china is starting cruise

[chinababe]

Day 14
Weighed in this morning, weight is still 140lbs. So nothing lost since cruise started. I'm still happy with a 6lb total loss so far. Will cut down on the dairy for the next few days & see what happens. Might be having too much 0% yoghurt with sweetener.
Todays food will be:
B 2 eggs
L chicken shish kebab (going out for lunch) no salad
D either roast beef or roast chicken
will try to have no snacks

Thank you to everyone who has replied & helped me so far. I am glad that I didn't sign up for the online coaching. There is so much more advice & posivite thought on here than on the coaching site. Previously I tried the online slimming world & didn't find that helpful to me.

Day 17
weight loss is still 6lbs, hopefully something will happen this week. I've never stuck to a diet for so long without cheatng but going to reread the book as seem to be doing something wrong somewhere!
Still not had any alcohol, which is a amjor achievement for me, so happy with that.
Yesterday I made the Meatzza pizza, it was lovely!
Todays food will be
B galette & dry fried eggs
L tuna & the no calorie noodles
D leftover meatzza pizza
snacks 0% fat greek yoghurt with sweetener.

Increase your protein. Try a full chicken a day, increase water intake and these noodles are the the allowed ones? And how's your transit issues?? that could be causing a stall. Dont worry your body will give in hanging on to then lbs shortly. Its strange but its a pattern that happens if you look back on diaries.

Thanks Sididd
Its going to be chicken all the way day on Mon. I am so determined to lose weight this time. Not going to lose faith.

 

[sididd]

No way lose faith. This diet works.....fact!

Day 19
weight is still the sam & have followed plan to the letter so far. I'm going to take sididd's advice & do an all chicken day today ( except for breakfast which will be galette & smoked salmon). & 3L water.
140lbs is a weight that I was at before for a long time so maybe my body needs an extra push to get itself losing. Everthing in the digestion area is working so thats not the problem & the amount of water that I'm drinking has me visiting the bathrom during the night "like an old Man" ha ha!

Thanks to everyone on here , without you all I would have become disheartened by now & given up!
Have a good day & keep on Dukaning!

PP today
B galette & egg
L tuna
D cheeseburger pie made from the recipe on here
3L water

Hi China

You'll see from lots of diaries on here that most of us hit a 'stall' with the weightloss every now and then. The trick is not to get disheartened, and I'm glad to see that you seem to be coping with it well.

I have STS for two out of the last three weeks, but my clothes have become looser, so I know I'm losing it from somewhere!

Our bodies are very strange things, and I'm sure yours will get a kick up the bum soon and show a loss.

Chin up!

 

[chinababe]

Thanks for advice Carole

Looking at your stats, you've done amazing. It's all the positive losses on here that keeps me motivated. In the past I have tried slimming world unsuccessfully but am reaaly happy with the food choices on Dukan. I'm an all or nothing girl protein & veggies suits me. I find it easier avoiding carbs rather than being allowed to eat a small portion of them.

Hope you have a great loss during the coming week!

 

[chinababe]

Woo Hoo! just weighed in & scales are showing 139lbs. Thank you Sididd for chicken day advice, that seems to have got things going again.

Todays food will be
B galette & egg
L chicken soup
D maybe steak or chicken breast
snack yoghurt

 

[sididd]

So pleased for you xxx there's nothing like the feeling when them scales start moving again xxx

 

[chinababe]

Nearly caved in tonight & had a glass of wine with dinner. Tomorrow is my sons birthday & I made a Dukan friendly steak & king prawn surf & turf dinner for us. It was very nice. But had a pint of water with it instead!

 

[sididd]

Yesssssssss your a star resisting. Be proud that's a small victory. But a massive mental step xxx

 

[chinababe]

Cheers Sididd!

Day 24
not a great meal out last, couldn't find much that was Dukan friendly. ended up asking for no dressings or sauces & no butter on veggies. I had salmon & sea bream mix but it came with a huge crabcake! OH said I was taking things too far when I was giving the waitress my meal requests. I had 1 bite of the crabcake & foisted the rest onto him! till not 100% sure that there was no oil lurking in the dish! Hope it doesn't undo all the hard work. Got home & was still hungry & ended up eating 2 slices of smoked salmon spread with extra light philly lite straight from the fridge.

Because of that I'm going to do PP for the next few days.
B galette & eggs
L chicken breast
D clear fish soup & more chicken
