Hi Hun, I'm 27 weeks pregnant with baby 2, my first is also only 1, I'm the opposite tho I had a little boy first but expecting a little girl this time ? I gained 3 stone 7 with Harry! I started following slimming world at 19 weeks pregnant after having already gained 17lbs, I'm now...

Hi :) congrats on your daughter and your first weeks loss! I had my little boy last October and still battling with the pregnancy weight! I've lost most of my weight but still battling with the final stone. Good luck on your journey Leah xx

Hi :) food sounds great! I'm like you I had my little boy last October, have lost most of the weight but still have just under a stone until pre pregnancy weight! He's 1 next month. I stalled around May too! I keep toying around with slimming world but I do it for a few days and then give up...

Hi purpleflower, I've done Dukan diet a few times and just wanted to reassure you that it is common to have a disappointing loss either weeks 2 or 3, so I would recommend seeing it through another week, cut out your tolerated items and eat clean protein and plenty of water and you should see a...

So nice to hear from you bonkers and glad your doing so well! You sound so happy, and you look absolutely fabulous in your work pics!!! So glad you have found something that works for you, thanks for checking in and updating us, I was worrying! Xxx

They're not too bad actually I didn't know if they were strictly allowed but it says quorn if fine to use so I did :) I've tried the meatballs aswell they quite nice :) the pepper steaks are okay too :) Makes a nice change to actual meat lol xx

Thanks both :) Ended up being off plan Sunday and Monday as had plans with family and didn't want to be a pain! Gained a pound so was 11 stone 4 & 1/2 this morning. So today's eats: attack day 1 (again lol) B- oatbran porridge L- 3 quorn sausages and 2 eggs S- strawberry jelly. Muller...

Today's eats - day 4 - attack B - oatbran porridge S- 2 hard boiled eggs L- 5 quorn meatballs S- muller light vanilla D- chicken breast Fingers crossed for a shift on the scales in the morning! 1 & 3/4lbs lost over 3 days attack would love another 3/4 lb in the morning to take me to 2 &...

So the scales back down slightly this morning to 11stone 3 & 1/2. Still means I've only lost 1 & 3/4lbs on 3 days attack, but I did have a wobble yesterday so only myself to blame! So, starting off the day ahead with my fave breakfast! :)

So after seeing the gain on the scale this morning after 2 full days on attack I had a little "f this" moment, and rammed toast and cereal into my mouth like there was no tomorrow. Instantly felt bad and gave myself a good telling off. Instead of my old thinking off "oh well I may aswell eat...

Gained this morning!!?! Confused :/ :(

Sooo hungry today I could eat a horse!! So Today will be like this- B- oatbran porridge S- 2 boiled eggs L- tikka chicken S- 0% Greek yoghurt D- chicken skewers

Bonkers, bonkers, where art thou bonkers?!?!

Haha lets get loud :) Oooo I forgot about quiche! thanks for reminding me :) Thanks Shelly you too :) xxx

Just a little snack to tide me over til lunch :)

Wow that's amazing! Good start :) You'll lose 23lbs in no time, you could do that in 2 months :) I've got about 20lbs to lose, but would be happy just getting back into the 10s for now :) I've been dabbling with slimming world too since having my little boy but I can't seem to stick to it...

Really glad that's helped :) I've just checked online and it says- you can have 2 tolerated items in cruise, 1 tolerated item would be one babybel or 30g philly extra light, so technically you could have 2 per day, but it you find your weight loss stalling then it could be down to tolerated...

Wow well done on seeing the 56! (Although I don't work in kg so not sure what that is haha!) still sounds amazing :) Actually just off to google to convert to stones... Oh my goodness! - 8stone 12lbs?!?! That's a number I can only dream of! Wow wee! Fabulous, you must be so chuffed! Xx

Well done on not gaining anything! And to come back and lose 4lbs is brill! Congrats xx

Well done on the 5lbs loss :) you've done so well on holiday! I gained 11lbs when I went away for 2 weeks (I did eat like a pig though!) congrats again xx

Good luck Gamy :) this diet is fab x

Hi Andi :) I'm a restarter, did Dukan up until finding out I was pregnant and have restarted yesterday. my favourite foods for attack/PP are- oatbran porridge, dippy eggs and bacon/chicken/steak/sausage soldiers, omelette with ham and tiny bit of onion, marinated chicken skewers, chicken...

So 1.5lb down this morning :) only 4lbs to go until I see the 10s :D Starting my day off with my fave breakfast, oatbran porridge! Love love love porridge! (My reason for such an early breakfast is a 10 month old that starts the day at 5am every day, yawnnnnn!) Feeling positive and in...

Haha thanks Shelly! I had dippy eggs today for breakfast I love them :) I might have tuna and pickled onions tomorrow :) Fingers crossed I can finally complete a full week! Thanks for checking in it's so quiet nowadays :( xx

Hi all :) Only me! Again! Back on the Dukan bus, today is day 1 of attack for me, so far so good! :) Weighed in this morning at 11st 5 & 1/4 - aiming to see the 10s after 1 week attack! (Fingers crossed!) So today went like this B- 2 boiled eggs and 2 bacon medallions S- chicken chunks...

Amazing shelly :) well done on the 3lb loss! :) xxx

You can eat as many eggs as you want they only say to limit them it you suffer with high cholesterol x

They say to limit to 2 yolks per day IF you suffer with high cholesterol, if your cholesterol is fine then eat away :)

Hi Shelly :D These first 2 days have been fine! Been eating more than I usually would lol I think the tough times start from day 3 onwards! (Tomorrow) If it works for me I might do it every now and then for a boost, I'm not feeling very hopeful at the moment tho for a big loss I think I may...

So day 1 of the detox went well :) Day 2 today and this is today's eats (this is the last "easy" day the next 5 days I get a lot less food!) B- 1 hard boiled egg and grapefruit L- 1 slice of toast with 1 chicken breast and 1/2 tin of tomatoes D- steak, lettuce, cucumber and cherry tomatoes...

Hi caro :) Thanks for checking in, well done on your loss today :D I agree I think I must have tried every diet in the book, I might make my own up soon I'm running out of ideas haha! So I am starting day 1 of the 7 day chemical diet today..... Had my black coffee at 6am yuk! My little boy...

I may be doing a 7 day detox starting Monday, if so I'll be coming back to Dukan next Monday xxx

Hi everyone :) Just checking in! So I've been doing my own thing these past few weeks, haven't really been dieting as such but I have been careful what I've been eating, I've been following Dukan principles with added extras, as I joined the gym about 4 weeks ago so I didn't want to do a hard...

Forgot to add, well done on the loss!! You will have your century badge in no time! 2 weeks max :) then it will be 100lbs gone forever xx

Oh god the 1 minute run seems to last 1 hour whilst your doing it, and the 2 minute walk feels like it's over in 2 seconds!!! Sure I'll get fitter eventually! Yeah I get you there, I'm not a fan of gyms, get mega paranoid that everyone's staring at me but I've just had to realise that everyone...

Ahh that makes sense :) thanks! I've just started with cardio workouts, I've been following the couch to 5k app which is basically a workout to build you up for running 5 kilometers, that's a 30 min workout on the treadmill with interval running (2 min walk then 1 min run) then I do the cross...

Thanks for that, sounds great :D Maybe the not frying is where I go wrong, I've never tried that before that's probs why mines always soggy because I don't crisp it up! I wonder if fry light would have the same impact..... I'll give it a shot when I next buy some :) I'm great thanks, I joined...

Hey bonkers :) Still reading you! :) Nice to have a sneaky insight into your menu! Looks great, when you say baked salmon, is it just salmon or do you add anything ie spices, herbs? Do you put it in foil? Only reason I ask is whenever I do salmon it never really turns out great so wondering...

Brill pic bonkers, however it won't let me view your "before" picture...? Xx

Foodie pics from previous days... Syn free chilli with bns chips Szechuan style beef and veg with cauli rice Skewered donner kebabs Chicken and veg kebabs with savory rice and salad Chinese pork steak with savory rice, grilled veg and salad Full English (2 syns for sausages)...

Day 10- EE HEA- milk HEB- porridge oats B- overnight oats (heb) with strawberry muller and chopped banana L- Mediterranean mugshot, apple and orange D- boiled rice & chicken in black bean sauce (5) Will add food pics later :) xxx

Mines night times too! Just take myself off to bed to try and stop it lol. I'm giving slimming world a go at the moment, it's nice to enjoy real food but I'm not eating carbs unlimited like they tell you to! I know my body hates carbs I'd end up gaining weight lol. 2lbs down in 1.5 weeks...

Well done for resisting jenny :) massive willpower there toast is what I failed on! I wasn't as strong as you lol xx

Thanks nattie :) I've been eating some yummy for over this past week and a bit and it doesn't for one second feel like "a diet" I really am enjoying it! I'll start my diary from today as there's too much to post for 8 days lol. I'm mainly doing red days with a few EE days (as my body can't...

1lb is great! Especially for someone with a weight as low as yours :) well done xx

Hi everyone, I've been following sw from home since last Wednesday and thought it might be helpful for me to keep a diary to keep me on the right path. A bit about me, I'm Leah, 21 and had my first baby (Harry) on 2nd October 2013. He's now 7 months old and I'm still not back to my pre...

Oh my god, bonkers, I'm so incredibly proud of you!!!! Your not only going to have met Dukan TW target as predicted but also beat it by a week!!! (You'll deffo have that 100g off by next wi!) You've well and truly smashed this. Well done times 1 million x

I think I've seen quite a few people saying they use these on Dukan and I think I read online you can use them as they are just Konjac plant or something or the other, I tried them but yak!!! Never again lol, maybe see how you go and if you don't lose then cut them out but as far as I'm aware...

Thanks for that! Ps your little girl is adorable!!! My little boy is 7 months and no where near eating as good as that he's still gagging on purees!!! Do share the secret to a good eater lol xx

Aww thanks for replying :) Congratulations to you to :) I know you see the stories of people who have stuck to it and lost so much weight but it's just impossible to stick to it especially when you have a baby keeping you busy (and tired!) so far slimming world doesn't actually feel like a...

Hi :) good job on the 3lb loss, hope you don't mind me subscribing? I've just started sw from home on Wednesday so haven't had 1st weigh in yet but like you I'm doubting the weight loss! I've been on slim and save which is the same as exante but fed up of not being able to eat 'real food' so...

Hi bonkers! No keto breath here.... I lasted 2 days :/ on Tuesday I managed to battle through Starbucks (got a skinny latte) battled through subway with my mum eating a meatball sub in front of me plus a cookie and crisps while I sat there with a salad bowl...... Didn't cave in to my mums roast...

Come back to look again I think the red is deffo my fave!! Xx

They all look nice but 3,4 and 6 get my vote :) xxx

Post them :) we will all help you choose :) xx

Hi bonkers :D Nice to see you over here xx

Aww no :( it will happen soon enough! What are you eating? Maybe try sticking to basics for a day I.e lean meat, eggs, oatbran... Try and cut out dairy, ham, packaged meats etc? And up your water intake? Xx

Hi can I join please :) I'm going on holiday 3 weeks today so I'm aiming for at least 2 weeks 100% but hoping for 3 weeks (that's when I go away!) My start weight is 11 stone 11 xxx

Thanks clin I'll head on over there :) xx

Yay to the dresses :) Here's hoping the scales stick on 11 tomorrow! Best of luck! Drink plenty of water that may help. Will check here in the morning (fingers crossed!) xx

x Aww thanks jenny :) yes I prefer Dukan I like the freedom of Dukan, but have 2-3 weeks worth of packs left to use so thought I'd use them up now then I can restart on Dukan after my holidays :) I had a great night out thanks! Hope your doing well, enjoying reading your journey xx

Hi guys I'm restarting today at 11stone 11&1/2 Got 3 weeks on the diet until my hols so going to give this 100%, I'm aiming for around 10lbs in 3 weeks. Fingers crossed! Good luck to all x

Good luck with your journey :) the good thing about attack is it makes us crave veggies so much! You will never look forward to a vegetable quite the same again haha xx

So day 1.... (On slim and save) 11stone 11 & 1/2 Only had a cuppa tea so far, but I'm going into town later so hopefully will keep my mind off eating :) will have a shake before I go and take a bar with me to eat in the coffee shop... Xx

I'll just write in here bonkers :) Off I go to weigh.... X

Thanks tryin again but I am very much overweight, I'm a shortie at 5ft 3 and currently weight 11 stone 11 :( Thanks for checking on me bonkers, I'm all ready and raring for my restart tomorrow! I'll be doing my vlcd for the start. Check in tomorrow :) xxx

Good luck to both of you with your journeys :) xx

Oh I see! Sorry I thought you meant Saturday would be your first day on attack, in that case try and stick to protein, salad, veggies etc. good luck xx

Aww bless you, better late than never! Feel free to come and kick me up the bum Monday morning! Xx

Omg wow! No need to be scared! That's a massive transformation!! You are a beautiful lady don't ever be scared to show your face!!! I'm so happy for you I wish I had your determination xx

Aww thanks bonkers :) I think he is adorable but then I'm biased lol. I'm going to mix it up I think, I've got about 2 weeks of supplies for vlcd then I'll do 1 week of attack I think. I may need tonnes of encouragement on Monday to actually get my ass in gear!! Thanks bonkers your lovely...

Haha ok mother! Sorry! Me and Harry are great thanks, I've lost my way a little with the dieting scene hence why I've not been posting as nothing diet related to post about! Back on it Monday for 3 weeks though as we are going on holiday down to Devon (South of England) on 2nd june. So 3...

Hi :) If you don't wish to follow the diet on Saturday then postpone starting until Sunday, there's no point starting day 1 Saturday if your going to cheat anyway as Sunday would end up being day 1 all over again anyway. Hope that helps x

Hi jenny :) I had 1 muller a day (toffee or vanilla) when doing dukan, but if you notice your weight loss stalling then cut them out :) xx

Still lurking bonkers :)

Woo well done for moving onto cruise!! And a massive well done for becoming a size 16!!! Amazing achievements bonkers, you should be very proud of your self xxx

Haha my pleasure :) glad you've found a way to get the bran in :) I like them when they are crunchy, the longer you let them stand the crunchier they get but I always ended up getting impatient and eating them straight away! Still yummy though :) good luck with your journey xx

ahh bonkers, I've been lurking, and reading! I'm glad your still liking the biscuits :) they are a good easy tasty way to get the oatbran in especially if your not a fan so thought I'd reccomend them again :) I'll pop over to your diary now. Jenny I think it's just oatbran, milk and ginger...

Bumped for Jenny :)

Hi jenny :) great start :) I'm an old timer but still read the diaries! Have you tried oatbran biscuits? They are really quick and easy and you can put ginger powder in them to make ginger biscuits. I will bump them up in the receipe thread for you :) I used to have them with a cuppa before...

Hi Tamara, sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. I think you look fab in both pics :) good luck with getting back in to the 9s, I take it your doing Dukan to get you back there again xx

Thankyou, yep pretty rubbish :( xx

Glad to see you've not left us :) was worried about you xx

Well week 5 weigh in is a gain of 2 & 1/4lb but that's because I've been off plan since Tuesday, been on children's ward with my poorly little baby, he's had numerous viral infections and high temperatures and hasn't been a happy bunny at all, so needless to say I haven't been able to follow...

Earth calling bonkers, where art thou, do I need to come and hunt you down like you did me..... :) xx

Thanks both of you :) it's made me want to continue for longer, if I had another bad weigh in today I was going to stop, now I want to order more supplies :) so happy xx

Wow that's amazing!! Well done :) xx

I'm so chuffed! Week 4 weigh in and after my disheartening week of +1lb last week I've lost 3 & 3/4lbs this week!!! Just 1/2lb of the 1 stone target for 4 weeks but I'm ok with that :) 13 & 1/2lb in 4 weeks gone forever :) yay xxx

Haha pog they are so comfy!! Xx

Where you hiding bonkers???? Hope your ok xx

Ahh thanks very much, glad I'm wanted here :) lol. Thanks for making me smile xx

Thanks for checking in on me :) still plodding along. Weight still not really budging. Hoping for a loss Monday, gone back to simplicity in the hope it will help :) xx

Nope apparently the same losses on either days, so do whichever suits you best :) xx

I do whichever I feel like doing on the day lol you can mix it up. On simplicity you can have 4 packs plus veg so I just usually chuck a few mushrooms with a cheese pasta pack or swede chips with a pack. On a lifestyle day it's usually when I'm eating out/on the go so would have 3 packs plus a...

Hiya :) Well done on getting started, I agree the shakes are so much nicer than Lipotrim! There's a swap shop thing on the slim and save website where you can "trade" packs, so you could advertise that you've got choc shakes to swap and other people will offer you a different pack and you...

Haha thanks bonkers ;)

Love corned beef sandwiches with tomato ketchup! Have you heard of something called corned beef hash?? Not sure if that's a delicacy in Dubai lol xx

Haha bonkers they have a little more "give/stretch" in them and they have an elasticated waist band for comfort around your bump lol. So deffo a positive to be in 'normal' jeans :) xx

Today I am In my first pair of non maternity jeans since early pregnancy!!! Makes up for the 1lb gain this week :) thought I'd be in my maternity jeans for the rest of my life haha!! Xx

Great start abi :) remember to eat as much protein as you want don't go hungry xx

Yep. No inches lost :( mega boo xx

Hi abi :) Good luck with your journey! :) xx

Hi floss :) off course we can be buddy's :) I'll keep an eye out for your diary xx Thanks clin for the encouragement it's just really hard to accept when you know you've been 100% all week. But Thankyou for the advice I will Definately carry on and just hope for a loss next week xx And for the...

Haha thanks for the conversion ;) I don't think numbers matter either, it's how you feel that matters, I think you'll know when you reach the weight your happy with, then it's just the task of maintaining! Wow 6 stone is amazing that's like losing a whole 13 year old child lol! I bet you...

Ahh that's ok bonkers I didn't expect you to have the answers I was just having a rant lol Nope nothing's changed, totm not due yet, I'm just going to plod along and accept it. I'm iust merely hoping for a sts at official weigh in tomorrow, at least that would be a little easier to accept than...

Hi pogmama! I've heard exante doesn't taste too nice, fortunately these packs taste ok, and the bars are to die for! But I'm missing Dukan and being able to "eat" proper foods. Not just powdered meals lol. I will be coming back to Dukan once I've finished this lot, (don't want to waste the...

Also I've just read you've lost almost 6 stone?! Can I ask was this all on Dukan and when did you start dieting?? Xx

Just catching up :) Wow the 12s! It's so amazing when you enter a whole new stone bracket isn't it! How tall are you bonkers? And what weight to you want to reach? Your doing amazing and you sound so positive, I hope this 10lbs comes off quickly for you (I say 5 weeks max!) you'll be able...

Hey bonkers :) thanks for checking in on me, yeah it's weigh day tomorrow but feeling really down as I weighed this morning and it's showing a gain from last weeks weigh in :s I'm so confused I've done this 100%, how can someone gain weight only eating 600 kcal in meal replacements a day :s...

Well done Tara a loss is a loss :) Hopefully you get a bigger loss next week xx

Thanks clinquant, I'm very motivated for the first time in my life! Never stayed 100% faithful to a diet for this long. Haha bonkers I can't work out kgs they confuse me so much lol xx

Aww it's so lovely to see messages like this :) thanks both of you :) I suppose it doesn't matter what path we take we're all on the same journey at the end of the day and hopefully we will all get where we want whichever way we do it :) I think Dukan will be a good way to maintain my weight...

Thanks Zoe :) well done to you too xxx

Ahh your welcome :) if you sailed through that then you'll do this easily :) The bars Are amazing on this, especially the choc orange and choc mint there like Terry's choc orange and after eight (and there bigger than the other bars lol) and the shakes actually taste nice :) Good luck to you...

Hi abbz :) I remember reading your Lipotrim diary, you have done amazing! I only lasted 1 day on Lipotrim before throwing the towel in don't no how you managed to drink those horrid shakes for so long!! Lol. You'll be so pleased with the taste of these shakes most of them are nice :) I can't...

Thanks both of you for commenting :) So week 1 weigh in and 8lbs down!!!! And now in the 11s! Also lost 5.5 inches overall. Very happy to say the least :) xxx

Well silly me forgot to put my order in by 4.30 on Friday so now I've not got enough packs, won't get my delivery til Tuesday. I've dropped to 2/3 packs a day and a chicken salad until my products come to hopefully keep me in ketosis. Hopefully I'll still lose weight despite the 'real food'...

Aww Thankyou :) I had a slight different day than plan above, Had banana shake, mint choc shake, chicken curry soup and just had chilli con carne. The soup was horrible, Definately not ordering any soups tomorrow lol. The chilli was nice though :) My baby eats warm porridge and fruit for...

Good luck to you too numptymum :) today I am in ketosis wooo, tested and I'm between the darkest and the second darkest so let the fat burning commence :) Thanks for the advice pripri those ideas sound great! I'm not daring enough to start experimenting yet though lol can guarantee I'll mess...

Thanks for replying :) Some valuable advice thanks :) I know that I'll feel 100% better next week when ketosis kicks in and my stomach starts adapting to less food. You seem to notice all the bloody food adverts on tv when on a diet!! Stupid things lol. So far so good today, B- caramel...

So day 3 already! Each day is getting easier thank god. Already figured I'm not a fan of soups and shakes, hate the soups, I don't mind the shakes but it's not like I enjoy them either like I do the porridge/meals/bars. So I don't look forward to having a shake. Does anyone just have...

Thanks so much for all the advice, if I do as well as you two then id be over the moon :) Can't wait to be in ketosis just want this headache to go away! Don't think I'll be ordering any more soups there not very nice :( and still can't seem to prevent powder lumps. Never mind, I'll just have...

Hi guys, I'm currently on day 2 of s&s and have been reading all your diaries so figured id make my own! So about me, I'm 20 years old (nearly 21) and I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Harry on 9/10/13 (he's 20 weeks old tomorrow) I've always followed Dukan diet before but I want a...

Thanks pol :) I just hoped for a little more for week 2, I'll be happy if I lose 2lb a week though :) xx

Haha! My thoughts are if I plan when I'm going to cheat then I won't be tempted to do it before that because I no I've got that to look forward to :) and also life throws a lot of obstacles in your way and there's no way I can go for my anniversary meal and drinks without eating something...

Thanks for reading colsam! It is so much harder with a baby as need so much more energy! But once you've passed the first few days it gets easier :) I'm looking forward to my cheat night bonkers :) it feels so naughty haha! P.s weigh in this morning 2 weeks down another 2lb gone (less than...

Yesterday had a chilli con carne with butternut squash chips and today made like a Szechuan beef with broccoli and cauliflower rice! Was lovely. I put some pics on my diary if you want to take a look x

Well done :) I know what you mean about staying in attack, last time I did Dukan I only did about 1 PV day a week, it slowed down though so I've realised this time you may aswell enjoy the veggies. I've done my first 2 PV days yesterday and today and my gosh my dinners were amazing! Dinners I...

I grated it first then microwaved for 2 mins xx

I'm loving this cooking malarkey! Getting right creative! Here's tonight dinner I've just wolfed it down it was amazing! It kinda tasted like szechuan beef, the side order was cauliflower rice. If anyone would like the recipe I'll try and remember what I did but I kinda just go with the...

Thanks mini :) it's horrible seeing him like this but I've just learnt that babies can have upto 8 colds in their first year?! Bloody hell. Well the after effects I'm wondering May be down to taking senakot tablets last night so maybe I didn't give my body 'time to digest' last nights food...

Thanks p :) planning ahead for when I introduce veggies xx

The nice thing about writing a diary is being able to read it back later on :) just read it from start to finish. I forgot all about oatbran porridge!! I used to have that every morning so that's the first thing back on my menu! Also tuna and picked onions! And my beloved jelly!! So glad I've re...

Day 6 - 12 stone 6 & 1/4 (-1/4lb) total = 4 & 1/4lb So the weight loss is slow for first week and I would have expected a much bigger loss than this :/ never mind :( B - yoghurt L - dippy eggs and chicken soldiers D - chicken noodle soup S - will have oatbran biscuit later So the noodles...

Hi bonkers! aww I'm glad you like them I've been "purposefully" forgetting my oatbran so I get a ginger biscuit before bed with a coffee :) I wish I could say he was getting better but nope, still a poorly little man. Plenty of cuddles and attention for him though :) Xx

Can't grumble at that :) well done xx

Haha that actually made me laugh out loud P! X

Day 5 - 12 stone 6 & 1/2 (-1/2lb) total = 4lbs (Coming off slowly but surely, been to the loo for the first time today so hoping for a bigger loss tomorrow!) Been mega busy today hardly had the time to eat or make food, health visitor came round this morning then off to chemist, then a ride...

Thanks for thinking of us :) he's still a coughing snot box but the docs have said it's just a common cold but babies don't handle them as well as adults do so that's why he's struggling. Got some nasal drops now but it's a task and a half to try and get them into him lol. Oh my god P your...

Day 4 - 12 stone 7 (-3/4lb) = 3 & 1/2lb total B - yoghurt and oatbran biscuit L - a few ham slices D - cheesey steak and eggs and another yoghurt

Thanks bonkers :) I've had a biscuit with my coffee this morning, if you leave it a couple of mins it goes hard and crunchy, I put a teeny bit of ginger powder in mine was like a ginger biscuit :) xx

So weight this morning is 12 stone 7, so another 3/4lb down making 3 & 1/2lb in 3 days. Maintainer I don't have time to eat much :( Harry makes certain of that I think he's got secret powers as soon as I start cooking he wakes up (must be smelling the food lol) so then I have to try and wolf...

Hunters chicken is chicken breast, BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon. This is something I'd usually eat out in a restaurant but never thought of making it Dukan friendly. I just topped a chicken breast with light laughing cow triangle (break it up and put it all over the chicken) smear Dukan...

Bumped for bonkers :)

Day 3 - 12stone 7 & 3/4 (-3/4lb) -2 & 3/4lb total B - yoghurt L - chicken drumsticks D - hunters chicken (BY FAR THE BEST MEAL IVE EVER EATEN ON DUKAN!!! Why did I never think of doing this before?!) Just realised I've not had oatbran today so I'll make them little microwave biscuit things...

Hi briony, the answer is yes, if followed correctly like any other diet. I lost just over 2 stone in 2012 going from 12 stone 8 to 10 stone 4, then fell pregnant and put all my weight back on (own fault, I had the 'I'm pregnant, I don't care' approach to eating)!) I'm back on Dukan now...

So my barenaked noodles have just been delivered! Anybody have any ideas on what to do with them for attack/PP??? Xx

Thanks for thinking of us bonkers :) Harry's still no better plus I'm now poorly! Lovely! The scales were 12 stone 7 & 3/4 this morning so another 3/4lb down today. Not as much as I hoped for though :/ xx

So today, the headache has started :( boo. If that wasn't all I've had 2 fillings today and the anesthetic has only just wore off since 12.30 so only just cooking my tea. Day 2 - 12stone 8 & 1/2 (-2lb) -2lb total B- 2 dippy eggs and w/w bacon L - fridge raiders (couldn't chew anything and was...

Well done Tamara that's great :) xx

Wow amazing losses! Xx

Thanks for all your messages, Harry's still no better but he's soldiering on, still giving me his lovely gummy smiles bless him :) As for me I did start Dukan yesterday Yesterday's menu B - yoghurt and oatbran L - 2 w/w sausages D - 3 chicken drumsticks 2lb down today :) Day 2 here we...

And I've just looked back on my first post with start weight and I'm still lighter than then, was 13 stone a couple of weeks ago, and now restarting at 12st 10 & 1/2 so 3 & 1/2lb lighter than then xx

I'm glad I've just come on and checked this, if totally forgot about my restart today, ended up in the hospital with Harry last night :( was there for 4 hours, he was struggling to breath because he's all snotty and coughing, he was heaving and gagging for his breath and bringing up all his...

Thanks! I'll give it ago! I must agree though if I had someone cook for me it would make me stay on plan a lot better than me cooking for myself as I'm not very, erm, creative with cooking lol, chucking a few spices on a chicken breast is about as creative as I've ever got on Dukan!! Xx

Thanks Tamara I'm very proud :) xx

I bet you never thought you'd get excited over some cabbage! Haha! Xx

Haha your lucky!! I wish I had a cook :( xx

Wow that's amazing! I'm no good with kg but I think 1.2 is about 3 pounds?? Bloody amazing. P.s I'm gunna give the kale ago when I'm on PV :) xx

Aww thanks bonkers. He's such a little monkey xx

Ooh that sounds lovely, can't wait to try them now? What kinda sauce to you put with the stir fry? Xx

So ladies, I've just ordered some of these after seeing Sid write about them in a post I've just been reading. What do people suggest putting these with? So far I've thought of spag Bol, stir fry and maybe adding them to some sort of soup?? Any ideas ladies, I'm trying to be more creative this...

Aww thanks Hun :) I've just realised I've not posted any pictures of little Harry yet! Newborn Harry Newborn Harry with his daddy Me and Harry Harry at Christmas Looking all grown up In his Christmas prezzie Looking cheeky And finally posing for the camera I've...

Hi Tamara! Amazing to hear from you, so sorry to hear about your brother and your fainting :( hope your managing to cope okay :( It's brill to hear you kept most of the weight off too, that's one thing everyone worries about when coming off these types of diet. I'm the same as you I've still...

Thanks scooter :) xx

Thanks P! Glad I'm not the only one that's betrayed ye olde faithful Dukan! Lol xx

I'm with you there mini, I can happily drink 2-3 pints of milk everyday (when I'm not on Dukan of course!) xx

Haha maintainer! I have a good reason! I don't get paid til Monday so having to use the food that's currently in the house until then! Thanks bonkers, vlcd are extreme even more so when they are total food replacement, I did slim fast a couple of years ago which weren't too bad as you got to...

Thanks lorlypop! Haha yeah I know, you don't realise how much you actually miss eating food! I will never try a food replacement diet ever again! Yuk yuk yuk xxx

Hi mini :) I used to have a small skinny latte from caffe neros as my Monday morning treat before work as Mondays are always awful, on the other days I would have a Starbucks black coffee and skimmed milk (sometimes I did just cave in and have skinny lattes though!) xxx

Don't worry about it, just pick yourself back up tomorrow and start again :) I cheated quite a few times when I did it in 2012 but the weight came off eventually, albeit it did take me 6 months to lose 2 stone but I got there eventually! Just depends how quick you want your journey to be :)...

Thanks mini :) I've been following your diary too your doing great, 11lb in 1st week is amazing!! Xxx

P.s I've missed reading your diary since it being moved, used to love hearing about little Freddie, I'm no where near 1000 posts yet lol xxx

Thanks Sid :) lesson learnt xxx

*hangs head in shame* Can I come back? Pretty please, I've learnt the grass is NEVER greener on the other side, stick to what you know best from now on Leah!!! Basically the shakes were revolting and I literally couldn't swallow them, it was like drinking sand, I lasted 1 and a half days...

Thanks very much :) so I had the vanilla for breakfast, that was bareable, strawberry for lunch again bareable but nearly made me sick because it had lumps in even though I've done them in the blender :( just had chocolate and that was foul! Had my glass of Shake and a glass of water, I had to...

Well just drinking my first shake and not as bad as I imagined :) I used the vanilla shake with one spoon of coffee, 400ml of water and a few icecubes: Might try 350ml of water later as is quite watery xx

Hi guys, I've been reading all of your diaries for the past 2 weeks and decided to give Lipotrim a go seeing how well your all doing! So about me, my previous diet was Dukan, which I did and lost 2 stone until falling pregnant in January 2013, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Harry on 9th...

Ladies I've flew the nest, I'm starting Lipotrim today. It's a total food replacement diet that you have to go to the chemist weekly for. Because I've got so much more weight to lose this time round I need big quick losses to keep me motivated, and apparently this diet offers that, all being...
