You need a plan and stick it on your fridge so you know what your going to eat, it takes the thinking and deciding what to eat out if the equation. You read your plan and eat what it tells you x

If your weight doesnt shift when using the cheese then ditch it, stick to the quark, its amazing stuff!!

As long as you have a downward trend, dont beat yourself up about it. Get back on track and drink loads of water. x

Best checking with the Dukan site for your TW, it will tell you how long you need to spend on each section too. x

This week i have made a list of all the reasons why i want to lose weight and all the reasons why i dont want to lose weight. Now i have to try and challenge the negative reasons and rethink them into new positive achievable goals. Its not easy it going to take a bit of time. It doesnt help as...

Its about questioning your thought and behaviours and replace them with more helpful thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive behavioural therapy - How it works - NHS Choices Have a look at this link, its something you have to practice.

CBT is something i do in work most days I do it without thinking about it. you just question why you think that way and try to support it with evidence to back it up or not!

As long as your eating proteins youll be fine. Fill your boots! x

we'll keep checking up on you and keep you updated until you reach the magic number! xx

Weigh in tonight and here we go with the mind games. Do I really want to go and put myself through all the failure clappings?:boohoo: Ive been eating kak this week as i was last week so not expecting any losses this week.:break_diet:

Not sure yet Sue, when i finish the book i decide then. When i do Dukan i lose, but i need to try and keep the fruit and veggies going and lose the wheat and root veggies, very much like PV days, but with fruit x

Surely being married to a butcher has its Dukan advantages;)

What can I tell you, only that this dieting lark has been doing my head in these past few weeks!! I totally lost the plot and put 4 lbs on last week so im officially heavier than when i started the conversion to SW. Anyway i have started reading the low carb revolution by John McLean and what...

Gotta say Dukan was a lot easier to follow and had the results, even following the plan 100% still put on half a pound. losing the plot big time!! x

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. We have started to decorate the little bedroom, I dont know were we get all the stuff and kak from and god know how it all fits back in there. our upstairs reminds me of that Hoarders program!! boxes of kak everywhere don't know how long i can stand...
