Since taking a last minute holiday to Spain for 11 days, and eating everything in sight, my weight has peaked at 14 stone 12 lbs. Considering I never wanted to go over 12 stone, and was suicidal at 13 stone, it's a big suprise to me that I'm still here.

A friend of mine is doing the Dukan diet, you can find his blog here. He has inspired me to buy the book (just ordered only £3.99 on Amazon) and I will start it before Christmas if I can as that will be my 10 days on protein only. On Amazon I had a read of some of the book as it lets you look inside, and I'm impressed. My friend has lost 25 lbs from October to November. That's nearly 2 stone, in 6 weeks. I believe we have as much weight to shed as each other, though the online assessment thinks I'll be at an ideal weight of 10 st 2 lbs by July 2012. I sure hope so! Strict strict strict!

edit: almost forgot to tell you my progress with Xenical!

In the month I have been on it, I had 1 week of very bad side effects with the grease, and whilst that has settled down, I have gained half a stone! I am sure the doctor tomorrow will not be very impressed! This is why I am switching to Dukan - fast results ( 7lb weight loss in the first week I think)
