Hi I lost 60 pounds two years ago on the diet and unfortunately put it back on by not coming off the diet right. I have now started again and have been doing attack for the last week and trying again. Friend me and we can try and help each other lose our weight. I made a Dukan bread yesterday which actually tasted quite…

I'm going to try a Pilates yoga as I went for an exercise referral and my flexibility was really bad. I do lots of walking which is why my hips shrunk so quick. I guess I hadn't banked on changing to a completely different shape and yes my slimmer clothes are probably from my early forties. Guess I'm a lucky girl and going…

Where do you get the pastilles from and what are they called. I have had a lot of sweet cravings lately.

I've just had a look at mine and mine is also set at 165. I average between 50 and 100 left at the end of the day depending on what's been eaten. Today I'm 200 calories over my 1200 but I still am 50 carbs in the green.

WOW that is some food for thought now. I have eight pounds to go and then onto Phase III. I have decided that I will not go back on the bread which is going to be hard when I am in France this year for my holidays as that was always my favourite part but I think I have a bit of a wheat intolerance anyway so that should…

WOW and Congrats you are one lucky lady to have found a man that can make you feel so special.

Maybe its not your calorie intake at all. Have a close look at your sodium intake and increase drinking water to two litres a day inclusive of teas, coffees, squash etc.). One litre of water weighs two pounds and two teaspoons of salt is enough to retain that weight. MFP Sodium levels are higher than the English…

Did you do the last Two phases coming off the diet before? I have lost nearly fifty pounds doing this and eleven pounds left to go to target but am wondering how it will pan out. I am going to follow the next stage, the consolidation which is still restricted for five days for every pound lost. What has the dukan relaxed…

Me too really badly as well.:happy:

When I was pregnant I was really addicted to ice and it happened twice to me. I would literally go everyday to the supermarket and get two big bags of ice. I would chomp on 4 kgs a day of the stuff. It was a deficiency of some mineral and came under the top 10 dangerous cravings during pregnancy. The cravings disappeared…

SW 228 CW 185 GW 161 Weight loss to date 44lbs haven't logged it yet today. Started around the 20th January this year and have cheated only once which was last weekend. I had a drink one week when I was on holiday and stuck to Vodka and Slimline Tonic. My sister is also on the diet and has been doing exactly the same as me…

Best one to go for is Total 0% Greek Yoghurt. More expensive but more filling too. I mix it with sweetener and a flavoured essence.

I wouldn't bother joining online save your money for other things. I have followed the book along with my sister and we have both done really well on it. Yes you need lots of willpower but then you need willpower for any diet. Stick to the rules and you'll be fine. You can always friend me and chat along the way whilst…

You can add me I have a little more than 10 kilos to go but you can count me in. I'm wanting to shift before the beginning of real summer when it comes!

That first week is a killer but once you get over that initial hurdle you will be fine. Make sure you drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep and don't exert yourself too too much the first few weeks as it does knock it out of you. Now two months down the line I am starting to feel fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Half a stone that's absolutely amazing. That will spur you on ready for another week. Well done.

You should do the Dukan Diet which is what I am on. It is high in protein and low in carbs. You will do ketosis with this particular diet. I know what you mean about the exhaustion bit but I can honestly say that after the initial one week attack phase I don't feel as drained as you describe but there again walking is only…

You'll be fine in France you can go to the supermarket and they'll have it all there. Crab sticks and yoghurt in abundance, ham and eggs etc. There is lots of steak and omelettes in the cafes and restaurants too. Eating out will be fine too they don't overload you with vegetables anyway. I think the most important thing is…

You can add me but I can't always promise to be grammatically correct as I have become lazy using the iPad and sometimes I don't see the mistakes as it is predictive typing.

I agree I can't stand people using the word loose in place of lose it drives me mad. Add me as a friend.

The videos were interesting and all in all there was only one docter who was against the diet anyway. I agree with them on the last phase that I can't see how that can work as it should be everything in moderation. Common sense should tell you that you shouldn't eat a bag of cookies (although it is always a nice thing to…

I agree with you. Cold turkey is the only way to quit. It's nearly two years for me now and I can't stick the smell at all. I can smell a *kitten* from a hundred yards away. Disgusting habit wished Id done it years ago now might have had a few less wrinkles.:flowerforyou:

That is so impressive. I have done mine the other way round and given up smoking and now tackling the weight. You are amazing and have done fantastically well. You should be really proud of yourself. :flowerforyou:

Agh you got me there. I'm from Jersey, Channel Islands :flowerforyou:
