I know it's hard but slower loss is actually better in the long run. Have you had much salty food - stock, soy sauce, processed meat, bacon? Is it the TOTM when you hold water? Have you, truly, truly, eaten enough protein? Did you weigh after a PV? Just a few ideas.

Hi Mrs Hop, I so know how you feel. I follow a very clear pattern of good losses then long stall's inspite of me being extra good. I get down and moan about it everytime the scales don't move (much to my minimins friends dismay I am sure). I just can't get used to the idea that my body takes a while to adjust itself. So i moan then I jump up and down with joy than i moan some more, it's a fabulous roller coaster of a ride 
Keep your head down and ignore those pesky scales , good luck xx

aw hun, I may be new to Dukan but I'm definately not new to dieting. Its always hard when the weight doesn't move, but it will move again, the engine has just stalled a bit, give yourself a treat of some kind, a nice bubble bath, film to watch or something like that. Hugs hun, xx
Thanks for the support everyone! I weighed the morning after a PV day could this make a difference. I ate asparagus that day aswell which I thought would help?! I've eaten lots of protein. I have a fair bit of smoked salmon and tinned tuna and I. Have crabsticks and sugarfree jelly most days could this make a difference? My weight has fluctuated by a few pounds all week by as much as 4 pounds some days but I decided not to get too upset and wait until thursday morning as this is the day I have scheduled as my weigh in day. Does anyone elses weight fluctuate like that?SarahX

Hi Sarah, have you shared your actual menus/food intake with some very rough in indication of quantities somewhere, in a diary, or on the menus thread at the top. Then we might be able to see if there is a problem somewhere. These can sneak up on you unaware - yoghurt with hidden sugars, prepared meats with hidden carbs, the list of potential pitfalls is endless...
If you know you have been 100% following the rules to the letter then don't give up, the loss will happen, mine always did in 5-7day spurts, in between my weight would stall or even go up!
