Dukan Diet Personalized Weight Loss – Day 30

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.


Weight Loss Chart


Starting Weight: 128 lbs
Goal Weight: 114 lbs

(FYI! In case you are new here and haven’t read my older posts, please take note that I am PETITE! I am 5′ 21/2” tall. I weighed between 100 and 110lbs most of my adult life before having children. My doctor has approved my weight loss goal of 114 lbs.)

Attack Phase:

  • Day 1 – I weighed in at 127.8 lbs (12 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 2 – I weighed in at 125.0 lbs (10 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 3 – I weighed in at 124.2 lbs (9 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 4 – I weighed in at 124.2 lbs (9 lbs over goal weight)

Cruise Phase:

  • Day 6 – I weighed in at 123.2 lbs (8 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 7 – I weighed in at 124.0 lbs (9 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 8 – I weighed in at 124.6 lbs (9 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 9 – I weighed in at 124.0 lbs (9 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 10 – I weighed in at 123.2 lbs (8 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 11 – I weighed in at 123.4 lbs (8 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 12 – I weighed in at 122.0 lbs (7 lbs over goal weight)

  • Day 19 – I weighed in at 120.6 lbs (5 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 20 – I weighed in at 120.2 lbs (5 lbs over goal weight)
  • Day 21 – I weighed in at 119.6 lbs (4 lbs over goal weight)

  • Day 30 – I weighed in at 115.4 lbs (.04 lbs over goal weight)

Once I get down to 114 lbs or less, I can start the “Consolidation Phase”.

(Click here to read about the 4 Phases of the Dukan Diet.)

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 today that I actually bothered to photograph for you gals. I actually altered the recipe a bit so it’s not exact from the cookbook, but it’s pretty close…

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 HotPantsβ„’! Specially designed with Celu-Lite technology fabric lining, HotPantsβ„’ 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, HotPantsβ„’ 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 HotPantsβ„’ 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.

Head to Amazon.com (or your local bookstore if you’re old fashioned) and get yourself a copy of The Dukan Diet: 2 Steps to Lose the Weight, 2 Steps to Keep It Off Forever and The Dukan Diet Cookbook: The Essential Companion to the Dukan Diet.

Please go ahead and ask me anything in the comments area, but BE NICE! No more hate mail please!!!! I’d love to hear from those of you that are trying to lose weight or at least WANT to lose weight and want to offer or get encouragement and support! If you’re the quiet type, at least bookmark Dukan Diet or leave the tab open on your browser so you can stay updated on my weight loss as I go!

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. Please email me or leave a comment if you have any questions/concerns!

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.

We are already dreaming about going back to @story We are already dreaming about going back to @storylandnh! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Last year we took our @wonderfoldwagon and it was a total game changer with five kids! (Especially our autistic son!) It made trucking all of our children around the theme park 100 times easier. 

I’m so glad I got the four seater wagon despite some people saying it would be too big. It has room for absolutely everything we need to take with us including a cooler full of food for our family of seven. 

I can’t wait to see all of the fun adventures we will have this summer with our Wonderful Wagon.

In these uncertain times we live in, it sometimes In these uncertain times we live in, it sometimes seems silly to decorate or worry about how things β€œlook” but you have to remember that changing the world starts at home. Being a homemaker is an important and often overlooked job. Home is the starting point for love, life, and dreams. So go ahead and make your home look good! 

There’s no place like home. 🏠❀️

🚨STOP what you’re doing and read this! πŸ‘‡πŸ»

You know how they say β€œEarth Day Is Every Day”? Well, that’s because you shouldn’t only think about swapping out your toxic cleaning supplies and pledging to use reusable bags only on Earth Day. That’s just one day a year and if we really want to be more eco-conscious, we need to make small changes every day towards caring for ourselves and the earth.

One small step you can take is investing in eco-friendly fashion. But where do you start?

A @jeltbelt! Not only are Jelt Belts designed sustainably, with comfortable, premium elastic that is made from recycled plastic bottles, they are also flat and don’t show under clothes! Best of all, they are completely metal-free and hypoallergenic. 

Finally a belt that fits great and doesn't pinch, dig, or slide up! I love it! Definitely a wardrobe staple.

Read more about this belt in today's post on the blog! Link in bio.

I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3- I recently added the @DeltaChildren PerfectSize 3-in-1 Convertible Sink to my downstairs bathroom to make unassisted handwashing more accessible for my two youngest kids (ages 2 and almost 5). 

Our downstairs half bath is TINY but because of the compact size of the convertible sink, we managed to slide the sink in right next to our @NubyUSA potty. And yes, the bathroom door still closes! 

We have a faucet extender and step stool at the regular sink, but this has made handwashing a novelty for the boys since it's right at their level and right next to their potty. It's the perfect height for both my 2-year-old son AND my autistic son who is almost 5 years old (pictured). ♾️

It holds enough water in the upper tank for both children to wash and rinse their hands once each and the holding tank in the back for the gray water is easy to empty into the sink or toilet when they are done. If they just want to play with the water and their hands aren't actually dirty, I just pour the "gray water" back into the upper holding tank and let them play with it again to conserve water. (An important lesson and learning opportunity for Earth Week) πŸ’¦

In addition to being a great addition to a Montessori bathroom setup, you can also convert the Delta Children sink into a step stool and then use the upper part as a bath toy because it's shaped conveniently to sit on the side of the tub. 

Will link to the sink and potty in my stories! 🚽🚰

β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, the β€œUnless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.”
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

β€œHe himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ 

Let us not forget the significance of Good Friday. For on this day, Jesus was thinking about YOU!
