I'm watching ! :) Actually, hubby and i have one eye on the game and another on the computer. It's fun and everything but wayyyyyy to long to just be staring at the tv and not do anything else :)

Because i’m in the process of loosing weigh, i have to plan everything in advance so i know what i’m going to eat ( i also bring my lunch to work). I also eat the same breakfast everyday so, yes, I input most of my meal ahead of time. :)

I do it every single day at the same time ( morning before i eat ). If i forget, i won't weigh myself that day and just wait the next morning. This helps me to know what i have to change up if i gain weigh.

I’m actually almost always under my calorie goal and this is essentially because i’m on the Dukan diet. I eat as much as I want but the calorie content of my food it not high ( on the Dukan diet you eat mainly protein and vegetables ). I talk about it on my main page and most people on my list are either thinking of…

What the heck gchutson, who did you piss off to get your account deactivated ?

I take a supplement of vitamin D every 3 months that help me absorb calcium :) Because i don't "stray" very far from what is allowed, i haven't started looking at the labels. But, as soon as i hit stabilization, i'll have to really know my stuff, that’s why i'm starting at least to get informed and make sure i can read a…

Now this made me LOL at work :))) exactly my thoughts when i was reading it :)))))))))) I seriously can't stop laughing, don't know what is funnier, the topic or the responses :)))))

My current BMR is 1620 My daily goal is 1200 And i average 900 because i'm on the Dukan diet

Let me clarify certain things. Regarding the breastfeeding being a “fad” : Don’t know what has happened in the US regarding this, but, over here ( France ) for years some ( not all ) doctors would basically tell you that if you didn’t breastfeed you were putting your baby’s life on the line. Nurses in hospitals and clinics…

Funny this topic was created just a few days after the equivalent of "Dateline" confronted two of the biggest food companies in the world about their labels. She asked them to justify why their health labels put in front of their products were misleading and manipulated so their products would look healthy. Most if not all…

Read the first few pages and fast forwarded to the last and I don’t know when exactly this post became a “breast feeding” against “formula” post but it surprising… Anyway, I’m living in France and I must say that for years there was major breastfeeding pressures ( in the hospitals/clinics, by doctors and associations that…

Straight out if a doctors mouth at the end of a consultation (woman): “You’ve gained weight; it’s too bad, yet you’re so pretty” ( translated this from French so might've lost it's impact from the translation ). Looked at her straight in the eyes and said “so what’s the problem then?” Didn’t get an answer. A couple of days…

Hi, The Dukan diet is based on a diet created by a French doctor ( Dr Pierre Dukan ) it is now very popular in the US but has been around for a while here in France. It basically a high protein diet using natural foods (meat, poultry etc etc) and you alternate with Protein + vegetables. There's a lot of very good…

Hi, You’re not going to believe this but my average is 850calories a day and i also have trouble loosing weight. I’m on the Dukan diet that’s why the calories are so low. I started a few weeks ago and immediately hit a plateau, for at least tree days I didn’t go down 1g but didn’t give up easily and gradually but slowly…

Hi Thank you for the encouraging words :) It’s great to have someone else’s perspective on the subject especially someone who has lost so much weight. It’s true that we become completely obsessed with the scale but I need it now as I don’t feel the change but need to see it at least on the scale. Will keep you updated on…

Hi This time around i actually am plateauing from the beginning which is scary. My body is now so resistant, I’ve had trouble loosing during the attack phase although I do everything correctly. This is expected from someone who has done the diet before so I’m not worried. But I’m a little frustrated as normally I’d have…

Hi ! Wow, i have to loose around 50lb too and have started last week. I'm down about 3lb and i'm feeling good :) Add me if you want :) llsand

Sorry, it's actually 50lb+ ( 20kg in metric system that's why i made the mystake )

You can add me :) Started the Dukan diet and have a lot of weight to loose :)

If anyone that's doing the same diet want's to add me as a friend, no problem ! :)

Hi Jaxson65, Yes i did everything perfectly and actually maintained a healthy weight for two years. I did gain one pound here and there but it came of quite easily. At some point you do become very aware of what you are eating and know what makes you gain weight and lose it ( as you might already know ) but the problem is…

Normally the Dukan diet work's this way : 3 day protein + 3 day protein plus veggies are ideally for ppl who have a lot of lower body weight to loose and a rather slender upper body and face. This is longer but enables you to be more “evened out”. The 5 day protein + 5 day protein plus veggies is actually the best solution…
