firstly i will say ... hello
secondly i waill say ... wow have you guys tried the dukan diet, i am amazed!
Right i will begin at the beginning and tell you what has happend.
i am 32 i am 5 ft 2 " and have always struggled with my weight. it has varied from about 7 stone (4.45 kilo)in my early 20's (im sure i had an eating disorder, i hardly ate) all the way up to now where i was 12 stones 4 lb (78.74 kilo) i have tried a whole variety of diets but for this reason or that reason could never stick to them.
2 weeks ago after a whole month of reading about the dukan, with the same vigour as i usually do before starting a new diet praying this will be the one that works (lol) i decided to give it a shot.
So off to the shops i went, and home i came with lots of meat for my first five days of the attack phase.
I decided not to continously weigh myself during this phase as going up anjd down would lead me to continuously scrutinise myself and everything i was eating. i decided to just roll with it!
Day one and i was expecting it to be excruciating, however much to my surprise it wasnt that bad. the same thing happened on day two, and so on and so forth. there was a few side affects like my breath smelt rank and i needed to wee a lot, but this had been highlighted in the book and so i had prepared myself with sugarfree gum ect.
At the end day i hopped on the scales full of excitement and hope as you do with the first scales visit on any diet.
Peering down to my toes and looking at the numbers change ... i honestly thought the scales had broke. so i re-weighed myself, and again. i even went into town to use the scales at my local boots pharmacy and they gave the same reading,
which to my surprise was .. 11 stones 2lb (71.1 kilo) i must admit i felt like i had lost weight but i couldn't believe it i am so excited, i keep telling every one i know, this diet is amazing. i love it i dont feel hungry, i enjoy the food ok so the attack phase is a little limited but hey it wasn't bad.
so now im on the cruise phase and into week 2 i am loving everything so far will keep you informed on my weight loss journey.
after every weigh in i will post on here to let you know how its going. and inbetween with recipes and my mad ideas or dramas that i have.
........fingers crossed me and dukan become lifelong partners eh?
