Hi everyone
I am starting Dukan tomorrow. At the moment I weigh just over 16 and half stone which is excessively overweight as I am only 5ft 1. I have struggled with my weight consistently over the last 15 years. It first became an issue when I had my first child and then got post natal depression. It has spiralled since then. For the last four to five years I have been yo-yoing to get it under control. Tried WW, SW, LL, Cambridge, you name it. The most I have managed to lose was 4 stone but that has all gone back on , and some.
I am now over 40 and really would like to get a handle on this. I am currently studying a full time computing degree, just finished my first year. Therefore I would like to get this weight issue sorted before I graduate and return to the workplace.
Got the Dukan Diet book and have been avidly reading, along with people's posts here. Have been shopping got my oatbran, meat, yogurts etc for the first week of attack. I am hoping to start planning the second week half way through the first because I like to plan ahead an know what is coming.
Does anyone have any tips? Also would be great to chat with people regularly as at the moment I am on summer vacation from uni and get bored so easily.
