Thanks cheekychic! I was so scared of putting these up, but need the motivation right now!x

This is me in the summer before I started weighing in at a ridiculous 20stone 11lbs The next 2 are me now, not even half way through weighing in at 18st 11lbs. My waist seems a bit smaller but the photos arent great for comparison. I cant find my original start photos to compare properly :( Oh...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I am doing ok now and have stuck to it 100% :wow: I think (hope) ketosis has kicked in now, because I had my shake at 8.45am, its now 11.30 and im not hungry and ready to pay someone every penny I have to get me chips from across the road!! Its such a difference...

Are there many people on the s&s forums at all? I keep updating my diary type thing on there and then copy and pasting it onto here!! Its a cheat I know but I cant make up my mind which to stick to!

Day one went ok actually!! I struggled a wee bit around dinner time as I decided to make burgers for my family! I dont actually eat meat burgers (i prefer quorn) but even these slabs of minced meat looked and smelt amazing!! But I resisted it all even then! I had a mild chicken curry for tea...

Hi everyone, My first day today! I am nervous/excited!! I have had a porridge for breakie which was ok, but im not really a porridge kinda girl anyhow, so was surprised I enjoyed it! Im planning on having mac cheese for lunch and either a bar or shake around my kids dinner time at 5.30ish then...

Wow wow wow!! Ive been pondering starting s&s but talk myself out of it and go back to other diets which never work for me but you have just totally pursuaded me to go for it. I cant believe the change in you!! I want to have that wow factor!

HI guys and dolls. Well, you were right! I lost my mojo after the weekend!! I was so good at the 30th party and had a big steak before I went and then only ate chicken and a bit of sauce while i was there and about 4 vodka and diet cokes. So i wasnt feeling hungover or anything on the Sunday...

I so do not have time to do a gym workout with two kids under 5! I walk my dog about 15 mis or so, but i always have to take my 2 yr old so i cant go too far! i also live in country lanes so cant go too far in tghe evenings as there are no street lights! oh how i miss civilisation! x

this would so not be as hard if i wasnt trying to give up smoking at the same time!! urgh!

thanks girlies! i am sorry to say i am celebrating with a double salmon steak!! good times!xx

wow, so many great tips, thanks everyone! ive almost read the life plan book now, and will probably revisit it alot, and also the dukan diet recipe book arrived this morning so ill have a look at that in a bit.

damn cavegirl!! i didnt think about that! off to the scales i go!

Well, no need for the uncooked rhubard! my body has had a clear out!! lol!! ;)

Not bad thanks, had major grump on last night so went to bed well early!! My breath stinks too!! But im on day 5 now!! woohoo! so miss vegetables, I have no cravings for chocolate or carbs, just veggies!!:p

I am still 'bunged' up today so I am gona go get some rhubard from marksies in a minute, im hoping they do some kind of cooked rhubard otherwise ill have to eat it raw - im that desperate! If that fails ill have some fibregel when I get home!! I have a desk job so sitting in front of the...

So, do I weigh myself tomorrow morning on the last day of attack or do I wait till the end of the week????

thanks for the tip hun, ill check out her diary, need all the help i can get right now!xx

Hi girls and guys, My Dukan diet is going well ish (I have yet to weigh in since day 1), but today (day 4 on attack) i am super grumpy and feeling sick, physically and mentally over meat! My biggest pain in the ass (see what I did there?!!) is the constipation. Sqeemish people look away...

I bloody hope so! the salmon Ive got for lunch tomorrow is making my stomach turn right now! AND i work opposite a skinny person who will probably be eating a lovely smelling crusty roll with her ham!!!! i might consider plastic surgery!

I am really struggling this evening! I have been ok most of the day then as soon as 5pm came I turned into a grumpy troll and was absolutely ravenous! I am assuming this is the carb withdrawl a bit late? Or maybe im just tired. Im so annoyed coz ive been fine the last couple of days. Ive got an...

thanks girls. I have found I havent been to the shops as much for 'a nice treat'! I did that ALOT!! especially on my work days (tues, weds and fri) as M&S simply food is right next door and everything is lush, and the smell of the fresh bakery is very VERY hard to resist in the mornings...

Is wheat bran an alternative to oat bran or something you can have later in the diet? I am using oat bran to make the pancakes most nights because night times are when Im most hungry and will struggle if i dont fill myself! Ive been coping through the mornings mostly on meat & cottage cheese...

Thanks girls. I will try and only have a couple of drinks when I am out as it very rare that we have all night babysitters for our kiddies so we are making a night of it and staying in a hotel and stuff too!! I will enjoy it as well behaved as I can and then get straight back on plan the next...

Want to be skinny mummy - I know what you mean with the preg weight i piled the weight on with my two. I think i put on 35kg with my first and bout 15kg with my second. I lost some but i seem to be gaining it all again. I m bad with the when you are skinny you are on the skinny side. when you...

HI Willow, I am new to this as well and also like you have lost weight on shakes prior. I gained it all back which is why I am giving Dukan a go, and to be honest I am realy liking it so far! I love your pics, what a great idea! very yummy. I like fish more than meat too, so might give your...

HOw are you doing Sooty? I am on day 2 now and feeling surprisingly good!

Oh, I totally forgot to add, I stood on the scales this morning as it encourages weighing yourself in the book, and ive lost 7 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well chuffed!! I hope this is how it is going to continue! I am a bit worried about Saturday night as I am going to my sister-in-laws 30th party and...

Neonic, I will defo try that next time!!!! thanks!

Thanks Joanne, i will check the ham! I am not a big fan of meat no, I like the taste, I am just very sqeemish and dont like where it has come from!!! I am a very visual person and keep imagining the places it has been chopped off!! I know thats horrid but i cant help it! i drives my hubby mad...

DAY ONE: B - low fat wafer thin ham, l/f cottage cheese and sweetener L - Can of tuna in Spring water and Dukan mayo (yum)! D - Chicken breast and oat bran pancakes S - Chicken breast LQ - Cups of tea with skimmed milk, coke zero and water x 4pints Feeling pretty starving right now, so gona go...

Wow! these are great, i heart the motivational pics, there arent enough of them on the dukan pages, if u ask me!! thanks Loopy!x

Hi chick, I am on my first Dukan Day!! How are you doing? Are you struggling or finding this ok? I am doing pretty ok so far, but ive only had breakie and lunch!! I am struggling a wee bit to think of interesting meal combinations!! I also find it a bit tricky coz Im not a huge fan of meat...

Not sure I could do that!! Do they taste completely different or is it just personal preference??x

That sounds AMAZING!! I am so gona try that when I get to the PP stage! x

HI guys and girls, I have been on minimins for a while and dabbled in various diets but have always failed and resorted back to my old ways. I have always gone for the quick fix diets because the results are so instant and amazing, but the big downside is the lack of actual enjoyable and...

big difference! ur arms are half the size!!x :)

wOW! U look fab! well done! I love your hair in all the pics, the updo is lush! Im going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and may attempt to copy you hairstyle!! x

Wow Trudie, youve done really well! I can cope without the drinks! I just wondered how the odd one will do, as I know it is v restricting on VLCD and I dont want to feel that restricted again as its too much for me, so I like the fact if i do have the odd drink it wont ruin all hope of the lbs...

Thanks hun! Which book is the best one then? I tried to follow your link but it wouldnt work for some reason. I had a look at Dukan on Amazon but there are a few so I wondered if there is a better one to get for newbies such as myself!! x

OOOH and (sorry- another question!!) can I eat any fruit or vegetables during the attack phase?

Sorry to but in on your thread here but I just wanted to say ive really enjoyed reading it! Im just about to start on the 'Dunkin' diet and really want to avoid paying the £300 to sign up officially as Im broke, so its either sign up and not eat or do it alone and buy the food! Although, after...

Hi everyone, I have been trying to do a VLCD for weeks now and keep stopping and starting so Ive come to realise this is no good for me and ive just come across the Dukan diet and thought this could really work for me. The trouble is I want something I can stick to but see results faster than...

Hi all, I have been doing Johnsons up and down days for a few weeks and do great during the week but always manage to cock it up at the weekends and end up not loosing anything, which as u can imagine is very frustrating! So i was thinking about biting the bullet and going back on total solution...

mmm all this talk of food is making me hungry!! Have u tried adding a bag of mint tea to the chocolate shakes? Dont know if that would be horrible or not as I havent tried it...just thinking out loud! there are so many alternatives on here if you look around. Good luck!

Hi all, Ive been attempting to do up and down days until i completely fell off the wagon a couple of weeks ago. I was planning on going back onto Exante or CD but dont think I can do it to be honest!! So I was wondering if anyone has tried the 5:2 diet but in reverse, so 500cals for 5 days and...

Thanks Slim. Ive been reading through some other posts about DD menus and food ideas and discovered its amazing how varied i can be with my 500cals! Its my firstg DD today where i am feeling pretty positive about what I can eat, just had a bowl of muller yogurt and frozen rasberries, which was...

SOUNDS AMAZING!! HOw many prawns do you add?

Lucy, currently I am doing DD on Tues, Thurs and Sun. Havent had a weigh in yet but ill let you know how it goes. My first week i started DD on Mon, Weds, Fri and Sun and lost 10lbs so may go back to that plan but it would be nice to have to DD on Fri and Sat!!! If it works.,...

Hi JUDDers Just wondered if we could start a food ideas and recipes chat? I am really really struggling with my DDs and need to sit and write out some plans for food. So if anyone has any great receipes or menu ideas they wana share I would be forever in your debt!

Thanks everyone!! I am loosing the will to live today!! cant think of anything to eat!!!!

Hi Slim, Its been great reading through your diary and so many things youve said ring true with me! I am now in week 3 of JUDD and struggling a bit coz i cant find anything low enough in cals and i am constantly HUNGRY!! x

Hi girls, its good to see you are doing well on JUDD. I am struggling a bit at the moment. I cant find anything to eat on my DD that is low in cals and I keep finding myself cheating :( I dont know why but I feel proper miserable at the moment!! Mostly on my DD!! ;) My hubby is sat trying to...

Thanks ladies! I have actually lost 10lbs this week which I am well chuffed with! I am sticking around 500cals on DD and eating relatively healthily on UD, which seems to be working well! I dont know if i can fast all day especially when my DDs fall on work days where everyone is scoffing! but...

Thanks ladies. I have weighed this morning after my first week doing JUDD and I have lost 10lbs in a week!!!! i am so so pleased I wana scream it from the rooftop!! I havent been as good as I couldve too, so I am gona be on it big style this week, see if i can hit the stone loss target!

I find if i sit and think about whether I really NEED to eat it?? Am i really hungry?? Or if that fails I down a pint of water and that generally is unsatisfying but it fills me up for awhile longer. I keep thinking 'im not hungry, im thirsty'! dont let this little slip ruin your chances. Move...

Hi Poppy, My heart goes out to you as life really does throw some s**t at us sometimes, it really does seem as though things cant get worse. But, it seems as though you are starting to take control of the situation, so things can only get better. I have struggled with my weight for years and go...

Hi Derbynanny, Do you mind if i ask why your gave up JUDD?? Ive just started the diet and have almost 9 stone to loose, so dont wana waste my time on a diet that wont work long term...

Ive noticed there are loads of before and after pics for people doing other diets, but none for this one.... Does this mean this diet is unsuccessful??? Is there anyone out there willing to inspire me with some pics???!

sounds like youre doing well! im still in my first week, and what a long week its becoming!! Still, must remember - it beats doing the shakes full time!

Hi all, I started off doing Exante diet 100% for a day and was looking though the mini mins forums and discovered up and down days, I thought this suits me great!! I must admit though I am finding the DD a bit of a struggle! I started on Mon with a DD, so now on a Fri I am a DD again and I...

wow! what a change, well done! I love the little slim and save certificates! how did u get them?x

wow! well done! i am currently a size 22 too and the thought of becoming a 14 in only 8 weeks is so fab! just need to get through my first day!!!

Hi, I have just restarted today. I just wanted to wish you luck. It is a great diet with amazing results but it does take determination and resolve! I lost alot of weight, but put it back on coz I got ignorant and pretended I wasnt putting much back on! Im back on it now with a vengence!

You look so much more confident and happy now! amazing transformation!! well done! :)

Oh wow, you really are inspirational! You look so different and about 20 years younger! well done!!

Wow! you look amazing hun! and i love your hair too! very pretty! I hope youre still at it? Be good to hear more from you. Do you have a diary??

Hello again, I joined minimins a while back with the view to do Exante shakes, but i didnt even get past lunch! Christmas has been and left behind a few extra pounds again so I am back on the shakes! I did them a couple of years ago and lost 3 stone but it wasnt enough :( I had a night off for...

Hi Moosey, Its my first day too! Although I am feeling slightly more awake than you i imagine! Kids have a 6th sense about these things dont they! i know my two normally sense when something exciting or significant is coming up and decide to get ill or something!! Anyhow, how are you feeling...

Hi everyone, I am new to this so bear with me! I am starting the Exante diet tomorrow (monday) and am very excited/nervous/anxious amongst other things!! I have done a VLCD before and loved the way it made me feel when the weight was dropping off and the compliments started coming in. I was...
