Sounds good advice to me! I do think that milk seems to slow me down. Going to try and consume in sensible quantities! I'm one of those people that the words "unlimited food/drink" is dangerous for as I take it literally. :)

Thank you! Day 4 over and appetite definitely slowing down! tomorrow a PP day... Yippeeee! Salmon and steak day :D

yep. I thought I'd got by without the dreaded head ache, then this morning i had the "hangover"!! I find a really good walk, loads of water and ibuprofen kicks it into touch by lunch time

Cheers Pauline! I'll give it a whirl then. I really like it. And logically surely it has to be better?? When i put my stats for the day into Mfp I'm doing about 30 carbs a day of skimmed milk. If i have the equivalent on almond milk i have less that 1g carbs! So I can still have a fair few...

I've looked through this forum and others and there seems to be some grey area on Almond milk (unsweetened). Some forums say YAY! and some say NAY.. Has anyone had any success/ lack of success through using it. Having looked at the statts for it per 100 ml it is lower than skimmed milk in...

Day 4 of My New determined diet. Been good and went to an aerobics class last night. Couldn't be arsed at all, but got through it some how. then had a gentle swim this morning and a walk with the dog for an hour.. Definitely an improvement on doing zero movement!! Decided to go into CRUISE...

Skinny latte, just microwave skimmed milk for 2 mins, whisk in some coffee powder and sweetener, whisk it up a bit if you like it cappucino frothy and voilla - skinny latte! I'm going to miss them as starting cruise and the milk is much more limited :(

That looks awesome. Getting a bit bored of yoghurt now. This is definitely going on tomorrows menu!!!

I know. I cant wait to get into Cruise.. Made some dead nice pizza with an oat bran base. Was lovely and almost like a real pizza! Nearly finished day 3 of new attack now. ploughed my way through 2 fillet steaks, 4 salmon fillets 2 haddock fillets skimmed milk latte couple of spoons of low fat...

Carbs are indeed incredibly powerful for some people! Sounds like you are doing fab! The thing I love with this is that even if I do go completely beserk and binge, I can't do any real damage as long as I eat protein!! I actually like fromage frais with sweetener as well. And I love oatbran...

Good luck. I don't think dukan can really be done with eating "normally" on a weekend. I've tried bending the rules before with it and it is not very forgiving!! Sounds like you are going to do well this time!SD

Day 3 of new attack. I now weigh in at 17.stone 12.8 which is 4 pounds down so far. Thank the lord! 2 weeks to spanish holiday so would be fab if I could get as close to 17stone 7 as possible. I feel in controll today. Had a nice skimmed milk latte and salmon and steak today so far. I am going...

Yes let's do it this time!! Carbs are so so bad aren't they!!! - Lesson learnt however.! never ever cheating againxx

Thanks Pauline!! Carbs just don't agree with me.. The other day was scary.. I had 4 slices of weight watchers bread over the course of a morning, and it was like someone had flicked a switch.! Controll just went out of the window. I was like the very hungry caterpillar! Anyway, day two. Latte...

:p​Right I'm re-starting my diary and diet. I Started in January on Dukan at 18stone odd.. I then lost 10 pounds, then switched to slimming world. Then switched to weight watchers, then switched back to dukan, then switched to Cambridge diet, then switched to Dr Atkins.... etceterrrrrra! And I...

Only just in the 17's at 17.13:( Been struggling to shift any since new year. lost a couple of pounds and it keeps upping and downing again! re joined sw and working out like mad so hopefully can get down into the sixteens pretty soon!!!

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this. If so I apologise for repeating something. However I did a quick search and couldn't find anything relating to this product! I rejoined slimming world and noticed that you can have 875ml of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze milk! I've not tried it yet but...

Good luck, i'm starting again today with attack. it's amazing how quicly the weight goes back on, but how slow it can be to come off!! i'm going to google the marine comando diet xx

If you are not feeling well then there is no point pushing your poor body to do things it doesn't want to. If you've had a walk and some fresh air, I'd leave the shred until you are feeling properly up to it xxx

That's a fab loss. I'd stick to it if that is what they advised. As long as you are not finding it too hard then you may find you can drop another pound or 2 before end of attack xx

I got a valentines text and the offer of a coffee of him at lunch time. .... I declined. Onwards and upwards haha!

Attack - Restart Day 1 today So far I;ve had 3x skimmed milk latte 5 x skinless, boneless and trimmed of all fat chicken thighs with fat free yoghurt and herb dressing 5 pints of lovely cold water Going for a 2 hour walk shortly For dinner I'm going to have a fillet steak with fat free yoghurt...

haha thanks Pauline!! I am feeling very determined !!:)X

I'm starting attack again today. I came off Dukan after my first week in cruise a month ago. I thought it would be easier to do slimming world. However I have totally lost controll again! This week I made a batch of butterfly buns and ate them in one day!! I've eaten 4 bounty bars and about ten...

Thank u all xxx

Hi everyone. I've just managed to lose 6 pounds on Dukan (bloody hard work!) - I'm now coming onto Slimming world. I weight 18 stone dead and want to get below the 17's as soon as possible. I'm a good size 20 at the moment and not looking or feeling good about myself!! sarah x

Right I've done one day less than 2 weeks on Dukan now. I've lost 6 pounds. Being honest with the amount of exercise I'm doing, the weight I'm at and the amount of sacrifices I'm making, I'm not hugely impressed. At 18 stone 6 I can normally drop half a stone in a week just at slimming world or...

sounds really nice!! I'm gonna try tomorrow :)X

Good luck!! The diets great! xxx

Thank you for your advice and help! I've cut right back on the dairy now and just having it in tea . getting stuck into lots of green tea instead and also just one can of diet coke, caffeine free a day!! filled my details out now :)X

Thanks!! Think i chose a bad brand!! xx

Don't beat yourself up about it. Every body makes the odd blip to start with! Try and stick with totally fresh/unprocessed food and any thing you add flavours wise be very very cautious!! To start with I found it easier to just keep things simple. i make curry dip out of lowest fat natural...

Sounds like you're doing really well! if you go on the dukan website you can put your stats in and it'll tell you how many days you need to do in attack. most people do about 5 although some do a few more. it depends how many pounds you have to lose. if you have less than 40 lb to lose you are...

I now know why my weight fluctuated and didn't drop! It's not the diet, it's not the milk its my bleeping TOTM!!!! In absolute agony today , yuk! i was on the depo injection til 5 months ago so didn't even realise it was totm time. It all makes sense now though!! I can go up half a stone quite...

Thanks Joanne, on pp again today. Will make an effort to be protein orientated tomorrow. Will be more careful with tinned foods in future!! I'm sure in the long term its not the end of the world!! just makes you realise that processed food in any form has to be checked!:(:( xx

AGHGAHGAAHGH - before any one even says anything I've just looked up the bleeping tinned tomato's, they contain bleeping sugar!!! Going to go and kick the rest of the tins around the garden in the snow and burn the excess sugar out of my system!!!! Oh well, I live and learn lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Nykki, that sounds about right!! I seemed to lose 4 pounds over night then it slowed right off!!! 5 lbs in 3 days is awesome!! You'll wake up soon and find you have practically zero appetite and the cravings just go right away. Is definitely worth the initial struggle!! xxx

Cruise - PV Day today Breakfast half a gallette filled with mushrooms and cherry tomato's dry fried, and 3 turkey rashers, and 2 dry fried eggs Lunch - other half a gallette filled with rocket and tomato salad, one spoon low fat creme fraiche flavoured with curry powder and sliced chicken breast...

Try not to worry too much. I'm just out of attack and at the very end of first week, my weight has fluctuated and even went up at one point. I think some of us just hold on to it more than others. Stick with it and I'm sure we can get through the stalls !!X

End of First week, wasn't going to weigh this morning but thought I would and then not weighing myself now for a full week! weight fluctuating which annoying me down one pound of the 2 i'd put on am 18.2 this morning really want to be in the 17's by next week. cruisey woosey day today. off to...

Official weigh in day, End of first week, started last Monday! 4 pound weight loss , weight fluctuated through attack. Anyway Good start!!! :-):cool:

PP Day Recording all as weight fluctuating irritatingly :-( Breakfast - 2 x poached egg, dukan (1 tbls spoon oatbran) gallette and 3 turkey rashers lunch - a chicken breast grilled with chives sprinkled on it with a tablespoon of low fat cottage cheese dinner - fillet steak cooked on "george...

thank you all!! you are all right. new plan is weekly weighing! just walked 6 miles and did it in bloody wellies! my feet feel like they've been skinned!! Anyway good start for a fresh week!! Drinking green tea with a dash of peppermint. i hope it's allowed. is quite refreshing!

Right I'm proper fe ck ed off!!! Now weighing in at 18 stone 3. That's more bloody weight on over night. My stupid fat pork product body is clearly refusing to let go of the weight. I did first cruise day yesterday and did kind of worry this would happen. I am thinking I might be one of those...

just added you. (Sarah S) x

I'm glad it's not just me then!!! I kind of really don't know what to do with myself!!! I'm stone cold sober and feel too lively to sit quietly and read and watch telly!!! I'm f booking and wondering how quick i can get this weight off!!! Not helping my mates keep texting to tell me what a fab...

I tried the butter buds from lakeland, thought they were a bit powdery tasting. The frylight buttery is really nice (well obviously not as nice as butter)!! I used to spritz it on mushrooms and they tasted so much nicer than dry frying or plain fry light. x

Asda low fat soft cheese has lower values on all nutritional information than philladelphia extra light, which i believe is a tollerated product. Yet it's only 50p !!! (not sure if it's edible yet tho)!!! Also amazingly enough fillet steaks in m and s are only £8 for two and they are dead nice...

I'm at about the same stage you are, just venturing into cruise.. I ate out today at a normal restaurant, I had a starter portion of sea base to start with and then ordered fillet steak, when they asked what I wanted with it I chose mushrooms and told them to give me a salad on the side instead...

Had first day of Cruise and feel fine. Had steak and spinach for lunch and actually drank water and diet coke on a meal out!! This is a first for me probably every. Felt really weird driving home. I kept looking in the mirror worrying I was gonna get done for drink driving, then remembering that...

Thanks Munchkin71!! you're right. If I'd lost the weight on ww or sw in a week I'd be happy. I'm wanting over night miracles! I'm going to start adding some onions and veggies later. Still gonna keep an eye on my skimmed milk intake!! xxx

Start of day six and I'm really annoyed - i've only gone and put weight on :( Gond on scales this morning, Initially I was two pounds heavier, now after a shower and a wee I'm one pound heavier!!! in theory i finished attack yesterday. i still aren't sure the skimmed milk doesn't agree with me...

i'm confused as well!! I thought skimmed milk was unlimited in attack, but have also read somewhere that skimmed milk in attack is limited to 1ltre! i'm loving doing Dukan Attack and thankfully like you am nearly at the end of Attack phase. There does seem to be loads of conflicting advice...

it makes a mockery of the whole website!! god help the poor sods who've paid money to use the service!!! it's so confusing!!

I must admit half of the c rap on there seemed to contradict the stuff in the book!! Day 5 of Attack: Yuk yuk and yuk.... I've woken up with a hangover. Like a serious hangover!!! Yet not a drop of booze has passed my lips. I thought I'd got off lightly. Clearly it's taken longer than normal to...

Good luck! I'm on day 4 so similar time scale to you!! Is definitely better than Atkins. I always felt really bloated and greasy after eating atkins food. This seems stricter but once you get your head round the rules it is easy!! Hope you continue to do well with your attack!! :)

Went to Lidl yesterday and their meat was really good value. bought smoked salmon which was in massive package and two roast chickens and some lean chicken breasts. seem to be quite a good option for fresh meat/fish on a reasonable budget.

Attack Day 3 I had Turkey Rashers and Poached egg for Breaky 2 x skimmed milk coffee lots of diet coke 2 litres of water lunch was a gallette with salmon and curry flavoured yoghurt dressing dinner i had 2 fillet steak and 2 pieces of calfs liver stuffed!!!

wow!! well done!! it's so motivational to see people doing well on this diet !!!

Thank you all for your welcome!!! Day 4 of Dukan! No movement on scales this morning but 5 pounds down since I started attack so not too worried. Today however I just can't face eating!! I've had two skimmed milk coffee's and a litre of water but nothing is tempting me! Just not hungry at...

I might try that tomorrow with skimmed milk. I'm also having a fair few skimmed milk coffee's. It doensn't say in book that there's a limit on skimmed milk in attack so I hope I'm not over doing it with them!! Seems maybe too good to be true though !!

Today is the start of day 3. I am only starting my diary today as I didn't think I'd be able to stick to it!! First two days gone dead well and the hardest thing is not having a glass of vino on a night!! I'm having smoked salmon omelettes for breakfast then grazing through out the day on...

Hi everyone. I started yesterday! Been really good and just drinking water/diet coke and lots of salmon and chicken. Struggling with something to moisten it with though. I am going to experiment with low fat natural yoghurt and herbs tonight. I'm aiming to do 5 days of attack. Really hoping that...
