My Dukan Story Continues...

I quick update on my weight loss.

After 44 Days on The Dukan Diet, I have lost a total of 9kg, which is just under 20lbs.

This "before" photo was taken on Boxing Day in December and when I saw myself, that was it.  I detested what I saw but you know what?  A photo NEVER lies!  At that moment I saw myself as an official FATTY and took it upon myself to change that. 


Over the next few days, I googled and researched for a realistic eating plan that I could stick to for the next six months, as I did a BMI test online which categorized me as MORBIDLY OBESE.  God that was a slap in the fucking face.  I had 15kg to loose to get back to the weight I was on my wedding day!  I must say, I was shocked but reality sunk in and I knew I had to do something.  I couldn't just keep buying bigger clothes. 


I stumbled across The Dukan Diet, I wasn't sure if it was going to work for me because high protein diets never worked for me in the past.  However, now that I'm a bit older (I'll be 40 in June), I figured that I had nothing to loose.  I went to Exclusive Books bought the Dukan Diet book.  I read it cover to cover and got seriously motivated!


I created myself a vision board of what I pictured myself looking like in six month's time.  I stuck my wedding picture up at work and a picture of me in a cat suit when I was at my slimmest.  It has motivated me everyday to eat the right foods and stick to the plan without cheating. 

It hasn't been easy and its still not easy.  I'm still only in the middle of the road but I'm half way there!  More than half way there, actually!

All those times when I was at a party or function and I wanted a piece of chocolate cake but refused, all those times that the girls at work brought in goodies to the office or wanted me to eat their Valentines candy. 

Nope not me.


I've been working hard and pushing myself to go to gym everyday and work out a wee bit harder each time.  I can now say that I can run for 30 minutes solid on the treadmill before breaking a sweat.  Its an awesome feeling.


I have been sickeningly good - I do allow myself a glass of wine every now and then...A girl's gotta get her wine on

I was far too ashamed to share my FAT photo with the world but now that I am over half way to my goal, I don't feel THAT bad

Wish me luck for the next few months getting rid of the last 6 or 7kg.

Dukan Diet Update

Unstoppable and a Dukan Diet Update

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."


- Thomas Jefferson - 

I don't have a real post today.  I'm so busy at work with our up and coming Homemakers Expo and the girls going back to school and organising their combined birthday party for this weekend.

Dukan Diet Update:  

Day #15 and I'm down exactly 5.1kg (11.2lbs) and going strong. I also had a big of a tummy buy yesterday and couldn't hold down much at all.  Drinking tons of water and eating loads of protein. I even had two bites of chocolate cake to celebrate my daughter's 9th birthday - my only cheat so far.

Sorry for the poor cellphone pic.  But you get the idea.  Go Meeeee!

New Years Resolutions. Go ahead and pull up a sofa.

Last year on the 2nd of January I stopped smoking. I normally don't stick to New Year's Resolutions but this was one I was pretty serious about.

I was successful going cold turkey and have been nicotine free since then. In the process, I have put on 10kgs and become a fully fledge fat-arsed fatty. So, this year my New Year's Resolution is to loose weight.

Most of you know that my weight has yo-yoed over the years and, if my mind and heart is not 100% willing, NOTHING works.  I know, I've tried. 

This is now the time to shed it.

I have a plan, I have my menu, I have my gym schedule, I don't want to be a fatty anymore.

Watch this space!

The Success of Simply Slim

I've been on Simply Slim natural weight loss capsules for 8 days now.  Together with watching what I eat and cutting out junk, I've lost a total of 3kg

Luckily the only side affect that I experienced was a constant dry mouth, which forced me to drink between 3 and 4 litres of water a day to quench my relentless thirst.  I won't complain about that, because I usually have to force myself to drink even half a litre a day.  I didn't experience insomnia like I experienced with many other weight loss products so, I could still get my very important beauty sleep at night.

Just thought I'd share this with everyone as it really wasn't that difficult - my appeteit was suppressed and my energy and concentration levels went up.

Wish me luck for next week!
