So this is my 3rd (technically 4th) time attempting to reach my goal weight. I did Lipotrim and Celebrity Slim before, which are TFR's, although you have dinner with CS. With both of those diets I lost weight, a lot of weight, but it inevitably returned and moving to America from Ireland really hasn't helped.
Not only have I had to deal with huge portions and the fact that it's often cheaper to eat out but also homesickness and the comfort eating that brings on. Well thats all stopping now! Hopefully
I've been working with a personal trainer for the last 5 and a half months and seeing great results. I've toned up, I'm stronger and I'm fitter but I haven't lost any weight... So my wonderful PT suggested the Dukan Diet to me and, after looking at it, it seems like a dream come true. I get to eat and lose weight at a fast rate....that's a cake walk compared to LT and CS she says, tempting Fate.
My Attack Phase lasted 6 days and I lost 7.4lbs, 2.2lbs more than the website predicted and I'm pretty sure that's due to an increased metabolic rate from all my exercise :character00115:
Currently I'm on day 3 of my Cruise Phase (only 177 left
) and all is going well so far. My husband is doing the diet with me, despite only needing to lose a sixth the weight I need to lose and I adore him for it! It has made it sooo much easier because he understands the limitations of the diet and we can support each other through it. He will reach the Consolidation Phase in about a month but I know he will still be just as supportive as he is now.
I will reach Consolidation in 25.5weeks time, although I hope to continue with my slightly faster weightloss and reach Conso in 19.5 weeks. I only need to lose and additional 0.5lb a week to do this! :cross:
The reason I want to shorten my Cruise time is because my family is coming to visit and I would love for them to see me slim and toned! It will be the first time they've seen me in person in over a year and I will be the first time they've EVER seen me at a healthy weight with a decent fitness level
