I hope is fine I put you guys on this thread; you both are the best buddies ever so I wanted to count with you on this week,

That's so sweet. Than you so much. I'm honored.

I'm not weighing myself daily at the minute, I'm waiting for my CSD day 8, which will be Wednesday. So today is my Day 6. I was 188lbs last Wednesday morning. I'll do my measurements later and post them here.

Good luck slimming down for your friends' wedding. I'm sure you can do it. You certainly have the motivation, and we're all here to support you.

Right I found you lol! Couldn't miss it really. I'm really sorry but I have to start Tuesday as I HAD to take my son out for his 18th birthday meal and they didn't serve cabbage soup! lol! It was the only time he could fit me in cheek!!! It was meant to be at the weekend but I think his hangover was too bad. So instead of dieting I had to drive 3 hours to London as he lives there and back home 3 hours again most of it in flipping traffic, still it was worth it to see him!!! So I am at day 1 tomorrow again but this time I'm using the cabbage diet pills instead of the soup as I really don't think I could stomach another bowl of it. If I find I am too hungry with the pills I'll make the soup on day 2 I'm gagging just thinking about it!
Ok I got on the scales and this is what they say!!!



No seriously 138lbs exactly and that is this evening. Incidently how do you two get on the scales? Watching me would be a laugh as I precariously step on the scales leaning to one side
I am 5" 4'
You two will finish before me now and I will be so jealous!!!
In case you haven't seen this posting this is a photo of me last summer when I weighed a whopping 161lbs and yes the chair had collapsed with my weight lol! Just thought you needed to see the before. I look a lot better than that now but still want to lose another 7lbs or so but at least I am nearer to my target weight.

P.S I'm honoured too and thanks for including me it is just the support I need!

Hi Sally, Paragon, Luckykel and Odettebonett



I am following the diet "tight", I had a litttle personal problem but I haven't gone off the wagon, I just hope I can keep up with this. It's 6pm and I am still up with the diet, but I felt like getting off track right after lunch, funny huh?

The willpower felt weak, So, I had to work with my mind and started thinking about "How easy it would be to fail again to myself, to another diet, so typical of me... then I would go back to my circle of sorrows and pitty about myself about my overweight", so... at the end... I didn't go off wagon, Victory!!! yeeeeeeeeeeh!


Like somebody said once, "It's all in our minds, If we really want something, we should be able to get it whatever our goal is", I think this person was all right.

Ok Kids, I will see you all tomorrow. Sally, is that you? you are so pretty, I can't wait to see the current pictures and I think you were planning to get some tan also, sweetie It's ok to start the CSD tomorrow; I think also Paragon will start tomorrow and I don't mind to join again 1st day, actually I prefer it jeje

For you Luckykel and Odettebonett or any other dieter, you guys are more than welcome to join us, the idea is to have a real support team cause this diet is a heck of a challenge and we need all the support we can get to overcome this challenge.

I decided to change meat by tuna on meat day, anyway read meat has lots of calories and I don't really like red meat. Please ladies, let's share our menus and  ideas to make the best from our ingredients, to overcome this diet.


You guys are the best support team ever!

Hang in there!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys its day 3. Already had a bowl of bran flakes with some milk.

I got some kiwi, grapes and mandarin to work.

I will be making a stir fry with veg after work and a bowl of soup.

Oh blow I missed her any way she'd gone off line before I posted. Charito let us know how you are I have been really worried about you diet buddy!
Well I've made my soup and am struggling to eat it!!! Roasted veg are cooking as I type I'm starving but at least I've been at work today which takes my mind off eating. I forgot to get more fruit but I have two types of melon to eat at least, the trouble is I seem to have a tummy ache today!



I thought this pic went well with this diet lol!
Still at least I have made it through day one nearly which means only 6 days to go!!!

Is that a photo of you and your dad? what a lovely photo and you are gorgeous looking your husband is very lucky.
I can only say from my own experience that I had one miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy in my 20s when I nearly died and I ended up pregnant aged 32 and that was with only one ovary and a few gyny operations later and yes it was against all odds and despite a difficult pregnancy, several months of bed rest and a lot of that in hospital [I gained 5 stone in weight 70lbs!] I had a healthy son who is now 18!!! I will pray that things work out for the two of you I'm sure they will.
That diet looks great when you starting then? I would love to follow that one with you as to be honest I am sick of the cabbage soup one. We could do it together and chat on here still how about it???

Hi Sally & Paragon

I was wondering, where are guys located?

I live in Chicago, IL (US)

I am feeling much better, I hope to recover from this really soon, I still plan to eat healthy, well, right now I can't be on CSD strictly I mean with no proteins at all, but I will try to do a healthy diet for now, Paragon I liked the diet you put, it seems really yummy. About this Hax Planch, it can work for the week off betweeb CSD, and it's truth because my husband lost 20 Pounds in 2 weeks but he said it was tough, eventhough it doesn't look as tough as CSD right?
SALLY I understand that you feel bored about this diet, as I said before we need to work with our mind to overcome succesfully this diet  but I know it's totally effective.

Girls I hope you can share a little with me, for example where are you located?

Sally, did you go over the whole day respecting your diet?

Paragon what was your weightloss for these past week? I hope a lot

Keep on track Girls, we can reach our goals.


Charito.

I'm also in the UK, near Manchester.

I lost 7lbs! I'm so pleased, I was aiming for 4. I just had a bowl of cereal and it felt like an indulgence after 7 days of strict CSD.

I've been doing a workout DVD too, I'm going to do that three times a week from now on. Do any of you do workout DVDs, or do you go to a gym, or what other exercise do you take?

Parogon love the picture my favourite programme!
Regarding exercise I am a PE teacher so work out with the kids when working but that is gentle as they are young. I walk and swim when I can as well. I never got into those DVD exercise things they are not really me! I don't go to the gym at the moment so expensive here but I'm lucky as the new house, which is a business as well, I'm moving to, has a pool and gym set up [one of the reasons for moving so much more for your money in Wales!] so I intend swimming and working out properly each day then.
Wow you have done so well 7lbs even my first week on this I only lost 6lbs well done
Malta, lovely, sun and seal sounds glorious. I would love to go there as I haven't been there. I gather it is good for scuba diving so my youngest son wants to go there as he is getting diving qualifications. He's been doing them in Spain so far as we go there all the time in fact we nearly moved there!
I'm just starting day 2 and looking forward to the baked potato and it is only 8 in the morning! I've got to go out and get more veg today as I ate all I had yesterday, before I pig out on something I shouldn't.

Yes Malta is lovely in summer expecially for scuba diving.

Its very similar to Spain in fact , even the people.

I loved Portsmith. Wales is nice as well... i think you're gonna love it there. I am going to Scotland in 2 weeks time with my husband for a holiday

soon off for your potato dear... and me soon off for my banana ice cream lol

Hey Girls
Sally
Paragon
Odettebonett
Luckykel

I am glad you guys are following your respective days and meal plans..let's see...

Sally:


Odettebonett and Luckykel:


Paragon: on her week off but still eating healthy


Charito, that would be me!... doing a non CSD, because obvious reasons, right now I can't be without proteins. I am feeling better and I think I am going to my friend's meeting on saturday so I need a short diet, in my stuff I found this 3 Day Diet, take a look...



It seems that we are all really into this. Luckykel, please let us know how much do you lose if you add some protein to the CSD, that could be a pilot experiment, I love this things.

Hey, I also live in Chicago but just for 4 years, I was born in a nice place called Peru,

My loving land, where I became a physician in 2002 but then God had other plans for me and now I am here trying to get my medical license, with God's help hopefully at the end of this year I can have my MD, that is my huge goal, well beside recovering my figure which I lost since I came to US. It was overwhelming to meet all these fast food jeje

Ok Girls, keep up the good work, we will see results only if we work hard enough to deserve it!


Have a great and Slim day girls!!!

Charito.
