Scrumper is he from Melbourne?

Thanks I am thinking that it would be wise that even if I only break 1 meal time with the wine that I should do 2 days of PP.

Good morning to the UK! and Europe. xx

Morning!

It was a lovely day here in Melbourne today and I hope you have one which is similar.

Nice so far, thanks.

First time in 4 days and finally a bowel movement (ok enough said)!! LOL

Hooray for PV days:D.

Jeans went on easy today (since last weekend). Also tried on a dress which hasnt fit since March. It has been too tight around my arms and every time I lifted them it cut into me under the arms. Well not this morning fit beautifully.

Excellent!

Been reading a little more on the Dukan book and just about at the half way mark. It's talking about Stabilization and also when you feel that you cannot go on with CONSO you should stop and go to stabilize and then maintenance. .... This got me thinking that I know at some point I will still go out for dinner with hubby and friends, the weather is really starting to be sunny and outdoorsy, and this will involve a wine (I can stop at 1, not a big drinker). Not that I am planning on breaking my Dukan plan but know that if an occasion arises that I will want to enjoy myself (not go crazy, but still be social).

I've done this regularly:eek:, eating with friends is important to us. I just have the meal (and a drink or maybe 2) and the next day am back on track. What I did do is stick to Dukan at home and only go off-track when invited out, if you are entertaining it should be easy to find Dukan-friendly stuff. I did a couple of PP days together afterwards to minimise weight-gain (and always managed a loss at WI, albeit sometimes tiny). There's no doubt that this has slowed me down though - I should have been at goal 2 weeks ago, but will need another week, maybe more (but I'm moving onto conso next weekend anyway).

So a plan hoping that I will only be breaking 1 meal of the day and will try and opt for fish and salad/vege, along with 1 glass of wine followed by sparkling mineral water for the remainder of the event.

Good plan - you shouldn't go far wrong with that.
What has got me stumped is that in the book when it talks about giving in to temptation you can do 1 or 3 things... one of them says that if you choose to continue with Dukan you will go back to Attack and more or less start a fresh. Has anyone done this? What happened? Was is a full blown several days of binging afterwards or were you back on track after that one meal?

I don't think you do attack more than once. You could do more PP days in a row though but continuing with the same amount of oatbran (rather than the smaller amount in attack) and limiting the tolerated items.

Scrumper is your OH from Melbourne?

I am thinking that if/when i do have a glass of wine, meal should be easy to have fish and salad/veg, I too will do 2 days of PP (attack).

Morning guys!! I JUST got home from spending all night in the dam Emergency room at the hospital with my husband, Yes awake for 24hrs straight so far, and sooo hungry, Could have eaten the nurses!! Thought Id come home for a coffee and jump on here before the kids wake up then eat ,shower and go back again, I so cannot function with no sleep!
Hope you guys have a great day/night xxxxxx
And VERY proud to say TTOTM and I didnt raid the vending machines at the hospital, Thou I was veryyyyyy tempted! I just drunk 2 bottles of diet coke to keep me awake :)
 
oh gosh i hope hes ok hun xxx
well done you for being good
 
Oh Vikki, well done ... But importantly I hope everything is ok with hubby. Enjoy your rest and take care xx
 
Thanks guys, Just gallstones but I know how they feel! We were pushing him aside seeing a specialist so I could get my mum and son's hospital out the way, Done the son, Not my mum but he decides to push in..LOL.
I have a strange question....... How much weight is too much to lose on Dukan? Im loving the weigh coming off but in 4 days another 1.9kgs doesnt sound right, Its now 11.3 in less than 5 weeks, Is that normal??? Just seems like to much and while Im big Im not huge.
xxxxxxxxxxx
 
Blimey Vickki, you're having a rough time of it just now. I hope your hubby is comfortable now. No wonder the weight is flying off you - I wouldn't worry though, it will slow down once you are closer to your true weight (look at my sig - the big losses were in the first few weeks).

Oh the poor thing. I had my gallbladder out lst year and it is an ok op; trouble was it turns out that wasn't what was causing the pain for me as I still get it!! Hope they sort him out. well done for resisting temptation!
 
Vikki hope he passes them soon.... xx

Hi everyone hope we all are having a fab Sunday! We did a full on hour in the veggie patch, was seriously hard work and i kept having to sit down as I was feeling very faint everytime I stood up from bending down for so long.

I have to confess that I had 2 meals out today plus my bran and yoghurt;

Breakfast - scrambled eggs, spinach, mushrooms and half a tomato. (left the bread and gave the hash brown to hubby.

Dinner - grilled fish (it came out will a little oil on it!, not happy), green beens and carrots ( gave the potatoes to hubby) ...... oh and a small (150ml) glass or red wine.

So only 2 meals. It was a PV day and I ate my bran too. Think I have drunk about 1.5ltrs of water? Hope I havent done too much damage and plan to do 2 days of PP now and then back to PV. WI is after 2 days of PP (Wednesday morning). Fingers crossed that I havent reversed my other 4 days of goodness.

Jet , its Vikki's hubby. Lol x... Although yes I do have one. He's from your end of the world, Surry.
 
Vickki hope you get your sleep and other half feels better soon.

Bren looks like you mostly survived eating out.

On the speed of losses, I wouldn't worry, it does come off faster than some diets.

Good to hear Jaqys.! Feel a little bloated, was a PV day also. But not going to WI until Wednesday, my official day.
 
Morning guys :) Yes Husband ok and at work, He ended up coming home AFTER they had stuck needles in his tummy for surgery as they found out we had Private Health cover , The surgeon wouldnt touch him, So NOT happy, Our health fund doesnt cover operations till next mth as we would have had it a year then.......... Have to say I love that our country is free for Dr's and hospitals but when they will not touch you because you have private is not right!! Lucky hes out of pain now just have to book into get them out privately .
Good news kids back at school tomorrow :) Oh I so cant wait!!! Then I can get back to curves to work out again.
Bren good luck with WI :)
Have a good sleep Jet and m-mouse, scrumper and robinhood.
Robinhood is France really romantic like in the movies???? So want to go there and see the Eiffle Tower :)
Ok off to get the kids stuff ready for tomorrow, (They should start on a monday NOT tuesday!!)
Have a great night guys, Have a good day Bren :)
