I did Dukan for a about 5 weeks before switching to slimming world. I lost around a stone on Dukan but found it quite difficult fitting it in with family life even though it was very effective, so switched to slimming world. My losses have been small and steady with slimming world - however I'm...

Well done, such a fantastic achievement! Reading your post is very encouraging.

Love your honesty, we've all been there! You seem motivated so I'm sure you'll do well this time round.

wow, you have lovely legs! Good luck with the weight loss.

Really well done to you. I find reading posts from people who have achieved their targets is so inspiring and really does spur me on so thank you!

Thank you so much, if you haven't tried this recipe and you like curry, I highly recommend it - it's lovely. I added some spinach at the end for my superfree veg.

Thanks for looking - will try and wing it. I'm sure I remember most of it.

Sorry it's in the one before the new mag - sorry didn't make myself very clear!

Ah thank you but it's not that one, it's got tamrind paste in it, and passata, coconut milk and a few spices- I swear it's called Goan Prawn curry.

Hello I hope I've posted in the correct place!!! I was wondering if any of you can help, in the last edition of the slimming world mag there was a gorgeous recipe for Goan Prawn Curry - I cut it out and used it last week - it was fabulous, but I think my other half threw the recipe away while...

My mum always use to go on about how big I'd got and how people who use to know me from school would be so shocked if they saw how big I'd become. She had no quarms about making me cry. The comments got worse after a few red wines, she even said she give me a £1000 to lose weight. Our...

Oops, waffled on a bit there for no reason.

Twinmum - I was doing the dukan diet the same time as you, I remember you from the boards. It helped me lose about a stone quickly but like you really struggled to make it work with my young family, and got fed up with the restrictiveness, cudos to those who stick to it. However, I'm so pleased...

Fantastic - you really can see the difference, you must feel lighter as well. I never let anyone take photos of me, but I'm definitely going to take some for my weight loss journey, everyone on here has inspired me. Well done to you!

My first full week on slimming world and I lost 3lb - so very happy. Let's see if I can stay motivated this week, and avoid getting hammered at the party I have on Friday.

Hi all I've recently defected from Dukan, which helped me shift a stone, which is fab. But I really started to struggle with fitting it into family life. I went to my first SW meeting on Wed, and I loved the support. Sadly I've gone right off track the last couple of days, my two year old had...

Thanks for the replies. The Thai chicken soup sounds lovely and the noodles sound good plan. Will try and get some at the weekend. I managed to stay on track last night, and I feel a bit better today. Here's my menu for yesterday (PV) B - Oatbran and Wheatbran Galette, 100g Tinned Mackerel...

I've got a stinking cold and headache, and really fancy a bowl of hot creamy pasta, I'm craving something really comforting. Do you all stick to the diet when you're not feeling well? Trying to think what I can have tonight that's comforting but does not take to much effort as I have no energy.

Hooray! 3lb down today after my slow start last week. I'm so pleased and a few people have asked if I've lost weight. A long way to go but I'm happy.

Natlou, it's a real struggle sometimes isn't it especially if you're in pain with your back. But look at your success so far, you've lost over a stone, that's a great achievement. What has helped me to stay on track is planning a weekly menu in advance (including snacks) and sticking to it...

I made this last night and it really was delicious so thought I would share: This recipe serves two. - 2 x Cod Fillets - 2 garlic clove, finely chopped - 1 aubergine, chopped into chunks - 2 Large Mushrooms, chopped into chunks - 1 red onion, diced - 1 Red Pepper, chopped - 1 Courgette...

and not worth having if you can't have on white toast with lashings of real butter!!! ;)

Dukan has made me think about everything I eat, and made me realise how much I use to snack on rubbish without even thinking about it. I think the strictness of this diet is what suits me.

Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies, I popped on the scales this morning and I've lost a lb already. So feeling better already. X

Today was my first weigh in after my first week on Cruise and I've lost nothing!!! I'm so disappointed after my success on attack. I'm not going to beat myself up too much as it my TOTM this morning and I tend to bloat quite a bit and it was a PV yesterday. Still disappointed though because I've...

You look amazing. Wow. Thank you for posting in this, I'm really struggling not to eat something naughty today, but I won't because I'd like to look as good as you one day soon.

Well done you. Fantastic. I love hearing about people's sucesses, it's very motivating and spurs me on. I'm really hoping to get my BMI below 30 when I weigh myself on Monday.

It's probably one of the main reasons I got to this weight in the first place - putting food in my mouth and not thinking about it!

I was preparing my kids some fruit for after dinner and I absent mindedly put a big piece of pear in my big gob! So disappointed - I've been so good. I know it probably won't matter that much but still annoyed! I'll have to be extra careful when preparing their meals. :(

Thanks guys - my partner is half Japanese so it's a staple in our house. Will use with caution.

anyone? :confused:

hello - have started cruise today, so good to have veges! I wonder if any of you helpful people could tell me if miso is allowed, I use it as a marinade and as a soup.

Thanks Trudi - today is my last day of attack. I'm so looking forward to eating some veg tomorrow. I'm really pleased to have come across this forum, I've already found it invaluable.

Trudy - that's fantastic. Great achievement. It's right that you should be proud of yourself. I'm new to the Dukan Diet on my 6 day of attack and your story is really motivating.

That's made me so happy! One of my favourite veg. Thank you!

Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere else, but is butternut squash allowed on PV days, I'm starting cruise on Monday and have one that needs eating fairly soon. I assume that you can if carrots are allowed that it would be to. So excited about eating veg!

Hi Ruby - I'm new too. I'm on day 4 of attack and have lost 5lbs, so I'm feeling quite motivated. Good luck with it.

Thanks guys - good luck to you all too, hope we can all motivate each other through this. I've managed to resist the kids treats tonight - so am pleased with myself.

Hello - I'm Patsy. I'm on the third day of Attack and so far have lost 4lbs which is great but I'm missing chocolate so badly. I joined the site to help me stay motivated. Anyone have any words of advice?

Hello - I'm new! Hello I'm Patsy, I stumbled across this website while looking for support from those on the Dukan diet - looks like a fantastic site. This is my first real attempt at losing weight and I'm determined to stick at it. I'm on day 3 of the attack phase of this diet, so far so good...
