Hi Nancy,

I have done the cabbage soup diet over 6 years ago lost inches more than weight and I felt wonderful on it! I never made the soup but had cabbage soup tablets instead.

Finally have got round to deciding to do it again started today the hard thing will be cutting out the glass of wine I have every night! 

So look forward to joining you all ready for the next few days and l hate day 4 too

Hi Nikldollars,

I have been informed that I have been irritable too LOL ! but I feel ok. Got through DAY 1 and of course I bought way too much fruit but hopefully some will last until tomorrow.

I want to lose around 50lbs too ad will be glad of the support. looking forward to my sweet potato instead of the baked potato tonight.

I welcome any tips or tasty suggestions

Katz88, Annyalla, Nikldollars! 

Great to have you all join me and I look forward to more jumping in.  I need the support  I wish I could find a diet that allowed for my snacks and wine LOL but that is what got me in this condition in the first place.

Well today is kinda like my last "kick up my heels" day.  Family picnic in a few hours and I am being good by bringing a veggie tray..but the dip I made is a no no if I were dieting..mayo, sour cream ...you know all the fatting stuff.  I will try not to really get out of control.

Where are you all from?  It is always interesting to know what part of the world/country everyone lives in.

I am in Washington State and it is a nice overcast and cool day (not typical of august weather)  oh well keep me updated

Welcome Secotine!

Hey Nancy! thanks for the welcome. I look forward to spending the next week or so chatting and supporting each other

I live in Alberta, Canada

I have been on weight watchers for 2 weeks now and have lost 7 lbs already. (My highest weight ever was 241.4). I'm now down to 234.4, and at the end of this CSD, I would like to be roughly in the begining of my 220's...(or less).

I exercise right now daily for about 30min. Nothing too crazy, but it's movement. In about a week or so, I'll be going back to the gym.

After the CSD, I will be going back on weight watchers. It's such a great program. I just need to do this as a boost in the right direction. I was getting sloppy the last few days and I had made the soup anyways, so why not do the full diet? lol

Hope you have a great day at the picnic! I'm going to go and have my first bowl right now

Hey Nancy...yeah, you should check out WW....I LOVE the point system...It works, but it's a gradual loss of 1-2 lbs a week..that's why I'm doing this to jump start this week here.

I do the same thing to my soup! I add diced tomatoes and I add cayenne pepper...I love it spicy!

That's good that you will be incorporating exercise in too..It will help.

So..I had my first bowl of soup today...mmmm I just LOVE the soup! As I mentioned before...I made this soup a number of times in the past just to eat it cuz I enjoyed it so much..but it'll be interesting to see how this diet works out for me and see the pounds drop.

I think I'm going to make a fruit smoothie later...(without the banana though...*sighs*) I'm sure it will still taste good though

So it's 1:11pm right now, and doing great so far! I'm drinking a litre of water right now too. Can't wait for my second bowl! lol

Hi Everyone!!
     I am starting this diet tomorrow also!! I need buddies:bounce:!! This is gonna be really great. I have a class reunion on September 1st , I need to lose about 20 pounds. I think I will like this diet I love veggies! Good luck to you all! I need to go and make the soup, but I will check on ya all tomorrow! Oh and by the way I am from Illinois!!

Hi guys

I'm starting tomorrow MOnday too! Great to have found this forum as I could use some moral support as I find the struggle hard too - have started many times and tend to lapse by day 3. But this week I'm on holiday from work so it should be esaier as I'm at home to make the soup and go to the gym!

I find the lack of a glass of wine in the evenings hard too! Anyway, here's wishing good luck to you all, and I'll be back later.

Hey! Day three is not bad at all....just remember to drink your water!  I am a vegies kind of person any way. I dread day 4....

Hey I do know a way to rev your metabolism.  I take 2 Cinnamon caps. in the morning with my vitamins.  Revs you up w/o any jitters.  

You can do it!!! If I can anybody can....I hate diets.

welcome 20lubstogo!

Hey Nik...yeah, I've been making sure that I'm drinking my water..

Today wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. Once someone tells me I can't have something, I want it even more! lol I almost grabbed a piece of cheese without even realizing it...lol

It's 7:14pm and I stuck to the diet all day.

Had about 6 bowls of soup today...and had a fruit smoothie earlier. I may make another one right now.

Can't wait to see what I weigh tomorrow morning!

Good luck to you all that have started and are starting tomorrow!

Just remember...it's ONLY 7 days of your life. You can do it!

Good morning! Well I've started! I had to struggle with an impulse to put it off till tomorrow when I got up this morning. Itwas the crusty bread nd homemade jam which was seducing me. But I managed to resist and had an apple instead. So now I'm feeling good and motivated and am off to buy some more veg.

Keep going you guys. I know the fact that I had declared my intention here last night helped me this morning - so thanks already.

Welcome Coreen!

Ok..so you guys want the good news or bad news? LOL

I almost made it through my whole day yesturday perfectly, until the end of the night.

I totally messed up while we were watching a movie. I had popcorn and a bit of cheese

Maybe yesterday was just a trial run and I can that means I can start FULLY with you all today! lol

So...Today is Day 1 for me! Yay!

The soup was great all day though. I so enjoyed it. I did get hungry around 7-ish, but had more soup.

Back to the drawing board.

Ok...my weight as of this morning Nancy, is 234.6. That's cool that you are charting this. Will you be taking our weight each day?

Good luck to all of you today! Only 7 days...We can do this!

Hello every one,
I am so glad that there are so many people joining for this week!
I almost did not start today but when I got up the grapefruit saved my life and I did not go for the waffles!
I am from Florida, and I weighted 179 lbs yesterday.
The soup is cooking right now, and it's smelling good! I added a twist to the original version with some garlic cloves and broccoli. I also bought some wonderful cilantro that I will add at the end!
I saw that you were talking about WW for the diet at the end of the week. Anybody else has advise for the rest of the diet?
Have a wonderful day and enjoy your soup!
