;). i work more Pauline, mainly in the night!!!! :(, now thats a nightmare!

You are welcome to it. Are you on conso China? i will post the recipe for the cauliflower gratin to the recipe book later when i have made it and i have a photo. :)

Dukan Ranger ready! :) I have started this morning and am on conso phase so therefore lucky me I have the joys of vegetables, fruit, bread and cheese! :) i know i will lose slowly but need the food for baby's milk so as long as i dont gain anymore for the time being thats acceptable! Here is...

8weeks since baby and sad to announce the damage. I weighed myself to a scary 253lbs!! :( what to do with that! I tried my size 14 jeans and they just go above my knees!!! Ok then back to Dukan starting Monday. I will start with conso properly. Now off to do my food plan for the week then food...

Hey Sara. I am getting a fair bit of broken sleeps. He is not too bad. He doesn't cry really but wakes up to feed every 2-3hrs. I go to bed about 10pm whilst Cornie stats downstairs and watches him til about 2am. He then comes to feed then goes back to sleep to wake up about 4or 5am. Feeds again...

Ha ha ha! Caro I don't think it's advisable for me to start exercise challenges yet, my ceaserean incision has not closed up properly yet! I don't want to end up with my bowels on the carpet! I wouldn't mind it's only I have a cream carpet and it will be very difficult to clean!!! ;) Worry you...

Thanks mi dear. I hope to start soon. At the mo everything is hectic and I rarely see where my day goes. Aiden sleeps and wakes up whenever he pleases, as newborns do I suppose, so I have no routine or time to do anything other than tend to him, shower,eat and catch up with lost sleep!!

Yeay I have a partner!! Thanks Caro. I have to start as soon as possible because I am keen to go back to my prepreg weight by end of April. I have a wedding to go to in Zimbabwe. The cookbook will be coming to life, I saw a lot of bumps!

Thanks P. I think I will go for it and adjust as I go along.

Thank you muchly mi ladies. So who are going to be my Dukan partners? I am keen to get back as soon as possible. Not today of course but I am thinking of starting 1 October. I found a breast feeding version someone used and I think I would follow that until end of December. Then from January...

Aiden Tinashe made an appearance via the sun roof on Wednesday night! Home now and we are all well.

5weeks to go yaaayy!!! The heat is killing me! Cant wait now. Nursery done, hospital bags packed, baby clothes washed, ironed and packed!

Yes Kev might be on his way to postmanship, but what exactly has been happening on this thread? :D are we still dukaneering? Seems to have drifted to shagland! Or is it just my baby brains imagining things? ;)

Heeellllooooooo!!!!!! Still alive and getting fatter! 13 weeks to go!

I had a scan yesterday and baby is another boy! The only person over the moon is Bradley. 'Yeeees it's going to be a brother, I am going to be a big brother!!!' Cornie and I were like 'well as long as its a healthy baby with both arms and legs!' We were secretly hoping for a girl!

Helllloooooooo!!! Bump and me are doing fine. Nearly halfway at 18 weeks. I was hoping for some joy by now but not being luck at all. Still feel very tired and nauseous. Keeping up my walks and the fit backs and bumps class. Gained a total of 18lbs now, and eating whatever I like really, not...

Thanks Beth. You can have chips and cheese! Hehehehehe

I quite like being called Bread Roll Becks! :D having said that I did not like any bread that evening, baby did! :)

How can do this to me I will be 2 weeks away from giving birth! :( I am sure you won't want the respo if I came anyway! :D

And I did fall in love with you! :D Kkkkkk, I did go for the bread, somebody had to we were paying! :)

Can't find any near me! Just finished my 15 mins walk! :D. Bump class in the evening. :)

Ease on the bread! ;)

Thanks Sara. I have saved them as digital images as well. I am starting to feel better now and I went for my first bump class today. Easy moves but got tired afterwards! :)

Thanks DNF. :)

Now that I am in the second trimester I shall start introducing gentle exercise. I will start with just 15 mins walks this week then up to 30 next week. I have done any exercise for more than 3 months so I am scared of going for it! So tomorrow the exercise starts. Not changing food at the...

Ok back to the wagon and eating all the wrong foods!:). So I had the scan on Monday and I am sure I have ballooned over the last week! I have gained 8lbs since Christmas. Bearing in mind I had gained over the Christmas period. I am 13lbs over TW! Ouch!

Thanks Sara. It was lovely to meet all the girls as well. I shall be starting the pregnancy journey on here soon to make it easy to follow! :)

No chance with you around!!! ;)

Thanks Sid.

It was lovely to see you too and everyone else. Really enjoyed myself. This should be repeated soon and this time we should all stay together. After baby so I can fill my wine glass!

It has happened!

These sort of issues usually take about 9 months or so! :D. Over 12 weeks now and growing fast! As you can see TW is out the window and you will be meeting a fattie on Saturday! :)

Hello, lovely! Where are you, I am in Wigston? We could have our own meet here! :D

I am well my dears, worry yea not. And I will still be with you in Birmingham :). Cornie's best friend lives in Birmingham so I told him we are visiting month end. I won't stay at the hotel he will chauffeur! All going to plan I will be back here full time in two weeks time. :)

I love you all and as such I think it's fair that I let you know that due to some personal issues I shall go AWOL for a little bit! Don't worry I will be back! xx

Neo, you're on! x

I am not saying anything Tamar, my colour had just changed to green!! You are looking lovely my dear. xx

Thanks Sarah, the TW was very short lived by the way! Gained 7lbs over the holidays! Hopefully it will be off soon. x

Lol I hadn't noticed the funny bit!! We might turn to that actually by day 30 :D

Here, here and shredding! Laura how are you on level 2 already????

Good evening CPL, Becky's ghost speaking!! ;) :D

No excuse! :D Excused! :D

I have no probs with that! :) it's only a month so I shall try my hardest not to cheat on food as well!

Ok we are on! 30 days straight or we have breaks?

Yes, up for Shred! Is it a deal then? I am going to do 30mins treadmill on top, that way I will have an hour's workout.

I didn't know there was a new one! What it's called? Yes let's go for it!

Hehehehe it's getting exciting! :D

Yeeeessssss!!!!:)

Brilliant Lady P, well done. x

Lol. Taken. :D

On the bus with you P! ;)

Thanks Ellie. I hope I get back to TW soon. I am thinking if I go onto conso I should lose some weight considering the bingeing of the past 2 weeks!!! If I dont lose in the first week then I will consider cruise in the form of PVs! :)

Thank you my lovelies. So i have weighed today to see the damage and its 7lbs on (6.8 if I am being precise!:D) Quite pleased its 1/2 rather than a full stone. I have decided to stay in modified conso rather than go to full cruise. I will do all PV days and have 1 celebration meal per week...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss!!! Fantastico, I knew you would do it. Very well done Tamar. xx

Go, go Tamar! This girl is on fire!!! x

Goodness Tamar, why aren't you eating like the rest of mankind?!!!:D. Jokes, really pleased for you. Are you targeting 10.7 as well?

Thanks Jojo busy going over it at the moment. :D

Feel the same about keeping an eye, because when you know even without trying you sort off ease off a bit and limit the gains! :)

Not too bad at all, hoping I don't go over that as well and will start restarting normality Wednesday morning too. :)

You are beating me P, need to do something quick!! :D. So when is Dukan starting to have influence in your eating? Are we together in carrying on till after new year? :D

Oh yes, definitely enjoying myself, all barriers dropped! Cheers Zoe!! :D Hello Laura, still following you and your lovely Zoe and laughing my head off along the way! You are not doing badly at enjoying yourself either! Only difference is I am not attempting Dukan at all! :D Thanks Lady P...

Thank you my lovelies. You might want to hold them as the scales revealed a 3lb gain :D not updating my stats as I think the festive gains don't count!! I am entertaining new year so will defo add to the gain. Hope I won't go beyond 7lbs gain. Will strict it from the 7th of Jan and hopefully...

Not yet Laura, haven't finished yet!! Try Next week Monday I mean the 7th! :D. By then I will need to join you big time. :D

Goodness, now I know why people think conso is difficult! I am suddenly faced with all this food and thinking what do I do with it? :D

Hey Tamar, I just managed to reach TW just in time!! I am going to conso til the 6th of Jan then cruise again to see if I can reach 10.7. Quick question, are you having the cheese everyday or rather is it a must? Thanks. x

Thanks Sid. I should have entitled my diary 'in the next 6months!..........' Proved the weight can be lost, hope I can prove it can be consolidated!! :D

Thanks Trudy. I didn't have enough space in the house today! :) x

Thanks Pauline, I do feel like a star today! x

So am I! :) I have also noticed that my loss is now 30%! Yipeeee :wee:And that BMI is ever so edging towards the 25's!:)

And its been accomplished :). -1/2lb under TW this morning. I didn't post yesterday as I was 1/2 lb short of TW so I went on the treadmill for an hour, PPed with asparagus and prayed!! :D Rewarded with a 1lb loss this morning :). So it's here, and I am ecstatic even thoudh I know it will be gone...

Madness! ;) x

Ahh yes 2012: I got promoted to the manager job My boy started school I lost just over 4.5st in weight I met Sarah, mi (pronounced mee! :D) lady (thought I better get in there before she comes and do a Zoe! :D) I bought a treadmill I bought size 12 tops from River Island! :D I met them 2 up...

Didn't touch any Pauline, instead I got my Oatbran bar!!! I took them to where they were supposed to go and left them there!!!! :D

I make these But eat these :( in order to take the 'I want chocolate' edge off!!! 4 more lbs and this could be my gala meal desert!! :)

I think I will be going for another loss as well. The target weight I was set is 11st4 which is bmi 26+. I would ideally want to be 10st so I will consolidate for a while after reaching the 11.4 then go on the weightloss journey again to lose the remaining 18lbs! :)

And the shredding begins!!! Rise of the wonderwoman! :D

Woop Woop missus, you are on a roll! :) well done Pauline. x

I am on the Dukan diet and you get a consolidating stage after reaching target so will just move onto that. The stage is meant to help reintroduce all the other foods slowly and systematically whilst your body gets used to maintaining the new weight! Hope it will work, it works for fellow...

Thanks, can't wait to get to target and move to the next stage!! :) You have done really well yourself, you look like 2 different people in those pics, you must be really proud because its not an easy journey!!

Top not too bad, the 12s are loose, the hips are a nightmare comfy 14!! Sometimes 16s! Hoping for at most comfy 12 on the bottom.

I know but my end of bmi is 10st10 so I will still be overweight at true weight!!!! Firstly I would prefer to be in the normal range and secondly I so want that size 10!! Give me those 2 and I will rest!!! :D

I accept! :D

lol Sarah, just been to Tesco, bought another 3, 125g packs of asparagus tips!! :D Will have them at least once on all the PVs til TW! :D

No I wont be, I want 10st but Dr D set me 11st4. I thought if I achieved what he set me, then I can always see if I want to lose more! I think I want to lose a little bit more and hope the excitement of achieving my true TW might give me motivation to lose that little bit more. If I reach TW...

Yep! My thoughts exactly when I read about the diet but desperation...............:)

Didn't eat it Pauline, I made soup with the celery and the tomato, whacked lots of herbs and chilli and blitzed it. Surprisingly it was very nice and has become a hit with Cornie, making some tomorrow actually as he has asked for it! You don't get the celery taste in the soup! :)

Yeeeeaaaaa haaaaa!!!:D yeeeees that what I am talking about. Fantastico Lady P. well done. xx

You have done well so far, I think the last few lbs are very slippery. Just stay focused and we wil get there, maybe your body is waiting for me!:D

Thanks Trudy. Lol. After that diet anything is welcome, you will stop complaining that Dukan is restrictive, at least you can eat whenever you feel hungry. Can you imagine a glass of orange juice and yogurt for lunch or a dinner of boiled celery, a tomato and apple!!! I made mine into soup...

You were hungry today! :D those legs weren't quarters were they?

Thanks Tamar! WI tomorrow so far -1.5 so annoyed I won't get into the 11s unless a miracle happens overnight! You will be there before me, or shall we reach TW together then decide together whether we conso or go lower!:)

Treadmill has arrived so definitely going on to it this evening!! Settled back into Dukan and glad did not suffer the flu this time, I suppose its actually an up in calories. I have lost 1.5lbs so far this week and crossing my fingers I lose another 1 to get into the 11s. Not too hopeful as it...

Bingo on my way to Sainsbury's! :D thanks Debs.

Can't stomach skimmed milk, always used semi from the word go! If dairy should be under 2% then semi is fine for me, it is dairy isn't it? But then before anyone bites my head off, that's ME, and I am not encouraging anyone to follow suit! Just saying semi never hurt me! :D

Heard they were stopping it so when I went to Tesco yesterday, I took the whole box that was in the fridge!! :D expiry date is 1dec so I am fine!! :)

I would go with the second option on here but knowing me I would probably be eating the pesto one!! :D;)

Debs the burgers are fine, burgers should be less than 10% fat which those are. The stats looks very good, would live to know which ones they are I would get some.

Thanks CB, glad you love the recipes. I haven't posted the chocolate one but I will do one and post just for you! :D

Lol, glad to be back. This is so much easier, it feels more like home and proper eating! Carrot for breakfast! Ha!!

Thanks Trudy! I wasn't sure about buying yet as I am sure I might go down another size but Cornie kept saying you need something your clothes are looking ridiculous!! Cheeky, might be looking for a shovel to bash his head!!:D

Thanks Tamar, fast catching up with you! x

Thanks P, it just hit me recently that I have list quite a lot!! Well chuffed I must say.

Thank you mi lady. Now I love this post, its a shame I can't put more than 1 like!!!;)

You should not eat Philly in attack as it is tolerated, only from cruise onwards. Even then only 40g is a tolerated portion. I eat it all the time and I have no probs with it. Having said that different people reaping differently so it's really about what works for you. :)

Wowser, check you out, loving the middle one, looking hootttt!!!!!!! x

Thanks DNSF. x

Will defo conso the weight but not sure if I will stick at 11.4 Would want to go lower so will decide which way when I reach TW. Depending on when I reach TW, I might conso then cruise again in the new year. And I have decided Dukan tomorrow, not sure I fancy a carrot for breakfast, would...

No probs. :)

Thanks Laura. Not yet, the 13day finishes on Tuesday but to be honest I am fed up now, I am tempted to revert back tomorrow!! :D

Hi Debs, welcome! Cream cheese (tolerated) should be under 7%fat and portion is 40g. Dairy should generally be under 2% fat. I dont think there is a rule to % of carbs/sugars but foods should not have any added sugar!! I personally strive for less than 10% carbs in the no added sugar foods. 30g...

I started with a 2 as well but today I was buying 12's, I nearly cried!! Stick with it and very soon you too will do the same, its only been about 5 months. xx

Excited.com went shopping and bought a few tops in River Island and they are all size 12! A dress from Planet size 14.

Good girl, watching you with hawk eyes P, no pressure but I am going to be your sensei!!!:D

Will give it a go. Maybe put it into my root mash.

Goodness me, are you sure it's a veggie, it looks like some monster from the bottom of the ocean! :D. What does it taste like? And texture when cooked??

You're right Sid, you need 50 posts to post an avatar. So get posting Hopefully (they will let you post one!! :D)

I have to try this celeraic, I have never seen it!

Or you could make DD's friends some cake! :D. No feedback yet as I missed her mother at collection time. She left a thank you card and some chocolates though, which Bradley had finished by the time I got him from aftercare!!! Well, they were only 3 truffles in a posh heart box! xx Hi Beth...

The good thing is the cake was so level, I didn't have to shave anything off! Once iced I couldn't cut a piece but it was tempting! :D 2 more days to Dukan, it might be tomorrow if I don't lose anything in the morning!! ;)

I know but i am so focused on this 13 day diet and it says any lapse even a candy and the effectiveness of the diet stops!! Of course I don't believe it but I am not testing fate, I have gone too far with it to jeopardise the whole thing! :D. I bake for the boys all the time and for some reason...

How good am I though, I had a tissue to wipe my fingers if they got chocolate, didn't lick a finger or pop a single Malteser into my mouth!! :D my heart was bleeding though! :D

Kikiki I know that path! ;)

Thursday after picking Brad from school, he said to me, 'we have to make a cake for daisy (his classmate) and her family!' I asked why?' He said 'because I promised her and you told me that if I make a promise I can't break it so we have to make it!' So we had to go to asda to buy baking stuff...

Laura, the question is how did I carry on with Shred? Because I did! :D. Focus, that's what Brad will tell you! I really want to get to true weight so at the moment I am doing it like my life depends on it! It is tough, that I can assure you! The first 3 days I suffered as you would on attack...

Weight stats done, I update inches at my next mini goal date.

Thanks D, I was starting to get scared at 1lb everyday for week but that's what you lose on attack, so I carried on!! I will finish it off now then get back to my normal Dukan meals.

Thank you my lovely lady, you are my strength!! :D

Yep, Brad will just go 'thats ironman!' before you finish saying 'there you go'. :D

Hey Tamar, only 6lbs to go. Well done young lady! I am fast catching up though 12lbs to go for me. :D

I hate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for leaving me! I love love Nicki Minaj. Of course I love her I can relate to that behind! :D

Just not repprted but still going strong! Day 10 Level 2 Shred tomorrow. Then off for the home stretch!!!! xx

lol, I have lost 1/2 a stone in a week thats bound to have had an effect!! I am really pleased with my progress. 12lbs to TW! :party0049:

Fret yea not I am here and bring glad tidings! -7.5lb woop woop. :D:party0049: 2 more pounds and I am in the 11's. Ok so here is the story. After losing my mojo, I decided to take a break from the diet for a couple of weeks. After much deliberations with myself I decided to find something to do...

I did this for my sister who is doing the diet but has no book! :) You might find it as a useful start to tolerateds, you will obviously learn more as you cruise along! Tolerated Foods You need to remember that you are in control of your weight loss, the more foods / extra's you add, the...

You may find this link useful, it has the allowed foods. http://www.minimins.com/dukan-diet/254782-list-dukan-safe-foods-new-people.html

Well done Chocolina (I insist on putting the L it reminds me of chocolate! :D). Now the diet begins, more choice. Yes you can eat as much veggie (from the allowed list!) as you want, within reason ie until you feel full. I think carrots and beetroot are limited to 1 meal a day, so as much as...

So cooking this soon, sounds yummy!!

Morning my dear, how are you feeling today! Sitting here stealing recipes off the Facebook page and utube!!!! :D

Got them all off the website. Looks bril thanks. Could do with some soups for lunch in this weather. xx

Thanks Sid, I will check it out. x

Thanks lady P, the forum is great and mojo is coming back slowly. xx

I don't like celery but heard good things about it so i made a celery and tomato soup yesterday and it was lovely! Recipe on the cookbook. It was quite spicy you may want to reduce the chilli powder if you are faint hearted!!! :D

Kikikiki love the name, chicken a la beckstar!! :D I am famous, something is named after me and obviously it had to be food! :D. So tweaking the dish, looks lovely but add red peppers instead for some contrast in colour!! Might add it to the cookbook just to humor myself with the name. :). Now...

lol, dozy! :D;)

Thanks Trudy, I can feel a little awakening now! :) I promise to send back with interest when you need some. :D
