Twinmum - I was doing the dukan diet the same time as you, I remember you from the boards. It helped me lose about a stone quickly but like you really struggled to make it work with my young family, and got fed up with the restrictiveness, cudos to those who stick to it. However, I'm so pleased I joined slimming world, I find it very easy to follow after dukan, so much more flexible. Please stick with it, the weight will come off if you keep to plan, it might just take a while. I've been doing it for 5 weeks now and after a good loss the first week, the others weeks I've lost 1.5lb, slow but steady - which I really believe is the best way. Good luck - I hope it works for you.
