Finally Friday!! YAY for the weekend. I'm tired! 3rd day in a row of boot camp today. We got to box today.....love hitting that heavy bag!
Weight loss seems to be stuck right now, but 13 pounds in 5 weeks is nothing to sneeze at! I'm looking forward to a bit of rest this weekend. I need some time to decompress!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Hi all, I restarted Dukan yesterday and was down 3.5 lbs this am. A great motivator to keep going. I lost 40lbs doing Dukan Sep 2011 thru May 2012 but fell off the plan AND stopped exercising so I gained 20lbs back. Glad to see this support group on here. Hopefully this time I will go all the way to maintenance and learn how to keep my wight under control. Hope you all have a great Dukan weekend.0

Hi Diva! Glad to have you here. You had great success with Dukan in the past and I'm sure you'll get back to your goal in no time.
I went to boot camp yesterday morning and it was really rough. 4 days in a row is just too much for this old body! ;-) I made it thru, but wow. We had our official weigh in for the challenge yesterday morning and I'm down 14.4 lbs so far. I'd really like to lose 20-25 lbs in the 12 weeks of the challenge. The first 8 lbs came off in the first week and its been slow since then. There are 45 people in the challenge so my chances of winning are not great. There are a couple men in the group and we all know that they can lose weight faster than we can. Of course, they have to do it! I can't control what they do, only what I do. I forget what all the prizes are for the winner of the challenge, but the main one is an iPad mini. I don't really need one, but who doesn't like a new gadget? LOL!
Just doing domestic stuff today. Laundry & groceries etc. I actually love a day of just puttering around the house.
Have a good one all!

Thank you for the tips - found some Lemon Seasoning which is great in the oat Bran Pancakes and have been using lots of marinade and seasoning - never though of wine and beer - will definitely try some of those. Last day of my attack phase - so excited for some veg tomorrow - only down 4 pounds which I found a bit disappointing but will soldier on! Have a great week everyone!0

Good Morning!
Another rest day for me as we had freezing rain early this morning and I wasn't about to drive...or try to walk! in that. I'll be back at it tomorrow morning.
Scale is slowly inching down. 14.5 gone now since Jan 5. Would love to be down another 7 or 8 by the end of February, but I'll have to take what I get.
Hope you all have a great beginning to your week!

Well the start of week 4 on Dukan and after 7 days of the attack I am on the p/p and p/v! Down 14lbs in total since I started. Of course, VERY happy that I have gotten rid of this but I am now at the weight when I started on MFP. Hence the reason you don't see any updates on the loss amount. Still another 50lbs to get where I really want to be and I must say there are good days and bads with the motivation though not cheating.
What is really strange is that I try to weigh every friday and not jump on and off the scale daily though Dukan does say that you should so you can see the variation with the weight and water retention etc..anyway last wednesday, I got on and it had not moved so felt REALLY deflated then got on friday and 4lbs were gone. I thought I was seeing wrong, I kept pressing reset just to make sure.
Anyway, that's where I am at!!!!
Have a great week everyone......0 -
Good morning all!
I am on day 6 of attack and down 6#s - really happy with that. I am going to stay on attack until Friday when I head to Chicago for a 4 day weekend. I'm pretty sure I will be able to stay on program although I may do for veg & protein days in a row and then do 4 pure protein days when I get back. Glad to hear everyone else is doing well.0 -
Awesome job on the Attack phase people!! You are rockin' it! Good luck as you move forward.
Great, sweaty workout this morning at boot camp. Looking forward to tomorrow's "torture" LOL!
Not much else going on with me. Making some sort of fish for dinner tonight as its a PP day for me. Hmmm.........maybe I shouldn't be having tuna for lunch? Oh well..........its a fishy day! ;-)
Make it a good one!

My husband cooked nice dukan style roast chicken tonight! Very nice to come home to nice freshly roasted chicken.0

Crazy day at boot camp. I did my best, but it was nuts!! Extra credit for going on my birthday, right? ;-)
Out for dinner tonight to celebrate. I'm planning broiled seafood & salad.......oh and at least 1 low carb beer! Scale was down 2 lbs today, but I know they'll be back after today so I'm not recording them. I'll wait till I see that number again.
Have a great day!

Hello!
New to this group as of this morning, figured I would post a little something here too.
Im on my 8th day into Dukan, 6th day of the cruise phase... and I've been stuck at the same weight for 3 days now. Is it just me, or do you all feel really disappointed when you don't lose anything after a PP day? Hate that!
My stomach is kind of bothering me for the first time since I started the diet, Im assuming it has something to do with me not sticking with the oat bran. Actually I think i've only had the oat bran 2 days since I started it. I just have no idea what to do with it! I dont like it in my yogurt (its the texture i think) so I am open to suggestions if anyone has some!
Well I look forward to getting to know you all, and seeing your daily progress. Have a great day!

Hi all! Welcome new members since my last post.
Hey poliro22 - I would go a couple of weeks with no lost and then bam, 2-3 pounds just fell off.
On the oat bran, try making the oat bran muffins or brioche , they are pretty good... I liked the pancakes so I made them quite often.
I am maintaining away now on month 14.5 of dukan. I do log my calories still!0 -
Good Morning!
Spent all day yesterday with a raging headache and still have a dull ache this morning. Quite annoying! I did an experiment this week and logged my food. WOW....my calories are low! Every day the food log warns me that I'm not eating enough. I even started eating some off plan things to try to boost my calories. I really need to eat more veggies...I've been terrible at that.
Going out to dinner tonight and I'm going to eat whatever strikes my fancy. Chicken Marsala and yes, maybe a bit of pasta. I'll be back to plan on Sunday, but for one meal today......freedom! :-)
Hope you all have a great weekend!

I had the same issue, but i doubled down on protein like the dukan diet book says...worked great0 -
Happy Monday!
A sunny but cold day here in PA. I'm SO ready for Spring. I play golf, so the winter is torture for me! I'm ready to be out on the course!
I thought I ate too much this weekend, but the scale was down another 1/2 lb this morning! I'll take it! We had our official boot camp challenge weigh in on Saturday and I'm down 17 lbs in 6 weeks. 6 more weeks in the challenge. My goal was 25 lbs....I think I just may do it! YAY!
I had my Chicken Marsala on Saturday night and it was heaven! I even ate a small serving of Angel Hair pasta with it and enjoyed every mouthful!
Off for a long weekend with my sister starting Friday. We usually do pretty well with our eating so I'm not too worried. The biggest "sin" will be a few low carb beers. The last time I spent a weekend with her I lost 1.5 lbs! I guess I can't expect that again, but even a maintain will be a win!
Have a great week everyone!

Good morning! Going for my wellness humana vitality check this morning! Fasting till they draw blood... Dying for some coffee0

Had 3 good boot camp workouts this week. Each one harder than the next! Whew!!
Off to my sister's after work today. Can't wait!
Status quo on the weight loss front. Digestive system is a bit sluggish this week. IYKWIM
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Monday! I am back from vacation and ready to be at work!0

WOW! Haven't been here in awhile! Where do the days go? I'm doing well...still boot camping and losing weight slowly. I hit the magic 20 lbs lost on Saturday! Now just have to lose that much 2 more times and I'll be golden! ;-)
How are you all doing?
Lori0 -
Hey Lori!
I am doing great. Congrats on your magic 20 lbs lost! Keep going - you are already golden!0 -
Hello Everyone,
I started this diet on Monday and in the process of the attack phase I lose 6 pounds. But yesterday I broke it. I have chocolate and a burger (no bun) but still it was Mcdonalds. Because I live in ecuador and some ingredients are not easy to find I haven’t been able to give myself much variety to the diet. I’m so upset with myself.
Did you find that if you did a full day a protein it helped you jumpstart back to the diet?0 -
Happy Saturday Morning!
Starting my day with my favorite Cruise Phase breakfast - two oat bran gallettes smeared withtwo tablespoons of fat free cream cheese, and an egg over easy on top! YUM!
For those of you that go longer than 4 days on Attack - yikes, I respect you as I wouldn't have made it longer than the 3 days I was on it. Even though I have been through all four phases and am on the fourth phase, I fall back on cruise phase guidelines because they are so easy to follow.
Have a great Dukan Lifestyle Day!0 -
Hi - I just joined this group - 1st group I've joined on MFP. I tried Dukan last year & it worked well, but I gave up after a few tough days, and fast forward a year or so . . .
I'm on Day 1 of Attack phase. I'm not a big protein or meat eater, so it's been a lot of yoghurt & egg whites. Can't wait to have the gallette for dinner. Any tips to help me hang on for 4 or 5 days in this phase? Or should I just do 3?0 -

I did three days of attack. Cruise was the easiest plan ever for me. I ate a lot of turkey , and steamed shrimp on attack0 -
Thanks for the tips. I'm on Day 3 of Attack, and I'll start Cruise tomorrow. I have a nagging headache, but I read it's normal. Do you think it's ok to have more oat bran than allocated? I'm having more - about 3-4 T. a day in my food, but still lost weight. 5 lbs in two days - and I don't care if it's water weight. Best part is sticking wth something for two days. I know that sounds wimpy, but it's a big feat for me. Thanks for the advice - I enjoy reading your posts in different Dukan discussion groups.0

I actually did the on line coaching with Dukan and it was a question I posted (eating more oat bran) ... and honestly, anytime I asked to add food on cruise they told me to add protein. I got more flexibility with the diet when I got to consolidation.
That being said, I logged my calories with Dukan even though they preach you don't have to. I found most days I needed to eat more as it is pretty surprising how few calories I was eating. I found greek 0% fat yogurt to be my friend, as well as keeping lots of turkey, hard boiled eggs, chicken, crab sticks, etc around.
Congrats on your success so far!0
