Woo hoo 81.8kgs today - another pound bites the dust..... Think I will have another PP day so I can enjoy some veggies at the weekend. Salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast Tuna steak and cottage cheese for lunch Seafood for tea - crab, smoked salmon, prawns and crabsticks Must eat my...

Back from camping and weighing in at 82.3kgs this morning (under the 13 stone mark again - yay!) Only a teeny loss but I didnt stick to plan entirely.... so am ok with that. Been and got some rhubarb, cottage cheese, ham and smoked salmon for today's PP day so I am well and truly back on track.

We are camping in Woolacombe! Not eaten much today - beetroot and crab sticks mid morning, then chicken and mushroom with prawn spring roll for tea. However .... I also had a tiny packet of onion rings and a little slice of hubbys pizza - both of which were not planned, but just needed something...

Had a good day so far today... Omelette for breakfast and carvery minus the roasties and yorshire this time, for lunch (cabbage seems to have resolved my transit issues!). Oatbran galette and flavoured yoghurt for tea. Had hypnotherapy today focussing on my weight loss and exercise goals and...

B - omelette, beetroot, L - turkey "sausages", flat mushroom, T - steak, carrots, sprouts, spinach, pepper, flat mushroom, grilled tomato....yum yum S - smoked mackerel

If I do snack its crabsticks, chicken, boiled egg - I usually have my oatbran as a snack either as a galette, microwave biscuits or porridge sometimes with sweetened quark/yoghurt. Have stayed the same again today 82.6kg :sigh: - but I am mid-cycle when I usually gain so am hoping to see a...

No WI today - and another PP day so I can have an extra PV day at the weekend.... B - cottage cheese and smoked trout L - ham and boiled eggs D - turkey burgers,

Another 300g down - 82.6kg today. Made cauliflower mash and turkey onion and tomato burgers yesterday - gorgeous. Today is PP - B- smoked salmon and scrambled egg, L - cottage cheese & chicken breast, D - seafood platter of mackerel, prawns, crabsticks and salmon. Going to make the oatbran...

My weight does vary like that from time to time - especially around TOTM and ovulation - but its usually just water retention and will drop back down again in a few days. Drinking water helps. Some people have "transit issues" on this diet too (being a bit bunged up!). Stick at it and well done...

Still 82.9kg today - but I am ok with that as I did have a little "cheat" on Saturday. We went out for a carvery, with the intention of skipping the potatoes and gravy - but I failed! Thoroughly enjoyed it though and not too much damage done. The rest of the weekend was ok and I am back on track...

I make something similar to the cheesecake topping to eat with my galette - but tonight I made it with cocoa and a few drops of orange flavouring. Just putting in a ramekin and chilling it as per your recipe made it into a proper pudding and it felt much more indulgent - so thanks! Am going to...

I made these tonight.... they were fab. I made 5 in 2 batches - the first three were more like the galette, the last two were crunchy like biscuits - think I made them a bit thinner. Thanks. Was thinking I might make a big batch to take camping next weekend....Does anyone know if they keep ok...

I get frozen rhubarb from asda.

I have had the same problem this week so have taken mine off ..... dont know if its a problem with TF? or if I have done somthing wrong this time?

Another 200g bites the dust:D (82.9kg now) PP day today - and the fridge is looking a little bare..... So I am going to have smoked haddock for breakfast, canned tuna for lunch and chicken breast for tea. Not very exciting- but hey ho! Did the statistic thing again yesterday - Dr D says...

Another 100g off for me today - gone from 85.3kg down to 83.1kg in 10 days - slowly but surely in the right direction.... Tried the oatbran porridge last night with lots of cinnamon. Was scrummy and quicker/easier than the galette. Had a nice cooked breakfast - turkey rashers, tomatoes and dry...

I did ....... I had a steak from the freezer instead!:D

I had cottage cheese with my steak at lunch time.... what about some grilled prawns for surf'n'turf?

Thanks - I think I was thinking of attack....

Just wondering if anyone can help me? - Can I have onions and/or gherkins on a PP day in Cruise, or have I dreamt that? Not got my book with me at the mo - and not sure if I have remembered this right! Thanks :)

Another 600g off for me today..... Now I am remembering why I like this diet:) Another challenging PP day for me as I am working at home with the temptation of bread, choc and crisps around me but I have had smoked salmon and eggs for breakfast, got cottage cheese and ham/chicken for lunch and...

The best me welcome ..... But you have posted in my diary so you won't get many replies here:) it's a fab diet, but it is restrictive and you need to be quite strict to get the results. You are in the right place for great support and ideas. Post your daily menus. And people will keep you on the...

I had green (runner) beans .... are they ok?! Down 600g today - Yippee! Today im having egg and smoked salmon for breakfast, cottage cheese and ham for lunch and haddock and mussels for tea.

I've only lost about that - 1.1kgs in 4 days of attack and Ive stuck too - but my view is its going in the right direction. Stick at it, you will lose. Dukan does work but sometimes you will stick and then have a big weight loss when you are not expecting it. good luck, keep posting esp your...

Well the scales are stuck but I am sticking at it..... pv today B - chicken L - turkey, chicken, beans, carrots, cauli T - salmon steaks, egg and salad S - galette and quark and a skinny cappucino

Mmm sounds nice - thanks. I had planned on turkey burgers for tea made with mince but ended up working late and getting stuck in traffic so had a meze of sliced ham, chicken, crabsticks, smoked salmon, cottage cheese and egg - which was nice (and quick!). Been good fodwise today - smoked salmon...

Attack day 3....and I have eaten B - chicken omelette D - boiled egg, cottage cheese T - garlic chicken, 4 crabsticks, smoked mackerel, cottage cheese S- galette with sweetened quark 3 black coffees, 2 x water.... so far! One more day of Attack and then veggie time! :)

Thanks guys.... 84.5kg today so another 300g gone. To hell with the hosepipe bans - today there is going to be a lot of water drunk!

Well I think today has gone to plan food wise..... Breakfast - smoked mackerel and chicken; black coffee x 2 Dinner - cottage cheese, chicken and ham; black coffee Tea - 2 boiled eggs, garlic roast chicken, 6 crabsticks; green tea Snack - galette with sweetened quark Water - not enough so far...

Well yesterday didnt go quite to plan as I ended up not eating my oatbran.Planned on a galette and some quark after tea but fell asleep before I could get around to making it. Only managed 3 pints of water due to my unplanned early night. Food wise was OK - cottage cheese and ham for lunch...

Thanks both - weighing in at 85.4kgs ..... and aiming for 70! Sliced roast chicken and a one egg omelette and a black coffee for breakfast. so far so good! Chicken for lunch.

Well, I have bought the chicken and fish and am starting Attack tomorrow.... Did Dukan for a couple of months last summer and did well, but struggled to get back to it after an all inclusive holiday so time to knuckle down and shift the pounds again.:)

I have used some herbal tablets called colon cleanse from Holland and Barratt to help with transit issues. Might be worth a try. I take them in the evening and usually see a result the next morning. Keep at it and keep tweaking. Try and vary your diet - a few days where you try new things can...

I had a really fabulous holiday. Thanks! Majorca was beautiful - very relaxing and the weather was gorgeous. Food wise not too bad but my downfall was the cocktails and sangria.... Why is easy enough to have your 5 a day of something naughty - as opposed to fruit and veg lol! I gained about...

Well off on holiday tomorrow. I didnt quite make my 11stone10lb target - but I only missed it by half a pound! (74.6kg) The challenge is on now to stay under 12 stone after 10 days of all inclusive!! I have not had the best of weeks food wise (stress-eating!) but my cheats have only been what...

It all went horribly wrong! Lunch - they didnt have either of my options so I ended up with a big breakfast - eggs, sausage, bacon, mushroom, tomato and left the chips, beans and toast. Then my 18month old son was violently sick... all over me and my friend. Yuk. We didnt make either the...

Yay - thats fab wheesht. I just love all these other changes we notice - so much better than focussing on the scales all the time! (Hmmmm - May just go and have another shower to check if Dr D has pinched my cellulite too!)

Confession time for me - Bit of a disaster lunch out - although the plus side is I left the chips, beans, toast and butter that came with it..... B - smoked salmon, prawns L - bacon, sausage, 2 eggs, mushroom, tomato D - smoked haddock, prawns, mussels, squid, S - galette, yoghurt 2 pints...

I am shrinking. :D Last Christmas my Mum gave me 2 pairs of nice black trousers for my SIL for work. They were a size 12. At the time I was wearing a size 18-20 and almost 3 stone heavier than I am now. For some reason they didnt go to my SIL and have ended up in my "clothes I want to fit...

Well I have a tricky few days ahead. I am on a PP day but have a lunch out with friends and then a wedding party tonight. Tomorrow we are going to a work colleagues new country pad for afternoon tea and cakes. I have checked the pub menu and it doesnt look good. I am either going to go for a...

Just to clarify I don't have that much cottage cheese every day - just on my 2 PP days during my working week as its an easy lunch with some chicken - but I will try something different next week.... I have rather annoyingly stayed the same again today - but woken up with a massive headache...

B - egg, turkey bacon, mushroom, tomato, onion L - chicken and veg soup, prawns, salmon, 6 crabsticks D - chargrilled turkey steak, cucumber, tomato S - gallette and jelly-sweetened quark 2 x tea, 2 x coffee, 2 x Water Running club - 2.5 miles

Warm Cinnamon Oatbran Galette with a big dollop of sweetened vanilla flavoured quark.....mmmm!

Ooops X-posted - LOL - yes mine too M-Mouse - Think I am only really surprised as Ive been spiralling downwards on Dukan! Hope its only a (big!) blip!

Thanks Laura - thats really helpful I have been having one tub of cottage cheese 500g for my work lunch on PP days and the quark/fromage frais in my galette - and the odd dash of milk so maybe it is a little too much. Dont use lemon juice/fizzy drinks much but sweetener in my galette/quark...

Jumped on the scales today and was expecting a nice big loss after having resolved my "transit issues". I'd STS for a couple of days which was ok - but I wasnt expecting a 900g gain. Ouch. I cant really put it down to anything I've eaten.... but I'm going to avoid the crabsticks, ham and...

Tues - PV B - Chicken and turkey ham pieces L - chicken salad D - chargrilled turkey and stirfry veg S - galette and sweetened quark 2 x coffee, 1.5l water Noticed my meals are getting a little repetitive... need to try something new this week. PP today B - smoked salmon and scrambled egg...

Well done for hanging in there! Fab weight loss x

Woo Hoo!!!! ANOTHER 800g down this morning. So, in a month on Dukan I have lost 11.5lbs..... half of what I want to lose. This diet is just amazing. That would have taken me forever on any other diet. (Can you tell I am quite pleased!!!) My 3rd PP day today - with lots of water thrown in for...

Welcome! When I have a stall I hide the scales for a bit.... and weigh once a week rather than every day. I would try varying what you eat - as Wendy says. Go back to the book and see if there is anything you havent tried before to try and shake things up a bit. 8.5kgs is brilliant...

Been a good food day so far today B - chicken, turkey, ham, cottage cheese L - peppered squid, chicken D - chicken, turkey, boiled egg S - cinnamon galette, sweetened quark 2 x black coffee, 2 x teas, 2 pints water....so far!

300g down this morning - 75.8kgs / 11st 13lbs :) Feeling very focussed - got chicken and turkey cooked for my meals today and will be drinking my water.

That sounds like a good plan redbooties! I am going to miss my daily oatbran galettes. Hope you enjoy your hols!

Thanks Wheesht.... I am back on track and now have a fridge full of Dukan goodness - a chicken, turkey steaks, a giant turkey drumstick (think I may eat it caveman style lol!), prawns, scallops, turkey bacon, cottage cheese, quark and some big tubs of fromage frais and 0% total..... and its...

OK. So I am off on holiday in 2 weeks. Majorca - 10 nights - all inclusive - and my first holiday abroad in 2 years.... I am really looking forward to it and want to enjoy it. I have been dieting all year for this holiday and lost 2.5 stone - but I have not reached my target and have just under...

76.1kg this morning - so a little (200g) gain as anticipated after my 4 days of naughtiness! 3 PP days and lots of water for me to get things moving again. Its now 2 weeks till my holiday and I still have 3lbs to lose - but I feel ready to be back on plan 100% and go for it.

Well we are home and a very quick jump on the scales fully clothed this afternoon is showing a 3lb gain - so I am hoping that tomorrow mornings WI will be a STS or a small gain. Either way I am ok with it as we had a great time (the weather was very kind to us - and I had forgotton how much I...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys Well the good thing is I am feeling ok and have managed without the usual carbs and chocs. Today I am having.... B - ham and mushroom omelette L - turkey mince & spices, onion, garlic, spinach D - BBQ @ DHs cousins (hoping for lots of nice chicken &...

Wow that is totally amazing - well done!

Feeling a bit frustrated with my 800g TOTM gain this morning - but will keep at it.... Today I plan to eat:- B - smoked salmon and scrambled egg L - turkey burgers D - chicken breast S - oatbran muffin, turkey ham Lots of water, feeling very dehydrated today.

B - turkey ham L - tuna steak, boiled egg, green beans, spinach, mushrooms D - smoked mackerel, prawns, crabsticks, rocket, pepper, cucumber, tomato S - galette, sweetened yoghurt/quark 1.5l water, 2 x black coffee, 1 x tea

Buffet looked nice but I was quite good and only had 2 chicken drumsticks and a tiny spring roll (that tasted like cardboard!) - hope it hasnt done too much damage.... diet cokes all night - so not much chance of getting to sleep for a while lol!

Thanks I really must try and make these - they do sound lovely. Does anyone know if they will keep for a couple of days - thinking whether they would be ok to take camping next week?

PP Day today B - smoked salmon and 2 scrambled eggs L - garlic chicken breast, turkey ham, cottage cheese D - salmon, cod, prawns, mussels and squid S - galette and sweetened quark Night out tonight at a wedding party.... diet coke with a water chaser all the way as Im driving, so no worries...

They are 2 of the 3 things I didnt think I could do without, Wheesht - the third being crisps. To be honest I have not really missed them - Although I have been desperate for a packet of crisps on a couple of occasions, I have been desparate to lose weight for soooo much longer and I am able to...

Yay! (Can I say "told you so" lol???!!! :D) Well done Maddy - thats a great loss, you must be very pleased :).

I'm another one that wished I had discovered this diet years ago - as it really seems to suit my body. 18 days in and I am 9.5lb down. :D Totally amazing - particulary after really struggling to lose anything for the past 5 or 6 years or so. I never thought I would be able to stick to what...

Well done - Keep up the good work! Hope you get your 500g this week - those milestones really spur you on, don't they?

Sshhhhhh..... dont tell anyone but I lost 500g today. I had to jump on and off the scales a few times (and check it in stones and lbs) and am still not quite believing it - but I am finally 11stone something (the something is 13.25lb but hey 11 stone something - Woo hoo!!!!!) Only another...

Ha - I thought I sounded like the lady in the M&S advert as I was typing that lol!

Well not exactly share...because I have now wolfed the lot down. I made some salmon pate with a flaked up cooked salmon fillet, stirred in about 1/4 tub quark, and a couple of spoons of yoghurt, a few herbs and some balsamic vinegar. Then I got 4 long crispy lettuce leaves and filled with...

STS today ..... :( PV today - plan to eat.... B - 2 x scrambled eggs, slice smoked salmon, 4 x button mushrooms, 2 x cherry tomatoes L - tuna steak, boiled egg, prawns, salad D - chicken breast, turkey bacon, green beans S - oatbran galette, sweetened quark With lots of water again :D

I cant remember if this happened to me on attack. Stick with it - it will work. I have days where I stay the same and it can be deflating but the days you do lose (and have big losses!) will spur you on.

Just popping in to release some pent up aggression and boot some butts...... C'mon line up all you naughty girls :massmoon::whoopass: There, thats better! :rotflmao: In all seriousness I hope you are all doing ok and managing to stick to plan this week x

Yep, I am quackers about it, lol!! I bought a whole chicken and roasted it and I think I was on a mission to finish it! Been pretty good on the old water intake today 3litres so far and a coffee - so fingers crossed the chicken and water will do the trick!

Thanks guys - lots of good stuff there. Our coolbox is one of those plug in ones - so should be ok to keep stuff chilled for a while. \Just need some sunshine now x

Thanks - I like the steak idea. Where do you get Biltong? Have seen it mentioned but never seen it in the shops and dont know what Im looking for. I love BBQ - and really must do more before the summer goes. We have a Hi-Gear Rock 5 from Go Outdoors - reduced from £250 to £100. We were...

Yep, we have bought a tent and are going camping next week :eek: I have NEVER been camping before so not really sure what to expect.... but I do want to stick to my diet so any tips for me? Going for 2-3 nights depending on the weather. We have a 2 ring gas burner with a grill and a cool box...

Yay - well done thats a fab loss.

2 weeks in and I am weighing in at 76.5kgs or 12 stone 1/2lb today. So a loss of 8lbs or 3.7kg.... Very, very happy! Here's hoping that this time next week I will be 11 stone something! Well, its 3 weeks and 6 days until we go on holiday to Majorca - and I really want to lose another 4.5lbs...

Thanks! It is very encouraging! B - rhubarb, quark, mixed spices L - turkey, steamed cauli, brocoli and carrot batons, cottage cheese, tomato D - prawns, mussels, squid, cod, salmon stir-fried with mushrooms, garlic S - galette with yoghurt 2 x coffees, 1 x tea, 1l water

Mmmmmm - thank you. Have been trying a few mixtures of quark'n'spices which have been ok.... and should keep me on the straight and narrow!

Ooh - which one is that Redbooties? Do you mean the new american one on the right hand side of the entrance?

Thats a very good list, Tessa - I would also have some VLF cottage cheese, prawns and some turkey bacon on my list. Welcome and good luck iseult.

Another 100g off today - slow but steady is good! I carried my 18 month son in his car seat for the first time in ages this week and I really struggled even though it was only a short distance. So we weighed him in it and it was 29lbs - just a little bit less than I have lost already this...

Well done, wheesht you are doing really well and will see those 10's very soon I'm sure. I am getting very close to the 11's and will be really excited to get out of that 12 stone bracket! Hope you have a good time at the Fringe.

Well, I survived a night at the pub.... I drove and drank diet coke and water. I even managed to resist the numerous packets of crisps that the girls were sharing on the table.... (oh boy, did they smell good!). Had another lovely compliment from a friend about how I had lost so much weight...

What about making a fritata? Eggs/meat or fish/vegetables - you can also add cottage cheese - I like this chopped up cold. Might even do it one day for work next week. Could you ask for a doggy bag of BBQ for the journey home?

Yep - thats the one, thanks!

Yesterday PV B - 4 x crabsticks L - chicken salad (lettuce/tomatoes) and 2 boiled eggs S - 2 cappuccinos (with SEMI skimmed milk - aaaaargh!) D - Steak, onions, mushrooms, tomato S - dukan bread, cottage cheese, turkey 1 litre water - 40 mins running Plan for Today - PP B - rhubarb, 0% greek...

Our Asda had frozen yesterday - and it is just rhubarb - nothing added. So guess what I'm eating for breakfast?! (Never thought I could be this excited about rhubarb lol!) I have also remembered that my parents are always trying to offload rhubarb from their garden on me - but I generally...

I have an "emergency" Bernard Matthews Turkey Breast Roast (one of the round roll ones) lurking in my freezer - just wondering would this be OK on dukan? Carbs are <1g per 100g (sugars <0.4g)and fat is 5.1g per 100g. Thanks

Thanks - my little ticker lady seems to be whizzing along that tape measure as the inches are falling off. She needs to get at least half way across before my holiday, so I think I need to be feeding her lots of pure protein!! Met up lots of friends yesterday that I hadn't seen for 2 or 3...

Sounds nice - will make some for my PV BBQ tomorrow - to go with my chicken and pepper kebabs mmmm!

Thank you Maintainer! All my crabsticks are gone and I wont be buying any more for a while. I dont really like sweet chilli sauce so thats not a problem but I didnt realise that ham was contentious, so thanks for pointing that one out. I am very pleased with my 200g loss this morning..... in...

I have just joined a Beginners Running Club - Week 3 of 10 tonight and we ran about 4k in 25 mins..... which for me is a big improvement on the previous couple of weeks! Otherwise its long walks with the dog, the Wii Fit, Easyline circuits, aqua aerobics and the occasional zumba class. And I...

Maintainer - can I just ask what is was that made you cringe? Am I doing something wrong? - Any tips/shoves in the right direction are most welcome! I am hoping for a little loss tomorrow as my "transit issues" have resolved themselves with a bit of veg today!

I decided to start Dukan now as August and September were really quiet socially for us..... Well, would you believe it we now have 3 weddings, a garden party, a BBQ and a dinner for a work colleague's leaving do all in the next 4 weeks. Oh and a girls night out at the pub tomorrow. However, I...

Have stuck again today at 77.1kg - but thats ok.... its staying off and I think to be expected after such a good week last week. So - more water, less crabsticks and smoked salmon - and time to experiment with some cooking this weekend, I think .... Need to try and make some muffins and a few...

B - smoked salmon S - 8 crabsticks L - chicken, sliced ham, cottage cheese, yoghurt D - chicken, S - oatbran galette with quark, mixed with splenda and vanilla 2l water, black coffee 40 mins walking

I ate out yesterday at Harvester. Went for 1/2 spitroast chicken, ditched the chips and corn on the cob and had lots of salad instead. I managed to avoid the pasta salad, potato salad and bread rolls - so far so good - but then for some unfathomable reason I put a dollop of coleslaw on the...

Well done you - I ate out to yesterday at the Harvester. Had half a spit roast chicken. When my plate arrived I removed the chips and corn on the cob and added salad - I did have a little coleslaw too though - oops. Just hoping that wont have done too much damage.

Either tesco or asda also have it in the frozen section too - although I haven't checked whether there is any added sugar in it. I love it with yoghurt, splenda and cinammon/mixed spices. Forgot I could have this on cruise, so thanks!

Oh dear I have a bag of this in the freezer that I was hoping to have tomorrow..... off to read the label. Atropos - we loved Northumberland - we stayed in Seahouses for a week in May - the beaches were fab!

Another 200g off this morning - so 3.1kgs off altogether in 8 days - WOW! PV today B - chicken, mushrooms, tomato and onion L - chicken and salad D - roasted veg and fish S - galette and quark mousse

Hi welshlass and welcome, (from another welsh lass!) I'm experiencing the same at the moment - lost 6.5lbs in attack then had a gain of nearly a pound in my first few days of cruise - as have a few others, so stick with it! BTW you have posted in the diaries section - you may get more...

Welcome and Good luck! You're in the right place for great advice and support.

Hi - my meal out was better than planned, thanks! Had chicken skewers with sweet chilli sauce and salad, washed down with a couple of diet cokes. Will be drinking more water today - Have had a litre already and have filled a 1.5l bottle to drink this afternoon. Dinner last night was chicken...

Just wanted to come back and say a very big thank you to those that gave me a nudge in the right direction to do this. One week in and I am about 6lbs down which is fab! I have had a gain and my weight has stuck since strating cruise, but I can live with that and will keep at it. The big...

I love Nandos too - dont go there very often, so wouldn't have though of that. Thanks. Just remembered that we have a lovely portugese restaurant that does fantastic prawns and huge chicken/meat skewers that hang in the centre of the table and havent been there for ages - so that will be our...

Went out for a meal yesterday for my aunts birthday. The plan was to go to Bella Italia - so I went through the menu beforehand and thought I'd go for a chicken cacciatore (chicken breast and veg in a tomato sauce - minus the cheese topping) with roasted veg - and ask for salad garnish instead...

I had this last night and was really nice. Its a mix of chopped pieces of smoked haddock, salmon, and white fish - 2 bags for £5 - I used half a bag, poached in a tiny bit of skimmed milk and added 2 eggs to make an ommelette for tea last night. It was delicious - but I couldnt eat it all...

Welcome - I started last sunday. Its a fab diet. Regards the plate I have started using a smaller plate this week (bit larger than a normal side plate) - then I am not trying to make it look like the food I used to eat, if that make sense. Sometimes I have more than one plateful - other days I...

I am pleasantly surprised at how easy it is too. I can see that because it is very black and white what you can and cant eat there is not much room for slippage (or should I say cheating!). Having come from SW there were always times you had to guesstimate syns etc. which may have led to slow or...

Been here a week - and am already 6.5lbs lighter :D - so thought Id better start a diary! My mini-targets:- Get under 12 stone for mini-break 30/8/11 Get under 11 stone 11 for holiday Get to 11 stone for hubby's 40th - 27/11/11 Get to target of 10 stone 7lb for my 40th in January 4 day...

Tonight I will be having mine cut up into strips and dunked into a bowl of 0% fat greek yoghurt with sweetener, vanilla and cinnamon mmmmm (if theres any yoghurt left by then, that is!):D

Wow, thanks for that Atropos - that makes it really clear! Quark, sweetener and reduced fat cocoa powder (make sure its the right one!) will make you a lovely chocolate mousse MrsMLyons

Sorry - no advice as I'm newbie to this diet but I hope you have a lovely holiday - I will be watching how you do as I am on holiday in just over 5 weeks and am thinking ahead to how Im going to manage that without undoing all my hard work!

Any tips for me? I am loving this diet so far - On attack I have lost 1.2kg on day 1, 400g on day 2, 400g on day 3 and 700g yesterday - a total of just over 6lbs. I am not far off my lowest weight since 2004 :D I have just over 5 weeks until I go on holiday and would really love to shift...

You are not alone - I am in for the long haul too. I think we have a similar amount to lose so its cruise until 18th November for me (just in time for DHs 40th on 27th!). Just think stick with it - and you will have the best Christmas ever!

I am in the same position as you - I have 2 weeks left with SW (been doing it since January and lost just over 2 stone by April and then just stuck). My consultant is fab and has been texting me to see how Im doing and so I do feel a bit "naughty" this week!! I am going to weigh but cant stay...

I have made a chicken soup today by boiling the chicken bones (with some chicken left on) to make a stock. Leave to cool and take the fat off the surface, then take the bones out and add any remaining chicken back into the soup, add some bouillon powder, garlic and black pepper and cook again...

I can gain 3lbs easily around my TOTM and again mid-cycle around ovulation - Its flipping annoying, especially when you've been good, but I always like the big loss the following week. Stick at it x

Thanks guys some great tips and ideas for next week.

Amazon has the ingredients listed - the banana one contains Ingredients: Proylene Glycol,approved flavourings, water and colours E102,E110 Would this be ok? I quite fancy the coconut one!

I am quite enjoying my chicken at the mo - but the whole one I roasted myself seems very dry. Not sure if I cooked it a little bit too long - or whether its just because I am used to lashings of something fattening with it. I am craving Branston pickle which I don't even like much!! I am...

Beanfreaks is fab - I live not far from Cardiff (hence the name) so its my local health shop.... Good service in store too!

Yes its working well for me too. 2 kgs in 3 days which is about 4.4lbs I think. I have switched my scales to kgs because I have been so sick of seeing/being 12 stone something - so I am winging my way to 70kgs.

Well done - thats a great incentive x

Thanks, I did see someone else posted that yesterday evening - I did have more than 8 yesterday (very handy for munching at work).... but they are all gone now!

Wow Redheart - your stats are fab. I am going on hols in 6 weeks and would love to do half as well as you!! Well done x

I tend to do 20-30 minutes Free Step on the Wii Fit and watch TV at the same time. The time just flies by then!

Today I have had :- - 2 egg ommelette with some salmon for brekkie, - Ham, chicken and 6 crabsticks for lunch - Salmon, mussels and prawns with garlic, a squeeze of lime and coriander for tea - 2 black coffees - 2 litres of water (so far) Looking forward to my galette with some sugar-free...

And I lost 1.1kg!!!!!! Woohoo....one happy (but very tired) lady today. The one down side is that my chicken-mad cocker spaniel sits at my feet with big sad eyes whilst I am eating waiting to share!!. May try making a soup as I am finding roast chicken a bit dry on its own. Good luck...

I wasnt sure I was going to like this diet or be able to stick to it - but so far so good.:) Sunday dinner was easy - no chopping veg and spuds - just chuck the chicken in to roast - and bonus only one roasting tin to wash up!! I loved the galette - it was huge and like a giant soft oatcake...

Day 1 of Attack for me..... B - 2 egg ommelette, 2 slices lean ham, green tea L - 5 x crabsticks, boiled egg, tbsp fat free cottage cheese, 2 x slices smoked salmon S - chicken breast sprinkled with garlic granules and coriander D - oatbran galette, roast chicken, fat free vanilla yoghurt...

Thanks, I managed to get some in Tesco this morning (their own brand one)....so there's no stopping me now!! All stocked up on eggs, chicken, crabsticks, prawns, and fat free yoghurt.

Well its Day 1 of Dukan for me and I am weighing in at 80.2kgs....have switched my scales from stones & pounds for a while as I am sick of being in the mid-12 stone bracket.

Hello I am a newbie - starting Attack for the first time today, and am hoping this is the diet that can get me to shift these 20lbs that won't go away!

Just checking I have this right before the BIG day tomorrow.....:D Breakfast - scrambled egg (no milk) and 2 slices of lean ham Lunch - crabsticks, prawns and salmon Dinner - roast chicken/grilled chicken breast Snacks - fat free greek yoghurt, oatbran galette (if I can find oatbran!!) 1...

Thanks - I may be able to get to a Waitrose tomorrow..... and at least having some idea what to look for helps. Saw lots of other stuff by mornflake - just not the oatbran.

Hmm - I am hoping to start Attack tommorrow and am struggling to get the Oatbran. I have tried in Asda and Sainsburys so far - Asda had wheatbran so I have some of that - and Iwill try Tescos tomorrow. Will I get it in Holland & Barrett - because I should be able to get there on Monday? If...

I will be joining you tomorrow. I too have bought crabsticks (and salmon, yum!). Good luck - Hope your first day goes well x

I love you guys - you are soooo helpful. Thanks. I haven't had tofu for a while - so I may give it a try. I have just downloaded "The Book" to my kindle.... now I just need a bit of sunshine and I can have an afternoon in the garden to read through it. I am actually a little bit excited!!

Thanks Maintainer - Yes, the website said 3 days and I should lose 3lbs - but I may try and do 4 as my WI day is a Thursday and then it would mean I can have a PV day (am I getting the lingo?!) on Saturday when I will be eating lunch out for my aunts birthday..... which will be fun! Not...

Thanks Couteaux - I am still doing slimming world at the moment and was going to carry on with it until I switch - I have lost too much to risk putting it all on!! Thanks everyone for your input. We have a party on Saturday so am thinking I am going to start Dukan Attack phase on Sunday and...

Thank you Maintained that is really helpful - might give it a try and see how I do.

Thanks - I was expecting a no, if I'm honest! I know all about the Attack and Cruise phases as my friend is doing this and I have cooked for her a few times, but I havent looked further than that - Is there an idiots guide to the consolidation phase available online as I haven't got the book at...

Have lost 2 stone with SW but have been stuck for 3 months - losing and gaining the same couple of pounds so need to do something different.... and am thinking about the Dukan. We are going on holiday in 7 weeks (all inclusive - and I will want to eat/drink/enjoy it!) so I wonder whether it is...

Aaaaaargh - I have gained 2.5lbs this week. Back up to 12st 6lb for me. I am feeling soooo frustrated. I know its been * week and I had 2 nights out at the weekend - but I made good food choices, didnt drink toooo much and have been really good the rest of the week. Oh well, back to it. I am...

Well done everyone on your losses - looking good. I have decided that I am going to try to stick to plan 100% for the whole of August - I only have one party and one lunch out in the diary so far and lots of friends are on hols so it should be quite easy to keep my social calender pretty...

Back on plan today - strawberries for brekkie, melon and grapes for mid-morning, roasted veggies and chicken followed by satsumas for lunch, then I made the Smash Pizza for tea - smash base topped with a scraping of ketchup, spinach, mushrooms, onions ham and cheese.... it was a bit weird...

Well, I seem to have fallen off the wagon this weekend. Not intentionally - but had 2 parties, and even trying to make good choices I ended up drinking wine and fruit punch, eating peanuts, white bread and cake and now I am feeling proper poop - bloated, upset tum and a bit sorry for myself. :(...

Yay! I lost 1.5lbs this week - so am now 12st 3.5lbs..... yes, I have (finally) got under that 12st 5lb that Ive been hovering on or above since the end of April. I would be feeling amazing if I didnt have such a naughty syn-filled weekend of partying and *week ahead of me. Plan is a Green...

Its 12 stone 5lbs I want to break through!! Melon, seafood soup and lots of water for me today..... Good luck getting past those "sticky weights" everyone.

I did the same.... 3 glasses of Pimms and a whole pitcher of white sangria at La Tasca, accompanying a very gorgeous selection of tapas and paella. Had been very good and planned ahead - but as we were a large group we could only order off the set party menu..... so all my good intentions went a...

When I have long days at work I use the slow cooker to make a casserole. Bung in a load of frozen veg and chicken, tinned tomatoes and some seasoning as Im going out the door and bingo a lovely cooked meal for 2 nights whenI get home.

Wow - some good losses here this week. Well done everyone. Conlou - My tip would be water, water and more water! 2litres a day minimum. Good luck. Dreamslim - I know what you mean - I am not quite into my thin clothes yet - probably another half a stone to a stone till they look ok/nice. My...

I am going for a girly meal and salsa at La Tasca this weekend and really want to stick to plan..... Is there anything that is remotely good/low in syns? I need to avoid rice - so no paella - but otherwise will eat anything!

Thanks Dreamslim..... I feel sooooo motivated to get past that 12st 5 this week. Am currently writing my shopping list and meal-planning my week ahead. The only thing "possibly" standing in my way is a meal out with the girls at La Tasca on Saturday - but it involves Salsa dancing so I am gonna...

I lost 1.5lbs!!!! So am now back to my 12 stone 5lbs that I cant seem to get past. I am going to be really focussed this week. I can and I will do it. Lunch was a crab and salad open roll Dinner is tuna steak with chargrilled courgettes, mushroom, red onion, roasted new potatoes and a salad...

Thank you for the welcome guys ..... Trango, I am Welsh but truly I am no lady lol! I need to stay on track today - I am working at home and as its my WI in the morning. I have already eaten a whole pineapple, half a honeydew melon and my lunch - a mug shot and a wrap filled with mushrooms...

I make this with Quark and milk chocolate options/highlights and its fab for dipping fruit in (strawberries, grapes, blueberries, yummy!).....

Can I join you please - I have been in the 12s since Easter and really want to get in the 11s before my hols..... I was 12st 6.5lb last week (and the week before!) - I just cant get under 12st 5lb....

I loooooove Cosmo too - went to the Cardiff one yesterday and despite being incredibly good - it was still a bad SW day! I avoided most of the stuff in batter (apart from the sesame chicken!), only had 2 little crispy pork pancakes, and ate melon and lychees for pud. We wont mention the...

Thanks GG - I have been having my syns - usually 15 at the weekend and about 5-10 in the week...so evening out over the week. I have been exercising and was eating loads of superfree and speed foods - so my consultant thought that maybe I was not getting enough calories for the amount of...

Bowl of strawberries with a vanilla & chocolate muller light poured over the top.

Thanks both! I dont really tend to eat pasta because I know bread and pasta can cause me to gain weight - and dont often eat rice but I do eat a fair few potatoes and often use my B on bread ... so I could try to limit those a bit. Am out for a meal with my Mum - If we go to the Chinese...

OK I have stayed the same again this week - have hit a real plateau - so am trying to meal-plan the week ahead. Breakfasts will be something different every day to use my remaining A&Bs (so scan bran, porridge, weetabix, cooked etc), snacks will be mostly fruit/muller yoghurts, I will be...

Thank you everyone your comments are really helpful. - I've done the green tea, and did change around my HExs a few weeks ago, but its possible I may be slipping back into my old faves (bread!). Hmm - haven't tried the not eating late/cutting the carbs/fruit in the am... so will have a look...

Thank you everyone. I did WW before I was pregnant - and also got to about the same weight and then stuck, but reaaly dont want to go back to it as I love SW - but maybe I do need a complete change. I had a couple of days off plan last week (with the same thinking!) and STS at weigh in. I was...

I lost 2 stone between New Year and Easter - and was feeling great. Since then I have been gaining/losing the same 3 or 4lbs.... and am feeling pretty despondent. I still have at least a stone to lose - (but would really love to lose another 2 or 3 stone) I feel like I have tried everything -...

Just wanted to pop back and say that our dinner party was a great success - my mate (and her hubby - who is also doing it with her but not quite so strictly!) were thrilled that they were able to eat virtually everything. I made individual fritatas with veggies and lean ham and they went down...

Thanks so much (for your ideas and the lovely comments!)- am just off to do the shop now. Anja thanks I am going to have a bash at making the baked vanilla. I have made a s/f jelly and am going to serve it as a very retro "jelly and blancmange" ;) Am also going to do some calamari rings as...

Thank you so much!!!! My buddy is doing sooooo well I just want to be supportive :) We went out for a meal for my birthday when she was in the first week and she ate plain fish for starter and plain steak for main whilst we were all tucking in to scrummy meals - so I dont want to repeat that...

We are having friends over for dinner on Saturday evening and I need to come up with something Dukan friendly - my friend is on the cruise stage and its a day she can eat veg..... Im thinking of Tapas to start including:- * Olives (not sure if I can marinade them? and if so with what?) *...

Another 1lb off for me this week. Its coming off slowly but surely - 8lbs in total. Think I need to change what I am eating a bit this week.

Just checking in.... No weigh-in last week due to the Bank Holiday but this week I have lost another 1lb - so got my 1st silver seven - woo hoo. Quite pleased as hubby was off work last week and we ate out a few times, went to friends for dinner and had take away. Am hoping to lose 2lbs...

I lost another 2lbs this week - which was a nice surprise (although I had had a really good week). No class next week as its Bank Holiday so hoping for a nice big loss the following week. Well done to everyone who has lost weight this week x x x

I'm Welsh - and when I lived in London I was always known as Taffy Tart (or TT) - but now I am married (to Valley Boy, as he is known by our English mates!) I have become Taffy Girl.....:)

Hello all ..... I've been for my first WI today and I have lost 4lbs. Woo hoo!!

Can I join too please - I would like to lose 2 stone and my WI day is Monday. Thanks. Well done to everyone who has signed up and has lost weight so far x

Thanks everyone - well I signed up on Monday. The leader seems really nice and helpful. Its an express class - which was not really what I wanted but she is happy to chat through any queries on a one-to-one basis and I can also change to another class if need be. This class suits me as I can...

I dont know whether anyone will remember me ...... but I lost about 1.5 stones with weight watchers between January 2008 and May 2009. I had to lose the weight to have IVF. Well one year on and I am coming back again- this time to lose my post-baby weight gain. After successful IVF treatment...

When we were in the lake district I had in my head that I did not want to gain (and if I did I only wanted it to be a teeny bit!). I had the car full of low point snacks - WW cakes/crisps etc for my cravings and tried to drink lots of water. We walked loads to get bonus points and I stuck to...

Well done on your first stone Joanne! Sorry to hear you STS this week - its rubbish when that happens - but hey its still a stone down..... :) I like the fact its gone for ever too - nice attitude!

I have been starting to take salads to work for lunch - trying to cut down on the bread/sarnies (and save a bit of cash!) I find the Asda smart price salad leaves are a good base - I have either half or a whole bag (49p) with chopped/cherry tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions or red onions...

Thank you! It does feel good to have a plan and be ticking things off rather than just focusing on the lbs/scales. I think I have been quite realistic in what I am aiming for and it is keeping me motivated at the moment. :)
