hi charlies mum, i hope your ok, you've just had a really stressful day and a stroppy toddler doesn't help. stick cbbies on plonk her in front of the living room babysitter and sit down and have a cuppa. well done for resisting the old habit if comfort eating when you've had a pants day. i...

i'm so tired today, i'm struggling to keep my eyes open. today is a pp day menu sort of looks like this B- oat bran galette with 2 poached eggs S- roast turkey L- ?? S- ff yogurt with sweetener and vanilla D- ?? i'm totally not feeling it today :(

well done Ellie, you'll be walking on air for the rest of the day. :)

weigh this am showed i STS think if after a week of 1/1 cruise i've not lost anything i think i'll switch to 5/5 see if that starts shifting the lbs. we 're on holiday from 21st and i won't be sticking to diet 100%. so think i'll need 5 days pp to get back on track

Hello everyone, i'm really depressed. i'm on day 9 i weigh myself every morning. i lost 10lbs in 5 days of attack which is brilliant, but since starting cruise i seem to put 1lbs on then loose that 1lbs every other day. i'm not moving past the 10lbs loss. i'm gutted!! i'm rigidly sticking to...

Wow Pesty the cake is amazing!! I helped a friend make a b-day cake for her hubby who's in the forces it was a tank cake, we had a right giggle. I hope your brother likes his cake and you enjoy your meal out. PS stealing your quiche recipies ;)

well done for not falling for temptation. I also know how difficult it is to remember to drink. I have a 2ltr bottle that i normally make sure i finish but today i have really struggled with it.The gallette is lovely isn't it. I've had it sweet with mixed spice and savory to use like toast with...

weigh in this morning and the 1lb i put on has come off. pleased with that, don't want see any more gains. lol. pp day today which i actually really look forward to :)

well another success to me. lets hope the scales do me justice in the morning.

my battle with the crave continues i've decided its not me its my OH, he's been out and bought me a little 180ml bottle of red wine!!

so far i've stuck to the plan rigidly. and intend to keep doing so. with one concession that while on holiday i'll allow myself 2meals out off plan and perhaps a drink or 2. then i will allow myself christmas eve, day and boxing day to be naughty then straight back to it. according to Dr D its...

is there a dukan equivalent to red wine? lol

in an effort to brighten my spirits. my menu for today is like this b- gallette(without sweetner) 2 soft boiled eggs L- left over cottage pie(turnip top) D- beef stew today is food shopping day so i'm going to look for some ff and sugar free yoghurts. i'll also try and get some wheat bran so i...

Gutted!! weigh in this morning shows +1lb i really don't understand why as i've stuck to plan to the letter! i was expecting a gain after my 1st pv day but to gain after a pp. this isn't what i needed after i really struggled with cravings last night :( not a happy bunny.

thank you Charlies mum your totally right. if i cheat now i'll feel even worse in the morning. i'm finding it hard. its evenings i struggle with especially when the husband is sat eating or drinking the things i'd love to be having. think i'll go to bed to remove my self from temptation. i...

Hello everyone, just curious really do you all rigidly follow the plan or have you cheated now and then? how do you deal with your cravings? and what do you do to get back on track or stay on track? Can you tell i'm thinking about eating/ drinking things i shouldn't

menu today (day before weekly shop) b- muller and oat bran L- 3 egg omelette with ff cottage cheese and low fat ham S- chicken breast D- garlic and chilli prawns had a rubbish day at work and would chew my right arm off for a glass of red. if my OH comes in with a bottle if wine i think i'll...

Thanks pesty. i really don't know where i'm getting the willpower from i'm normally the one asking for takeaway etc. weigh in this morning showed i stayed the same which i'm pleased with as i've read you normally gain on your pv days. today is back to pp which i'm not to bothered about...

hi Nicolew, don't fret. i would try and stick to the diet as much as your cupboards allow. then do a few days pp to get back on track when you have the right stuff in. i went to Iceland and farm food and got freezer bags of things like white fish, chicken breasts etc.. which can all be cooked...

well done on the weight loss, every lb down is a step closer to your goal

thanks ellie, i know he burns up to 7000 cals each time he goes out so even after all that junk food he'll still be in a deficit. :(

thanks delilahdave, i don't plan on being too naught while away but its good to hear you can go back on attack to shed those gained lbs

thanks everyone i'm so pleased. it was a struggle last night watching my OH eating dominos and drinking wine

hi rednicola, i got a copy of the book from my local library wanted to try it for a few weeks before i invested. i've never been successful on ww. just could never get away with it. i have found dukan so easy so far and i've not felt the need to cheat so far. my first week at sw i cheated most...

Oh dear, i'm sorry yo hear your not enjoying the diet. hope Atkins works out better for you. i'm only on day 4 of attack and i love meat so haven't got bored or frustrated yet. i've been eating muller lights to quash any sweet craving (i found out there not totally allowed after i bought 12)...

hi Charlies mummy, i would like pp said stay off the scales till you've finished attack phase as your only demoralising yourself, i don't think your drink too much water as the dukan book suggests up to 3 ltr a day. i weigh myself at the same time and in roughly the same clothes. first...

hello in the book he suggest drinking up to 3ltrs a day. the more water you drink the better i assume. there are no cals, fat, sugar or carbs in it just watch your salt intake ad certain mineral waters are slightly higher in mineral salts than others. plus being fully hydrated helps your body...

well today has been another good day, had a minor chocolate craving but nothing that made me cheat. my meals today have been, B- oatbran porridge L-smoked mackerel fillet muller light S- sliced turkey D- chicken tikka i've had 2 coffees, one lady grey, and 4 pints of weak sugar free cordial...

well done for resisting the temptation of McD's. I went food shopping today and the freshly baked bread smell was a killer so instead of getting something naughty I munche on smoked mackerel fillet as i packed the car. Good luck for today when does you Cruise phase start? I start mine on monday.

Glad you've been to the dr's was a bit worried for you. 7lbs in attack phase is really good

Hi Pesty I'm going to steal your tikka recipe for my tea tonight. Love all the recipe suggestions. 7lb is an amazing weight loss

I resisted and tucked into smoked mackerel fillet while loading the car. I've been very good when feeding my daughter, as she's only 15mnths she has full fat everything but i've been strong I made sure i had a load of pre-cooked meals ready in the freezer for the OH so I wasn't having to cook...

thanks Pesty, i'm so pleased. found it hard doing the family shop all i could smell was freshly baked bread :$

thanks ellie, i so surprised how easy it has been

morning everyone, weigh in this morning said another 2lbs off so thats 5 in two days i'm totally amazed.

hi Charlies mummy, what ever i made was horrid but then i improvised as i didn't have all the ingredients for the. i'm using my oat bran as porridge today.

omg fainted!!! are you ok? do you think it linked to the diet. i would perhaps stop it, if it is and speak to you dr before continuing or restarting.

well oat bran flat bread not successful so mixed it with ff cottage cheese to go on top of my spicy mince

well nearly the end if day 2. been quite surprised how easy its been. Been out for a brisk 20min walk this am, then a not so brisk 20 mins this afternoon. feel quite energised which i didn't think i would do. my meals today have been B - 3 egg omelette with lean wafer thin ham, cup of tea...

Hello i'm sharon_p I've got 6st + to lose I joined a SW class at the beginning of september and was hit and miss if i stuck to it properly. i lost 6lbs in 8wks. So got really fed up. Then a lady i once worked with told me about the Dukan diet she's been following it since April and has lost...

Is garlic allowed during the attack phase?

poop! i've just unknowingly picked up an apple and taken a bite!! i did it without thinking how stupid.

its going well so far. not really hungry so not had a great deal to eat. only one chicken breast for lunch and a yoghurt. i like the fact that today is the first day in a long time that i've not thought of food every single moment. Normally i'm obsessing on what i should have, I think its...
