Long time no post... but I have some news :)

[petal91]

Hi all!
So very very long time no post!
I had quite a hard 2nd half of 2013. As some of you will know (if you remember me) i started Dukan on 12/12/12. Yes, just two weeks before Christmas! However, i stuck by it religiously for 6months and had lost 57lbs good- but not yet tw.
I went on hols, put on 1.5lb. Came back and did 5days of attack which took me through it and my weightloss continued.
However, my health took a bad turn in the second half of 2013 and i put on 7lbs. However, i picked myaelf up and got back on the wagon. I am now at tw and have been for just under 2months
I am not as religious on this phase as i was o the others but not a single pound has gone on, even though i was naughty over Christmas.
I love being very low carb so i dont think i will ever eat a mainly carb diet again- my body feels so much better without them!
Anyway, i am waffling as per usual... just an update and an encouragement for those who are feeling it will never happen. It took 11months but my goodness i feel amazing for being 80lbs lighter! It was so worth it taking longer of a plan which changed my lifestyle rather than on a fad diet.
Oh shush now Petal, you're getting on your own nerves!!
Good luck, keep going and you WILL feel the benefit.
I am starting TurboFire to tone myself up now- my issue iw no longer fat but very very lose skin!!

Bonkers you will definitely get there!!
I am not an inspiration, i am jist proof that Dukan works... and that it can work for anyone!


Everyone is so fed up of me preaching Dukan at them! I have a massive speech that i give to everyone about how everyone believes that it is fat that makes you fat. Then i go on forever about how people dont realise how much sugar and carbohydrates contribute to obesity... blah blah blah!
So there is one downside to being a 'Dukan-ist'. . . I dont think i have many friends anymore haha

Hahahahaha! You just echoed practically everyday of my life! I now run into more ppl who have started noticing the change and oh I can go on and on about dukan and fruit sugar and carbs and good fat!!!

I never know how to get them to understand that cutting out fruits has not hurt me one bit. That it's made me better even!

How bad is the skin? I know at the end of the day there it will mean nothing in comparison to the way I look and feel (at least fully clothed ). But I still brush myself down and moisturise everyday hoping that it helps with lessening the damage! If nothing my skin looks and feels amazing .

Still Trying Petal, trying to shift a stone, on day 2 of attack and lost 1.5lb whoop xxx

Lovely to read you Petal... You mention having lost friends? (Would it be because of the bad breath? Or the nasty smelling flatulence after an overdose on sugar free sweets?)
I too had/have issues about giving up fruit but I keep telling myself, and others too, that fruit was very low on my menu plan when off on a bender anyway so I didn't eat it then either!

 

[DamCil]

Amazing. What an inspiration! I have just started (Monday) and am a total newbie to dukan. You've given me the encouragement to go for it x

 

[ReikiLady]

Inspirational, thank you and well done!!! Xx

I actually read that eating fruit isn't anywhere near as important as eating veg. A ton of veg will do wonders for your skin - as will drinking all that water! I think the government just recommends fruit because its sweeter than veg so more people are likely to eat it.
