Hi Dyanna Glad to hear that you're doing so well. This really is a great diet once your head's around it isn't it? I lost around 28lbs on the diet around 18 months ago and I've managed to stabilise that quite well with a few ups and downs. Now I've begun my second phase and I want to lose another 28lbs or so by Christmas!…

Are you eating the bran? You need this to prevent getting constipated. Also if you check this against your calorie intake you must be really low - This wouldn't be enough for me but if its working for you why not Janebink

I use fat free fromage frais and have found out that the gallettes are always better when this is fresh. the pan needs to be hot before you pour the mixture on and then I add some sweetener and pour on a little fat free yoghurt. Yum!!!! Or i have it with two poached eggs on top! They do take a bit of practice but once you…

Wow! That was fantastic poem and I'm just about to watch the video. Thanks 'Notigvingup' it was just what I needed I've been having a real struggle for the last couple of weeks and just can't get my head around things. GOT TO STAND AWAY FROM THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I've just managed to download and watch the Dr Oz videos - He is great! I wish we had his show or something like it in England! I agreed with virtually all that was said and I whole heatedly agree with Dr Oz that it is just as if not more dangerous to our long term health to be obese than it is to deny ourselves certain…

Hi notgivingup20 I couldn't open the link you sent but you know what - these people can dismiss the Dukan Diet as not being healthy all they want. All I know is that when I stick to it properly I feel energised and well, the swelling in my fingers which I get from arthritis goes down and the boost that losing weight gives…

I make a 'sandwich' of two slices of pork tongue with low fat cheese and a little horseradish in the middle. Oh and don't forget the seafood sticks they are a life saver!!!

A bit like falling off a horse really! :ohwell:

Not since I went from pc to Mac anyway

You're doing better than me I can't do it!!!!

Well Done! :bigsmile: Keep it off - this diet is great! Janebink

Hello Helse I started taking Acai berry capsules about a week ago - I take three a day. Not sure if they are having any effect but I did lose 1kg last week when I thought I would stay the same :laugh:

Why not - its a form of exercise and much better than sitting on your bum! There's either light or heavy cleaning on the list and I always add them :wink: I don't regard it as cheating at all - as long as you don't eat extra to make up for it!

Hello from Mansfield - on the edge of lovely Sherwood Forest - feel free to add me :smile:

So Zacksmama - how did you do?

Hello mk34 I jst took a quick look at your diary and I think it would be a good idea to start the day with some protein as well as oat bran. Maybe a poached egg? Also - you haven't listed your drinks - are you sure you are drinking enough Janebink

Wayhay! Another kilo down! Im so Happy:bigsmile: :happy: :laugh: :smile:

Excellent Appleshack! After a real struggle during the last couple of weeks I had a really successful day yesterday. I went to a business meeting like you and there was a buffet lunch - DANGER I picked four of the sandwiches and - get this! - emptied out the fillings and threw away the bread - How good is that! It's weigh…

Hello Malu My name is Jane and I\ve been following the dukan Diet on and off since last March. I have lost a total of 31lbs or 14kg during this time. I find the Dukan Diet ideal for me simply because I want to lose my weight over a longer period and this diet allows me to lose weight whilst living the lifestyle that suits…

Well I'm 56 on 3rd February Julie - so maybe I can beat you on that!! Janebink

Thanks everyone - it makes such a difference to get all your support! :bigsmile:

Hello Kebkiss Welcome to MFP! You haven't said what diet you will be following. I on the Dukan diet and usually post in that forum. Whichever you choose you will find MFP really useful. I love it - I am getting a bit obsessed by it though - I run to it every time I put something in my mouth! Its so good to talk to other…

Good for you Fletch keep at it! Janebink

Hello Chaz Welcome to the Dukan Clan! Your'e doing great - and I agree that the theory to this diet does make perfect sense. With regard to the protein only days - I eat quite a lot of Pork tongue from Sainsburys which is quite cheap - I don't know if you live in the UK though. Also seafood sticks are only 85p a packet and…

Hello Ellie My name is Jane and I started back on the Dukan diet (in a fashion) on Monday. I had been on it since March of last year and altogether I have lost 10kg. I've had a disastrous day today however - My husband Stu and I went out for lunch and that's fatal! We shared a stilton and pear salad - I didn't eat any of…

Hi Fletch Welcome to the Dukan Clan! Two words - Seafood sticks! They are a lifesaver they are virtually all protein and they taste quite sweet. They are low in calories and you can have as many of them as you can stomach! I keep 3 packs in the fridge at all times and if I'm in a hurry just have a few for my lunch. I…

Morning Appleshack First the bad news - I finished the chocolate Santa off last night :embarassed: I had added him to my food list though and still saved within my limits - it will be interesting to see if he stops me losing this week. At least I've got another 11 months before he turns up again! Well done you for going to…

ooops just noticed my spelling mistakes - I've got a new keyboard - that's my excuse anyway:embarassed:

Hello All! This is getting to be a great group! We're all doing so well!!!! :happy: I was cleaning my dining room this morning and found a Lindt chocolate Santa that someone had forgotten about from Christmas -danger! I only ate a third of it - and I've added it to my daily food list. I also spent an extra hour on really…

Hi Appleshack - thanks for your message. Yes I definitely had put quite a lot on - I could feel it! Anyway I'm actually glad to get onto Dukan again - can you believe that!? I just find it the most convenient diet I've ever tried - it's a bit expensive though so when Im cooking for everyone also I do have a few carbs - had…
