Dukan is doable without the books, I found the girls on here way more informative than the book I have. The book is very misleading in my opinion! Ask people who know, I bet Dr Dukan has never even followed the diet! We all have/are! Best place for Dukan knowledge, you're in the right place!

I lost more than predicted in Attack every time

Who?

Love the bright peplum top!! Do share if u get bored lol

Mebbe theyve all turned vegge!!

And theyve got loadsa sugar in them

Cocktails are all sugar but a sprirt like vodka, rum etc with diet coke is ok

I think his head is stuck to the door :(

Haha fat club

Typical, I like cake

Not worth the circulation loss hun!! If u like them get them a size bigger, sod what the label says! Comfort first thats what i say, i still wear old size 14 stuff when i want to!

I reckon there should be a cake diet Now theres one id stick to :D

No spinning hurts lol At the mo its just Zumba for 45mins 3-4 times a week, have been going to the gym more and found out I can run! Few walks to the shops and back during lunch time is my routine lol

Definitely, my zumba instructors are mental, i come out after 45 minutes looking drowned!

Dont think my weekly exercise has ever changed!

That is only with the skin in surely?

1926 lol

No ta lol

It'd probably help! Will see how i get on, 2 weeks til I go to Mexico!!

Difficult coz i dont eat badly at meal times- bowl of cereal for breakfast, small sandwich, salad or left overs for lunch and lots of veg and protein for dinner but i do like my pasta and rice. What makes me gain easily is the rubbish snacks in between! Im quite good at maintaining weight but...

Gonna be a short journey, Attack is the only stage that works for me then i cant physically stand it anymore. I havent been bad but im not eating enough on Dukan coz the food Im actually allowed to eat is making me feel sick.. I could easily be a vegetarian right now lol

Well done! I lost 6.25lbs after 3 days on Attack, ive prob had too much veg today to warrant a loss of 0.75lbs to match ur loss :(

It will come off, you just have to persevere. Cruise is an essential part of the diet so dont give up on it, as soon as your body is used to eating veg again it will come off. Easier said than done but try not to weigh yourself everyday and also up the water if u can! Good luck and remember a...

Another 1lb off so a total of 6.25lbs in 3 days of Attack.. I need my veg now desperately

Well just finished my last day on Attack, hoping Ive had a further loss coz i really have felt like poo today :( havent eaten alot in the last two days coz havent felt like it and now feeling a bit sicky !

Well done u!!!

Another 2.2lbs off!!!

Desired amount of skimmed milk Small pot of natural or vanilla ff yogurt Half tsp of strawberry sf jelly crystals Hand full of ice Chuck in the blender and blitz! Yum!

Im gonna do 3 days coz i dont know how im gonna cope at the weekend

Thanks! That was just the first day!!

3lbs off :D

Bleurgh

I forgot how rank Attack is!!

The theory is after 10lbs but i think its closer to a full stone. At my most I weighed 14stone and was a size 18 and even at 10stone Im not yet a perfect 10. I think it depends on your body shape etc!

Me!!!! Well, as of tomorrow anyway. :D

I did it when i started WW in 2008, in 9 months i had nearly £50!

Awww wow hes beautiful Becky! Confratulations! Xxx

And such a cheap drink too! Mint is like a weed, u can find it anywhere!

Have only just seen the pics! He is gorgeous Jan u must be so proud! Big babies are cuddly babies, the best kind :D

Has anyone ever made up a shake and left it in the fridge for a day?? If so did it still taste ok??

1. Yes 2. I use skimmed but think semi-skimmed is recommended more 3. 250ml 4. Dont think its mandatory, I generally snack on fruit and nuts. 5. Ive only tried it once but read somewhere that someone drinks it 3 times a day 6. 10 days if u use the correct amount per serving

Not really and especially not like that. Oxo reduced salt cubes can be used occassionally in cooking to flavour foods but to just drink it out of a cup, no. They are way too salty and may stall your weight loss.

.. Just to add, dont be dissapointed to see ur weight go up in cruise as well as down!

Everyday... Diet or not diet. My friend says Im addicted, better than fags or booze though I suppose!!

No u cant eat fruit yogurts

Get yourself some of the bags and use herbs and spices to make your own seasoning. The maggi and colemans mixes are way too salty and contain flour

Chicken fridge raiders arent strictly allowed

I love that dress and u look fine!

Ive restarted with Attack 2 or 3 times and have been equally successful

In the basement!!!

75g dried is 200g cooked

Let us know!! Does seems a little crazy but u weigh more than me but are considerably smaller although taller!

No and also wouldnt eat too many gherkins either, theyre not an unlimited food

Do u not eat meat?

And one waaaaaaaaay down souf!!

Show off :P

No... Havent got any to hang low!!!

Tesco do their own ginger beer and cream sofa as well

Personally I dont think its my fault i eat badly sometimes, I blame Mcvities for dark chocolate hob nobs and Nestle for different flavoured Kit Kat chunkies oh and prunes!! :D

Il just never post my menus lol you Dukan lot would be mortified.. Or jealous ;)

I shouldnt even be here, i dont even do it anymore lol

Me too was gonna tell u to tell him to do one!

Concentrate on getting well and then worry about your weight. Dont deprive your body of the extra vitamins etc it needs right now.. And i do recommend orange kit kats for vitamin c!! Lol Hope u feel better soon xxxx

Freeze the lemon chunks as well! Acts as a flavouring and ice!

Slippery..

The centre of England is Coventry but thats even 4-5 hours from me being the further Central South of the country! Eilidh get a ruler lol!

I think that is your body telling u what u need and u shouldnt ignore it!

Scrap my runbish observation lol

Wow no egg?? Threw my wheatbran away the other day as it was out of date, im scared of those little bugs that hatch in flour.. Wheatbran might have them too!!

Oh i have seen that one im sure..

The very middle of the country .. Apparently is Leamington Spa.. Near Coventry?? Or Am i being total div??

Omg u r so poorly just eat something u fancy!!

Mine too and over time have lost same as Eilidh. My skin is far from firm but havent got flaps in places i dont want them! Spaniels ears on the other hand ...

I wanna see this dress!!!

1.5-2 litres is just recomended, the more u drink the more u will lose. Just dont drown yourself!!

Tesco value is suitable and i think 1 tablespoon a day is tollerated

Asda's fresh chicken fillets are at least 20p cheaper than tesco.. And nicer.

I say go on holiday and worry about it when u get back. I went to Florida for 2 weeks and only gained 2lbs. Went to Gran Canaria for a week and gained 7lbs and went to Tunisia for a week and STS so u never know, u might be ok. X

Muscle weighs more than fat, thats why

About the only thing that usually goes through peoples minds about online dating.. Im sure it'l be fine

I met my OH online, we've been together 8 years now!

I think if you want to try fish try a plain white fish fillet like cod or haddock, im not a massive fish eater but i like the white meat... Tuna might put u off trying something nicer Salmon fillets are lovely too

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww congratulations!!!!!

Tell me about it

I think 2 litres of any fluid is a bit extreme. 2 litres of SF fizzy pop would cause u no end of problems.. Water all the way and anything else on top of that should be seen as a bonus

Definitely hot ribena, i had tonsillitis just b4 xmas and thats the only thing that made me feel better at 2am!!

U need hot ribena

Get yourself a 2 sizes bigger bra, theyre amazing! Ive got a beautiful electric blue one from matalan as unfortunately im in the same boat as you!

Humans wouldnt be allowed on Dukan, apparently we taste very piggy like!!!

Its totally up to you really, you may not lose anymore if you carry on but then who knows you might! Depends how you're coping really.

Mmmmm liquidised horse

:D Everything we couldnt find in Tesco last weekend got the same response... Even shredded wheat lol

Maybe it contains horse..

Im the same, hate my stomach. Im a totally healthy weight and according to that wellbeing MOT I had last week also totally lean etc etc but my belly seriously needs some serious work

I got OH a card, I got naff all coz Im a total spoilt brat all year round tbh but we are going to a spa hotel this weekend for an over night retreat!!

Nothing for the belly though..

Like these???

I love my body con, pic of it in my inspirational pics

The floaty one but not the shoes

A 10 in DPs would not be too tight for u...

Shouldnt really be eating Mullers to be honest but alot of people do. If the nutritional content of the Aldi yogurts are the same or less than Mullers then fill your boots!

I suppose so

Over dinner last night my OH told me not to lose anymore weight otherwise Im going to start looking ill.. I hadnt realised he thought I looked slim as I am so was quite chuffed with that!

Are u drunk?

I know u can cook it from frozen but it the options are far greater if you defrost it then add it to a curry or marrinate it in something

Blue Diamond almonds are amazing! Shame u lot cant eat them on plan :P

We wouldnt be able to exercise the way we do without salt

I was amazed, it proves that sometimes it isnt just the numbers on regular scales that count. The lady told me I am very lean having a muscle mass as high as mine and this is also why i am heavier than i look and i can genuinly tell people i am big boned lol

The scales are over £1000...

You r right, had to look it up though lol

Not sure, think its total fat in my whole body and its lower than ideal apparently!!

No its a local run thing but u can buy the scales.. At a mega cost apparently

Was well chuffed!!!

Where is the recipe?

Hopefully no more spelling mistakes

Oh I know my skinny jeans are mine, only my backside will fit in the wide stretched area lol

That onken yogurt isnt strictly allowed

Beef is higher in protein though, the fat content is kinda irrelevant

Plain steaks Chicken Prawns Salads and veg Restaurants will always oblige if you tell them you want your food plain, without sauce or dressing etc Harvester is a fab place to go when on Dukan

Pork ISNT allowed until Conso What was the chicken curry made from? The base for a decent curry during Attack can only be made from very basic ingredients, ie; yogurt, spices, water.. What kind of yogurt are u eating? Very limited types of yogurt r suitable for Dukan. Maybe you're not eating...

SF jelly is allowed in ALL stages but only 3 portions a day during Attack

Dieting alone will not reduce the size of you stomach, it needs to be worked at. Toning exercises, sit ups etc are gonna be the only thing that will flatten it!

I work for HMRC ... Someones gotta ay?

Might make u think before u do it again if u do gain! Harsh maybe, but true!

I did Dukan on and off last year, its not something I can do for long. But anyway, i never experienced rapid weight gain, its all about self control more than anything. Ive never been a binger so probably not likely to put on loads of weight in a short period of time, I also exercise alot which...

Oh dear, laughable

Think its safe for me to say i have never eaten a whole tub of biscuits even when i was huge!!

Maybe we dont make her laugh no more :(

All diets get bad press

20 mins of any exercise would be fine, just dont over do it in the beginning coz you may not have the energy but it never seemed to have any effect on me. A 20-30 min cycle would be great, dont feel you HAVE to do it everyday either. If you're on your feet alot that counts a lot!

The Impossible Omg it was MEGA sad

Sugar free jelly

I paid £30 for just the hoop, was on special offer at the leisure centre im a member of.. Eventually we will have to own our own to carry on doing the classes

Im exactly the same with a childs hoop, tried the powerhoop and managed to get straight into it which was surprising.. Imagine being punched in the stomach 100 times... Thats what it feels like

Slippery slope, just remember half a chocolate bar is all it takes to spoil losses like the fantastic ones you've had already.. It may not show now.. Just a warning

http://www.powerhoop.co.uk/powerhoop.html

I just saw it lol I cook it as normal then just mush it up

I put about 21lbs of it back on and couldnt lose any for about 2 years, then did Dukan on and off to get back to what i am now

Me too but I lost over 3 stone doing weight watchers

I bought a power hoop today to try and sort my stomach out!

Yes- exactly what i think u should do and i will be taking my own advice, ive stalled but im maintaining and i dont think its my weight im unhappy with.. Its what my body looks like! I need to tone etc.. Im just gonna lose weight in the wrong places if i try too hard concentrating of the wrong...

NEWS FLASH GIRLS!!! If you are using weights when exercising DO NOT weigh for at least 3 days afterwards, our muscles carry on working and holding water etc which therefor makes us heavier! Infact it isnt advised to weigh after exercise at all, i know from experience that I retain water...

The queen

I havent used any others and ive always stuck around and im not even following Dukan right now!

Drink it hot then :P

Excellent, result!!

Yes and it may continue to be a bit random for a while

Watch for salt in sugar free squash, especially the double concentrate stuff. God knows what its doing in them...

You have to do equal amounts of PV days to PP days so you'll have to work it out. Everyone is different regards to when they feel sick etc

Ive been having a bad day for about 6 months, I still weigh less than I did this time last year, Im better at maintaining weight than losing it so as long as Im under 10st and no more than a size 12 I dont care... Until Im naked in front of the mirror... Sigh Lifes too short babe, Dukan is the...

Ive been dying to show people all day and as id already shown Laura I wondered who's diary I could stamp on lol You deserved cheering up so I picked yours hehe

Its a snow dragon, its just round the corner from where I live, I made Darren walk round with me to see it after we had driven past lol

This will cheer u up! :D

I call it dyslexia ;)

Fab news

Can they not be used online?

Did a Power Hoop class today, fab workout but ****** i feel like ive been beaten with a stick!! ... Suppose i have really, a big round one weighing 4lbs!!!

I always used the reduced salt oxo cubes and never had a problem

U havent seen my stomach.... Nothing to be jealous of

I'll never look like that coz im too lazy lol

I dont look like that at 9st 11!!! Fabulous!

I dont think its either

Frylite do a butter spray, depends what u want it for I suppose

I dont care what u eat so i wont tell u off, im probably likely to encourage u to eat more lol just send some my way next time lol

Sounds fabulous to me :D

Vanilla Caramel Hazlenut

Asda do loads!

Both not strictly Dukan friendly :(

Get some balsamic vinegar

Woah... Imagine how much money they'd have made if we all joined!!!

U can turn that off if you use a PC, need to delete the subscriptions to threads and there is an option about unread post alerts as well

I started Dukan on 9th January last year!!

Cool! Wonder if it's on Virgin..

DONT SWEAR!!!!!

You look amazing girl, well done!

5lbs in 3 days

O M G Ive just tried Bokwa ITS A MUST!!

Egg

I think lollypop head would be much amusement to some of us though :D Such fun!!

Should some of your "not"s be "and"s??

You've lost just over 3.5lbs 1kg = 2.3lbs You're doing great, stick at it!

Il give them a go if u dont want them Jan! X

Antibiotics dont make u put on weight, its the food u put in your mouth that does!

I can get on scales in front of people without feeling ashamed, I did this tonight after being told by my Zumba instructor that I should be a Zumba instructor.. Woop!!!!

Excellent!!!!

Just be careful they dont 'bung' u up

You might want to avoid pre-packed hams and meats etc as they are full of non-Dukan friendly ingredients. Also very salty, other than that just make sure you get enough pure proteins

Weigh naked after a wee as soon as u get up in the morning

SW EE encourages too many carbs so any amount of days on Dukan Attack would be a waste as it isnt easy.

Lol all the best hun

:D "his" ???

Such fun ;)

Pick me up along the way and Il think about it ( it will take her a few hours to work out Im 4 hours out the way )

I think I will. I can teach u all how to pile on the inches round your waists in an instant! You'll all be a size 8 in no time... brilliant when its the only size left on the rack!! I saw food and ate alot of it today!! Good times

I AM NOT GOING!!!

Ive gained I MEAN lost 3.5lbs eating those things!!

They do

Thank god! Someone else who is enjoying eating at Christmas! I say cheers to that gain :D

I got that before Xmas and thought 'Cheeky sods' ... then it ended up in the recycle bin!!

And me

Doh attach photo then press send!!!

Tadaaaaa

Merry Christmas all! No doubt Il be back on Dukan again after Christmas! Xx

Christmas dress at 9st 10ish

I boiled my first Gammon joint last xmas and it turned out amazing! I just cant remember if it has the film on or not lol Thank you!! Makes sense to leave it on lol xxx

A bit off topic but... I am going to boili a gammon joint I got in Asda and Im wondering do I have to take the papery film off? You know the one that holds it all together, not the outer plastic as I know that has to come off lol

;) mwah

..ahem... And??

Got back into the "9s" after hovering around in the "11s" for too long. Got promoted at work, has taken 9 years! Bought a new car Went to Florida ... Im sure there are more things

Awwww congratulations Jan!!! All the best. Xxxxx

Show off :p (Fab!!!)

Yes... Normal..

I weighed 11st something.. This morning I was 9st 10.5 ... Anyone else had a good year??

Every shop is different, even at my weight I dont always find a 12 comfortable!!

Fab dress!!

You'd easily get into a size 10 top half in DPs!

10st1 is the top end of my BMI and I hate being 10st anything! At 9st 11 (as of this morning...sigh) Im still not happy! Think I have naked body appearance issues which I can only sort with the correct exercise and toning etc Sometimes weight isnt an issue, we're suckers for what the scales say!!

You have done so well Becky, a true inspiration! Do you think you'll be happy at TW? I got to my original TW doing WW, lost nearly 3 stone and still wasnt happy so dropped another 8lbs!!

Small mans syndrome

Fab!! Im doing mine soon!!

I dont think that will stop her... ;)

Cheers!!

Becky is too nice for u, u like bad girls!! Lol

I told u that ur not my type!! ;)

No u dopey bint unless it is u that makes me eat???

That Gremlin hasnt left me alone for months so make sure you kick it in the teeth before it decides to stick around!!

I would add cumin, corriander and paprika to that recipe

Nandos sauces arent very high in un-suitable ingrediants either

I think your scales are broken ;)

Well done!! Have a cake on me :D ... oh, sorry I ate it!!

2 x 45 mins zumba for me today

What a fab idea! S- Smoked salmon on a poached egg M- Chicken Curry with Cauliflower rice D- Baked or fridge set cheese cake

My baked one doesnt look as thick as that :(

I have got LOADS of shoes, i took pics of most of them when I reboxed them all the other week

Definitely heels, wanna borrow these-

Beansprouts Prawns Chicken

Dont beat yourself up about it

Zumba at 8.30 this morning for 45 minutes!!!

I had a Gala day today :D

I was 14st once too :s

FATTY!! hehehe ;)

Id say if you've done the diet before successfully and was eating the veg theyve now illininated, Id carry doing it as you know it.

Thanks ladies! The choc orange cookies are amazing!!

Well done to you too then :D Im sorry to say I am celebrating in style

Today my little lovlies...., I GOT PROMOTED :D

B: Oatbran with yogurt and jelly crystals, Cup of tea L: Turkey salad, Muller Greek Lemon yogurt (maybe) D: Nando marinaded chicken breast with salad. SF Jelly

Good luck Jan, all the best!! Xxxx

Nope, they are too sugary and if they contain fruit pieces then defintely not. If you are desperate for flavoured yogurt have the Weight Watchers Vanilla or Toffee which contain the same carbs but without the fruit. But not strictly allowed. I normally buy a big pot of natural yogurt and add...

B: Oatbran mixed with yogurt and jelly crystals, cup of tea S: Packet of turkey, cup of tea L: Left over chicken curry, SF Jelly D: BNS Cottage pie At least 2litres of water

.. £70 a time and u always need it done more than once!
