About
Hello everyone
My name is Shannon, I’m 30 years old and I’m looking forward to being thin!!
I’ve tried so many things including eating a really low calorie diet, slimming world and exercise but keep putting on more weight!!
Wish me luck on Dukan!
I work for an American salvage company in the UK and am also studying AAT level 3 at college two evenings a week (drain!)
I live in Ramsgate in Kent and am engaged!!
Update December 2012:
So, I’m now 31 and a half, (still engaged) and I have lost about 1.5 – 2 stone on the Dukan diet.
I keep fluctuating back and forth those few pounds when I am naughty and drink wine or eat wheat.
I have decided to kind of keep to the dukan principles but be completely wheat free. I have also introduced flaxseed into my diet to take over the oat bran for the most part. It has a lot lower carb intake.
I am planning to be low carb – high fat as much as I can, but I still want to lose a bit more weight. I think around or just under the 60kg mark would be good for me. (so 9kg’s to lose then – yikes!) This is about 132 lbs or 9 stone 4.
I would feel much more comfortable at this weight. I have been able to stabilize my weight ok, so I need to push the exercise and stay away from the wheat to drop it.
Enjoy my blog and thanks for reading!
Hey Shannon,
I found your blog from Sonia’s. I’m on cruise too. This is my third week on dukan and I’m stalled weight loss wise. GRRR. I love pv days but I think I’m going to try 3 days pp and see if it moves scale. Love your blog!

Hi Anna,
I found doing a few days of ‘protein only’ helps when you’ve stalled plus drinking loads of water. Thanks for the comment and good luck!!
Shannon, I nominated you for a Very Inspiring Blogger award. Thanks for inspiring me by being so amazing at 30 years old.
Wow, really? Thank you so much! yay I have won an award!! 🙂 🙂 😉
Hi Shannon! I follow South Beach Diet, am 20+ years older than you, live in Broadstairs and I AM an American! Good luck on Dukan and congrats on your engagement and upcoming wedding.
Hello fellow Thanet-onian! hows your southbeach diet going? Thanks for the message! 🙂
My Beach has gone South! I really need to get my mindset going on this again because my weight is slowly creeping back up. Aarghh!!
Hi Shannon, I just started Atkins. But Dukan is the next in my list if this doesn’t work. Just started reading your blog.
