I am on the first day of Cruise (rebooting) and was delighted to finally have salad again. Felt like a gourmet meal at lunch!
I haven't weighed myself as I only weigh myself Fridays and forgot this time round. Also, the last time I did Dukan I did not lose anything in the Attack Phase, but only a few days into the Cruise phase so am guessing this will be similar.
Tomorrow I have to go to a seminar all day and am dreading getting stupid comments because I will be on pure protein. Perhaps I will find a quiet corner somewhere and ignore stupid comments.

I have a headache! It's I just started day 2 of my Attack and my head is pounding. I know it will pass. I just have to really push to get my exercise in. Glad to be in the group.

I am doing a re-doing attack phase (4 day). I started Dukan right before the holidays and lost 8 lbs. Somehow could not keep myself committed on certain days. Back on it for a quick attack.

Please feel free to add (I keep my food journal open and I accept those who do the same ;-)
Cheers!

Hi can I join? I lost 1 1/2 stone on Dukan a couple of years ago & have maintained with a healthy diet & exercise since (in the main!) I relax during school hols & usually put on a few lbs but have put on a few extras this Christmas & would like to lose 7lbs for a beach hol at half term in feb. Have been eating 'sensibly' since new year but not much happening so back on attack today! I am also donig 6w6p. Would value the support & new friends, good luck everyone!

Everyone's doing so well! I have failed my 1st day & had green beans, a bit of fennel & a teeny bit of mayo, otherwise super strict. I have just been on the scales & it's still looking like I'll have no loss tomorrow. Sooo frustrating! Usually a good day like today would really kick start some loss. Re sleeping, I find I sink into such a deep sleep & it takes me a while to come round. Also have found after initial adjustments I have much more energy so stick with it. Another yes to the extra water. I keep a big bottle in the fridge so that I can track how much I've had. Good luck everyone.

Hope you feel better soon :-(

I need to take my car to be serviced and am taking the dog with me as I'll be walking back. It's round the back of the golf course and we've not walked it for months as it's all been underwater around here. Fingers crossed it's clear otherwise what should be a 3-4 mile walk could end up being considerably longer if I have to back track and find a different way lol.

Day 4 and I feel ok. No weight loss this morning though :-(

Walked 4 1/2 miles according to my Fitbit. It wasn't an easy walk either as we've had so much rain here for so many months that it was very boggy. I was wading through mud but Beth (Labrador) absolutely loved it and had a brilliant time bog snorkelling and generally being a loon lol. The book says only to do 20 minutes of walking but I generally do more than that every day walking Beth anyway so I'm assuming it doesn't harm to do more?

I feel tired now and I've got no students this afternoon so I'm contemplating lunch and a soak in the bath.

How's everyone doing?

Hi there! I'd love to join this group. I started Dukan on Monday. I'm on day 4 of the attack phase, currently down 3 lbs. I haven't experienced any of the side effects the book talks about, no headaches or anything. Pretty easy so far. I've done the attack phase multiple times and then never do anything after that point. But this time I am determined to continue on with the diet. I plan on started the next phase tomorrow. So that will be 4 full days on attack. Trying to come up with fun meal ideas already!

Hi all! I have been on MFP for a while now, but very ho hum about it, if you know what I mean. I started the Dukan on Monday (2nd time round, first time I slid back way too quickly) and feel pretty good and down almost 3lb. I would really like to stay on the Attack phase for 7 days..but I''m getting bored with the all protein already. I feel much more clear in the head this week (hmm, carbs or gluten?).

Glad I found you guys

How about some oarbran porridge? I find it quite comforting & I imagine it will be easy on your tum.
I am down to 9 71/2 this am so pretty much back to pre Christmas weight. I plan to eat oatbran for b'fast, eggs/soup/salad w protein for lunch & protein & veg eves. If I'm stalling I will do a day of attack. I am to lose another 1lb a week before I go away in feb. May go more hardcore Dukan if I'm not getting anywhere though, watch this space!!
Good luck everyone.

Well done csullivan! Those look good choices. I found that when I was first eating out I would make sure I wasn't hungry. sounds nuts but if I had a boiled egg or tin of tuna before I went I had no trouble turning down crisps/bread/potatoes/dessert & I didn't feel deprived & wreck the good work. Report back & tell us how you got on.

Hello Gemma, Beth Lab (our beautiful black lab) says hello to JakBuddy :-) . They're really good for getting you out and about aren't they? Lovely beach picture. We're not far from the beach either, on the South Coast of England.

I've just come on to say 'whoooohoooo'. 5lbs down since Monday on the attack phase and I'm really pleased. That isn't even just pure 'bloat' as I'd already lost a couple of pounds the previous week under my own steam while I was preparing myself to do Dukan.

I have to say, I've felt really good, no headaches or anything and I feel full of energy. Conversely, I'm sleeping really well and this is from an insomniac who often only logs 4 hours of sleep a night.

Onto Cruise phase today so we'll see how it goes from here. I may have a little stall as we''re off to France skiing on Saturday. The good thing is that I won't be on my normal ski holiday carb overload as I've been diagnosed with a wheat allergy since we last went. The French don't believe in wheat/gluten problems, especially not in the mountains lol, so I won't be eating pasta or baguettes as usual. I can see lots of omelettes and salads instead so the food should be too bad (and I will be doing huge amounts of exercise). It'll be the quantities of red wine that might be the problem!
