Not eaten anything since. Part resolve, part laziness about going to the kitchen.

Do you believe your body has a "go to" weight? Because mine sure as egg mayo does!!! No matter how careful I am with my portion size, my calories, my fat intake, my water intake. I will lose maybe 4 pounds, I take my eye off the ball for maybe 2 days at most and BOING I'm back to 160lbs to...

Just gone through this thread and thank you so much to the people that pointed out all the various takeaways and fast food. I especially appreciate the Costa points, my weekly treat lol

Plan , plan and plan some more, your food for the day. Never leave it so you find yourself scouring the fridge and the cupboards when you're hungry, searching what to eat as that's when the disasters will happen. Allow youself a treat now and then. If not you'll be more tempted to break a...

Thanks everyone. Wickedwitch that's a great idea I never thought of that. That's what I will do too, when people ask me ( as they always do as I'm so difficult :sign0007:seemingly) I'll tell them clothes for xmas pressies! Win win for everyone lol.

2 lbs down this morning. Fantastic, delighted with this. Breakfast this morning 2 sweet n crispy ryvita with some peanut butter.

:eek: Whoops didn't track anything at all yesterday. Don't know how that happened I completely forgot lol. Anyhoo no harm done back to tracking today. I think today will be mostly a duvet day the weather outside is miserable. It'll take a lot to coax me outside.

It's awful. Today is another day, we WILL do this!

Still shufflin' along with mfp. I find I'm not having to think as much about not eating so much at this stage. Tonight though I could have eaten the entire house. My husband had to physically step between me and the fridge. An intervention lol. The above mentioned mint chocolate and coffee...

mmmmm I've found a delicious way to combine my 2 most favourite things. Options mint madness with a healthy spoonful of coffee. Delicious x 100 and after drinking this I no longer want to go and raid the presses like a mad woman looking for non existant chocolate bars lol. Will have to...

Went our for a great walk today. Across the Curragh of Kildare so lots of ups and downs, plenty of hills to get the heart and blood pumping. This was the first exercise I've done in an age. Well since I did the 30 day shred for a bit and so badly injured my knees I could hardly walk for a...

I *think* I fixed it now lol. The 4 pound loss has disappeared anyway lol. Breakfast this morning some left over ham and some cottage cheese with loads of pepper. Not up to much today, it's going to be a bit of a blah day. I might just pick up on some cross stitch stuff I started and never...

Something weird has happened my mfp profile. I was messing around with it last night and I deleted a few weights and altered my start weight to match the weight on here. Suddenly I've lost 4 lbs on there! So if you have congratulated me on there thanks, but I was to embarrassed on there to...

mmm peanut butter, Thats breakfast tomorrow sorted lol. You can definitely do it, keep going!

Oh I hope so, I'd imagine the first week though will be mostly water and the lack of bloat from not eating all the rubbbbbiiiiishhhh I'd been loading in the week before lol. Ohh pink and whites are 2 wafers containing a strip of pink and white marshmallow. I get them in Tesco. Pinknwhites!

B: Soda bread sanwich made with shaws ham, hummus as spread and iceberg lettuce. Snack: some carrot sticks and hummus Water, coffee and tea. Definitely feeling less bloated today, so thats a positive. Hope everyone's doing ok today!

Yeah I always find when I have cereal I'm starved by 11 and then spend the rest of the day "chasing" the hunger away with anything I can find. Lunch today: left over brown rice and veg with a pitta bread. Dinner: Big als quarter pounder with a white bap lettuce and tomato. A real change with...

Breakfast today: Tesco Brown soda bread with Ikea fish paste. Delish. Plus some tesco light cottage cheese on the side. All in all came to about 200 cals. 11:45 now and stil not hungry so a good brekkie. ( had this at 9 ish)

Jeesh I do that too, retraining the brain is really the key here isn't it.

Lunch: Pitta bread, fish cake hummus lettuce and cottage cheese. Just comes in a touch over 300 kcals. Had this at about 1:30 and still full now, so a good lunch. But not too much. Using MFP properly today, have used 627 cals or there abouts so far, so a good bit Kcal room for my chicken...

Good Luck !

Today is Water day. Aim for 6 glasses, 1 an hour I reckon to go for and see how I get on with that. B: Boiled egg. 1 cracker bread with crab paste. Coffee. Glass water.

For dinner tonight I made a "fried" rice dinner. Brown rice with yellow pepper and carrot fried seperately with chinese 5 spice. Added to that 2 eggs dry fried with soy sauce and more 5 spice. All tossed together with some bacon pieces, it was delish. AND I managed to restrain myself by...

That's a really simple, but great idea. All my plates are tyre sized (practically anyway). Must look next time I'm in the shops for a more reasonably sized plate. Good tip :clap:. It's funny that never even registered with me before.

That's it exactly, the waste of food. We were brought up to clear our plate. No one left the table until plates were practically licked clean. It's so hard to against that. I'm starting to get my head around making much less and / or freezing the excess, so my mind isn't shouting "thats so...

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself. Just saw that now in your sig LittleSis and how true it is.

Thanks a million LittleSis and Donzy. Good luck to the both of you staying on track too! Food today so far: B: 1 slice soda bread and steamed rhubarb L: Wholewheat pitta bread, mini fish cake, tsp low fat hummus, iceberg lettuce D: Looking like its going to be home made egg fried rice to use...

117 days until Christmas day. This is my motivation. I want to wear tight jeggings sloppy jumper and knee boots. I don't want the sloppy jumper to be hiding the spare tyre(s) I'm currently sporting. I suppose someone looking at me might say I'm not over weight but I've just gotten clever...

The experiments will have to wait until tomorrow though , had the yoghurt pie this morning.

Oh it would work I think, just need to subsitute something savoury for the filling. Scrambled eggs with some added meat or just plain? Yep going for another stone maintainer, am on or about 11stone at the moment so wanting to get to 10.

Morning everyone, thanks for posting that info on the new thread maintainer! That icecream sounds good for the coming months Atropos, of course it will probably guarantee snow and ice for July and August here in "sunny" Ireland if I try it lol

I've been having pie the past couple of days. Well ok i fess up its oatbran pie lol. 2tbsp oatbran 1 egg 1tbsp canderal 1tbsp (ish) milk 1teaspoon baking powder. Mix til you can't mix anymore and mixrowave in a bowl for 2 mins. It will rise but fall in the centre when done leaving the sides...

The offending chocolates are now up in the veryyyyyy high wardrobe. Out of sight out of mind. Good save there with the creme eggs maintainer lol

Mothers day today. I got a box of chocolates. I have been sitting on my hands all day long to stop myself from eating them. I've not touched them but jeeeeeeeeeeez I wish the husband had bought something else ( yes I am ungrateful I know this). Anything else would have been brilliant, but...

The story with the ham is a sad one I'm afraid. My (stoooooooopid) brain had a meltdown and went back to atkins without telling me and made me eat the bloomin ham. I totally blanked out where I'd read in the book about all ham being a no no (funny I'd avoided all other boring type hams though...

I saw these 2 run from her garden earlier on! The pots on for some soft boiled now lol

Ha thats brilliant - little chuck umbrellas

Oh no concern I LOVE eggs too lol I just hadn't realised I'd eaten so many. Love the idea that mouse has a load of them running round!

PP B: Dry fried egg + 2 turkey rashers L: Grilled steak and a soft boiled egg for sauce D: scrambled eggs S: Yoghurt oatbran cake

The small amount is purely as I can't eat as much as I used to be able. So a small amount of a few bits is better I think than a huge pile of 1 thing. Plus I can eat all the veg up over the weekend so theres no waste. This weekend I'll get some different veg to vary it a bit and keep the...

Well the past 3 days have been bliss. Veggies bring me so much joy now when I eat them. Having them only 3 days a week means I only eat the ones I really like and enjoy to make the most of what I can eat. At the moment its a small amount of roast carrot, celeriac, brocolli & cherry tomato...

PV B: turkey meatloaf + cucumber + cherry tomato D: Roast salmon wrapped in Prosciutto ham. with roast carrot and celeriac S: Yoghurt S: galette

I've been using a Lidl's dairy find this week and it's not at all bad and very cheap. The brand is Linessa, it's a blue and white packaging and so far I've found a cream cheese at 0.2% fat and a plain yoghurt at 0.1% fat. I'm in Ireland so the prices here were about 69c if I remember rightly...

That page makes me want to do this , a lot, :massmoon:

Thanks for answering maintainer. I don't think I'm stalling but I want to be aware that it could happen if I go mad on the cheesy type stuff. The cottage cheese is the tesco own light options 1. The cream cheese is a 0.2% from Lidl so its grand I hope. Actually found a rage of really low fat...

yep theres a head of lettuce in the fridge looking at me every time i open it lol:cool:

PP day Wednesday B: Low fat yoghurt L: Turkey meatloaf plus cottage cheese D: cottage cheese flavoured with dijon and some chicken breast, 2 poached eggs S: oat bran yoghurt cake with cream cheese frosting Diet coke and plain water. Question: I seem to be leaning heavily on the quark, cottage...

Day 4 PP tomorrow. I can't believe I'm looking forward to Friday so I have have some veggies lol. Friday night here used to be pizza and beer blow out night, how times change.

Hi there sarah, best of luck on the Dukan plan. It sounds like you're good to go! I'm only relatively new here on the dukan board but I have to say everyone has been so welcoming and so full of advice, it's great! One of the nicest little bits of the internet I've found!

now that really did make me laugh out loud, I love it.:D

mmmm totally agree with the crispy crust. Some ponderings I had today about this diet. I can deal quite nicely with the PP and the PV days and that side of the diet. But OMG all the water I'm drinking, I'm finding the task of going to the loo to be a right pain in the *** lol Every time I...

PV day B: 2 slices smoked salmon D: roast celeriac plus roast beef plus roast onion S: 3 smoked salmon muffins S: slice of roast beef with mustardy quark S: 125g yoghurt Coffee + water + diet coke

I just made the salmon/seafood muffins from the recipes thread, maintainers if i remember correctly. Just had 3 of them there now for my daily oatbran allowance and they're gorgeous. 2 thumbs up! It also means my breakfast for the next 3 days is sorted which will be so handy. I won't have to...

Brilliant thanks so much for your replies.

Totally , totally vain motivation for me BUT i want to look GREAT in a pair of jeans. Not just, sure they look ok, they'll do.

Yep we tend to visit family at the weekends. They just about managed the idea that I wasn't eating bread or cakes etc when on Atkins, So I think it would totally blow them away if I were to say I'm only eating meat on a certain day lol. Definately a plus also about the non veg wasting, can't...

PV day, total beginner in this section so forgive mistakes please! B: Ex Light Philly in rolled turkey slices + mushrooms Snack: .1% fat frozen yoghurt Dinner: Home style yuk sung Minced beef with diced pepper, onion & carrot dry fried with loads of dried chili, served with iceberg lettuce...

Oh good thinking, never thought of that! Thanks jaqys!

Well up until 10 minutes ago it was going to be 3/3. But I was just reading an old thread there and someone mentioned doing 4 PP/ 3 PV. i.e Mon-Thurs PP and the every Fri, sat and sunday PV. I reckon that could really work for me as I wouldnt have to think about where I was, just set days set...

Thats brilliant thanks both for your replies.

Oh thats interesting alright, I can see why though if a person took it to extremes by doing an extended attack phase it could be dangerous for a lower BMI person. Onto Day 4 for me today. So onto the cruise stage for me. Delighted to have some veg back today, 3 days was about right for me on...

Even though I give out about the wonky scales, I think I'm going to stick with it as it is so vague. In another lifetime I had a digital scales and was absolutely obsessed with weighing myself in it. Slight variations could be picked up and could send me off into a spiral for the entire day...

Day 3 today and just did weigh in. Down another pound today woohoo. Just had the galette for breakfast, delicious despite it sticking to the fry pan. Loads of water to start the day on the right foot.

Thank you both for replying. Yep maintainer the true weight I got on the site was 9stone 9lbs, so I've just taken that weight on my stats as it works out at 9 and a half stone. My brain works weirdly with weight, I like the sound of it better lol. Thanks for that anjuschka, I'll have to get...

Hi everyone, new to the Dukan Diet :wave_cry: I hope everyone is getting on well today.

Oh thats great jaqys, I don't know why I got the 100g into my head lol. Before the low carb life I couldn't abide yoghurt, now I'd eat it all day if let lol Tastes really change eating like this.

So Day 2 today. Weigh in first thing this morning and I seem to be 2lbs down wahay. Again I say seem as the scales is so wonky lol. Drinking huge amounts of water again, and yes dukandebut am keeping an eyeout now for the threadbare bits lol. B: 1.5tbs oatbran with 4tbsp milk as a porridge...

Oh thanks for that, theres so much new information to take in from the book, it seems I read something new and another bit of information drops out of my brain lol I actually remember reading that now, so will go easy on it. Thanks:thankyou:

So i've been reading a lot lately on this site and the internet about the Dukan Diet. So I saw the book on offer the other day so bought it. I had a good read and a lot of it has really made sense to me. I have lost weight on atkins but the weight seems to be migrating to my thighs and I have...

Well done on your losses missy. I've found that some people just don't like others to lose weight. (as if it directly affects them!!) Bah humbug to the begrudgers I say and enjoy your ball this weekend.

Really well done on your losses. I was just going to post that at smaller weights smaller losses will make a difference in how you look. So that 11 lbs you have to go may very well make a big difference in your overall shape. Good luck with it! I think going for a weight a bit under the 11...

Thanks a million girls, guzzling the water here as i browse!

Weigh in 2 this morning, that is sunday morning. Down another 5 pounds so 15 pounds gone in 2 weeks. Hurrahhhhhh!

wooohooo delighted for you. It sure is a great feeling getting that zip and button done up on the jeans in the next size down :woohoo:>>> us in our new fitting jeans!!!

Thanks a million girls, I reckon I'll go in again next week and buy a pair of the size 10 and can then have a pair of the same jeans in an 18, 14 and a 10 to show how far I've come to myself when I've lost the weight.:)

Pretty much I think it is like this for most people. I've done lipotrim before a few years ago and this time I'm not finding it difficult at all BUT I'm finding myself every so often wavering and thinking god I can't do this for much longer. It's our minds playing tricks with us I reckon.

SlimmerSu - 14lbs, to get me into 12stones Daisy 1966 - 12lbs Diole - 14lbs to get my second stone. Dimage - 14 lbs

weigh in this morning WoooHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO First weigh in today and 10 pounds down. 10 pounds gone forever, never to return to this area!! As another plus, I went into Penneys to pick up a few bits and pieces and they were selling off jeans for €5, so I picked up a size 14 as a diet into...

Very very thirsty today, despite drinking my own weight (it feels like) in water. Water is definately helping to keep me full though until ketosis kicks in as I haven't had any pangs of hunger at all. I took some measurements of myself today, just so I could see my progress as I go along...

Hi there Daisy, thank you for the welcome :)

Thank you so much. I hope I do as well on it this time round. You're having great success on it slimmersu, keep up the good work!

Wow you look fantastic, really well done

Well done molly - brilliant loss!

Oh well done. It's great to hit those goals, they help to keep us going I think

Nice loss Kevin, well done. Just starting my own journey today, hopefully I'll start losing too soon lol

Hi and thanks so much for the welcome. Yep I can highly recommend Lipotrim. Fingers crossed for this time round! You've had great losses for your first 2 weeks best of luck for your third weigh in !

So i thought I'd start a diary for my journey on Lipotrim. :) I did Lipotrim about 5 or 6 years ago and lost about 4 stone and kept it off for that amount of time too! Then I got pregnant, have a great little boy now, but boy oh boy did i eat for 9 solid months. My brain switched off and I...

hee hee am still smiling thinking of the clothes i'll be wearing for christmas .......... definately tastes have changed, normally by this time i'd be milling into the mince pies and the celebrations left in handy bowls.....not 1 has passed my lips yet.......long may this continue. Hit...

you'd be fine with the sushi in our supermarkets though as the fish isn't actually raw. Its smoked fish, cooked chicken and veg in them . Sure the time it takes for them to get food on our shelves it would be gone off completely if it were raw. Try it .....the m&s 1 is really...

thanks all, maintenance is going great thanks . Am having a shake in the morning, my main meal is at about 3pm and then another shake at night . Am still drinking loads of water. I *think* i started the maintenance about 2 weeks ago and have lost 5 lbs in that time .....am at 150lbs exactly...

well said Diva, took the words right out of my mouth lol At the start of my journey i had people saying i was doing a starvation diet, they just didnt realise (care?) what diet i was doing ......BUT as the weight has started to fall off me , SUDDENLY they all interested to know what i've been...

I'm finding the complete opposite at the moment .. Have been to a few xmas parties and obviously not drinking (was on lipotrim , now on maintenance). Once i got over the fact that i wasnt drinking, i soon found that the normal confidence i thought i was getting from the alcohol, was still there...

well to update , havent been about for a bit. I came off the lipotrim tfr as the losses had slowed to such a degree my pharmacist and i agreed i should do the refeed and do the maintenance programme . I tell ye, the portion sizes i am eating now are soooooo tiny in comparison to what i would...

ahhh the good old emails & pms from real brave people who know nothing about your situation, but yet feel can comment on what you do........behind the safety of their secret messages. Glad you hopefully got it sorted out kami, for your own sanity.

awww thank you all, reading through all of your stories on this fab site have really helped me along too. Each and everyone is an inspiration in their own right. :)

Just back from my 4th weigh in and i've lost 22 lbs. I really cant believe it , a stone and a half in a month! I guess it will slow down now, but am so much closer to my goal now. Still feel I am going strong on the LT. The only thing worrying me now, is the after math of this diet. At...

hallooo there , no your not alone lol Brill reply to yer other half lol, and so true, must remember that when mine is trying to persuade me to go onto the refeed lol. I'm coming to towards the end of my 4th week and all going well so far. Kepp on shaking lol!!! :D

keep it up Betty.......that weigh in will be sooo worth it !!
