I've never not eaten the day before weigh in, but I guess I can see that some might... but, in the past, I have noticed some using errr pills to ensure transit was working fast prior to weigh in which of course isn't ideal. We all need them sporadically if in a tight corner, but seeing it being repeated around weigh in worried me.
Anyway... 8lbs since Thursday Vicky... yep, I'd like that too please! haaaa! My side view in jeans is horrible and I should have worn normal office gear and not "dress down Friday stuff" - a real motivator if ever I needed one! My belly is as rounded as my butt!
Yes off to country "paradise"... but have to wait in tomorrow morning for an oil delivery (heating). And the price is 26% higher than this time last year... talk about blowing my oil budget in the first few days of the year, pffft!!
Also, after dropping me off in the flat Sunday evening, OH drove to house and DUMPED (literally I'm sure) all contents of the car in the dining room (he threatened the kitchen, but I said NOOO!). So I'm gonna be knee deep in boots/walking shoes/[things not Dukan related to take upstairs to "the Room" - like "the cupboard" but BIGGER!!]
Restful weekend? Doubt it! BUT the good news is that I'm ketosisamanic... (Sarah, remember that feeling?!)... TOTALLY hyper... slept 3H maxi last night and am RARING TO GO... (oh and my throat doesn't hurt much either!).
Oh I had a WEIRD breakfast this morning... realising last night that I couldn't have my usual muffins for breakfast if I wanted them in the car tonight, I grabbed some little packages from the freezer before going to bed. Turkey marinated in garlic. Lovely! and a little roast beef. For breakfast!

That's a great loss vicky, well done!
Stay strong over the weekend Jo, doesn't sound like you're having any problems with motivation at the moment so just keep the positive attitude. The weekend will be a breeze for you, and once you've done one it'll be easier to go on and do the rest of them too!

I want to sleep now please ... zzzzzz (OH has offered to leave himself - and his cough - on the sofa downstairs tonight, in front of the log fire of course, but no. He will freeze upstairs with me even if his coughing does keep me awake half the night again!)

Sounds like you've totally harnessed your diet mojo, Jo. I love those times when all the planets align and things go as they should. I know we were talking about this on the other thread, but I think you have to go at it like the clappers now for as long as possible. 
Congrats on the frame of mind, and on the 6 lbs too. What a great way to go into a weekend! Enjoy.

Hello diary and all,
I will return but I wanted to post somewhere before disappearing headfirst into work.
I had a good weekend, foodwise. And managed to walk to work this morning in 50 mins so I'm only a little out of my usual fast walking speed... (or more traffic lights were against me - whatever!).
Weekend menus:
Saturday PV
B: muffins
L: bit of roast beef (butcher) and some fresh prawns with undressed salad
S: bowl of homemade pumpkin soup
D: turkey (butcher) marinated in ginger + garlic and stirfried. Served with ONE small carrot and ONE small parsnip (from my veg plot), French beans we grew (and bottled) and white cabbage. Too much veg as per. Must rectify.
Baked Dukan egg custard.
Sunday
B: one muffin with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
L: moules marinières, Dukan style (mussels, water, couple Tblespoons white wine vinegar, a little garlic+onion.
One baked egg custard
S: 1/2 piece leftover chicken, sugar free jelly
D in car: two muffins
S at home: fat free yoghurt

NOT naughty carrot! On Dukan we are allowed them once a day in Cruise! I deliberately halved the portion and had a parsnip! (I'll keep it to once a week mind, where parsnips are concerned, but I love them/grew them and "buried them" in sand with the carrots so you get what you get when you go arummaging!)
Did you stay in ketosis this weekend Vicky? Soooo easy when one does!
