Hi, welcome! My diet is awful, was awful, but I have no excuse other than I love food!! You say rejoin, so I take it youve done exante before? How did you get on then? I did lipotrim this time last year then stopped and started exante to get back on track but couldnt get motivated, Im...

Day 2 Something that made me happy - Chocolate muffins, yum-my Something positv

I am thinking about buying some of these to mix in with the meals and soups in a bid to trick my stomach into feeling like Ive eaten something. Ive read a report that one you get passed the rubber texture theyre actually quite good for filling you up, they have 8 calories per 200grms and no fat...

Thanks for the welcome lovely ladies and Good morning all. I'm starving this morning and I really struggled to sleep last night because I was so hungry, but I weighed myself this morning and I'm already down by 4 lb!! OK, so I know its water weight but if makes me feel good, its motivation...

What are peoples opinions of the spag bol/chilli/carbonara/shepards pie/curry/risotto/turkey dinner. I know peoples tastes are different but I'm thinking of buying a pick you own pack whilst they are reduced but I want to know if these are worth considering. At the moment I like all the...

Day 1 - 13st 7lbs What made me happy today - Getting through day 1 without falling off the wagon :party0049: Something positive about myself - My positive mental attitude at the moment I have some Exante left over from when I tried it last year so I am using that up before I buy any more and I...

I feel I'm a bit of a diet guru, I've done them all with varying success, but eventually I always end up back at square one. The last diet I did was Lipotrim where I got down to 11st, I'd lost 17lbs in 4 weeks but I gave up because I'd had enough of shakes. Since then I have put all that...

I started Exante TS on Wednesday, I've lost 6lbs since then, and I was going great guns until this afternoon when I folded and ate :( I started to go lighted headed and dizzy on the way home from work, so much so I had to stop and sit down for a few minutes. In hind sight its probably due to...

Thanks for your help peeps. I had the tomato today, I made it by using 450ml of water in a pan and heating it on the hob whilst mixing the powder in gradually with a whisk. I added salt, pepper and fajita spice (Schwartz now do this in a spice jar) to give it a kick. It was 100% better...

Thanks determinationisthekey, I did blend it buts its gloopy and its that consistency that puts me off, might try more water.

Hi guys, I am on day 1, the bars seem fine and I'm having a shake for dinner tonight and I'm hoping they're similar to lipotrim shakes so should be fine. However, I struggled with the soup today as I find the consistency of the soup disgusting. I had the mushroom soup today and the flavour...

Hi everyone, My story is familiar with a lot of peoples in that I have tried many, many diets and initially do well, but end up piling the weight back on. I had the most success with the Dukan Diet where I lost 17lbs, but a year later I had put all my weight back on, and at the beginning of...

Hi guys, Had my first weigh in today and after 5 full days (started Sunday but had to get weighed today) following LT 100% I've lost 6lbs, yay!! I have however realised that I've been putting too much water in my shakes, I've been following instructions for the mens shakes, doh!! That said I...

Ive been going great guns up until now and have followed LT 100%, but Im worried about my first weigh in. I will only be on day 6 when I have my first weigh in, but Ive started my period (sorry if tmi) today and I can put on anywhere between 3-5lbs on before and during the start but lose it...

Thanks for your replies, Ive read that LT can make you have headache and cold symptoms, which I havent had, its feeling faint thats getting to me. Im gonna push on with it, just worried about work tomoz as my job can involve driving long distances. Ive probably not drunk enough today, only had...

Hi everyone, I started LT on sunday so on day 3 at the moment. The hunger is bearable but I feel sick n faint today and I'm struggling because I feel ill, not because Im hungry. Im not planning to give up but Im worried that if this feeling doesnt pass soon Ill give up. Did anyone else...

It's probably water retention, I find if I cheat and put on a few pounds then get back on to it and drink lots of water the weight comes off again after 2 or 3 days?? Just a thought

Whoop, 4lbs off this week, 1lb more and I'll be half way to my goal weight :party0019: I'm so chuffed with myself and loving all the comments I'm getting from those that havent seen me for a few weeks.

The week off has done me the world of good to be honest and I dont feel so bad now I know the good Dr allows it. I'm back on track and its really kick started my weight loss again. Sazzle x

Hi all, I had a week off the diet last week, I was sick of chicken, cottage cheese, eggs and yogurt and I was really grumpy with it too. I still ate carefully, no bread or cheese, plently of water, but I had some very small portions of carbs, I felt I needed a week to re-set. I was pleasantly...

Hellium balloons with weights, you can co-ordinate them with your colour scheme White pot vases with marker pens so everyone can write a message on it for you, or you can just get a big one and leave it at the door, this is instead of a book candles cant think of anything else??

You've done really well Ellie, I bet you look amazing, congratulations on getting to target

I was wondering if anyone else looks back at points in their life and remembers the last time they were they weight they are now?? After promising myself I would weigh in weekly (fridays weigh day) I got up this morning I couldnt resist and I've already dropped 2lbs this week. Last time I was...

Ooooh, I love peppers, never thought of using them, thanx

Hi, I made these for my tea today and they are lush. Sorry if this recipe is already on this thread 1 can tuna drained mixed herbs 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (alter for individual preferance) 1/2 tub cottage cheese (again depends on preferance, I found this to be enough) season with black...

These are delicious, although I may try them with a little less ginger next time as a little to gingery for me!!

I put them on a hard floor in the bathroom. Think I will have a look and buy some new ones!!

I'm wondering what scales you guys use to weigh yourself. I'm getting more and more frustrated with mine and I'm close to throwing them out completely!! I bought a weight watchers set a couple of years ago and when I weigh myself my weight can vary by 2lbs depending on how I satnd on them:eek...

Having come back from a 10 day holiday, I've really struggled to get back in the Dukan swing of things. I've been cheating a bit and half way through this week I'd put 3lbs back on :flamingmad:, I think alot of which is water retention. I gave my head a bit of a shake and the last three days...

Hi peeps, I'm back after spending 10 lovely days with the family down south. During that time I've tried to stick to dukan as much as possible but at family meal times it was dificult and I did eat some carbs, but limited myself as much as possible. I've got back and weighed myself today and...

I have splashed out and bought Zumba 2 for the wii, and this morning I did my first 40 minute programme. All I can say is OMG, if you have a wii you should get this. I bought it as a back up for when I cant be bothered to drag my sorry (slightly smaller now) behind to the gym!! 40 mins, I...

A massive thanks to all those people who gave me advice and support mid week when I was having a wobble about gaining 3/4lb. Seriously, if I probably would have quit by now if not for this forum. Today is weigh in day and I couldnt believe the scales this morning, I've manged to lose 2 1/2lb...

Thanks for your help and support guys, and sorry about the two day wobble. I'm trying to stay positive, and we'll see what happens on Monday weigh in, I'm not gonna weigh myself again until then. I had a galette and yoghurt for breakfast, im having fresh salmon and salad for lunch with roast...

I'm confused?? As you know I've gained weight the past two days, and not happy about it so I've been checking posts to try and find out what I'm doing wrong. I always put wheatbran with oatbran in my morning galette or muffins, do you think this could be a reaon for my gain?? I've read a...

I'm seriously in danger of throwing in the towel, I weighed myself again this morning and I've gained another 1/4lb, arrrgggghhhh!!!!:banghead: If I don't eat enough could I regain weight, because I know I've not cheated at all?? The other thing is that my wee (sorry!!) was really yellow this...

I weigh myself daily, first thing on a morning after a toilet visit, I just can believe I've gone back up the scales!! Sorry for moaning guys, I'll be fine again tomoz I'm sure, just having a rough day n feeling rubbish n sorry for myself!!:needhug:

Hi guys, I'm having a real down day today. :cry: I weighed myself this morning and I've actually gained 1/2lb, so now I'm having a fat day. I dont know how I've managed to gain, but I've just come off nights so it might be something to do with that. I've slogged myself at the gym this...

Hi Madison, I stopped smoking 35 days ago, and 3 weeks ago I threw myself into Dukan and so far I've lost 7 1/2 lb. I think it depends on your smoking habit, how many you smoke, what your triggers are etc. I never smoked alot anyway, I could go 16 hours at work quite happily without a...

Pre dukan I used to go every day, without fail, now I go three to four days!! I think its normal with this diet!!

I try and do an hour every other day. Luckily my job makes me very active, but I want to do weights to tone, which requires the gym!! (or me spending money buying my own weights and when I have a gym membership whats the point!!) The problem I find with exercise is I enjoy it when I do it, but...

OK, so I saw our new niece and she's scrumptious diddlyumptious, it was well worth the 500 mile round trip, was tired by bed time though. I had all my dukan goodies to hand for the journey, including some morrisons chicken which I purchased as a last minute extra on the way out of town...

I have decided to award myself a mini treat at all my 7lb goals, with a massive treat once I reach my target (think that will end up being a holiday to show off my new bikini bod, lol!!) If all stays as it is I will be due my first treat this week, so I'm thinking possibly a facial or head...

I had 7 sweets one after the other and I was in all sorts of trouble, the woosh fairy is an understatement, I was in pain too!! Lesson learnt I say. I now limit myself to 1 at a time, 3 to 4 times a day depending on my cravings. I takes the edge of the need for sweets, so works for me.

Well I had a sneaky look on the scales this morning, not due to weigh myself til monday, but I couldnt resist, and I'm 1 1/2 lb down already this week!! I did it because I felt enormous when I got up, but clearly I'm just having an off day. Its given me a boost, and better that than cheating...

Whoop whoop, 3lb off this weeks, I love this diet!! :party0049: However, I've tried to edit my signature 4 times now to update my weight loss, but it wont work?? Does anyone know if theres a problem?? S

I've been on numerous diets, failing always, but with this I find it easy to follow and to stick too as I'm never hungry. Everyone has something that suits them, and this suits me and my life style perfectly. I'm too lazy and get bored and frustrated with counting points/calories/grams etc, so...

Its easy to follow, no weighing etc, simples rules to follow and the weight drops off, what could be better!! I'll have my trim slim figure by August!!

Well, I have to say I love this diet!! Doesn't even feel like I'm on one. Another 3lb of today, thats nearly half a stone in less than 2 week, whoop whoop!! Bar a mishap with being unprepared, I havent cheated at all this week, and obviously thats showing on the scales. I'm never hungry and...

So I was kept on to work a 12 hour shift last night, should have been 8 hours but something major happened at work and they extended my shift. It was a Saturday night shift. I had chicken and cottage cheese for my lunch, which has become one of my all time favourite lazy lunches (as in takes...

Hi, Just wondering where the UK peeps buy their Rhubarb? I bought some fresh from Sainsburys but ran out today and neither sainsbury nor Tescos have either fresh or frozen. I dont want to buy tinned because of the sugar. Rhubarb n yogurt is my safety net when I want something sweet, so I...

So I've decided to write a diary. I'd never heard of the Dukan diet until I did an internet search on protein diets. My best mate was on a protein diet, but has to weight and measure everything, and I knew that I'd never stick to it if I did that, so I decided to look for an alternative and...

Hi all, Firstly, dont eat sugar free sweets. Not heeding the advice of my fellow dukaners I bought some sugar free sweets and ate 7 in the space of around 20 mins. OMG, 2 hours later I was in a hole world of pain, and the whoosh fairy wasnt taking any prisoners I can tell you, I thought I was...

So I got my gas bill today, £900 for 6 months, I nearly fell through the floor, before blaming it all on my poor other half, then crying on the phone to my mother. I was extremely angry because I do generally moan and OH and have to follow him around the house turning the lights off, so...

Welcome back, and good luck, not that you'll need it I'm sure

Fantastic loss on attack K, well done, and keep going :clap: Sarah

Hi Sammy, We have similar start weights, but I only lost 3lb in my 5 day attack, although I did have a blip on day 4 when I had only lost 2.5lb and though whats the point so binged. :break_diet: I too weighed myself this morning and have put on .75lb, and I know I havent cheated at all. That...

Thanks for your help, I've bought a bag of sugar free sweets on line, should be here by the end of the week. Definately will be trying the sugar free jelly, was always put off thinking it wouldnt taste of anything, I'll try it and see.

Hi peeps, Well after waiting for my book I found that I could buy it diretly for my kindle, so I cancelled my postal order and loaded it on to my kindle last night. Having read most of it, it all seems straight forward. :cool: I've been on a few forums, all giving varying advice about the...

Hi peeps, Just wanted to say Hi and ask about shift work I'm day 5 of 5 attack days, had a slip up last night after thinking I hadn't lost enough weight, but I've given my head a shake and I'm back on it this morning.:D I work shifts, two day shifts (7am-4pm) two late shifts (5pm-3am) and...

Thanks for your help guys. ZAKCAT, I feel like 2 stone 5 lb is a huge amount to lose, but in relation to most it probably isnt much. I put on the weight over the past two years and I'm fed up and want it gone now. I think I felt as though 2.75lbs wasnt alot because most have been losing...

I started the Dukan diet on Wednesday, weighing in at 12st 5 3/4lb. I followed the attack part of the diet to the T, and weighing myself this morning I found that I had lost 2 3/4 lbs, in four days. Not feeling as though I have done as well as most in this phase, this evening I thought whats...
