I can’t believe it’s already been one month since I started the Dukan Diet! It doesn’t seem like I have been on a diet that long. “Time flies when you’re having fun!” ??
Today is my biggest success so far. I finally reached 115 pounds!!!!!!!!!!
Please join me in a happy dance at this time…
I was all happy this weekend because Saturday (day 27) and Sunday (day 28) I weighed in at 116.6 lbs both days. Yipeee! Then all of a sudden yesterday, Monday (day 29) I got on the scale and it said 117.6 lbs! ACK! I thought for sure I’d hit another horrid plateau right before my goal! Luckily today, God rewarded my efforts and I weighed in at 115.4 lbs!
Stop! Wait! Hear that? Yup… it’s the Hallelujah chorus.

I’M ALMOST THERE Y’ALL!!!!!!!!!!!
My goal this entire time was to get under 120 lbs before my best friend’s wedding on July 21st. I not only got under 120 lbs but I might just make it to my goal weight of 114 lbs by the end of the week, which is just in time! Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
I made another recipe from the The Dukan Diet Cookbook: The Essential Companion to the Dukan Diet
I present to you, my Salmon Tuna Cakes!
Now that’s just totally Pinterest worthy, ain’t it?
Not only did I get my two kids (5 years old and 23 months old) to eat it, but I got my super, SUPER picky husband to eat it too! I put soy sauce on mine, my husband ate his with horseradish sauce and the kids ate their’s with ketchup. Yum!
I didn’t wear my Zaggora Hot Pants over the weekend. I wore them all day yesterday and all day today though. So I’ve worn them a total of 5 full days now. I definitely think they are helping with my weight loss.
In the first three days of wearing them I lost 2 inches from my waist, 3 inches from around my hips and 2 inches from around EACH thigh. And I lost one pound each day I was wearing them. These Hot Pants in conjunction with the Dukan Diet really kick ass.
About Zaggora Hot Pants
Women lose weight 4x faster wearing HotPants™! Specially designed with Celu-Lite technology fabric lining, HotPants™ enhance your natural body temperature to warm you up in the areas you want to target most (thighs, bum, and legs).
Tested at the Chelsea School at Brighton University, HotPants™ are proven to use your body heat to increase energy expenditure before and after exercise by raising your core body temperature by up to 18%. Since you’re heating up and your body is using more energy, you are burning more calories; calorie burn increases by 26% in the hour after exercise with HotPants™ too. As we all know, as you burn calories, you lose weight.
I’m going to write a separate post about these Hot Pants after I’ve worn them for 14 days.

Disclaimer: I received the Dukan Diet book, the Dukan Cookbook, Dukan Organic Oat Bran, Dukan Stevia and Dukan Cocoa Powder to review on The Fashionable Housewife. I have NOT received compensation for posting about the diet! Posting about my weight loss is entirely my choice. I am not being paid to review the Dukan Diet or to lose weight. (Unfortunately!) This is raw footage into my personal weight loss experience, I just received the books and a couple Dukan products to “review” which is helping me on my own personal journey.
