Yes getting on the scales everyday can be a bit disappointing at times but if you just look at the weekly weight loss its good to see its going down. You are doing so well and so organized with all your protein food!! i too am lower than I’ve been in a very long time, Don’t know why but I just wasn’t hungry yesterday - Just need to be good over the weekend!-Lucky we are too busy to socialize!! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

So last week i did 3 ‘diet day’ and 4 ‘non-diet days’ . This week I will be doing that the other way around. At this stage we dont have any plans for entertaining and i have DGD for 2 nights (Fri and Sat) so i dont expect we will go out with her so i will do a ‘diet day on the weekend. I dont know if Ive lost or gained any weight as yet (weigh in is tomorrow and ill edit this post and put it in) but as long as i haven’t gone back into that higher decade, ill be pleased. I know it takes a lot to lose those last couple of kilos to get to goal weight so Im not going to stress. Of course some exercise would also help so I should try to get a couple of walks in

And Anniversary's are JUST ONE DAY
Easter is JUST ONE DAY
BUT no, I manage to make these events last a week at a time
So the consequence is Late March and up to now April has been ONE BIG FOODFEST. I just need to STOP IT!!!!!
I'd be quite happy if I was going down more than up, but that is just not the case since Christmas. I am afraid I really am an 'all or nothing' kind of gal. I just can't be trusted. Moving forward from NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Shellie- I fully understand the 'all or nothing". Im exactly the same. I can't have one biscuit with my coffee at work. I can do none or 3 My colleague has one every morning and every afternoon and only on the days she works and then that's her only junk. Once I start ill probably have a chocolate bar as well and then on way home ill get a pkt twisties when I get petrol Ive got to goal twice and never maintained - 'all or nothing' BUT this time I WILL !! P.S. I wish my official weigh in day was not Mondays. Today Im same as last Tuesday- sounds so much better lol

Hi Girls,
Well done Judy, we have to expect the losses to be smaller at the end of the journey. I really think with you, if you didn't have such a hectic social life you would be as thin as a rake, can't say that's my downfall at all (although January & end of April/May are a little hectic here). Unfortunately over the years DH work hours (early mornings) and being so tired at night has caused us to be a little reclusive and excluded, once your off the invite list, then people just don't think to put you back on. I have girlfriends (we are younger than most of our friends) who still refer to my kids as 'the little ones' and DD21's Godmother actually asked about 12months ago if I ever need anyone to 'mind the girls' Ummmmm 20 and 16 at the time, would have been a nice offer 10yrs ago, lol.
Well I hope this post doesn't jinx me (sometimes that happens when I get a bit 'boastful'), but just right now things are going well. I am ashamed to say that since Christmas day when I reached my 2014 Goal Weight I have been yo-yoing like a crazy person. Up 2 down 2 Up 3 down 1 etc etc, add to that 3 January Birthday 'Celebrations', Easter (forgot it was only one day), DD's 21st and 5 days of sandwiches and takeaways due to no power, I managed to gain almost 5kgs above my 2014 Target.
So, since the storm I have been clawing that back under control. This morning I weighed in (2 days early) and I have lost 4kgs of the 5kgs. Thank God for that. I feel like I am back in control again and seeing the kgs drop has really given me motivation to continue.
I got some advice from another Dukaner, in the 12months since I've been chatting with her online she has made 3 or 4 attempts to begin Dukan and each time she loses amazing numbers in the 1st few weeks, this time she's down 12kg in 2 weeks, she is much bigger than I am (we've talked about it) and she admits when she goes 'off the rails' she is so far off she can't even see the train anymore. So she told me she goes "White and Green", meaning she stick to white protein only and green veg, so I am giving that a go and it's working. Maybe there is just too much sugar in the coloured veg. Anyway it seems to be working, sticking with Chicken, Fish & Turkey on all days and keeping it basic on PV days (Cauli, Brocc, Broccolini, Cabbage, Assorted lettuce leaves, Zucchini, Cucumber for salads), the rest will come back in shortly, I just wanted to get this nonsense under control. I have less than 5kgs to reach my next milestone and then a further 10kgs I want gone before Christmas, I have time, BUT I have to get moving on this now, keep the momentum going. I am turning 50 in January and I want to be 50, Fit and Fab.
If you stuck it to the end of this post, then thanks for listening.

Good on you Shellie!! I know when you are at goal weight on Dukan, you are not allowed all the proteins on your once-a-week-forever-until-you-die PP day. You are not allowed the fatty fish-tuna and salmon, or the red chicken meat so it seems all proteins are not the same. Maybe you could check them out. Yes the colored veggies do have more starch/sugar. Also one of the questions Dukan asks before starting and to determine goal weight and attack times is “How many diets have you been on already”- or something like that. So if people are redoing Dukan, its never going to be as fast as the 1st time?! You are already fit- all that exercise you do!! -and fabulous! You will just be 50 and thinner in January!! xx Yes Im not expecting to lose that much every week now. I have reached another 'lowest in the last 18 months' goal this morning so hopefully it will be like that on Monday mornings weigh in??! I am determined this time to MAINTAIN. I got to goal just before my 40th -Weight Watches- and then again just before my 50th -Dukan Yes we do socialize a lot. Believe me it is DHs doing. Im really a sit on the couch on our own in the evening type of person. DH invites people to our house for dinner (I used to hate it when i had to give the house a big clean up every time : In fact we are invited to DFs for dinner on Tuesday night who said ‘because you always invite people for meals and rarely get invited to others for dinner” Are people intimidated by DHs good cooking and the effort he goes to? Anyway when he went to East Timor and Solomon Islands for work for a year or went overseas without me for a month or so, I did not socialize anywhere near as much! Also now our kids are out of home we ‘socialize’ with them and have wine/beer when they come over ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Keep up the good work and i think being accountable helps so much!

Thank goodness for you Judy, when I start to lose my motivation (because things aren't happening quickly enough now) I can rely on you to put up a post that gives me hope. I have 'clawed back' 4 of the 5 kilos I 'found' again since Christmas (goal achieved). If this doesn't teach me a darn lesson, then I really don't know what will.
I have been doing my best to stick to a stricter version of Dukan (white and green), White protein mostly and Green Veg mostly. So my whites have also included Salmon which isn't exactly white but at least it's fish (but may be a little too fish oily for having too often - but I LOVVVEEEE it) and my Greens have included Cauliflower too (which I've decided is an albino Green lol). I did break the Green and White rule yesterday and had a Steak and coloured veg when we were out to lunch and I did add some tomato to my Turkey Taco Salad last night. Back to white and green today. I haven't been 'perfect' but I have been trying.
I also haven't been exercising and I know I should. I have (self diagnosed) bursitis in both hips now. Right hip has been a problem for almost 5yrs. Went to Dr about it, had xrays, nothing sinister going on, and he put it down to Endometriosis. Well now Left hip has joined in. It's mostly a problem when I sleep and roll onto my side (about 100 times a night) and it wakes me up. And if I sit too long, I am very stiff when I get up. And I've noticed that when I'm out and about (and in my flats) I feel a 'jarring' in them, so the idea of strapping on my joggers and pounding the pavement is not so appealing. I should get on the treadmill I know, but damn I just feel so lazy. We bought a new mattress yesterday which should be here later this week, hoping that this will help and I can get better sleep, less pain and feel more motivated to move. Hoping that will kick this Dukan dieting up a notch and get things moving again more quickly.
Anyway, PP Day for me. I have some Salmon and Prawns in the fridge already cooked (that need using) and a slab of Turkey mince to make into a Metza later so that will keep me going today. Keep up the great work Judy, you are the light at the end of my tunnel xoxo

Hi Girls,
Judy you're going great!!
Shellie - I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain, hang in there hun, you're doing such an amazing job ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
I apologise for bailing - as you know I've had a few major things happening for the last several months or so ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png) I've been working on changing a LOT of things - one being my diet/exercise but I wasn't ready until a few days ago but since I feel a bit better now (meds are starting to work I think) & I've seen my doctor a few times I'm jumping back in. I'm not doing Dukan, I'm not sure what I'm doing lol - I'll be less vague when I figure out what it is exactly ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I hope that makes sense xo
