I would also like to know this, it am starting SW tomorrow and did a quick LIDL shop for some essentials including this!

Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Film & TV It's a fitness DVD by Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser. She's vicious but that's what I love about her, I love this DVD!

I had their lunchbox with fries and two boneless chicken fillets. It had a whopping 805 cals but I still managed to fit it into mine!

I got back into some size 14 work trousers that I hadn't worn for two years, they keep falling down too :D Sadly I can't get into a 12 yet :(

Thanks KatiePillow! (another Katie over here :))

What are the recipes for these please?? :D I've just read through this entire thread with Tesco open on another tab and filled up my basket. :D

A packet of chocolate hobnobs or a McChicken sandwich meal with a banana milkshake from McDs! :D I did actually manage to fit a McDs into my calories once and still lost 2lbs that week! Wish it was always like that... haha

Hi guys I hope you can help! I swim and walk alot so my thighs and calves are more defined, and my job and the swimming helps tone my arms but my midsection is still all flabby and crap :( I have back fat that sits on top of my waist and the horrible bits at the side of my boobs too. What can I...

You can DEFINITELY see a difference in the side-on pictures! Well done xx

I go for the Chicken finger BLT with salad instead of fries, think its about 600 cals.

Frozen food is your friend. I get ASDA Smart Price chicken breasts for £3.99, you get about 7/8 pretty large breasts (I know they're filled with water but they're still a reasonable size) and one can make a big meal that will last me two days. I find these better than a whole chicken as I only...

This! :( I get one every Weds and it's gone by the afternoon! :mad: they are too good.

I know everyone is different but I'd like to know if it's possible for my holiday. I started out at the start of January a size 16, B38, W36 and H42. I've lost a stone at current and am now in a 14 at B36, W34 and H40. I'm going on holiday on 25th May and have some size 12 Topshop shorts...

Love 30 day shred! I've got Kettleworx too but tried the first one and nearly died, not carried on since...

I like this app, but it says I need 1600 cals to lose 2lb a week whereas MFP says I need 1220, and tbh I'm struggling to keep to the latter :(

I've downloaded it and while it is good, the icon is telling me I have 38 notifications from it, how do I read/get rid of them??

I count everything, even cans of diet coke which is only 1 cal!

I have no recipes but I doubt they're going to be low calorie anyway. Switching to splenda instead of sugar, brown flour (not sure what the proper name is, wholewheat?) etc and it will be lower but I still think they'd be quite high :(

I'm just about to start this. I have a question though re: inch loss. When people say they've lost 3 inches in a week, do they mean like half inch from chest, half from waist, an inch from hips and an inch from thighs or something added up together?

Yeah those are the ones, I'm going to watch the introduction one anyway cos I only know the swing move. Thanks, will try the fat burning one!

So the essentials are cardio, core and resistance in any order I want, but what about the other 3 DVDs? Do I leave them til later?

Sorry if there's already a thread on this but I can't seem to find one and the secret to shaping up has toooo many pages to read through. My Kettleworx set (the 6 week transformation one) came through this morning and I've no idea where to start, literally all that came was a small box with...

Not officially weigh in day til Monday but standing at 189lbs, 3lbs down from last time. I checked the scales (I know I shouldn't but can't get out of the habit!) this morning and still no loss, I better see a loss before Monday! My Kettleworx DVDs came today so gonna start that, hopefully can...

I went to Wetherspoons and normally stick to diet coke and a meal within my calories, but I had a few Crabbies (haven't checked how many calories but I'm guessing alot :() and a chocolate fudge cake (700+ cals, I only had ~500 left). I have so much uni work to do tomorrow that I won't have time...

What about flavoured waters, can you drink them? I personally love ginger beer, and I get Co-Ops own brand 'Low Calorie Ginger Ale' which only has 8 cals in a litre bottle! It didn't have much of a taste at first but boy did it have an afterkick, something I love about ginger beer! :D I'm the...

That bit is sooo useful! I have been asked at work why I'm taking pictures of packets though :D

The majority of people here seem to use MyFitnessPal, I'd reccommend it! They have an iPhone app which I'm sure you can get on iPod too, maybe BB and Android but not sure about those two. You can always use the website version if you can't get the app.

Hi, newbie to kettlebells here... Inspired to start after reading this thread! I bought an 8kg one, nearly dropped it when the postwoman handed it over to me but I've been trying the kettlebell swing and done ok with it. I've been looking at Kettleworx, is it really worth the £50 for the DVDs...

I know I know, naughty Bijoux having a TGI fridays! The thing is, I can't find what I had anywhere to see how many calories are in it. It's not on MFP. I had the chicken finger BLT (Not chicken fingers, that's a different meal) with fries but can't find the calorie content anywhere to add to...

Is it too late to join in? I only starting CCing on Monday, start weight is 196lbs but already down to 194lbs, official WI next Monday!

My limit is 1500 a day (~2200 to maintain) and I'm burning 2-300 calories off through exercise. Am I supposed to eat these calories back? I stick to my 1500 calories but this includes the ones I have burnt off, so essentially I'm only eating 12/1300 calories... It seems kinda pointless burning...

Thanks for the replies people, I have started logging my food etc on MFP, my account name is x_missvintage if anyone wants to friend me on it. I've done a fair bit of walking today around town and ASDA (4 and a half hours in total) and it says I've burnt 1000 calories! I didnt think walking...

Hi guys, I've been on this forum a while but was doing the Dukan Diet. I lost a stone doing that but have since put back on after coming off it, it was sooo boring and repetitive and I just wanted normal foods! She says whilst feeding herself on supernoodles as we type... I looked around the...

Am I being blind or have you edited out the pics? :/ I wish more people would post before, during and after photos! :)

Do they taste different to chicken? It sounds expensive... I'm guessing it is!

I just heat up (on a low heat otherwise it splits) some yoghurt with parsley in it! Was thinking about trying to marinade the fish in it instead but not sure how that will work?

Im going to try making some of these, I have turkey mince and don't know what to make with it! What do you use as a sauce, just a tomato based one like a normal bolognese or something?

Is it 1cal per 100ml? I thought it was per 250ml which is a glass, that's what I've been looking at! I love sainsburys fiery ginger beer but sounds like I can't have that anymore :(

I use low salt Amoy soy sauce and it doesn't seem to be having any effect on me, I pour loads in too, didn't realise we were only allowed a tbsp!

I've cheated and only gained at most 6lbs (no idea why so much!) and normally a PP day sorts it out. She says as she types with one hand on the keyboard and one hand in a bag of Hershey's kisses... Waiting for a big Tesco shop to be delivered, then it's Dukan Dukan Dukan! I wish I had more...

It does for me, it's a diuretic (sp) so helps with water retention :)

I have a chicken kebab too and dont eat the bread (I never used to before I started the diet :/), I 'naughtily' ate one once thinking it was gonna be a gain the next day and I was 4lbs down! Sadly dont think that was the kebab.

I'd imagine they are, I buy them. I think it's the skin that's covered in oil and we're not allowed to eat that anyway so I'd say yes, they're fine. Can always buy some raw ones and pop them in the oven the night before work! They're good to pick at. Mouth is drooling at the thought of it. *drool*

That's what I thought, but there seems to be conflicting evidence. I have a big tray of 30 eggs to use up...:rolleyes:

So what IS miraculous about it?? What does it do exactly? I'm going to go buy the ingredients. Can we use low SALT oxo cubes or do they have to be low fat?

Hi, me again... I've read in people's menus that they eat alot of eggs, as do I cos I love my omlettes! Question is, i was flicking through the book again last night and noticed he says no more than 2-3 eggs (yolks) PER WEEK! I can have this in a day :/ I didn't realise quantity of eggs were...

I'm interested to know, is there any other soups other than chicken soup to have on PP days as every recipe I've read is with veg!

Only just seen this, that last one sounds GORGEOUS! I ended up just smothering it in pepper and cooked it that way, bit boring but it was still nice.

I've never really been a fan of red meat or fish but I've just stocked up the fridge with both cos I'm determined to be more varied on DD! I have a lean steak for dinner, what can I have with it on a PP day?:confused: or should I save it and have swede chips with it tomorrow?

I've been looking all over for these, I've been in a world food store and two Asian supermarkets and neither had them.

Can we have pesto? God I miss that stuff, didn't think it was allowed! I just put pepper on mine.

I have the implant too, and hadn't had one period until I started doing Dukan and I had one for a week, stopped for a week then had another one a week after! I did wonder if the foods we eat in Dukan could bring on my period. I haven't had one since though.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm back on it again and determined to stick to it, you people are good for motivation when people like me say they want to give up! :D I love MiniMiners :)

I work different shifts every week so it's hard to get a pattern, I've tried it before and I never show a loss after PV days so it's no good to me. I've put in my new details on the calculator and I'm just gonna start again from attack. Weirdly my goal is only the day after what it would've been...

Yeah I can but I work so much I constantly have PV days or non-Dukan days and the weight is piling back on. I've just ordered some compartment lunchboxes so hopefully I can start taking different things to work with me and actually stick to PP days. I have next week off so gonna do a mini attack...

Thanks for the replies. I am feeling a bit down about it and I'm pissed off with myself for not being organised. For some reason my weight has shot down another 2lbs this morning despite eating what I wanted yesterday. I will go grill some chicken and have it as a snack at work later on, it's PV...

Is anyone else finding it hard to do Dukan properly when you are time constrained? I'm at uni full time (in my final year) and working full time and I just don't seem to have enough time to follow the plan properly. I get fed at work (my food bill would double if I took food to work) but only...

I ate it on my Attack phase every day, I NEED the tommy sauce to eat them as they're disgusting! I lost 7lb in 5 days so it obviously didn't affect me.

That was me that gained 6lbs overnight, it's gone back down again after drinking looooooads of water and eating asparagus, it must've been water retention. Still can't work out what caused it though. I understand it will fall off again but it's v. v. v. frustrating when you see it despite doing...

It could've been this, I'm on the go so much at work I grab a quick sip when I can, which isn't often! I weighed this morning and was back down to 13st 9 so something must've caused the gain, but it's still 2lb up from what it was :( Thanks for the replies.

Where do you get that from?! I always end up taking it in a tuppaware but it doesn't taste as good when it's been in the fridge :o

The scales are analogue ones with the dial, I've been using them all the time. I know frubes (they're kids yoghurt in a tube lol) aren't allowed but I had to buy something on the way to uni and that's all I could get that wasn't a sandwich or greasy bacon roll etc! I hope it comes off tomorrow...

:eek::eek::eek: I don't even know how this happened! On Weds I weighed 13st 7 and had hit the one stone lost mark, I weighed myself again this morning and I was 13st 13! I'm not on my period so I don't know where it came from. I had 2 Frube yoghurt tubes for breakfast cos I was in a rush, 2...

Despite being naughty, and falling off the wagon, I've lost a full stone :D I've only been on DD about 5/6 weeks, didn't expect to lose so much so soon! Just under three stone to go, about 4 months to do it in. :D Gotta get Christmas out of the way first though, 25th is a PP day :eek: (Obviously...

I had two PP days and have lost 4lbs now so all is good :D

Ok, naughty bijoux... :o the past 3 days I've not stuck to the diet at all, it was so much easier to just grab a panini at work instead of cook a meal when I got in, and I carried this on as I went back to uni today and ended up having a sandwich and a bag of crisps in the canteen. I've only...

Had my asparagus last night and had a 2lb GAIN this morning! :@ had lost 2lb when I weighed in the other day after eating asparagus. Been naughty today :( Got up at 4 for work and had my oat bran porridge, didn't get my break til 10 but was starving around 8ish so had a raspberry slice again...

Thought I'd join in and see if I can maintain this diary as I failed after day 2 writing it down in my little book! Currently weighing in at 192lbs from a starting weight of 203lbs. It's nice to be in the 100s and the other day I dropped into the 13s in stones :D I've just started week 4 of...

I'm getting bored of it and it's not helping with 'transit issues' like it's supposed to. If we don't have it thought what else can we eat for breakfast??? I have oat bran porrdige with cinnamon every morning!

Ah bum, was hoping I can have them but shall just have to give them to my housemate! I make my own soup and just use normal Bisto gravy granules in water! Hasn't stopped my losing weight but I know we're not actually allowed them.

I completed it a long time ago with good results but tried to do it the other day and gave up. I just don't have enough energy on DD and think it might be a bit too intense, as the book says to avoid strenuous activity. Wish I had the energy to join you!

I've just found a few cans of these at the back of the cupboard in the kitchen. I have country vegetable, hearty vegetable, carrot and lentil and chicken noodle. I know I can't have chicken noodle cos of the noodles and sweetcorn. Can't have lentils and carrots are only in moderation, I believe...

I haven't even lost a stone yet but I loved seeing 13 and not 14 on the scales! :D 3 more lbs for a stone I think...

I bought some earlier. I've never had it before and thought I'd try it as it's PV day and might see a loss in the morning (dream on :p or does it actually work overnight?) . OMG it's lush! Just boiled it for a few mins. Edit: ate some about 40 minutes ago and just had a wee then checked the...

Can we have asparagus on Cruise PP days? There seems to be conflicting evidence against it... I know it's a diuretic but it's also a veg. :/

I use onthebox.com :)

Here's hoping! I managed to get back into some size 14s (been wearing 16-18s) yesterday! Tres happy bijouxdolly! Now where's my 30DS DVD...

I find it in ASDA easily everytime. There is always loads left. I use it to mix with curry powder to make the curry sauce for a chicken curry instead of yoghurt. For some reason when I use yoghurt it disappears and goes all weird in the pan. :/ I mixed it with garlic and put it inside a...

Me too, and I seem to be grabbing less and less! My belly was so fat and round I convinced myself I was pregnant even though I knew I wasn't. :o it's just a bit flabby now! God bless Dukan!

Try not to weigh yourself every day. I was doing this and seeing a drop every day in Attack then went onto Cruise and was gaining. I now only weigh myself once a week and it is going down! :)

It costs me about ~£35 a week for me and my boyfriend's foods. He's willing to eat Dukan food but I give him rice if I have a curry for example. My yoghurt, cottage cheese, frozen chicken breasts etc is all ASDA Smart Price so it keeps the price down. The only big cost is a decent steak, and...

I'm not really seeing much loss on the scales and was getting annoyed with it and nearly gave up but a woman at work said I was disappearing. I thought she was just trying to be nice but the other day I fell off my bike and ripped all my work trousers (**megacringe**) and was panicking as the...

I just use Schwartz 'Season All' on chicken and beef, they do a low salt version. I make a pocket from tin foil and stick it in the oven for about half an hour. I was looking at the Maggi bags earlier in ASDA but didn't have time to check the salt/fat content etc so put it back. I didn't think...

Didn't really tone me up per se, as I have alot of fat to get rid of :o I could feel the muscle under all my stomach flab getting harder but obviously you can't see it. I did lose 2-4 inches around my bust, waist and hips though :D put them all back on again since then ('then' being ~April time)...

That's how you're supposed to do it, ten days per level. I stayed on level 3 after I finished the 30 days (no gap, was really surprised with myself, I would've normally given up by day 5 or something)! I've since quit and wanted to start again now I'm on Dukan, I started Level 1 the other day...

It really does work, I lost 9lbs and 2-4inches on bust, waist and hips after the 30 days :D and that was just following Anita! Can't keep up with Natalie(?) and Jillian! :o Still haven't started it up again, I have no energy. I dunno if it's the DD or the fact that I start work at 5am or...

Hi guys :) This is my first post in this forum! :) Have been on Dukan for about 2 weeks now, in Cruise atm but not getting much loss, 8lbs :( Before I started this diet I was trying the healthy eating and exercise (2 Jillian Michaels DVDs in title) thing but gave up as I moved house and...

Hi guys! :) I'm currently doing the Dukan diet and have been following this forum and Dukaners but decided to stick to this as the Dukaners aren't very welcoming! :cool: I've never dieted before but will be hanging out in the Dukan forum, hello to any fellow Dukanites :)
