Dear Pierre Dukan

Here, have a chocolate eclair. It's on me.

No, wait - it's OFF me. Booyah!

I started this diet hovering around 138. I did get as low as 136, but then I'd kind of bounce back up. I've been trying to lose 40ish lbs since Princess P was born in Feb 2011. I'm now 3.5 months postpartum and have lost a grand total of 36lbs - and three of those were in the past three days!

And it's because of this awesome notion, the Dukan Diet. I have been on the diet for 4 days (I'm on Day 4 now) and have lost a total of 3lbs and 1.5 inches. That was enough to take me down a full dress size (according to the Bill Levkoff size chart, which is just the yardstick I picked out to get an idea of how many pounds it takes to lose a size.)

To put this into perspective, when I got pg with Boy Wonder, I would have had to order a size 18. I lost a whack of weight, and when I got pg with Princess P I would have had to order a size 8. Now I would have to order a size 10.

I'm only one size away! Yeeeeeeee ha!

I weighed in yesterday at 134, and did again today - which prompted me to check my measurements. I am thrilled. I have another 2-3 days on the Attack phase, then I get to move into Cruise (alternating pure protein days with protein and veg days) for the month of June. I really seriously think that I'm going to hit goal weight of 125 long before my 30th birthday at the end of August. I'm so excited.

Thanks again, Pierre!
