Im not doing well at all and am just eating everything in sight. Im just going to concentrate on eating healthily and not letting myself get too hungry. I also think Ive been a bit depressed the last couple of weeks, especially with the really cold weather we were having. Its been a lot better the last few days and Ive felt better too. But really? Ive put on 1.8kgs in the last 3 weeks!!!

Ive put on 1.8kgs in the last 3 weeks!!! When your so busy, working, socializing and RENOVATING, it's kind of hard to prep all food properly. Just try to stick to that and maybe do some 'bulk' cooking to have on hard to help keep you on the straight and narrow.

OK, Well after being so really, really busy and missing a couple of lunches and even an evening meal while renovating, my weight is pretty good. Im only 400 grams away from my lowest weight of a few weeks ago. Also with a DF coming from Perth to stay with us in 2 weeks time, a work dinner with ex-collegues (one of whom has lost 18 kilos since Christmas on 5and 2 diet) in less than 3 weeks and going to a resort in Thailand in 4 weeks- I have lots of incentive to stay on the straight and narrow!!

Hi Judy, Elasti, holding my own here. I am trying, really I am. I even started back with exercise last week, didn't manage everyday 4/6 (although I should have) and it's not power walking yet, but doing what my hips can handle. Dietwise I am doing DUKAN except for the odd slip up, like when the red wine bottle slipped and poured 2.5 glasses on Saturday night and when I slipped out of bed and made a sandwich in the early hours of Sunday morning (couldn't sleep and you know how carbs 'knock you out') or last Wednesday when the Caesar Salad Dressing slipped out of the packet onto the Lettuce, Cheese and Bacon (I threw out the Croutons, aren't I good ), but other than that I felt I was sticking really well. I am doing PP/PV and drinking so much water (in the form of 1.5lts of Green Tea a day plus water and a couple of instant coffees or an instant 47cal Hot Choc). I am limiting my 'Tolerated ingredients' to only on PV Day and having my Oat Bran in yoghurt on PP Days (wondered if I was having too many "Tolerated Foods' in my breads/muffin/foccacia recipe.
I am getting concerned that if I can ever reach my target, that when I move onto the next phase I will pile it back on again, OH GOD!! help me, I don't want to do that. The backslides during birthday week in January, then 21st Birthday & Easter and then again during the Storm Blackout week were bad enough. It has been hard enough to claw this back without backsliding again when I move on.
So here we are, continuing on. I get so mad because I want it DONE....NOW!!!!!! I really am worried that if I struggle so much with these few occasions, then how the heck am I ever going to conquer this. AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
OK, putting my positive pants on. I CAN DO THIS, I WILL DO THIS, I MUST DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tuesday 30/6/15 PP Day (OMG, it's 6months since I hit my goal last Christmas and I am NO FURTHER AHEAD)

Well I'm disappointed with my weekly result. During the week I got less than my weight a couple of weeks ago- the lowest I've had for at least a year. But I obviously over indulged on the weekend. And next week will be worse oh well I put on 200 grams. I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow and by Wednesday it will be good again but we are out to a restaurant on Thursday night with DHs family and DFs are coming over from Perth on the weekend with a group of DFs coming sat night for drinks and nibbles (after having pizzas for dinner) oh well it doesn't happen that often
MONDAY- sensible day DH insists on doing a lemon chicken dish for dinner B- skinny cap l- pumpkin soup, scrambled egg S- nut bar, orange, some walnuts d- lemon chicken with cous-cous
TUESDAY- 500 cal day B-coffee L-tuna, baby spinach tomato S-Kiwi fruit, boiled egg d- fish, beans, brocolli
WEDNESDAY-sensible day- DH has taken out sages and Im not doing PP as I need to use up all our veggies B-cofee L-scrambled eggs D-sausages and stir fried mixed veggies S-
THURSDAY-out for dinner so not much throughout the day FRIDAY Df for dinner and evening which will include wine
SATURDAY- non diet day!
SUNDAY-500 cal (or less day!!)

So even tho I was 200 grams more on Monday than the previous Monday. Today Im 200 grams less than my lowest weight last week. Aaannndd its got a new number in front so Im down another kg. I dont really know what should be my goal weight as I can be 1-2 kgs heavier after a weekend. A woman on another site has her goal weight between 55-60 kilo. I dont think Id ever get as low as 55 (although in my 20s I was 51 - I am light boned, skinny wrists etc) so maybe I should just have my goal as between 57-59.? She weighs herself every week and record the lowest weight of the week. I record Mondays weight. If I recorded lowest each week it would look a lot better lol Ok these are things to think about.

According to people on the 5and 2 forums, ( I confess i haven’t read the book ) Fasting is good for your health and also for weight loss. Even a fast up until dinner time is considered good. I did this yesterday (unplanned as our interstate guests arrived 3 hours earlier than I expected ) I dont have breakfast very often and I was going to eat lunch when I got home from shops (they rang while I was at shops and didn’t get all I wanted to) so with no snacks in the house and no lunch I didn’t eat until we had a chicken stir fry with one pkt hokkien noodles -a pkt for 2 serves which we stretched to 4 serves. I also had 3 or 4 wines and this morning was amazed to see the scales again at that lowest number agin despite an increase of 1.2 kilos over 2 previous days- too many sausages one night for dinner and then restaurant meal with wines the next. So I will be doing that fast on days where we have to go out for dinner!! I also thing having a break from dieting for a week or 2 also helped My only concern is holidays coming up in 2 weeks ill be back where I started

In a world of frustration here Judy, I just can't seem to budge off this number. Hovering around the same weight as Christmas 2015.
Over the last bloody 7 months I have upped and downed a bit. Birthday week in January up 3, then down 3, over Easter up 3 down 3, DD's 21st and the storm week up 5 now that 5 is gone. Always end up back at the same place. Holey Moley it's frustrating. And I remember getting that last 1kg off before Christmas goal was a huge battle too.
I have tried to tighten my Dukan up a bit and made some changes
30mins on treadmill 6/7days (just not enough hours in DMum day on Wednesdays) No tolerated items on PP Day Added 3 cups of Oolong Tea (supposed to be the best for metabolism boosting) Upped my water intake a bit more and added ice to it (it's really too cold for that but I will try just about anything) Hardly any beef, mostly Salmon, Seafood and Chicken Have upped the quanities of Protein as it was suggested on a facebook page I was under eating Veg Days I have been keeps coloured veg to a minimum, sticking with greens and cauli mostly Tried to keep slip ups to a minimum. This week I had 2 Barcardis 1 night, 1 small piece of apple pie with strawberries on Saturday night, wholemeal bread 2 nights for midnight snack. Not perfect I know, but better than I use to be. Cut back on SugarFree lollies Only been out to lunch once in the whole holidays and 1 family BBQ. Chose Sumo High Protein Salad with extra Egg for the lunch and choose only Lean Meat and undressed Salad at the BBQ.
I really really really want to lose another 15kgs (well 14 from here) just to see what it's like, 10kgs would probably be more reasonable, but at this stage I'd be happy with 5kgs or even 1kg.
Ok, onwards and downwards (I hope). Don't the whole post red because that's how frustrated I am

Hi Shellie I think as you have lost so much weight you might need to check how many calories you are eating for eg Salmon is a fatty fish. Even if you are only eating protein there has to be a limit. Have you got My Fitness Pal app. Its very good for logging in foods and doing the calories! Just do it for a couple of days so you can eliminate that reason anyway Its so difficult and you are working so hard!

Shellie, later in the forever stage of Dukan you are only allowed the "white' chicken meat and no oily fish. These are higher in fat so maybe lean beef is a better alternative?
