Is my pekin bantam male or female?

[lillybettybabs]

Now i have never been or needed to go on a diet before, I cam normally eat what i want as long as i stay

active. Turning 37 i have noticed a small spread forming around arms and tummy so after a lot of research i have

bought a seconded hand book on Dr Dukan Diet.

has anyone tried it? I need something that doesn't leave me hungry as i will start to shake so hopefully a high protein

one will work.

I once tried the South Beach Diet, Karen... mainly as my boss at the time was on it and he needed support It was really good, but I am finding the 5:2 one easier to follow and the weight loss faster. You know of my love for cooked breakfasts and cake so it has to be easy for me to follow or I just won't stick to it.

 

Good luck and we'll swap notes on Sunday

2lb loss after one day! I know it will be water but being female that's still great news.

Meals are filling me up and i have plenty of energy. I made some wraps out of oat bran, egg and yogurt for a bread substitute, i filled them will steak and had a yogurt mint dressing with it for tea last night. I have ordered a second hand recipe book for puddings etc.

No shaking which is great news!

[The Dogmother]

That's all good news

[lillybettybabs]

I've just made some little baked lemon cheese cakes with oatbran as the base, the taste sooooo creamy

you wouldn't think it was made with 0 fat yogurt and cream cheese.

[The Dogmother]

Ooo, any chance of the recipe?

[clucker1]

ditto, lemon cheese cake recipe please

[The Dogmother]

I think you'd better start a thread for the recipe, Karen!

[Lavenders_Blue]

That does sound exceptionally yummy - me three for the recipe, please!

[lillybettybabs]

Another 1lb lost which is great!

The cheese cake was an experiment with what i had in the cupboards, I only made 8 cup cake holders

full so i will need to work out a recipe for a full cheese cake.

[lillybettybabs]

Another 3lb lost! two more days and i am then onto the cruise phase.

[The Dogmother]

Will you have wasted away by the time I see you tomorrow?

[lillybettybabs]

Started the second phase last Monday so veg are being introduced again. Weight dropping off slower

so i know that this is proper weight loss now.

1st 10lbs lost so far!

[lillybettybabs]

I am just 6lb of loosing 2st in one month!

[LolaLayla]

Wow LBB what great weight loss

[The Dogmother]

Wooo!

 

I saw LBB on Saturday and she looked a lot slimmer.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's a great achievement, well done .

[lillybettybabs]

Thank you! The only thing i missed is the odd glass of wine, everything else has a low fat or sugar free

alternative . There is a forum for support and yummy recipes that have kept things tasty

[The Dogmother]

How's OH getting on with the fat free options?

[lillybettybabs]
