Time on Dukan = 9months 3days. Total Weight Loss = 25kgs
Monday again.....same weight again......starting again.........(sigh)
So this last week I actually just had a week of PV, didn't really follow any other rules other than that one. After the fruit salad earlier in the week I felt my body was just screaming out of lots of veg, on any other diet it would have been considered a really healthy week (minus the alcohol and nut spread). So here we go again. Back to Dukan proper. I was hoping for a lunch out today but DH seems to have 'come over all funny, headache, nausea, hot flash (welcome to my world), so I've sent him to bed for a nap with a glass of water and some headache pills. Hoping we wakes up feeling better and we can have a nice lunch. Anyway, what will be, will be......
Monday 24/11/14 PV Day B- Coffee S- Chicken Breast, Cherry Toms, Cream Cheese L- Tossed Salad with Avo, 2 Chicken Tenders (crumbed), Cream Cheese S- D- BBQ Lamb(very lean), turkey sausage, fried egg, tossed salad with Avo & Mango Vinegarette S - Few No Sugar Lollies Exercise - gardening Alcohol- NOPE
Tuesday 25/11/14 PP Day - 1 month till Christmas B- Coffee S- Macca's Skim Cap L- Deli Turkey Meat S- D- 1 Chicken Kebab, Turkey Meatloaf with Low Carb/Low Sugar BBQ Sauce, Smoked Salmon S - Exercise- Shopping (lots of indoor walking) Alcohol- YEP - and it was lovvvvvvvvvvelllyyyyy. Bacardi & Waterford Mineral Water
Wednesday 26/11/14 PV Day B- S- L- S- D- S- Exercise- Alcohol-

Hi Girls well Im doing the 5;2 diet. Ive heard that it works well. You eat normally for 5 days (without being silly) and then 2 (non-consecutive) days have only 500 cals Im on my 2 nd fast day today for the week and so far do not find it hard. I think it will suit my lifestyle better as it will be so much easier when traveling ( we won’t be doing as much next couple of years with new owners at my work ). I am also hating/dreading the PP days so much. I did also do a PP day this week so we’ll see how I go. Im the lowest today since I’ve been back from our holiday and today is a fast day so I’m hoping tomorrow will be even better. Next week we only have dinner at home once in the whole week so I dont expect to be able to do anything except be sensible??? but it will be hard as Im sure there will be alcohol at every occasion.!! But its 2 weeks of lots of socializing and then a quieter week and then we go away for a fortnight. Most of this break will be on our own ( apart from being in Perth for a couple of days with our friends) so i can do this!! Im excited about not having to cook everything on a “diet” day but can have some fruit and salad and vegies

I think there is a million ways to 'skin this cat' Judy, whatever works for you. I am oddly NOT hating the PP Days. What I don't like is having a bunch of new recipes in mind and having to wait every 2nd day for a PV Day to cook them. And having to wait 2 days to eat the leftovers, lol. I am very stagnate at the moment. Holding my loss fine, just not progressing further. Probably need a little 'attack' (or a few days without Bacardi, lol).

Shellie- you are doing well to 'hold your loss’- dont forget its been a big one! I lost 600grams this week so Im am very pleased. This week is going to be difficult as we are out every night until next Monday I have made some very low calorie soup and will have to be very good during the day if going out for dinner- not to mention the alcohol Today is a 500 cal day and Im on track with that so far Tomorrow DD29 is having a thermomix party- our other plans were postponed so we are going there as she needs another person and they cook enough for dinner. I will take my soup to work with yogurt and some fruit.

I did put on 400grams this week and that is better than I expected. We are out for dinner every night until next Monday so I expect I will put on again next week. (After that I will LOSE!!) So this week i will do the same -having salads and soup for lunch and smoothies for breakfast with yogurt, fruit and maybe some nuts during the day. Ill also try to have a water bottle with me all the time especially when we go out.

Considering your social week Judy, I think that's a good result.
As for me I am maintaining, well the scale tends to go up and and down during the week but by weigh in day (Monday's) it's back to the same as last week and the week before and the month before.
I am trying really hard now not to blur the lines leading up until Christmas. I am 1.6 (on the dot)-1.8 (buffer) away from my 2014 goal. Feeling a little stupid really considering I was at this stage 2months ago also.
I know what it is. Anxiety, too busy to prepare correct food, not putting exercise on the list let alone 1st on the list. I am so tired too, which doesn't help me make good choices. So after my refreshing sleep, with DMum on the mend and Christmas almost sorted, I should be able to 'calm my farm' and get back to some proper Dukan Eating. I know it works, I have 24kgs loss to prove it, I just need to stop 'friggin' around and 'just do it'.
I have taken today to do a little advance cooking, some grocery list making and I am trying a few new recipes with Christmas in mind (and getting through the 'nibbles' part of the day.) I made a nice Philly & Salmon Dip which I could happily have with veggie stick, and I am going to try another version too, maybe onion dip or Salsa (Just to have some variety). My kids tend to gravitate to the things I've made when we take things to share. I guess it's either they know they like it or they just know Mum's a good cook.
So onwards and downwards form here
Monday 8/12/14 - PP Day - 17days till Christmas B- Coffee S- Dukan Cookie L- Marinated Chicken thigh, Cottage Cheese, Dukan Bread S- Coffee D- Marinated Chicken, Grilled Salmon S- DeCafe Coffee, Diet Jelly, Vanilla Yoghurt Exercise - Alcohol
Tuesday 9/12/14 - PV Day - 16days till Christmas B- S- L- S- D- S-
Wednesday 10/12/14 - PP Day - 15days till Christmas B- S- L- S- D- S-
Thursday 11/12/14- PV Day - 14day till Christmas

The scales are not being kind to me. I am feeling really defeated today. 2 weeks and counting to Christmas and I just can't see my losing these final few kilo's to get to goal. I know I will be so deflated if I don't get there. And I was hoping for a 'buffer' below goal so I could actually enjoy Christmas day and NOT be 'hung up' on the diet.
So mad with myself, no one else to blame. I try to stick to the diet rules and for the most part I do. Just sometimes I stray at the end of the day. Like last night, I was so good all day, didn't get the exercise in again but then really didn't stop much during the day so there was plenty of 'unintentional exercise' (it must burn some calories too), then long after I should have been in bed I decided to have bread and cheese AND BUTTER. What was I thinking. I was over tired and stressed (as DD20 and her BF were in Sydney to see a stage show and I was concerned for their safety. Plus things are feeling a little tense with DH.And add to that Christmas and DMum is all on my shoulder only). But how did not going to bed and eating Bread and Cheese AND BUTTER help. It DIDN'T. I have just woken this morning full of regret and feeling defeated. Of all the things to eat. OMG SHELLIE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I guess I need to pull up my boot straps, change my attitude and move into day trying my best to get this done. Why oh WHY has it taken so long to win the battle of these last few kilos. And to think, this goal is NOT the end of my journey, just the milestone I wanted to reach by Christmas Day. I could just cry.
Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening. Oh Shellie. Sorry for the late reply - I’ve only just seen this now, I’m sorry you feel that way.
You’ve had such an amazing weight loss this year, don’t lose sight of what you’ve already achieved (much of it on your own). You’ve inspired me to jump back in again in the new year, despite my constant failings. Even if you don’t hit the goal on Christmas day, think about how it was last Christmas, about how far you’ve come & congratulate your awesome self sitting at the table in your smaller pants this year. You deserve to feel good about losing 25 kilos & keeping it off for a year, my friend, because that’s no mean feat.

Thanks Elasti, I am feeling a little less 'down in the mouth' about it. Thanks to you. No matter my weight on Christmas Morning (goal day) I will try to embrace the achievements I have made. I do feel I am 'head down' to the finish line. I have my head 'sorted' out a bit. We went to a 30th Bday last night and I was good. In fact good all day. I avoided the Alcohol ( I was driving so that wasn't too hard, DH did offer to drive, which again is not one of his more helpful moves, but I said "No, I am supposed to be on a diet"), I stuck to the roast meat and basic salad (although I did have a little Cesar salad) avoided the bread, potatoes with sour cream, pasta/rice/potato salads and I avoided the desserts. When dessert was announced I excused myself to go to the loo and then stood outside for awhile. But heaps of people got their desserts and came outside to eat them to get away from the loud music, so still temptation where ever I was. But I was good. Add to that, DD16 and I had a walk yesterday.
Hoping today is full of good choices.
I have seen some movement on the scales in the right direction. I have 1.6kgs to lose in 11 days. Doable yes, but doable for me, I don't know. Can't hurt to try.

Exactly. All you can do is try. You've done so well so far, you can do this, one day at a time.

Oh Shellie, you are AMAZING!! I can’t believe how much weight you HAVE lost! You did so well at that party and that is always so hard. That is my downfall! I can’t have tempting food around me as i just give in too easily! Even if you dont reach your exact goal, you are SO close and should be so PROUD!!
