Hi everyone

This is my second attempt at Dukan, last time I tried the diet I did have success but ended up changing jobs and moving countries, thus I didn't have the money or will-power to continue.

So... 6 months (and no posting on here) later.. I am once again settled (fingers crossed) and have throughly read the Dukan book Onwards and downwards towards my weight loss goal.

I'm 25, 5'4, 16 stone 7 (yikes) and hoping to lose at least 4 stone. My heighest weight was 18.11, and while I have come a long way, I am in *such* a plateu rut and need to get out of it!

Hope to make new minimins friends on my Dukan journey

Your food's looking good, Elaine. Particularly breakfast!

All the best willpower. Am sure you can do it.

I think the weighing thing is personal ... I like to do it daily, but others prefer a weekly-weigh to get the element of surprise!

So, I think the answer is .... ta da ..... whatever works for you

Hi all

Thanks for the encouragement so far, really appreciate it.
I’m going away this weekend… (to visit the boy, and he’s taking me to the beach!) so any tips would be greatly appreciated… I haven’t told him I’m doing Dukan … yet… the main reason is that he’s a vegetarian!
Think it would be easy enough to just ask for eggs/veggie sasuage (does anyone know if this is allowed on Dukan) or just going to buy some onken and take my oatbran in a tuperwear.
I won’t have finished attack by Saturday, sooo worried about eating out…how will this work while eating out??
On Saturday lunchtime I know I’m definitely going to Nandos (personally think it is WAY overrated and don’t even like it that much – but hey ho, catching up with a friend and it’s her choice…) is it better just to get half a chicken (or the butterfly chicken breasts) and eat that… or get a side of salad/peas and leave the salad?
Sunday I will just order a ‘meat’/’fish’ item from whichever menu and ask for broccoli or something. Eeek so hard!

Anyway, for dinner last night I have lean mince beef cooked with chilli spices … and a slice of ham. Haha, oh the choices!
I ended up putting balsamic vinegar on the beef… so it wasn’t as dry… and this was ironically very nice :]

Today, thus far meals are as follows:

Day 3. Thursday 10[SUP]th[/SUP] May

Breakfast: Onken ff yogurt and my daily allowance of oatbran.
Snack: cottage cheese
Lunch: Praws and cottage cheese
Dinner: Chicken, salmom
Snack: ff yogurt.

I need need NEED to make up a batch of sugar free jelly and bring it in to work. It is the savour of ALL diets, and anyone that hasn’t tried the goodness that is… well you need to!

p.s. has anyone tried 30 Day Shred? Totally starting this
