Down another 3 which is great - kinda felt like it might be a bit more as feeling sooooo much thinner than last week but probably because of the exercise rather than anything else!!! Can't believe I have lost over 30% of my body weight - just feels unreal. When I was at my Mum's it was an amazing feeling being able to try on some of her clothes (my Mum is a size 14/16) and have them fit - NEVER did I believe that my Mum and I would be trading clothes! It's good though cos she has great taste and some fab clothes - came back with even more clothes to wear! Really do need to stop buying them though cos the drawers and closets are getting too full! Am finding myself buying stuff just because I can rather than because I need!!!

Welcome back - sounds like you had a fabulous break! You've reminded me I've got a day spa voucher still to use up from Christmas, I'll think of you when I enjoy my one treatment Sorry if I missed it: can you tell us where you went? You can send me a private message if you'd rather not broadcast it.
Well done and well done! I know what you mean about buying clothes 'because you can'. I really need to stop too - although I suppose I had a few years of unspent budget piled up - that's my excuse anyway! But yes just walking into a shop and thinking - I could wear anything (well nearly!) is a completely novel feeling. All my new dressed and skirt now end above the knee, when all the one before had to be calf-length! And they can be waisted too
As for closet space - pack away anything that's too big (I found that hard because some of those were/are timeless favourites that I really don't want to get rid of!)
I suppe don't overdo it - presumably you will shrink further - but you are allowed to treat yourself because you feel and look fabulous now! Swapping with your mum - how cool is that, shame my mum's taste is definitely NOT ME. I suppose I could swap with my sister, but she's a bit far away (Germany)

It's Mrs CD's recipe.
1 block silken tofu
2 tablespoons quark/fromage frai
2 tablespoons sweetner
vanilla
Blitz it all together in processor or with blender till smooth and all lumps removed then chill - tastes much better after an hour or so in the fridge!
That's the basic recipe which I think personally is the best but have tried it with lemon/orange flavouring and found it to be v nice. Yesterday I added some cocoa and although v nice not worth the extra tolerated. Will stick with vanilla from now on. Also I bought some of the Dukan biccys and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on how I could bind the crushed biscuits together to make a cheesecake with the tofu topping. Any thoughts???

What are the biscuits like? I sort of thought about getting some the next time I put in an order.
I also wondered about the breakfast bars - I really loved those pre Dukan and they would be useful for those days when I go for a swim before work. Can't bear eating until afterward.
I saw there was a cereal as well on the French site, so I guess it will eventually get onto ours. I would order from the French site but the postage is pretty silly.

Haven't tried them to be honest Supertonic - they are for emergency consumption!!!! Couldn't trust myself to have them in a 'normal' day as I think I would gobble a few more than the three allowed - though at least they are in packs of three!!!!
I want to find a way to crush them and use as a base for the tofu creme to create a cheesecake but was wondering what to bind the biscuit with???? Think it would be v tasty if I can work it out!!! And could look elegant too! Perhaps a lemon tofu creme with coconut base???
