Dukan ? hope so!

Ah thanks Jo, got GP appointment next Friday, dont really want to have any invasive stuff, im a terrible patient, but if i have to i will.

My OH has been having dental difficulties, abscess on the wisdom tooth which after 3 courses of antibiotics, the dentist breaking off the crown of the tooth, and a trip to the local NHS clinic has now been removed. His mouth has been stitched and hes was recovering, then on monday his front tooth fell out!! It wasnt loose before he went to the dentist, when the dentist broke off the crown she whacked his front teeth with the extraction tool. Its now going to cost around £150 for a new tooth!! Its great in our house at the mo!! lol

The excess weight is coming off slow and steady, sometimes i wish it could be quicker, but have to keep reminding myself that this is the most ive ever lost that didn't involve shakes and bars, so that cant be bad. Made a resolve to start back on the exercise from Monday.

Is it me or do other people get a bit fed up with people approaching you and asking if you have lost weight? That sounds really bad, i do, like everyone else, enjoy compliments but some people go over the top and make a meal of it, sometimes i feel like replying with, might have!! whats it to you ? lol Then i think that they thought/think im fat lol which i am. its like when your on a "diet" it seems to give people the ok to comment, and sometimes i don't want them to comment. Is it me just having a off week or do others think this too?? Maybe my tolerance levels are a bit depleted this week!!

Today i forgot it was protein Thursday, in fact i forgot it was Thursday full stop!! Teaching all day so had to be well prepared for today's menu.
B rhubarb and from frais
S choc orange muffins
L Moussaka, ff yogurt
D mashed celeriac carrots turnips, BBQ chicken. FF yogurt

Going to have a protein Friday instead.

Tough week so far huh? Great that you're still notching up those 1lb losses though - slowly off, keeps it off, just remember that!

Think it's tricky about the comments - there's been a few posts about that lately. I suspect if we're in the wrong mood, nothing anyone says will be what we want to hear!

It's a pain that you've not been fully diagnosed yet. It's not knowing that's the worst, but hopefully you'll have more of an idea after next Friday.

You're doing great Colette, keep it up!

Keep up the good work x

When it rains, it pours, I know very cliche but now you've both hopefully got the worst of it behind you so there's no place to go but up and better!
My losses seem to have aligned themselves with yours, 1lb at a time. But like you say, in 52 weeks that's 52 lbs and that's nothing to scoff at

And that's what folks forget, 52 weeks = 52 lb and a wise dukeneer once said....this is a marathon not a race. C and CG we know we will crack it....we have all our Dukan buddies xxx

Hope you will both be fighting fit too - I have every sympathy with MrCPL 2 weeks was bad enough for me. You are doing great if you can diet with negative stuff going on at the mo.
Same here I did get embarrassed when people first started noticing I had lost weight and tbh hated it, to me they were acknowledging how fat I was, now I take it gracefully. I went the village shop before and someone didnt recognise me! I still get negative comments like I did last week at Staff Development I just tell them straight ............ its mainly jealousy anyway.

Well i think normal service has been resumed today!! feel better, my colleague who sits just beside me was feeling under the weather too today, i guess it was a virus going round.

Did a bit of a walk this afternoon in work, about 20 mins, got a bit out of breath so thats a good start to the exercise programme.

Protein Friday today as i forgot yesterday
B yogurt and rhubarb
L salmon fishcakes with balsamic vinegar lime jelly with goji berries and ff vanilla yogurt.
S choc orange muffins
D half a roast chicken,

Last week while shopping in Farmfoods they had a huge bottle of "Slimmer" Sweetener, i thought that will be ok and put it away as you do. Went to use it and it said it had 92g carbohydrate in 100g. Im not sure now if i should be using this, then i looked at the canderel and thats 90 odd percent carbs too!! Are all the sweeteners like this?

Dukan bread and choc orange muffins made for today, OH is clocking my bread, ive told him to keep his mits off!!lol
