Hello folks,
I've been loitering around the site for a couple of weeks (!!) and everyone advises on starting a diary, so here goes! My name's Joodle, am 38 and single (sob!
). Had lost 7lbs before starting Dukan 2 weeks ago and since then I've lost another 4lbs. Although I've not been able to weigh myself since Wednesday so it might be a bit less than that now...or a bit more...eek!!
I'm not hugely overweight but I'm short (just over 5 foot) so every pound really shows and I can't fit into about 80% of my clothes. Hence the determined diet action!
Dukan appealed because I've lost weight with Atkins before but the high fat content worried me a bit. I also like the idea of the consolidation phase with Dukan, although am finding it hard to remember that even when (yes, when!) I have reached target, I've still got to be quite strict.
Here's my food diary from yesterday. By the way, I don't eat meat or poultry but I do eat fish and seafood.
B: 150g total 0% yoghurt, 1 tbsp oatbran, 1 lemon muffin (containing 1 tbsp oatbran), decaf coffee
L: slice smoked salmon, salad of lettuce, fat free roast veg (roasted with few squirts of oil/water spray) and and tom yum soup with quorn chunks and mushrooms.
D:courgette 'quiche' made with grated courgette & onion, egg, fromage frais & quark, 75g smoked tofu, asparagus
WW propoints: 23
Am having to have a few PV days in a row as I'm up visiting my parents and they will not be happy if they think I'm only eating protein, even if I explain. Did 2 PP days in a row before coming up and will do the same once I'm back. Terrified of returning after 5 days away and finding the scales have gone up!! But I've been dead good and resisted the wine and cheese we usually have when I'm up so let's see.
Thanks for reading and thanks to everyone else who's written diaries - they're super helpful and you're all an inspiration!!
