So far I have lost 4st 8lb and have noticed a lot of differences and changes in the last seven months. Every time I realise there is yet another change i think about creating this post and this time I have.

I have noticed / realised / changed

Down 3 dress sizes both top and bottom
Boots not as tight on my calves
Rings spin on my fingers
Bracelets are too big
Had to buy new underwear (kind of forget about that one LOL)
I can touch my toes (discovered tonight)
I can bend to pick things up without breathing in first.
I can kneel down without cutting off blood to my knees and
I can stay knelt for longer.
I can reach my hand round the back to the other side (discovered tonight when I was showering, that my left hand can wash my right side LOL)
My daughter puts her arms round me to measure how far she can get...she is now nearly touching her elbows LOL.
I fit in the theatre chair without squeezing.
I walk differently, this is hard to explain. I wear my small heeled boots more now which helps me walk taller
Said boots can be worn for a longer time, instead of half an hour before foot hurts.
My glasses don't rub on my cheeks
I used the vibration plate tonight and notice my bum fit on the plate fully LOL

I'm sure theres more, can't remember them all right now :D
 
My confidence!!! When I was big I used to just hide away under baggy clothes never wanted to go out and socialise!! Love going out now and love clothes shopping!! Before I didn't care what clothes looked like - if it fit I bought it!! Now I love looking at fashions and styles - I'm a totally different person when I'm slim and not just to look at!!! Also love being able to let the bath water out and see it disappear! At my biggest I could pull the plug and still have half the bath water stuck behind me!!!! Sooooo love being slim - dr dukan you are king!!!!!
 
Oooo yes I forgot about the bath. It was actually the reason why i started my very first every diet twenty years ago.

Confidence, well done, it is lovely shopping now. I actually had a light bulb moment earlier today, I was looking thru the avon book and spotted some PJs and I said to hubby, for the first time ever I could actually fit into these if I wanted to buy them. LOL. Its a wonderful moment isn't it.
 
Aw ladies, how lovely. Well done, congratulations. This is just what we need to spur us on (partic as I seem to have come to a halt). Onwards and downwards, somebody said! Whooop!
 
A very good motivating post! :)

I have just under 4 stone to lose and I am struggling this time around I Must admit.

However I did dukan for two months last year and lost 2 stone and I never felt as good. I was even buying clothes getting them home and they were actually too big!! It's a lovely feeling seeing your body shape change and how people react to seeing you look so different.

I hope my stalling doesn't last long and that the weight starts dropping again soon as I can't wait to regain that feeling but this time hope for bigger losses. Iv heard dukan doesn't work aswell second time around but im crossing my fingers that it does lol.

Congratulations ladies you should be extremely proud of yourselves x
 
What a fantasic thread. The changes for me are so similar to your karin. But I would add and I'm sorry if this is tmi but its true....I can wipe my bottom with ease. I no longer pee slightly when I jump up and down I can but knee length boots from cheap high street fashion shops and Im not embarrased when my hubby sees me naked............wow thats quite a personal post from me....:eek:

Excellent post hunni. I have to say I had notice that first myself LOL. I've also noticed my bum doesn;t hang over the sides of the seat either LOL. Not tried the boots yet, but my old boots fit on my calves when I hadn't realised they were tight.
 
Nice one Jellie LOL xx
 
Hello! It's funny I come and find this post as I've just been thinking about this...I've been doing this diet for very nearly a month, and I'm 2lbs off losing a stone and I can't see any difference whatsoever.
My stomach and hips don't seem smaller (this is where all of my fat congregates!), my clothes (apart from jeans perhaps being a little looser) all seem to fit the same, and I don't feel any different!! Anyone else had this?? I can't figure out where the weight has come off of!!! Really should have done measurements...
 
I never measured at the start either, it wasnt till I had lost a couple of stone. I noticed clothes being looser, but it might be that you have lost it from less obvious places. Well done on the loss.
 
We have one very happy girly here in rainy Wales!!!!!

I just decided to try my old size 12 work trousers on, purely because I haven't got any clean for the morning. I wasn't holding out much hope but 2 of the 5 pairs fit me!!! Woohoo!!! Ok so they're a little tight but the still fit!!! I'm not going to wear them to work but I was so pleased.

Anyway, because of this I decided to try on my size 10 50's style (fitted top, flared skirt with netting underneath) dress that I bought months back and have never worn due to the fact that it was too small and couldn't even remotely do it up. That is..... Until today!!! I am so so so happy. So I tried on my 2 other size 10 50's style dresses and they both fit too. One of then hasn't been worn for 2 or 3 years. The other hasn't been worn for well over a year. The good thing about these dresses is that they are very slimming!! When you can get them done up! So I look lovely and slim with them on. I'm still wearing one of them now. Don't want to take it off. Haha.

Off to try some other old clothes on now.xxx
