Welcome Karrmr. .......I would say no...but you will have loose bowel movements because of all the fiber you are eating. ...especially if you are not used to so much fiber. Some weigh themselves everyday...but I think it is better to weigh in at the end of your 7th day....of course...that's my opinion.  Many if not most members seem to weigh themselves often...as much as everyday...that's up to you.  Sometimes when there is no loss...one gets discouraged and starts to cheat or drop out because they think...what's the use...nothings happening....

Hi Karrmr...........I start my 6th day tomorrow....I have not weighed myself....I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit, not the numbers on the scale....but....that's me.  I can tell I have lost.  No, it is not unreasonable to want to lose that much...but this is a jumpstart type of diet that you really shouldn't expect to lose all your weight on.  If you read through some of the posts you will see that people go on this diet a week...go off onto some other diet a week or two and come back to this again.  Many go on the south beach diet inbetween.  You will get a lot of info by digging into the posts that are on this site......That is kind of what I did and I got a lot of ideas and info that way....................I'm sure others will post info to your questions with additional info...good luck to you!

Welcome Don ...I start my 6th day tomorrow and I have had no trouble following this plan.  Best of luck to you!

Does anyone know if you allowed low fat milk in the tea on Day One?  I didnt think to cross check this before but I guess out of habbit I drank it that way (no sugar), hope its ok, oh dear!

Good luck Vero, you can do it.  Just exercise and drink lots of water and eat healthy, you can do it.  I know a guy that works with me and in a month he lost 30lbs, so you can do it too.

Welcome verorod4.........BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!      Get that soup made and you are on your way........

vero if you stick to csd and watch what you eat on the off weeks you will meet your goal of 20 pounds gone!

The first week is always the hardest, make sure you take a break between weeks.  So of us do south beach some just cut back and continue eating healthy  what ever is going to work for you

matiz- if you are doing the "new" csd you are allowed 8oz of skim milk a day or a yogurt but not both

Hi Nancy-mrn....Is that the only difference between the two??  I have not seen this new CSD...where can one find it?  Are most on the old diet or are they switching over to the new one...I have been following the one outlined on this website.

I started the csd today and I love it. I think the soup is fantastic, although I am sure i won't be saying that next week. I have been to the bathroom 4 times. I was unsure about the safeness of this diet at first(I used to work @ LA weight loss), but after cleaning out my system today I think the diet must be pretty good for you. Atleast as a healthy way to detox.
I weigh 145 and I would like to get to 135/ I have been there before and it is my ideal weight.
Just finished dinner and I am trying to get motivated to go upstairs and do an hour walk on DEMAND!!
I hope to have some great discussions with you all and that we will all be celebrating soon!!

brookside, the best i can recall that is really the only differnce and a tbl of low-fat, or no-fat dressing, and use any herb or spices you like

so the new csd is follow the same plan, and add 8oz serving of fat free milk or yogurt, and the fat-free dressing
