Well done on your loss Jo. Hope your mouth isn't too bad. My teeth are all sore thinking about as had that done too. Not pleasant at all x

Brilliant work Mrs. x

Well ladies I have had a rubbish week food wise. Another year older today so have been out three times this week so far for lunch! Have decided to forget about dieting until Monday and enjoy some vino tonight. That's the one thing apart from my work's Xmas night out that I haven't indulged in...

Well done P x

Good luck Carole x

I know it does so I just need to get the head into gear. I have couple of pairs of trousers that I was just about getting into in the summer so that's my 1st goal to get them on x

Pauline if you can arrange that for me it would be fantastic. Susan I'll keep the thought of you shouting at me and if all else fails I will get Jan to give me a slap when I go to work. X

Fantastic x

Feel free to give me a slap. Work is easy it's in the house thats the problem! I need to get back n the zone. Pity there's not some dukan camera where we can keep an eye on one another when someone enters the kitchen and an alarm gets set off!

I'm trying but boy is it hard. Need to get supply's in so off to te supermarket tomorrow morning. Been busy with housework today. Can my life get anymore exciting. Meeting my bessie shortly with the kids for craft making. Keeps thm amused for a couple of hours x

Yip I will need you to keep me on the straight and narrow x

Just been on the Dukan website to calculate TW which the good doctor has changed again. Slightly less too loose which I can more than live with. He says I should get there by the 21st march which is not that far away. Please please let this spur me into action.

Have updated my stats as no point in kidding myself on. Thankfully not in the obese category again. Not going back there ever.

Trudy you have lost an massive amount of weight. You can't and you won't put it back on. That will be off in no time x

My name is Evelyn and I am addicted to reality tv. I recorded it and somehow deleted it but all is not lost its on this afternoon and I can miss out Brian talking rubbish and the adverts. x

Well done resisting the chocolate very hard to do! Good luck x

Yesterday was hard was hungry all day and had the headache! Managed to survive but boy it was difficult not to succumb. Had a humungus bowl of chilli for dinner which helped. Anyway looking forward to today. Don't work on a Friday so off with the kids to panto with John Barrowman and the...

Day 2 nearly over. Refused chocolate at work although in my head I was saying yes please but my mouth said no thank you! Onwards and downwards x

Thanks Ladies. 1lb off today. x

Thanks Jo x. Weighed in this morning half a stone heavier. I thought it would be much worse! Plan for today is chicken and poached eggs for brekkie, tuna and balsamic vinegar for lunch and steak for dinner.

Congratulations Jo what a lovely present. x

Well ladies been absent for a while although still been keeping up with the diaries. Seem to be a recurring theme going on. Everyone seems to have put on some weight I thought it would just be me! Anyway going to join the Duan bus again tomorrow. Happy 2013 to one and all. Here's to a slim 2013 x

Sorry to hear that you've been unwell. Diets can wait Jo. You need to be 100% better before you start Dukaning again x

Bad toothache x

Not sure Laura as she has probs with her wisdom tooth! Just what you need a week before you are getting married. I will pass on your kind wishes when I see her on the day.

Still finding it hard to get back on track dukanwise however I have managed to loose a pound so I must be doing something right. Off to make some butternut squash soup as wet and miserable today.

The 17th is jan's big day x

Just what I needed Susan. Was good yesterday so onwards and downwards. X

Hi Eilidh, Just caught up with your news. Keep strong as I know it's hard to be friends with someone you love. Hope it all works out for you x

Brilliant weight loss so far. x

Well I've just updated my stats as haven't done it for ages. Thought if I put it on here it would give me the kickstart needed to get back on track! Been rubbish eating wise since getting back from holiday. Finding it hard to get motivated again as miss all the things that are bad for me. Some...

Hi Krazykik, page 2 of the recipe thread has two on it. It trial and error with them adapt to suit you. I only use 2 eggs in mine when the recipe says 4. Just made some vanilla ones.

Apart from the porridge (can't even put it in my mouth) your food sounds amazing even at 8 o'clock in the morning. x

You are too kind Susan. Hate getting my photo taken. x Despite the clocks going back I am wide awake. There again i feel asleep just after 9! It's pitch dark and still feels like the middle of the night.

You were a brilliant princess Fiona. It was the green makeup and wig that did it . Nothing else as you don't normally resemble as ogar (spelling) in any shape or form. x

Thank you (I think) x

As long that i don't look like a scary person that should have really dressed up to hide the fact that I look scary then I don't mind.

I'm fine although I wasn't out for as long as you. Been to the shops and toys-r-us. Couldn't have done that with a hangover. x

Jan have you got a decent photo of me on your phone?

I'm not in any of them that Jan has put up. Not sure I won't anyone to see me though as don't like getting my photo taken! Intact I'm in the background of the last one Jan has put up where she is kneeling in front of the stripper. I've the multi orange coloured dress on beside my other bessy...

My daughter is making me do Just Dance on the wii today so some exercise should help. Plus I have sore feet from all the dancing I did last night.

I prefer men to be taller than me but I would have made an exception for him!

He was a bit short but made up for it in other ways if you get my drift........

Will do x

Have been too busy catching up on all the washing to put anything on this. After a week away all inclusive I only put on 4lbs. Amazing really as thought it would be about a stone due to the amount I ate! I know I said I would try and be good but the food was tooooo good to resist and holidays...

Yip I had to avert my eyes................ He was very flexible though! It was a good night. I am a light weight and left at 10 so can't comment on what occurred after then!

I'll be the one without the green face! If Jan doesn't tell you tonight I will fill you all in the goss tomorrow. Hope the snow stays away. My mum and dad are in Inverness for the weekend and it's snowing there. None in East Kilbride so far but it's blinkin freezing. Brrrrr. Will need a few wee...

Well done you. I said you would have done it by the time I got back and you have. x

Sorry to hear that you've not been well. It will be all the stress of your job coming out on your body. Try and forget about work (easier said than done if you are like me worries about everything then worries when I haven't got anything to worry about) for the weekend. Take care x

Thanks Susan x

i know Im all me me me. X

Thanks P x

Well diet going to be out of the window for the next week as going on my holibags. Yipee some sunshine before the winter sets in. I will try my best to keep on the straight and narrow. Have told my daughter that she must make me do the aqua aerobics every day and make sure I also swim!

How right you were x

Good luck. I tried it as well and put weight on. Glad I wasn't the only one it didn't work for as was thinking I must have been doing something wrong. I lost what I put on in the first week back. Dukan does work.

3 of the 4lbs put on at the weekend have disappeared. Thank goodness.

I never thought of that. Didn't think I could put that much on overnight. Probably not been drinking enough fluids as seem to forget to drink water at the weekend x

Back on the straight and narrow. Dukan bread was baked last night. Had a slice this morning with a boiled egg. Lunch salad and tuna. Dinner is cooking trying Becky's cheeseburger pie was is looking good. Got some jelly in the fridge for latter and a dukan muffin.

Jan you are a nutter. You've halfed in size and you ain't got bingo wings anymore. What a difference and I did say difference not different. X

Unfortunately there are not many things that I don't like apart fom cauliflower and porridge so hence v difficult. Kids are 7 and 4 so although I do try not to get them sweet things I always give in as makes life a bit easier. I know I've not got much to go but that seems to make it harder for...

Well feeling fat today. Just been out for a long walk which I had to force myself to do. Got a fright when I went on the scales this morning and I have put on 4lbs since yesterday. What the heck. Must get myself back in the right frame of mind as determined not to go above 12 stone again. Never...

Ladies, I spent the whole of last week trying to get off the weight I had put on last weekend. To be fair to myself there is a lot of stuff going on at work and people getting made redundant which was totally for me anyway unexpected. This weekend I had no excuse! Anyway enough of my...

Have managed a lie in this morning till 7:20! All sore though as the wee man decide to come through during the night and take up the whole bed. Been squished to a pulp.

Sad I know but tv is great tonight. Strictly and Merlin on BBC and take me out and the x factor on itv. Thank goodness for sky plus. Happy days at last the tv programmers have realised that some us do not have a life and don't need to go and find one at least on the run up to Xmas.

It takes ten times as long as well. I try and leave the kids at home as I end up with things in the trolley that I didn't want and didn't need.

What do you mean think you are going mad? I thought you already were. :D

Haha. It's worse than that their dad will need to look after them!

You know if I could go I would. Remember I am getting the whole night away for your wedding!

One load of washing out and another on the go. Nice and sunny here today. Two days on a row something strange there. Also been to Morrisons for it opening at 8 for the weekly shop. So much quicker when there is hardly anyone else there.

I would leave it. My niece got told by friends when she was about the same age and didn't want to say to her mum incase she didn't get any presents. My daughter is coming up for 8 and not 100% sure that she believes as I am having to come up with more elaborate stories each year. I don't really...

That sounds great. Something different to try.

Fabuloso well done Jo x

Becky you are now a shadow of your former self. You are fading away. Awesome well done. x

Thank you so much for the offer Pauline. Don't think my two kids (7 & 4) would allow their mum to go away for the weekend. It's bad enough if I go on a night out! All I get is why do you have to go out, can I not come with with you, are you coming back. It's not worth the grief. You would think...

Despite being tired I am wide awake.com and have been since about 5:30 this morning. Why is it hard to get up for work on a week day but yet no bother at the weekend!!!

Bread will be supplied on monday. Enjoy the rest of the weekend x

Hi Pauline, I will be keeping everything crossed for you and hope it all works out this time around x

That's crap. Hopefully everything goes well when they visit next week. You know you will be able to tell by my face. I might lie but it doesn't! Good job on the weight front. I refrained from buying the pinballs today. I hope you are impressed. It was hard though as they were calling my name...

Great work Carole. It's great seeing the weight coming off every week. It the motivation I need to keep going. x

The best bread by far is the bread maker one. I have made it in the microwave and the oven but I have to say the bread maker wins hands down. I know that if you haven't got one it's a bit of an expensive but worth every penny. It has to be one of the best gadgets that I bought although it was...

That's a good idea. No chit chat on the recipe thread. Can't wait to see what you put on it Becky. x

Did all go ok at the registrars? x

Sts this week as didn't have a very good weekend food wise or should I say I did and have spent this week trying to loose what I put on! Been really tired as well. Don't remember being like that the last time I was on cruise. Maybe it's this depressing time of the year. Despite being tired I did...

Just change the names to something Dukany and no-one will know x

No problem at all. Everyone welcome here. You are doing very well yourself. x

Becky I think you should start your own recipe thread as you have plenty of good ones that I'm sure everyone would like.

Everybody is dirrferent so you have to go with what's right for you. Those couple of pounds will be off in no time x

Fantastic MissHapp. Bet you are well pleased. Glad the 'diet' is working so well for you. x

Lucky you. I would have given in and just gone straight to conso. x

It would have been rude not to especially in her emotional state. It wouldn't have been good for her to have the whole bottle. Men!!!! x

Thank you. You're nearly there that must be the greatest feeling. x

Yip that would be good. Not looking forward to going in! x

Thanks Beth will need to go to Asda now x

Hope your scales start working again. I had to go and get new ones as the old ones were weighing me in at 2.2lbs heavier. Still use them both though why I don't know. Fingers crossed for your weigh in. x

Thanks Jo. x Managed to swim 25 breaths which is not to bad seeing it's been a while since any exercise has been partaken. Even managed a walk between the heavy downpours. Think an early (no change there) night is in order.

Hi Beth, where do you get your turkey sausages from? x

Go Jan go Jan. :party0049::party0049:

1st proper week on dukan including 4 days on attack 4.4lbs lighter. Happy days. Knew it wouldn't come off as quick as the first time but have much less to loose. 14.8lbs to go. Need to start doing some (dreaded) exercise so off swimming this morning. My son has swimming lessons on a Friday...

Hope your headache has gone now. x

Don't think I could have a curry for breakfast but have been known back in the day to have a morning after the night before donner kebab!

THey were nice and spicy but did fall apart. Maybe trial and error to get them right but very tasty. There again anything with butternut squash in it tastes good. x

Brill thank you so much. Sounds fantastic. x

Hi Becky How do you make the salt and pepper chicken that's one of my favourites when I could have takeaways. Is it on the recipe section? I am always on the look out for new things to make. x Ps your weight loss is great. You are doing so well

Now if I had said you had looked different then that would be another matter!

It was the alternate day diet. On up days you could basically eat what you like then on down days you had to stick to 500 cals. There is a forum on here where you can read all about it. Sadly it didn't work for me but I know Dukan does as had lost just over a stone and a half in 12 weeks. The...

We have had words about this today or was it yesterday I can't remember. You look lovely in your dress. You need to try it on when you are all made up, hair done and shoes on mrs. Then you will look and feel a princess in it. x

It's on the recipe thread. Not sure if i have made them right as they look as though they will fall apart. In the fridge chilling so hopefully that will help.

Weather in Glasgow was it's usual pants today. The only difference to the rain was the wind though was not as bad as some places in the country! Getting back into cooking again. Don't know why people say this is an unhealthy diet when you make most things from scratch. Made the chicken and...

Hi Mrs Ironman. Good luck with your journey. It gets easier and your sore head will disappear. Make sure you drink plenty of water and you will be fine. I only started a diary last week as well as can do with some support myself. x

Too be honest so would I. Your a braver woman than me for giving it a try! I asked Daniel how the fish tasting went at nursery and his reply was yuckkkkkkkkkkk. Must take after his mum. Made the turkey mince and green chilli was v yummy. x

I prefer weighting at the end of the week as if I do stick some carby thing in my mouth over the weekend by mistake it should be gone by the next weight in. That's the theory behind it. Think I'll weigh Friday this week as it will be after a pp.

About 16lbs so not that much more than you. Dr d said I should reach tw by end of November so here's hoping x

Yes I have. It's really nice and tasty. Will have to go and get a lemon now as had forgotten about that.

My usual breakfast during the working week is dukan bread and chicken liver and mushroom pate. I was just wondering what everyone else have? One thing I don't like is porridge so I get my oat bran through the bread or muffins. Don't know if anyone else has asked this question so apologies if...

Made this for my dinner tonight. Yummy. Had with butternut squash. Thanks for posting.

That's great. It's so much better seeing the weight coming off rather that up and down and not moving at all. x

Thank Jo, JUDDD just wasn't for me although can see me using it for maintaining weight. They say you need to give it four weeks for it to start working if you have come off another type of diet. I just coolant take to not loosing the way you do with Dukan. Think I would have to be on it forever...

Finished attack 3.4lbs lighter in 4 days. So happy.

Thanks Trudy you have done extremely well - that is an amazing loss of weight in such a short space of time. x Finished attack now still nearly 3 1/2lbs lighter. PV today. Looking forward to some butternut squash tonight. This is something I would have never tried before this diet even though I...

I will keep popping in to read your diaries and see how you are all getting on. Hopefully I will be back soon x

Hi Jo, I don't even have the excuse of just coming off Dukan as hadn't been on it for about 5 weeks before starting JUDDD having been on holiday and off it completely. I can see this working as maintaining my weight rather than loosing weight. So disappointed though. On the upside I have lost...

Thanks MissHapp. I know I should have kept going a bit longer but I was getting so disheartened not to see any loss at such I would have ended up putting all the weight I had lost on Dukan and probably more. It's taken me a long time to recognise the pattern and that was the way I was going...

That we will be without a doubt x

Jan, Jan, Jan I'm so happppy. The weight is coming off again. I'm going to ignore the doubters of the diet. I'm loosing weight and that's what matters to me :D

Will look forward to it xxxxx

Thank you ladies for all your support and encouragement of the last few weeks. Unfortunately I am not one of the lucky ones that JUDDD works for. Weight went up 3lbs down 3lbs and when I decided the other day that it wasn't for me I was heavier than when I started. Gutted is not the word. I have...

Jan, are you all sorted now? x

Thanks Laura. Gutted it didn't work but this does. How are you getting on? x

Hi I fell off the Dukan wagon at the beginning of August having been away on holiday and found it difficult to get back on track. Decided to give JUDDD a go as it felt like a good way of loosing weight and still eat what I wanted 50% of the time. Sadly it wasn't for me put on 3 lbs lost 3 lbs...

This morning up 2lbs to 11st13.8 which is not bad after two up days. DD today which will be hard as not planning going anywhere today. Got a pot of soup on the go so will be using that to try and stop the hunger.

It's taken me just over two weeks for my weight to get back to where I started. I put on 2.6 lbs which is not a lot in the grand scheme of things but it did put me back over 12 stones which I the max weight I have now allowed myself to be! Did think I was going to have to give in and give up...

Pauline I weighted in this morning at 11st11.8 so happy to be back to where I started. That was after one or 10 white wines along with a lethal cocktail. To top off last night stopped on the way home for a Chinese. All in all yesterday was a good up day. So glad that this is starting to work...

After a double DD as I am out tonight weight is the same. Boo. Thought I might have actually got under my start weight today. Never mind it's an up up and away day today in more ways than one. Very windy in Glagow today.

I am on second DD as going out tomorrow night and as the scales are now just starting to move in the right direction dont want to spoil things. Will be good to see if it works. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Think starting to get there. Now less than a pound to go to get back to where I was two weeks ago

Weight after Mondays DD was 11st 12.4 so at least something is starting to come off. Today Sts after yesterday's UP day. Maybe just maybe ADF is starting to work for me.

Well the scales did move this morning upwards :cry: up to 12st 0.2. So that over 2 1/2lbs on since starting. Will give myself another week.

Weight this morning 11st 12.6. Are these scales ever going to move? If they weren't new I would be thinking they were broken. Decided on another UP day today yeah. Why is it though on an UP day I'm not that hungry but on a DD I'm starving all the time. All in my mind I know.

Decisions decisions. To UP or DD not sure yet. Have been doing alternate days so far to see if the weight comes off quicker (which it hasn't). Away to pop on the scales and see what the outcome of yesterday's UP day.

I'm just easily distracted :)

Thanks ladies for your replies. Didn't really want to go back to counting calories so will go with the flow and see what happens.

Thanks Pauline x Ps: your weight loss is great - well gel

Getting a bit confuselled! Should I be counting my calories on an UP day or just eat what I want? I have been looking at the posts and the diaries and everyone seems to view UP days differently. Any answers much appreciated.

After yesterday's DD weighted in again at 11st 12.6 STS. Arghhhhhhh. Never mind UP UP and away day today.

Well done you. Enjoy your birthday and Paris x

Weighted in this morning at 11st 12.6 so today is the first day that the scales are going the right way after an up day. Have been logging my cals on MFP and I didn't realise how many cals I have been consuming. Estimating is no good. Today I have made a pot of lentil and carrot soup to keep me...

Good luck. One DD is bad enough!

Thanks Jilly. So happy that I can eat what I want today. Night time is the hardest for me. Anyway stepped on the scales this morning and again was 11st 11.8. Will see what tomorrow brings.

As my weight after an UP day seems to be STS and after a DD is up I thought it might be easier to track by starting a diary to see where I am at. I know it's easier to step away from the scales for the first couple of weeks and then weight weekly thereafter. I am however someone who needs to be...

Hi MissHapp after all your good advice last night found your diary. Really enjoyed reading it as I so far seem to be mirroring your weight loss. If I loose what you have so far I will be very happy. Look forward to hearing more from you.

Thank you ladies for all you advice and encouragement. I found the measuring tape and will try not to weight every day. Will give it another few weeks and see how I go. Thanks again :)

Thanks MissHapp, I read through the posts and I didn't see anyone mention the weight gains like me. I thought I was doing ADF completely wrong. Your great reply has put my mind at rest. I will need to try and resist the scales as hard at it will be and find the measuring tape. I will give it...

Will have to find the tape measure first. That's a good idea. Hopefully it will have come off somewhere.

It's the adjusting that's worrying me as I don't want the scales to keep going up as it's been a long time since I've been at my current weight. Probably worrying unnecessarily but then I worry if I have nothing to worry about!

Think I will have to do that. For example on Saturday I had two pieces of brown bread and peanut butter. Lunch pannini with tuna mayonnaise and dinner was crispy prawns in Peking sauce and fried rice couldn't manage it all and a glass of wine and a chocolate eclair to finish which I didn't think...

Hi, I have been JUDDDing for a week and a half. I am a weight every day addict. If I don't weigh ever day I just forget when to stop eating. Anyway I lost 1 1/2 stones on Dukan over 4 months went on holiday put on 5 lbs and just couldn't get back into the Dukan way. I watched the Horizon...

Hi Amy, I gave blood a few weeks back and I didnt have any problems at all. Eve

Thanks for replying. I put it in the fridge. Good to know how long it lasts - don't think there will be any left by day 5 .............

Made this today. Yum yum yum. Had it on some Dukan bread. Really really good. So good in fact could eat the whole lot. Do you know how long it keeps refrigerated or can it be frozen ( so I don't eat it all!). Thank you for sharing this one shall be making again.

I don't normally post but I just have to say that this is the best diet ever. I have lost another 1.2 lbs this week which takes me just over loosing 1 1/2 stones in 10 weeks. I have never lost so much weight in such a short space of time. Delighted I am. It sure keeps the motivation going. A big...

I was just about to post ask the same about Chinese. It's next weekend I am off out with friends. All the things I normally have are usually coated.

Yippee

These are AMAAAAZING. So so good. Even if I wasn't on Dukan I would still like them. Thank you Jan. Looking forward to sampling whatever you come up with next.

Thank you for your wonderful receipes. I love your chilli. Its the best chilli I have ever had. I keep telling everyone one about it. I am working my way through them all.

Jan kindly made it for me. I had it at lunchtime. Diet what diet!!! It was as good as the real thing. Thank u v much Jan x

I have just made these. What can I say but delicious. Best muffin I have tasted so far. I did the toffee ones but left out the milk powder and only used three eggs. Looking forward to eating them all up over the next couple of days. Thank you for the receipe.
