Hi Everyone!
I'm new on here but 3.5 weeks into Dukaning. I lost 4.8lbs wk1, 1.2lbs wk2 but only 0.2lb last week (I weigh on a Wednesday), so I was browsing the internet looking for things like ... which yoghurts are best, what about ham, etc etc and came across this site. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some tips and keep on the straight and narrow despite disappointing weigh-ins.
I think my body is probably quite diet resistant after the way I've abused it over the years. I'm 58 now. The first time I joined a slimming club I was 20 and weighed 10st 7lbs .... Oh My! What I wouldn't give to have never started! That's where I want to be now! Over the (very many) dieting years I've been as high as 15st9.5lbs and as low as 8st10lbs. I seem to be able to stabilise around 10 and a half for a while before going up again. Or I should say I USED to be able to. The older you get the harder it gets - that's just a fact unfortunately.
Anyway, this time I think I managed to put the brakes on before it all got TOO much out of hand, but I do have a little way to go. I hope, with your help (?) I'll be able to stick at it and hopefully offer some support as well.
By the way - re the yoghurts ... it seems that 0% natural, flavoured myself may be the way to go ....
- this could be where I've been going wrong. Up to now I've had Shape vanilla and vanilla with choc sprinkles, Muller coconut greek style and Activia vanilla. The Activia were the lowest added sugar that I could find so thought I'd done the right think changing from the Shape ones but reading posts on here it seems that may have been a bad decision. I have 1 a day for 4 days a week and 2 a day on the other 3 when I take one to work as well as having one in the evening.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to any comments and tips you may have.
