Good luck when you start, I started yesterday (Saturday) and we shall see how it goes, first time doing it, looking for a diet to kickstart some radical changes lol...

Where in Scotland are you from - I stay in Paisley!

I am 11st 7lb as of Friday when I weighed myself...

I don't want to be unrealistic, I will be happy if by the end of the week I am nearly 11ST, my overall target is 9ST and I am hopig to get there in time for the summer...

Need to make positive changes, more exercise and less fast food, alcohol in general bt I do hope the diet can start me on a positive note...

I am going to weigh myself on Monday, which will be my day 3 and by then I hope too have lost a few pounds

I thought that was the same conversion, isn;t their 14 lb in a stone...

So I would be 14 x 11 + 7 = 161 lb

I think that is right

I am about 5 foot 2, I am sure e will get there. Seems a lot at the moment, but I applied for the police force a while back and you need to be in a heigh/weight ration and for that well I need to be around 9 stone...

Good luck to you both, I did the diet last week and lost 8 pounds...stilll have about 50 to go...I only did the diet for 5 days, starting again today....I figured I would only do it for 5 days and then start new on Monday's to see how that work....I didn't gain any thing back this weekend either which is good....

Hello scottishfriend,

Maritimer eh?  Spent 9 years in Halifax :-)  In Toronto now!  Hope you and your husband enjoy SK.

I am on day 3 today and realize I only have enough soup for tomorrow at lunch and as a snack.  I will have to make a fresh batch tomorrow night for supper and for the remaining days.

I am starting to wonder if I am eating too much soup.  From what I read doesn't seem like it. 
We'll see at the end of this challenge "I see it more as a challenge to myself and a start to a new healthy lifestyle" than a diet - cause I don't beleive in diets.

I decided not to weight myself until waking up after day 7.

I find I have a whole lot more of energy and my skin looks great!

Good luck to you :-)

To both FrenchGarcon and Paula:

You sound like you are both doing very well. I am on the morning of day two and I lost 2 pounds already I am really happy with myself. I am really looking forward to my baked potatoe. I have been eating 3 bowls of soup each day and if I keep that up I will have to make another pot of soup also. I will keep you updated. Keep up the awesome work both of you.

I have a hard time with only vegetables too.  This is only the morning of Day 2 for me and I'm struggling.  But I know I can make it.  I'm looking forward to the baked potato later.  :-)

Oh my gosh - that was so true!  That was the best potato of my life.  Today was just brutal - every second I was on the verge of breaking but it's 8pm and I'm still hanging in there.  My dad was eating steak and my boyfriend was enjoying chocolate chip cookies so it wasn't easy.  Give me strength.

Hello scottishfriend ,

I am on day 7 today and cannot wait for tomorrow morning to weigh myself!! 

I followed the French version and mixed it up a little bit with the English version (the one on this site).  In the French version it requires eating 3 bowls of soup a day.  (noon, afternoon snack and supper)  And from what I understand you need to eat lots and lots of soup.  Another batch (maybe half a recipe) would do the trick and could be a good idea.  My bowls were big bowls and it really stuffed me when I had it.

Glad to hear your doing well!  Hang in there, day 7 comes quicker than you think!.

(I am very tired of the soup)  I could only have a table spoon tonight.
