I found that my weight went down in 'steps' regardless of what I did. Some of it to do with transition, water retention no doubt but the rest completely inexplicable. I'd lose a pound, then stick there for 5+ days or even gain a little despite never straying and then lose another pound or two in one day. So don't despair, it's not always a linear progression. And I think 2lb a week is probably the best you can expect anyway.
Hey all,
Ok I'll admit it I am really really missing fruit, almost craving and dreaming of it and struggling to understand that fruit can be such a baddie?? I have read the book lots of times and I know it explains it but I am still confused.
Upped my water this week and that has nudged my weight loss. Loving dukan still but really missing fresh strawberries and smoothies!!
Pp for me today xxx

Naughty fruit has lots of sugar in it, Louise. Hang on it there until you get to Conso, then you can start having a piece of fruit almost every day.

Where are you with your weight now Louise? And your BMI etc etc?
For now, I console myself that the seasonal fruit of the moment aren't those I prefer, so they've travelled a long way, and I'll wait for the right time to arrive...
I'm hoping that, by then, I'll be able to partake... but the carbs will never fit on a low carb diet...
How much more weight do you need to lose?

So you're not very far off target now!

I felt pretty awful during Attack, Louise, and I certainly have my moments of self-doubt on the diet, but I don't think it's brought my mood down otherwise. Unfortunately, TOTM manages to do that for me! ;-)
Feeling any better today? I wonder if there's perhaps another factor involved for you, like TOTM or any outside stresses?

I swear by my morning walk to air out all cobwebs... I'm definitely in a better mood when I get here than when I start out!

Hi, Louise!
How far off goal are you now? Hopefully, not long until Conso - then you'll be able to indulge your fruit cravings at least a little bit.

This one's doing good
I too miss fruit but, as I regularly remind myself, "so how come you weren't overdosing on FRUIT over Christmas then!!"

Don't worry too much about Conso, Louise. Keep the rules in mind and you'll be okay. It's so nice having a bit more freedom, though!

If you need to get yourself mentally psyched up (like me), in the diary section find Anja's Conso diary (it'll have fallen down the pages a bit now she's on Stab) and read from the beginning!
