I weighed myself before I started, then the morning after my attack phase ended, and now every Monday and Thursday since then. Make sure to do it at the same time - I usually weigh 2-3 pounds more in the middle of the day than I do in the morning.

My nutritional goals are similar to yours. If you are making shakes with milk, you might be surprised how many carbs are in milk 12-13 grams per cup, which adds 48 calories per cup. Try using plain unsweetened almond milk, coffee, or water as a mixer instead. Plain 0% fat greek yogurt is 80 calories with about 15 grams of…

My husband massages my tummy - amazing!

I think an occasional ANYTHING can't hurt you!

I'm 5'6" and I had a starting weight of 128 that was really pudgy on me, current weight of 123, and goal weight of 118. I have a tiny frame.

I know it's been said before, it is probably water weight. And I don't want to butcher this theory or body process, but there is something about muscles retaining water to help them repair themselves after a hard workout. I'd say building a brick wall would be a hard workout for anybody. If you are only eating half of your…

I like to mix 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder with about 16 ounces of hot coffee in the blender with two stevia packets. Blend for a minute (take the lid off after it starts so the heat doesn't make it explode) and you have a hot foamy latte-ish drink with no carbs! Frozen fruit is good to add. Strawberries, orange…

I've been on it for almost 2 weeks now and have lost over 5 pounds! I'm a vegetarian so I have never tried low carb anything, but I decided to give this one a try. I only need to lose 10 pounds and it's so exciting being half way there. It starts out just lean protein, then you add each food group in on a certain schedule…

My mind wanders the most during spin class. I find that the time flies when I start thinking of things like a grocery list and meal ideas, possible outfit combinations, or ways to rearrange or redecorate a room. When I'm running through my neighborhood I like to find one thing I would change on each house, like the front…

I've been on the Dukan Diet for 10 days now and LOVE it. I've literally tried everything to lose these pesky 10 pounds but nothing has worked in the past 4 years. 10 days in I've gone from 128 to 123. I'm a vegetarian too so it does get pretty tricky but with so little to lose, I am not terribly worried about it. One of…

I too only need to lose 10 pounds and I've trained for a half marathon, done P90X, religiously counted calories, religously attended spin class, all to remain stagnant. After my 2 day attack I lost 3.5 pounds and 2 days later I was down another pound. It seems to combine a lot of diet theories, including the shock diet by…

Today is my 9th day on the Dukan diet. I really only need to lose about 10 pounds so I only had to complete a 2 day attack phase, which I was incredibly thankful for because I am a vegetarian. The chart said I would lose about 1.6 pounds but I lost 3.5 pounds during my 2 day attack. I've since gone from a starting weight…
