I just realised, chatting with the Vickster, that I'm coming up to my four year anniversary without my best friend...

You're kind re the cigs, Robin... but over generous ref the keeping the weight off. A constant battle as you know!

Look at it this way, Jo. The amount of weight you lost when you started dieting has mainly stayed off - you have 10% or so to lose going from the amount you originally lost. I have the same amount to lose now (900gr having lost 9.5 kilos) after my holiday excesses. I'd say that you're doing pretty well.

Jo, I'm late to this... the 1lb thing... I know how annoying it is, but equally, if someone told you a fortnight ago you'd be 10lbs down if you did exactly as you have done, you'd be made up.
Keep on truckin'!

Thanks GG. You're right of course. And, comparing my menus to those on Atkins, I see that I do eat "too many vegetables" (if such a thing is possible) for low carbing... even though I only have them every other day, it will slow my loss in cruise.
Fourth day of walking to work and I must say that it's far more pleasurable with decent music in my ears... (the strange cover versions will return though in a few walks time, so must reload music. never think of it by the time I get home and no time in the early morning hours before leaving home at 7am...). The colder weather makes it easier too, strangely enough, as I can simply wrap up warmly. The warmer weather meant I needed warmth initially, then progressively had to strip off (and carry) and "perspire" by the time I arrived! Not good!!
Lunch with a friend from the countryside today who's up in the city for some retail therapy... Going to a Dukan friendly place. Rather boring for her though!

Hello Vicky... having a horrible day here
Lunch was good. I went back to the same place as last week and ate the exact same thing! Salmon + three veg (I chose leeks, broccoli and courguettes). Then 0% fat fromage blanc! I'm amazed they have that! While browsing with my friend (who had risotto, loads of bread and a piece of cheesecake; jealous me?), I noticed they even have a Dukan friendly dressing for salad so might go that route next time I eat there.

I didn't have salad dressing, cos my meal was hot, but one of the eight dressings(!) was fat free fromage blanc, chives, balsamic vinegar. Perfect!

Balsamic vinegar - 'tis ok Dukan! leastwise in the quantity one has in a sprinkling of dressing!
