely love London but I am always glad to get back home to my quiet little country retreat where it's beautiful and tranquil and special to me! I totally understand why some people love the bustle and excitement and anonymity of a big city too...

So dallying about reading everyones diaries but avoiding my own as I needed to admit that I binged yesterday!!! Was having a great day but got hungry and was at Hay Festival so had some veg curry with a pitta (blimmin white flour) and an ice cream - spent the rest of the afternoon thinking - no...

HAHA we don't need therapists!!!! Jo glad your looking at your triggers and thinking about it as honestly I think and hope this will be a true way forward for us to put this diet roller coaster onto calm waters for life!!!! So many wee sayings I have read on here have hit the spot and I often...

LOL - JO now that is the million dollar question - FOR NOW I have kept binge foods confined to white flour products such as pizza, cake etc and 'bad' carbs such as crisps etc!!!! I have come to the conclusion that I would not 'binge' on mash or pasta or rice though they might lead me to eat the...

Karin those last few pounds are a pain in the butt!!! Keep going lovely lady - you can do this with bells on - look at how far you have come - you initially wanted to lose your daughter in weight and once you flew past that there was no stopping you so bask in your achievement so far - it's...

Sooooo a good day today again - horses worked well, made it to the gym and am definitely getting stronger and fitter in my workout there which is encouraging! After work I had a rush around to get Ben his tea and ready to go to our retired caretakers wee party that was being thrown by the...

Jo you echo my thoughts and conclusions on it so far the very sad fact that I have to avoid those 'trigger' foods for life - it seems such a battle to embark on atm, but possibly the only way I will not spend my life yo-yoing!!! Rules and regulations are tiring too but again need to give this a...

Keep going Karin - love reading your diary - always so inspirational!!! xxxxxxx

Wave to Sara while your there Chris - hope all is going smoothly..... Missing you already! xxxx

It is hilarious what floats our boat on Dukan!!!!!!!! LOL! Get cooking that yoghurt lovely whatever works I say!!! xxxx

Oh Jo I understand those words!!!!! GRRRR WHY do we do it!!! x

Amy if you are struggling just do PV days until you feel you can slip in the odd PP - failing that then do the odd conso day - anything to stay away from a proper breakdown of dieting - don't undo the wonderful work you have done - don't follow my lead - you know it will make you soooo unhappy xxxxx

They don't recommend any diet -it's more about controlling the over eating and trigger foods on the basis that then you won't be fat I guess!!!!! I didn't specify that I was on Dukan sooooo not sure if they approve or not.... Didn't say anything about weighing either...........The other people...

Oh girls thanks for all your support!!!! Yesterday and today gone well to be fair..... Sticking to the rules so far as I know them to be..... Haven't had a moment to get on the website and get some of the books etc..... Not even to study the 12 basic points.... I only know that I have to stick...

Meetings are every week so hopefully will go again - although I slept well last night I was dreaming about OA and what I need to do all night and it was kind of overwhelming!! BUT this morning I have woken up with a resolve to do my best and embark on this particular journey as I know it can...

HAVE A GREAT TIME Mrs R - your absolutely right, your sister would be so proud of you and your children - AND of your Dukan journey! Will even look out at the flower show for you just in case!!! xxxxxxx

I am here gals - sorry lovely ladies been hiding a bit recently........ Today has been the first good day for a bit - gym is still good but food has been pretty appalling - went to Overeaters Anonymous tonight and boy that was a bit of a revelation - it confirmed that I am an overeater and I do...

Oh MRS CD WE HAVE MISSED YOU!!!! Look on here and see how much - wasn't long ago that your name was on our posts........ I read your post with such delight and then such sadness I think I am in a bit of shock...... On here we feel like we have a cyber family and you were and are a part of that...

Thanks ladies - good day today, great workout at the gym - spoke to my friend there who has suggested I look at overeaters anonymous - willing to try anything to get myself out of this binging cycle and not put anymore weight on!!! When I do the plan I do it well so just need to continue...

Well hard at it definitely!!! Had enough of food ruling my life!!! Know that I am letting it so no more!!! Weighed this morning and enough is enough!!!! Though not as bad as I feared still not good!!! Missed gym yesterday but going today!!! At a show right now but planned ahead and have packed...

Well day off to a great start with a fab session at the gym, then to town and breakfast which was Dukan friendly!!!

Forgive yourself and move on!!! Looking like a good food day today!! Well Done! x

Sweetheart I hear you!!! Glad you are feeling better though that will help you to get on top of Dukan - why not try what I am doing atm, allowing yourself to be on conso when you struggle - just the knowledge of those extras being available is helping me a huge amount and tbh is far better than...

Thanks guys - great advice from all!!! Good start to the plan today with an impromptu PP day - wasn't intentional, just ran out of time and didn't 'need' the extras of conso but knowing they are there and that I am allowed them is helping..... Joined the gym today and did a good initial work out...

NOt on the bus guys and disgusted with myself!! Every day I am telling myself to start again and failing miserably!!! Today I have got up, mucked out, made myself walk everywhere (including some long reining) and have an appointment at Curves for 4pm to get going to the gym!!! Off to Sainsburys...

Well just back from Birmingham - well Hollywood to be precise and it took 5 and a half hours so not bad...... First run out in the lorry for a while but was fine! STARVING today but took eggs, ham, muffins and diet drink with me so was prepared..... Off to cook some pasta for the children, make...

Dinner dance is tonight Siddid - realise I do sound like a negative Nora in the post BUT it's only because I get cross with myself going off the wagon lots of times and then having to do this to get back to where I wanna be!!!! Sure the dress will look lovely, but defo a wee bit of a fatty!!! LOL!

So final weigh in today before a month of no scales :eek: - down another pound from yesterday so I think the two days of attack did their bit - not sure on the plan for today but probably will have my muffins as have five hours driving and will ultimately be having a gala tonight - but will see...
