Hello All,
I started CSD today for the first time.
I am munching on watermelon and grapes.
I have to go home and make the soup.
My goal is to loose 25-30 lbs by thanksgiving.
Hopefully I will loose some weight this week

Welcom aboard Chunnu!

Congradulations on starting the diet! Get creative when making the soup, I always use extra onions and keep my veggies in big bit size pieces, but others put it in the blender. I am sure you will find your own flair

My goal is to drop 30 pounds by Nov 1, I know I can do it since I have done it before. The harder part is making those life changes to keep it off but with the support here we will all be stars

Thanks Nancy, for the encouragement.
I am planning to put onions, mint and all kinds of veggies and planning to add a small spoon of corn powder. I am from India, so probably I will give it an Indian touch:)
I hope I can reduce min 5 lbs the first week. Lets see how much both of us will loose by Nov 1st
Happy weight loss!!

Speaking of the soup, I don't think I made it right, I didn't have enough ingredients, and I was missing mushrooms, I put more of the cabbage instead. I don't know if it will still work.

I never put mushrooms in my soup I just don't like them. I also don't like chucks of cooked tomato or green pepper so I puree them (I like the taste) So don't worry is your soup does not follow the receipe exact. Make it taste good for yourself!

Hey you guys! I'm also wanting to join you guys I'm currently 5'6" and I weigh 175. I need to lose at least 25 lbs in order to be healthy, but I'm wanting to slim down my size before I grad. Perhaps...130lbs? So, I have about 45lbs to lose before december! Hopefully, I'll make it. Haha =P

And also...I've always wanted to know. How many servings does a normal cabbage soup recipe have? And how do you guys perserve it? Mine lasted about 3 days out in the kitchen, but I'm assuming you guys all keep it in a fridge for about a week? Or, does it last however long it takes you to eat it? Help!!

hey girls!
not on right now because it is my 40th birthday today! i did lose the 9 pounds i wanted to lose by this date, but i've eaten so many rich, heavy foods today and no doubt tomorrow, that i think i gained it back!! its amazing how your body feels so heavy, clogged and bloated when you go back to junk food. i actually miss feeling how i did while on this diet. i am going to be awAY until the 4th of sept. but will be starting again after that. good luck to all of you in the meantime!!
maybe i'll hear from you again here in sept. best of luck to you nancy and thanks for the support!!
cheers,
teresa

fishyfishies, when I make my soup I put it into 2 quart containers then store in the fridge each day I take one out and bring to work to eat, sometimes I eat it all other days I am not as hungry. The amt I make sometimes varies a bit but I usually have 4 or 5 containers and they last me form 3 to 5 days so there is mot real magic rule.

teresac, happy birthday! and we will miss you while you are gone but I will be here waiting to start another round with ya
