thats what im having for tea Jo - minus the stir fry!

Jet now are you taking your oatbran away or not?

 

[Pink_Fluff]

mmmm I love my mustard, have a little mixed in with quark, its amazing!

 

[jet1968]

vicks ,yes im taking my oatbran !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cherl889]

Jet, your a good girl, have a gold star. Have 3 if you take it and use it and a great 2 if you dont..................Your on hoilday for goodness sake. You can still go and be good but please allow for a few treats. I was told my a very wise friend of mine (guess who that was) that i have worked hard and saved all year for 2wks, enjoy them. Lol

 

[Maintainer]

I hear you Cheryl, but I have regained all I've lost and more besides on holiday... and that's just so horrible!! So I understand if Jet wants to be careful. Perhaps not "Dukan careful", cos that could be tough in a hotel, but no need to go too crazy perhaps?

Getting back on this sort of thing isn't always easy after a break either...

 

[cherl889]

No its not. I was very lucky only gaining 3lbs after 2wks, Caz gained 5lb after a week of eating burgers and chips, lol. I think if Jet wants to be good then thats fab but shes on hol allow a treat, even if its a huge slice of melon.

 

[Maintainer]

2lbs in 3 weeks is amazing... you weighed yourself the morning after your return?

(I usually gain a stone per week)

 

[cherl889]

3lb in 2wks. Not quite, i done the pregnancy test the night i got home and were still in shock the next morning it had happened so quickly so i wi the day after. Im being good as ive sts since

 

[Maintainer]

That's still excellent. Most "normal" people (haaaa!) don't weigh themselves when they get back from holiday - only restarting dieters!

 

[cherl889]

Are you saying im not normal Joanne???

 

[Maintainer]

<holiday... eating... home... weighing 2nd day?>

Nope... no more than me!

Normal people wait a week for the dust to settle...

 

[cherl889]

Lol. I couldnt wait. I was never able to stand on the scales now im so obsessed i get on them everyday if not morning (sometimes noon) and night!

 

[Maintainer]

I know... one major criticism I have with Dukan... I too used to be perfectly happy with a weekly weigh in, where you usually saw results and rarely had bad news if unjustified!

I try to get people out of daily weighing before Consolidation phase - for their (and my!) sanity cos the news is rarely good...

 

[cherl889]

Ahh but in our book he tells us to wi daily

 

[Maintainer]

in ours too... as I said, a bone I have to pick with him!! (He's not around to deal with people's mood swings when they see nasty things on "ginette" as that beast is commonly known on the website I frequent!)

 

[cherl889]

I think we shoul have a Mr dukan and Joanne stand off........I know who im backing (and its not him!)

 

[LVLLM]

or in mine and cheryls case 'weigh in 3 times daily at least'

 

[cherl889]

I think we are the extreme case though hun. We have an ocd!

 

[Maintainer]

The trouble is he comes across as being a really NICE person... and people in white coats make me lose my attitude...

I'd turn into mush on his floor... (IF I could afford his consultation fee!)

If you can weigh yourselves three times a day without freaking out at every fluctuation, carry on girls!! GO FOR IT!

Most, alas, can't... and while ALL enjoy the downturns of the scales, the upturns cause some angst!

 

[cherl889]

Haha, white coat syndrome!!!!
I think it can help sometimes Jo. We can see what is fluctuation and know when its actual gain but wi lots
