Hello All, Another weekend is coming to a close. Why do the weekends go SO fast?? I skipped boot camp and official weigh in yesterday. I just didn't want to go out in the cold. I did weigh myself here and am down another pound or so. I seem to be having several PV days in a row. I have decided not to stress about it as…

Good Morning! Up early for boot camp......ready to box!! I sure am stiff & sore from all the workouts this week! I'm looking forward to my day off from exercise tomorrow! I'm doing ok with my eating this week, but I don't feel like any weight is shifting. I guess its just going to be one of those weeks. Yesterday was a PV…

Good Morning! Another boot camp session. Wasn't sure I'd live thru it, but here I am!! ;-) Today was mostly shoulders......yikes! Tomorrow is boxing........my favorite!! Scale was up a 1/2 lb this morning, but no worries. A few digestive issues need to clear up before the scale will drop again. Tired pup here.......wish I…

Good morning! First of all Jak....I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. They are like our kids and it hurts so badly when we lose them. Hugs. Pkw...you are an inspiration to me and countless others here. You are the poster child for Dukan!! :-) Went to boot camp at 5:45AM and wow was it tough. The workout was…

I was officially down 3 lbs this week for a total of 11.5 lbs so far(3 weeks). I was planning to go to boot camp tomorrow morning, but we're supposed to get snow/ice/freezing rain sometime early tomorrow morning. I'm not keen on going out at 5:30AM on slippery roads. Also don't want to break my neck trying to walk across…

Happy Weekend Dukaners! Heading to boot camp in about an hour. We have "weigh-in" this morning for the transformation challenge. I may be down a small amount.....we'll see. Michelle...you are in the Caribbean?? On vacation or do you live there?? Either way...I envy you! It is freezing here & I love sun and the beach. Busy…

I'm sure going back to work after being at home with your babies was hard! You'll all get into a routine and things will work out, but as you said, it will be hard at first. Hi Michelle! Glad to have you join us. Don't despair, follow the plan and your body will catch up and reward you with a lower number on the scale! PV…

Another PP day for me today. I'm actually so exhausted from boot camp that I don't care whether I eat or not! Sure hope I pep up soon or its going to be a long day! What's everyone been up to? Come on gang.......fill us in! Lori

Brrrrr......so freakin' cold this morning. Actually, they predicted it would be even colder than it is. It's about 16 degrees. We had a couple inches of snow yesterday afternoon that caused all kinds of problems on the roads. My husband got stuck for 2 hrs on the highway not moving because of an accident. At least he was…

I'm happy to report that the low carb beer didn't hurt me a bit as the scale was down 1.5 lbs this morning! Very happy girl here! I had 2 PV days so today is a PP day. Boot camp was rough this morning as usual. I'm going to try to go Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat. this week. Whew! Have a good one! Lori

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off & resume your plan. We will all have times like that....that's life!! No guilt....tomorrow is a new day! Lori

Hello Everyone! How has your weekend gone? I'm very proud of myself for this weekend. While at my sister's I kept pretty well to plan. Very low carb and lots of good protein & veggies. I had 2 PV days, so I'm back on PP tomorrow. I was going to do 2 PP days in a row, but I think I'll just get back to the alternating…

Happy Friday everyone! Had another grueling Boot camp session this morning. I keep thinking it should soon get easier! ;-) I'm going to my sister's for the weekend, so there will be some modifications to my diet. She is buying many Dukan friendly foods, but one thing I am going to have is a couple low carb beers. Mich…

I hope everyone will share any recipes or simple ideas for spicing up our food! I have to get creative with sauces etc if I'm going to stick with this(and I really want to!). I have been trying to eat fat free cottage cheese, but its a struggle. This morning I sprinkled less than a 1/2 pack of Truvia on it and it was…

Good Morning! Woke up WAY early this morning so I just got up and am easing into my day. I'm heading to boot camp at 5:45. Today is another protein day.....hope I can choke some down. Actually, I feel like I will be able to eat a can of tuna today. Tonight I'll brown some lean ground beef and do something with it. I'll…

Good Morning, I love how we share tips and tricks here! Flavoring the yogurts is a great idea. I have been eating Chobani Greek yogurt. Non-fat in Lemon or Vanilla. To tell you the truth, yogurt is the thing that tastes best to me. I'm starting to have a bit of a problem eating meat. I don't know if its just because I was…

Good Morning! Hi & welcome Tricia! You are doing great by the looks of your ticker! WOW! I'm up early to head to boot camp. We're boxing today and I really didn't want to miss that. I took some Advil to combat this ever present headache. The headache started on Sunday and it just doesn't want to let up. I had a mega busy…

Good Morning All! Congrats Gem...you're doing great! How wonderful to see a new number on the scale! FF....don't worry about the slight gain, it will soon be gone. I had a good PP day yesterday and was hoping to see a loss this morning, but no such luck. Of course, my system is still not back to normal after being sick, so…

Congrats pkw! You well and truly have a handle on maintaining your weight...and while away on business & eating out too!! I can only imagine what a relief it is to you. I look forward to that day. Feeling almost back to normal this morning...thank goodness. I could tell last night that I was making a turn to the better.…

Hello everyone, Sorry I've not been around much this week, but I've been under the weather. I had what I assume is the Norovirus that they were talking about on TV. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy! It's a rough way to lose weight. Had my official weigh in at the boot camp challenge this morning. Down 8 lbs for Week 1.…

Good Morning! I'm feeling a bit better today, but not completely back to normal. I've lost 8.5 lbs on 5 days of attack and 1 day of "sick". I'm going to ease back into eating today so I'm sure my calories will be VERY low. I'll probably eat a few carbs today as I try eating a bit. When I get back to normal, I'll be going…

Hello, My plan has come off the rails as I've gotten the stomach bug that hubby had earlier this week. I haven't been this sick in years. I'll be drinking Ginger Ale(with sugar) today to try to recover. I think I'll start cruise as soon as I'm able to eat again. I made it thru 5 days of Attack. Stay healthy! Lori

Awesome!! Be sure to check in each day with us on the "How's your day" thread! Lori

It is so great to see more and more people joining in!! Love it!!! Boot camp was awful this morning. Abs & Quads......ACK! I may not be able to get up from a chair by tomorrow! ;-) Anyone can feel free to friend me as well. I'll be here for the long term since I have a lot of weight to shift. Have a great day! Lori

Good morning friends! Day 5 on Attack coming up! Scale was only down 1/2 lb this morning, but that's 6.5 lbs in 4 days!! It's funny...I went to Boot camp yesterday and burned mega calories and lost less. That happens all the time. I guess your muscles hold on to some water when you've put them through a tough workout.…

Drink lots of water Jen! You can do it!! Lori

Good Tuesday morning! I'm up early to head to boot camp at 5:45. I get up at 4:30 so I can have a cup of coffee and ease into my day. Crazy, I know! Down another pound for a total of 6 lbs in 3 days of Attack! I'm just hoping it doesn't all come rushing back the minute I add veggies to my diet. I know there may be a bit of…

I know what you mean about being delighted to have salad! I'm SO looking forward to Saturday....my first PV day! Lori

Hi! I'm so excited to see more and more of us here doing Dukan! I'm only on day 2 of Attack with a long way to go, but I know I can do it. I do Boot Camp for exercise which is quite intense. Tuesday morning will be my first Boot Camp since starting Dukan. Hope the lack of carbs doesn't cause me problems with the hard…

Hello! I'm new to Dukan as well. This is day 2 of Attack for me. Down 3 lbs after Day 1!! I know its water, but I'm just glad to see the scale going down. I'd love to have some support on this journey & will do my best to be supportive in return. I am not logging my food or counting calories, as I tend to rebel at that…
