Hi there! I'm a 54-year-old woman with 4 children at home. Currently weigh 13 st 9lb and, according to Dr Dukan, need to lose 3st 4lb (I actually thought my target weight would be lower, but 10st 5lb feels like a weight I might be able to stabilise at - I've weighed that before).
I was going to register with the Dukan website but it's ridiculously expensive so I'm going it alone, except of course for you guys out there. I don't have the book either, but the rules for each stage seem quite simple.
I started on Friday and by Saturday morning appeared to have lost 2lb. However this morning I had gained 1/2lb. I've been very good about only eating lean meat, prawns, fat-free yoghurt and quark, and 2 eggs a day, plus the obligatory oat bran. My only weakness has been alcohol, and I've had a couple of glasses of white wine each evening. I didn't take any exercise on Friday or Saturday, but went for a 40-minute walk while my daughter played tennis this morning and actually felt better for it - my headache went.
So here I am, on day 3, and I'm intrigued to see how it goes. I plan 5 days on the attack phase, but my mother's coming tomorrow so she might think I'm a bit weird! I'm also quite bored of lumps of protein already - already I've gone right off chicken - so any suggestions on how to spice up foods in the attack phase and on pure protein days to come would be very welcome.
Must go now, things to do!
