When you're really really good.. ?

[Wobble Wonder]

How much would you expect to lose in a week?

I know with different metabolisms, make-up, weights etc.. that we're all different but I'm just curious to know if you don't mind sharing!

Well wobble, I lost 9lb and I was elated x wish I could do another megga weight loss, what a start x

 

[ellie1969]

ive varied between 3 & 5 lbs on good weeks... now im near target im not expecting it to be as much

 

[angelj]

during attack it was 6 lbs otherwise its about 3-4 lbs a week for me too!

I've been having slight concessions since day 1 (squash etc) and would have said 1-2 lb a week until I counted it, it's been 9 weeks (on week 10 now) and I've lost 30 so I'd say 2-3 a week (plus an attack of 8). Not advocating cheating, just saying I might lose more without the juice! Bear in mind I had 56lb to lose so it was going to start faster, had just never imagined this quickly!

I vary between 1 and 3 lbs on average! Occasional 4 and 5 lbs!!!

After Attack I never managed more than 2lb a week I think. And I was definitely good all the way - defo no cheats. But I do have large tablespoons for measuring my oatbran :-D

I measure my oat bran large as well - it makes for a better pancake in my opinion and it hasn't altered my losing when I am following everything the dukan way.

Thank goodness for oat bran! haha


And in the spirit of Easter candy everywhere... :17729:

how long is a piece of string?

 

[CHRISR]

4 in attack and between 1 - 2.
8lbs to go and its hard to lose 1 but its the only blip I have had on Dukan. I lost weight every week for 28 weeks and for me thats whats important ...............

We had some discussions on this ages ago and everyone went an measured / weighed their portions and I think we came to a range of 20-35 gr for a TB of oatbran?

My tablespoons do hold exactly 15ml liquid but they're quite big so slightly heaped they come up as a larger portion than someone using a deeper but smaller diameter spoon that is also 15ml...

nooooo Anja... 15g per spoonful of oatbran so 30g total!

OOOPS sorry - trust my memory. Ok so we were comparing TOTALS. so one cruise Dose of Oatbran should be 30gr - my apologies!!

At least we all know now that Anja uses buckets to measure her oatbran . That's an amazing thread you linked, Anja. We started out talking about oatbran and ended up on Christmas and cheese! lovely memories!

 

[xeilidhx]

I used to weight my tbsp...its less religious now and I use a measuring spoon. I remember the days of looking for exactly 28g on the scales!

Suppose im averaging 2lbs a week with 2 full weeks off in the middle and i havent really been 100% for the past couple of weeks!
