Dukan Do It....

Lost half pound this mornnig, so am back to last weds weight, I hate it when it does that :(

PP Day today.

My new fave meal for lunch, omlette and ham rolls. Very tasty LOL
 
laura hunni, my gains are always the week after I finish. Its so frustrating. I have noticed that for the first two days of my period I seem to stall, then it starts to come off slowly and then the WI after I have finished is always a horrid week. Last one I gained, but the three before I only lost half a pound or so, for the whole week. Usually the week after the week after LOL, is a lot better.

I think its all to do with the body getting back to normal. TOTM is notorious for water gain. Try taking some water tablets for a few days, not that we need to wee anymore than we already do !!!!!!!!!!

No news for me either lotto.

As always Thank u xxx
 
You're welcome sweetie,

put on quarter yesterday and stayed the same this morning. Its my TOTM gains I reckon. I cheated again last night and had a Mars Ice Cream bar, and I didn't really enjoy it. It tasted weird. Much preferred the snickers one last month LOL. this TOTM stuff is really annoying me, I was thinking about it earlier. If the week itself is a bad week and then the week after is a gain cos of body getting back to normal, then it means I'm only losign weight two weeks out of four. hard work for what!!!!

I am really struggling with the temptations of not cheating, its not that I am craving a particular thing, its that I am fed up of stuff at the moment and the effort of making food is too much, having to think about recipes etc. :( there is so much to do and I seem to be running out of time. Fairs to plan for, paperwork to do, school things, home things and with trying to do other little bits the days are endless. Oh stop moaning me!!! Not gonna do me any good is it.

DD is poorly again, she came home from school complaining of sore throat, and then spent half the night feeling cold, but her temperature is normal. I think she coming down with yet another thing, only just recovered from last week. If she is still suffering in the morning I'll keep her off school. 2nd day in a month in 3 years. Poor thing. I've got work first thing though so will leave her with her dad, can't make up my mind whether or not to stay at school for the day as I usually volunteer on Fridays, or if I should come home and see to her. I would probably worry too much if I stayed at school and she was at home. I know, I'm too protective LOL.

Right, bed me thinks, hopefully a good weigh in the morning and I'll get my stuff done as i need to.


Oh and guess what I found in my asda this moring. A single row of Quark!!!!! Shifted to soft cheese section and no longer in the specialised area as it used to be. Hopefully that means they are keeping it in.
 
Put on again this morning, so fed up of it. Feel so bloated and uncomfortable. I think I had too much oatbran yesterday. Oh well, just another day.
 
thanks hunni, that made me smile.

We know it happens don't we, but it does dishearten us. Wish it was the scales problem like yours LOL.
 
As Laura said chin up. These days are sent to try us xxx
 
Thanks Sid. Yep try and try and try and try............... lol

I know it will come right, but I end up questioning every single thing I eat. Did i eat too much dairy, oatbran, what tolerateds did I have. Did I eat too late etc., yet I know that on any other day it wouldhave still been a loss...........just got to keep reminding myself.
 
hey DKNSF - do you weigh every day? why not try NOT weighing for a week??? Daily weighing is the pits sometimes.... (Mind you I do this too! :) )

I need your advice! I have been having fruity yogs so tried plain yog and adding flavouring. It was yuk until I added quite a bit of sweetener.... How much would you add? Flavouring I mean... :)

If you were to have a pot of yogurt about the same amount as a muller I would add 1tspn of sweetner. But in all honesty its a personal taste thing. I have on occasion added more. For flavouring I usually add a capful. Again on occasion I have added more. Fat free greek yogurt with sweetner and lemon curd is the best LOL. Make the lemon curd from the recipes on here...if you can't find it let me know and I will retype it out.

I do weigh every day, its something I have done since the start of the diet. I have considered (seriously) not weighing every day but I know that things like the tolerated items need to be kept an eye on, and if I didn't weigh every day I worry I won't see the wrong stuff LOL. But, yes it would be a good idea not to weigh every day, at least seeing the WI maybe twice a week would avoid the bad days. I will see how I go. Maybe start next week just weighing every few days.

Hmm good point.

I put on another quarter again this morning. I have not been doing anything wrong, the most I can say is that I might just have eaten my oatbran too close to going to bed. I am questioning every single thing that passes my lips. The only thing had yesterday was soy sauce tolerated item. which might be another thing I can't have cos I seem to gain each time. Will have to do the elmination process with it LOL.

Dont worry I'm not giving up, just feeling sorry for myself cos I have had a horrid week. My weight is back to what it was 10 days ago. Almost a waste of effort.

On the plus side though, I help out at a dance class where my daughter goes, and today the teacher gave me a t-shirt that says 'staff' on it. The largest size the company does with the embroidery on it is XL............and it fit. I would have needed XXXL four months ago, so am very pleased with that LOL. :D
 
Dnsf. Chin up persevere your weight will drop xxx
 
Lost 3/4lb this morning, but not expecting any better tomorrow...................I cheated.

Went to see FIL today as its his birthday during the week. When we got there he said we were going for lunch. Ok Ithought, not a problem its a PV day, I can have carvery without the spuds. Which i did.

But when the waitress came round and read out the puddings, I was drooling.....usually puddings are quite mundane, not these ones. All very tasty so I ended up having brandy snap cheesecake. Was so amazingly gorgeous....and I am totally prepared for the outcome tomorrow. Everything else was ok, bit of sauce on the cauli, but I did shake it off LOL.

Well we will see in the morning. TOTM is finished and am hoping that cos of the week I have just had that its actually going to be a decent week, that I wont have the usual knock on effect it gives me for the week after. Have planned my weeks menu without any tolerateds, except hot choc at bedtime.
 
I wouldn't worry about it at all DNF...I call it conso practice :)... at the end of the day you made healthy choices throughout and didn't use it as an excuse for free for all, I think a portion controlled pud after a carb controlled main is showing exceptionally good will power and a good indicator for conso (just my 2 cents :))

hope you had a lovely day x
