Dukan Diet Second Round -- Cruise Week 4 Wednesday

Day 29 (October 19, 2011)
Weight: 139lb (63.18kg, 9.93st)
Change: no change
Lost Sept 20-today: 3.5lb
Total lost since February: 19lb (8.64kg, 1.36st)
Milestone (again): below 10st, lost 19lb

Still seeing a 13...  No change is no surprise given the oat cakes I had yesterday.  HOWEVER, I just wanted to mention that my measurements are shrinking.  My underbust is now at an all-time low of 29.75, bust is 36, which means my two 30F/FF bras aren't feeling too tight anymore.  I'm going to have to get some more 30's, as 32 on its tightest hook is not feeling very supportive.

Can't remember what I had for dinner, sorry!

Progress in 100 days of Cruise Phase

Here's the latest measurements for Day 1/30/50/100:
Chest (across the boobs wearing a thin sleep/sports bra): 39-37-36.75-35.75
Underbust: 32-31-30.5-30
Waist (where my natural waist is, which is above my navel): 31-29.5-28.5-28
Hips (around my hip bones): 41-38.5-38-37

Lost inches: 30 days = 7 inches/50 days = 9.25 inches/100 days  =  12.25
Total weight lost: 18.75 lb, 8.52 kg, 1.34 stone.  Lost bodyweight: 11.87%.

I am continuing to do two PP a week.  In March and April I did PP 4x each (1x a week).  In May, I did PP 6x, I had one mini-attack phase of 2, and then I did one week with 2 PP.  So far in June I've done 3 PP, and the scale is moving down faster.  Annoying that I could have been done by now if only I'd done 2 PP a week. 

Bra size:  I am now wearing my 30DD bra that I bought, as my 32DDD/E bras are too big.  I can still wear them on the tightest hook, but the cups are a little big now. 

I tried on my test jeans which on Day 50 I was able to slip on, but couldn't button past the first button.  The other day I was able to button them, and no muffin top!   OK, they're not stretch, so I need to lose another few lbs before they're "comfortable", but I can see progress all the time.

I have a pair of size 2 Target Fit 4 capris that are waiting in the wings.  They fit, but they'll be perfect in another lb or two.  All my other capris fit or are too big.  I bought Size 4 ON capris 2 weeks ago, and shrank them in the wash, but they're almost baggy now!  I had to go to ON yesterday and buy the 2s.  I also got a variety of shorts in 2 and 4.  One pair fits now, others will soon.

Dukan Diet -- Cruise Week 10 Monday

Day 69 (May 9, 2011)

Weight: 146.5lb, no change

IT'S TIME TO PAY DAY!  Couldn't sleep, as I couldn't lay down, I was gasping for air.  I was so bloated!  Check these measurements out:

Underbust normal: 30.5"  this morning it was 34"
Waist normal: 29" this morning it was 34"

Now imagine my poor lungs under all that pressure.  It did help to go to work, where there are no cats (I have 3) and no dog (1).  I am allergic to both, I take allergy pills, but in a crisis like this, it makes the situation much worse, I was wheezing so badly.  The dehydration caused by the wine & salted cashews didn't help either.  Now you can understand why I like the Dukan Diet so much, I feel great on it!  It's just hard to live with NEVER having wheat again...  Every now and then I indulge.  Sometimes I seem to get off scot free, other times it's a nightmare.

Lost inches in the first 30 & 50 days

My measurements (Day 1/Day 30/Day 50):

Chest (across the boobs wearing a thin sleep/sports bra): 39-37-36.75
Underbust: 32-31-30.5
Waist (where my natural waist is, which is above my navel): 31-29.5-28.5
Hips (around my hip bones): 41-38.5-38

The hip measurement is a little misleading, as my butt has risen and rounded w/all the P90X and BBL workouts.  I'm down 2 pant sizes (8-10 to 4-6), and was able to pull on my small old size 7 Levi's 501s (no stretch).  Can't button past the first button yet, but getting closer!

Lost inches: 30 days = 7 inches/50 days = 9.25 inches
Total weight lost: 13.8 lb, 6.25kg, .98 stone.  Lost bodyweight: 8.7%

P90X 30 day measurements (OK, actually day 29)

Did my measurements this morning, I'm down 2 inches in the bust, 1.5 inches in the waist, 1 inch in the hips, now 37-29.5-39.  Bra-wise that's a large 32DDD/E down to a small 32DDD, maybe even a 30DDD.  I'm down to 3 bras I can use.  At least two don't work because all the pushups are making my boobs plump on top, so anything that's tight at the top of the cup looks bad. Clothing size-wise that's a 6.  I wore a skirt that I hadn't worn in three years today, with almost no extra tummy showing.  Yay!
