Dukan Do It....

[dukannotsofatty]

OMG sounds lucious! Net that was nice and its good to have something enjoyable now and again x don't weigh tomorrow!

LOL Jellie, too late i did weigh and I lost 1.25lb. Hopefully the pud won't show tomorrow. Actually it won't because i am going to try and be so strong and not get weighed till wedsnesday.

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

I'll take that 2cents worth and spend it wisely LOL, good job that pudding was at a restaurant....don't think it would have lasted too long had it been a full one in my fridge, oh my it really was yummy.

What Lotto said, DNSF, for she is wise!

P x

I agree LOL


Lost 1.25lb this morning making a weekly loss of 1.75lb. I am hoping to try and stay away from the scales for a few days and only weigh a few times a week. Mon/Weds/Sun. I don't think I could do less often as I would have no way to control the tolerateds or not use it as an excuse to cheat cos I won't be on the scales for a few days. We'll see LOL.

Unfortunately the scales (and minimins) keep me accountable, at the moment I'm feeling relatively erm...*thinks of a word to describe the feeling* ....(could take a while)

...resumes thought....feeling relatively at ease, that is to say I'm not fretting about putting any on and feeling comfortable about STSing....

I think we walk a fine line when dieting between scale obsessing and not paying enough attention, I think you've the right balance going on, especially keeping an eye on the effects of tolerateds, last thing any of us wants is the effort to go to waste .

Totally agree regards the restaurant puds....recently I've been having single portion sizes (bought from a vendor) of something and refusing to buy multipacks or larger portion sizes to have in the house.. from a calorie counting point of view it's working for me and doesn't allow me to go over....obviously less than Dukan friendly though

hope you have a great day DNF x

 

[sididd]

Great attitude. Hope your on the mend Sarah xxx

 

[Jojo25]

Just catching up on a few diaries, glad to see you are still losing Hun x

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Bless you lotto, glad you 'at ease' I feel focused about this diet, I know I have had a couple of cheats but its not been destructive, I have been in control of these cheats and still positive about losing...even when its a slow week LOL ;-)


Thanks jojo


I didn't weigh this morning, I actually managed to avoid the scales though it was a struggle. I'm going to weigh again on Thursday. Am hoping to see a more positive loss if I do it that way.

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Weighed this morning for the first time since Monday morning, I actually managed to go two days without weighing. Total loss - quarter of a pound. I really thought it might have been better than that. If we are supposed to try to lose 2lb a week then i am way off course LOL. Weigh again on Sunday.

I've been good and not given in to temptation which I have always found is a problem when I weigh a few days apart as its almost a kind of, it doesn't matter if I fail today cos I have another day before weighing. I've been quite good, very proud of myself.

But oh boy...I did have the 'whoosh' yesterday. I ate a few too many sugar free sweets in the evening, my poor body did not like that one bit.

Was in school today, worked breakfast club and lunch duty, but volunteered in the morning in foundation, then my daughters class were baking and had a family learning day.........I was the only parent that turned up. So not fair, all those kids with parents that can't be bothered. It was fun thou and cos the kids know me I floated about the classroom helping different kids. We made lots of diffferent types of things for the kids to sell tomorrow for Children in Need day and raise some money. Made bookmarks, placements, a couple of board games, friendship bracelets with pudsy on them. And made some cookies. The kids loved it. My feet were hurting thou, spent most of the day on my feet or knelt on the floor mounting childrens work. Then had to come home, cook tea, clean kitchen and back out to asda to shop. Finally got my feet up. LOL.

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Hellloooo anyone there? LOL, very quiet it seems.

Quiet day today, just been getting all my stuff together for the fair tomorrow. Hoping to make a bit, the table cost was more than usual, but two of us have gone halves so hopefully we will make back our table costs quite quickly.

 

[ellie1969]

hope all goes well tommorrow, a friends daughter was doing her first fair tonight.... hope it went well for her as shes a nice kid

 

[sididd]

Good luck selling tomorrow. You'll do well xxx

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Thanks, it was ok, but not brilliant. Was for a hospice charity, they had two rooms at a hotel with about 40 stalls between them, there must have been at least ten stalls doing beaded/jewel stuff. It cost me £12.50 for the space, and that was halves of the table cost. Got a 3ft x 2.5ft space. I made £21 in total, so not brilliant. Sold about 5 shamballa bracelets, a bookmark, 3 pairs of earrings and 3 rings....considering what was on the stall, that was poor. Oh well, its still sales. Got another in a few weeks so hopefully that will do better, after I got home I ordered a takeaway for DH and DD, which arrived really quickly and i hadn't got my tea made. Had to smell chips and pizza........so I made an Egg and tuna Salad with lo fat fromage frais dressing. When it came to pudding i was seriously craving choc or crisps........had ginger yogurt and jelly. How did your friend do Ellie, hope hers was better.

Struggled tonight, was stood in the kitchen almost shrieking cos I really needed something 'naughty'. Had mussells and 'tails' instead. I had better lose this week, so far its been a quarter pound this week, its that week after bit again. So fed up of it. Last week was rubbish cos it was TOTM, which usually doesn't cause a problem, but it obv did last week, then this week is my usual getting back to normal, Aarrrrgggghhhhhhhh, feel better now LOL.

I bought some flavourings today. one of the stalls as the fair was a cake and sugarcraft shop thats in hull, she had a shelf of flavourings, highly concentrated apparantly, only need a couple of drops...literally two drops, BUT....its oil based. I had a lot to choose from, but decided on Ginger, so I can have ginger muffin LOL. But I am going to count the oil from my tolerateds. Its a 40ml bottle, which was about £4 but I decided if I am using it in such small amounts its going to last forever LOL.

They are in the process of sorting out a website, so once its up and running I'll put up the details.

 

[chinababe]

Sounds like you had a really full day. Congrats for not caving in to cravings! It is so hard to stay on the Dukan path in these cold dark evenings especially. Ginger sounds yummy.

 

[sididd]

Dnsf... I've always used oil based. And is make no difference to my weigh loss the small amounts we use it insignificant i our daily allowance ....Dukan product also contains oil........

 

[dukannotsofatty]

thanks guys xx

 

[Paulinegin]

Well done DNSF, you're definitely due a visit from the whoosh fairy!

P x

 

[dukannotsofatty]

I daren't eat sweets tonight, I'm sure I would gain weight if i wasn't careful. I've been really good today, well all week actually but I still don't think its going to be a loss this week. Having had a very hard day yesterday and struggled last night, I gain half a pound this morning. Unless some blooming miracle happens i will have gained weight this week come WI tomorrow. And I have not cheated, I've had hardly any tolerateds, eaten the right oatbran. All because its the week after TOTM.

I know I know I am grumbling again, but honestly how would you feel knowing that two out of every four weeks is not going to be a loss. So fed up. really in need of cheering up and a loss would do it LOL.

DD tried making me laugh a few times today, even hubby asked me if i was ok.

Went and did a bit of xmas shopping today, got another for daughter which she will love. She is big on horses and the makers of Zhu Zhu have brought out zhu zhu ponies. Got a voucher for the store so it was £5 off.

I have to go into town tomorrow for tickets for the choir concert, so am going to try and get a few more gifts then. Nearly done with the few I am buying, want it over with now.

Sat watching a christmas film, that always has a feel good factor to it LOL.

 

[sididd]

Dnsf...massive hugs from me come on chin up chuck xxxx its a blip. The bloody scales make our day happy or sad...we shouldn't allow it to happen but we do. Asparagus....chicken week and see how you Do xxxx

 

[Jojo25]

Awwwwww bless you, keep at it, you know it'll come off xxx

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Thanks both of you. I know it works, that's the thing of it my brain is just refusing to remember that. A gain of quarter pound for the week. Hopefully this week will be better like the last time I gained, I lost 5lb in one week. Got the dukan life plan book from the library today, have been reading that which had given me a bit of a boost, saying about stalls and slow downs. I'm not stopping, I'm focussed. getting yet another cold thou, same one Daughter had last week with sore throat, oh joy. Loads to do too.will have to cram it all in tomorrow before I get to bad. Of to bed now, night mydukan buddies xx

 

[trudyc]

DNSF have you been posting your menus??? Hate to hear you down about the plan and us guys might have some suggestions for you to help you..... I dunno..... It's v hard to stay focused when you are not seeing the results and I remember that I found it such a long time between WI's when I had STS or lost half a pound but usually a day or so after WI I would regain my mojo and fly again and have a whopper weight loss!!! Keep strong dukan buddy! x

 

[dukannotsofatty]

Hi trudy, I'm not really down about the plan as such, just the way my body seems to be reacting. I worry so much about eating the wrong things, or quantities etc., re reading some of the book again helps to put things in perspective. I know it works and I will stick to it. I've not really posted menus only occasionally , I always plan my whole week and make sure I don't go over. Up to last week I was counting all my dairy too, though after hearing it was unlimited i stopped counting it all. Having said that, never ever went above about 700-800ml in dairy. So I aren't worried about it.

I lost half a pound this morning. I know last week is bound to be my 'TOTM week after' problem, but I will try and post a few days worth of menus to show how I am going.

I try to keep tolerateds to a minimum because I realise a month or so back I was getting it wrong. Hot Choc is a tolerated so thats one every day anyway. I don't always have it, but I do like my bedtime drink.


Oh and I've had two lockets today, I've caught DD sore throat which means it hurts to swallo. Nose starting to snot up again, fed up of it, I've had three colds in 5 weeks.



I actually threw away a full unopened bag of crisps today so i didn't get tempted. My DD decided a couple of months ago that she didn't like the flavour so I was saving them, have been so tempted this last couple of weeks, anyway I decided earlier to day to stop being silly and crushed them all up and then threw them away LOL. Good eh???
