Nearing the end of phase 2 of the Dukan journey, lost 47lbs on Dukan since September, so not long to go now. On the same subject, my partner has been doing Dukan along with me and has only 6lbs to go having lost 42lbs. So far its certainly been an adventure, long(ish) may it continue....:D

Just got over 'man' flu, which we know is a very bad illness, always do a big chunky stew to keep warm.

To be able to walk past the chocolate Yule log without a blindfold.

Started Dukan on September 12th, and havent looked back. In that time i have lost 45lbs despite having a week on holiday where i gained 7lbs and two seperate weeks where i dint lose at all. I now have 10lbs left to lose to hit target. My partner has also been on this diet and supporting...

Last weigh in before Chritmas, 5ponds lost so 45lbs lost in total, 10lbs away from target (although i may revise it). Hope everyone has a great Christmas

7Lbs off last week, 40lbs loss in total in just over 3 months :D:D

I tend to weigh myself a couple of times a week, usually try to wear the same, but today for example i was wearing jeans, sweatshirt and trainers, not the lightest clothing but it was freeeezing.

I'll try, but i think the people in Boots might have something to say about it :D

Hi all, i was wondering if anyone makes an allowance for the clothes you are wearing when you weigh yourselves. I know it depends on what you are wearing, but if you do what do you allow?

Just 1lb off last week, 33lbs lost in total :D

Hard week last week, weight seemed to be up and down, but 2lbs lost, 32lbs in total. Another milestone as under 100kg now. :D

For stock we have used Kallo branded stock cubes, the lowest salt content we have found so far. They are about 98p a pack at Morrisons. Info on them: Kallo Organic Very Low Salt Vegetable Stock Cubes 66g by Kallo from GoodnessDirect

Get it copyrighted and get on Dragons Den ASAP :D

4LBS loss last week, 30lbs lost in total, under the 16stone mark for the first time in ages and over 2 stone lost :D

Agreed, but as long as its used with some common sense it helps

Not sure if its already been posted on here, and i know a lot of people prefer to use this site for recipes, but, my partner has recently bought the recipe book from The Works bookshop last week for £3.99.

No change last week, weight been bouncing up and down all week, still 26lbs lost in total, and at least no gain. :D

And of course dont forget, the more you exercise, the more muscle will develop and tone, and muscle weighs more than fat.

It shouldnt disrupt any weight loss, we always tend to change our week and have 2 PP's together to accomodate a Sunday lunch.

4LBS off this week, 26lbs in total :D

My partner and I recently went on a weeks all inclusive, on return i gained 7lbs whereas she gained 3. On return we both went onto attack for a week and both lost more than we gained during the holiday.

I had a week long 'blow out' when i was on holiday, and gained 7lbs. When i got back i just went on a week attack and lost 8lbs. Although this diet isnt designed to keep swapping around Attack / Cruise etc., because of the shock you give your body whilst on attack, its easy enough to get...

8LBS off last week, went on holiday week before last and gained 7lbs so its all gone and more. 22lbs loss in total. :D

Its a soup that used to be used in hospitals for patients that needed to lose weight for surgery, My mum used to be a nurse and i remember her bringing the recipe home years ago.

steam it, mash it and use it as a topping for Cottage pie with very lean mince. For a bit of crunch you can mash a carrot up with it.

As long as we have the motivation and inspiration that we give eachother on this site then i dont think we need to go on a pay site. I've got the book, but havent even looked on the official site or looked elsewhere for recipies apart from here. You are all my heroines..... and hero's :D

Are you a fish fan?, if so try replacing your cooked meats and crab sticks with fish, even tins of tuna or fish, as long as it is not in oil or sauce. Sometimes on this diet (as on any) its easy to eat smaller amounts of food. Pack as many protiens in each day, and try not to worry about...

have an extra spoon of oatbran perhaps :D

i will have to do it alone though, another remotely dance related and i look like an uncle dancing at a wedding.....:)

I lost 9lbs on Attack, and to date have lost 20lbs, despite gaining 7lbs on holiday. what i would recommend is that you clear your cupboards of temptation before you start. Good luck, you will find this site excellent for motivation and advice.

As well as the Carrot and celery add some Corriander and if you like it a touch spicy a finely chopped Chilli.

My partner is on this diet too, she ate the same or more than me and gained 3lbs, will be back on cruise next week so my quest to look like a Greek god is still on.

I keep staring at cteena48's Zumba game, i will have to start that soon..

cant wait for the cold nights to come so i can try some of these lovely sounding recipies and a nice thick stew, will miss the bread roll though. :D

This sounds really nice, could also be made with minced chicken :D

Its good to exercise and either tone or build muscle, the only thing to take into account is your weight. Even though exercise will burn fat, it will bulid muscle, and of course muscle weighs more than fat. If you dont lose as much as you wish to whilst exercising, dont become...

I set my target weight based on what i think i should be rather than what i need to be. When i get to my target weight i will assess whether to adjust it. 14stone, my current target, still gives me a high BMI,

I put on 7lbs last week, due to an all inclusive holiday, so started on the Attack again on Monday. Weighed myself this morning and lost 6lbs. I still blame the Spanish for putting temptation in my way. :D

Just come back from a weeks all inclusive holiday in Ibiza and was dreading getting on the scales this morning. And, true to form i gained 7lbs last week. The hotel, like most all inc, was fantastic, but the food wasn't Dukan friendly in any shape or form. On the up side i am still 14lbs...

Gained 7lbs last week due to a week all inclusive holiday, but still lost 14lb since i started. 1 week attack to come....

Been to Morrisons today, the ones i have are brand name Imperial and have no added sugar. :D

weekly weigh in Done weigh in a few days early this week as we're off to Ibiza in the morning, 3lbs lost this week, 21lbs in total in 5 weeks. :D

In our local morrisons they are in blue pouches and are hanging next to the fish counter

Cause i dont have to sign the 'fession and eat fairy cakes.... :D

Using spoon measurements is always inaccurate, but by using a desert spoon instead of a tablespoon means you are having your correct amount of oatbran cteena. teaspoon 5ml desert spoon 10ml tablespoon 15ml

Weekly weigh in Another 2lbs off this week, so 18lbs so far in 4weeks. :D

Cant believe you posted that 1 minute ago.....:sigh:

with the price of smoked salmon (and everything else) on the increase again, i tend to buy bags of smoked salmon trimmings from either Tesco or Morrisons. They are less than a £ a bag and contain enough for a good couple of meal servings.

only at weekends :)

and now she has left the house to walk the dog and left the tray of fairy cakes..........

parsnips they are ok as long as not eaten with every meal, same as the carrot scenario. although they are yack....

what have you just 'NOT' eaten Also i have just NOT eaten the fairy cakes my partner and her son have just made....... the swines.

salmon skin any fish skin is allowed

quitting Best of luck with quitting, i need to stop smoking too, but am early on in the diet. Not a very PC thing to say i know, but it is a hunger suppressant for me at the moment.

do you weigh yourself everyday Tend to do so twice a week, midweek and weekends, dont get too hung up on doing it everyday, as weight can alter by +/- a kilo a day, ok if its always on a minus i suppose.

What have you just eaten My partner and I are both on Cruise phase, we always make sure we have P/P on Friday & saturday so we can have a P/V Sunday lunch. Today it was Roast beef with Savoy cabbage and Butternut squash mash.

had this twice now and its really nice and filling, next time i'm going to replace the cauliflower with mashed butternut squash.

had this a couple of times now, its really nice and filling, next time I'm going to replace the Cauliflower with mashed butternut squash.

WK 2 of Cruise completed, lost another 2LBS, so 16LBS lost in total.

thanks, i'll give them a try....

Hi all, Just wondering if there are any disadvantages weight wise if I were to miss having my Oatbran for a day. Havent done so yet, but as I have never been a breakfast eater as such I tend to have it in the evening with some yoghurt, but as i'm only 2 weeks in i have to remind myself...

Just finished wk1 of Cruise 1/1 pp-pv, and lost another 5 lbs to go with the 9lbs I lost on the attack. Still a long way to go but feeling better by the day, and my choccy cravings have all but gone.

Hiya all, Bit confused, just read in the book under offal that kidneys are aloud, then further on it says the only offal you can have is liver and tongue. Also, if kidneys are aloud, from which animal please. Thanks.

Hi, don't give up, and don't skip attack, as it prepares the body for the months to come. I've just completed my first week of cruise after a 7 day attack, and so far have lost 14lbs, it wasn't easy, but like all diets you will become accustomed. I used to be a bigger for chocolate, but now if...

My main motivation was for size and health reasons, having just finished a 7 day attack phase i have already found my attitude to food has changed. My achilles heal was eating rubbish late at night, ie. a bar of fruit and nut, now i have my oat bran and milk before i go to bed. I still walk...

sorry posted in wrong catagory

Starting the first day of Cruise tomorrow, after a 7 day Attack, is it recommened to start with a Protein or PV day, or is it down to personal choice?

Evening x

We are off on an all inc. week in Ibiza soon which will be about week 4 of our Cruise phase, i know from past experiences that a lot of all inc. holiday food can be an oily mess... Any advice, as i still want to be able to squeeze into my mankini :D

Wii fit active is great for all round muscle toning, my partner and i used to use it a lot, and the new motivation we have with this Dukan Diet is helping us too

YUMMY this sounds really nice, first day on cruise for my partner and i tomorrow, so this will be on the menu for tomorrows dinner. Dave.

Sorry if this has already been posted (newbie here). Is it ok to use oxo cubes instead of boullion cubes, my local supermarket only stocks veg boullion granules. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm Dave from the West Midlands, my partner, Tina and myself started the dukan last Monday and decided on a 7 day attack period, so final day of attack, (oh to taste a vegetable again), as of yesterday I had lost 8lbs, and Tina had lost 10lbs, great achievements so far i think...
