Hi Sunnyatl1 - great to hear you are starting the diet, I wish you good luck!! I can't believe your friend would do that with the cake & ice cream!!! - maybe you should banish her from living with you for the week!! If it's your favourite stuff then it really will be a true test, if you get through that though I'm sure you will have no problem completing the week!!

You have the added bonus of day 1 being a day when you will probably really enjoy your soup, some of us who are in the later stages of the week's diet are a little bored of it now, but the first few days it tastes lovely, so hopefully the excitement of doing the diet, losing some lbs & enjoying your soup & fruit will help to keep your willpower .... good luck!!!

You should definitely keep posting on the site, get your self at least one buddy who is on the diet with you, you can message each other to keep each other motivated & on track! I'm on day 6 & I know a lot of the fact I have managed to stick to it is due to my fellow posters on this site - we've messaged each other each day & we're all doing really well & sticking to it!!

I wish the very best of luck, you can do it!!

I started the diet on Sunday too.  I spiced up the soup a bit by using Spicy V8 juice and diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings cooked it up and put it in a blender.  The soup isn't bad - but ask me again in a few days!  I had a bowl with every meal.  Loved the baked potato and am looking forward to fruit and veggies tomorrow.

I'd liek to lose 15 pounds and am using this to jump start my weight loss.  It's a real test of my will power.
