Sorry Fedda, i'm not good at remembering everyone so dont often do 'personals' it was a more general post to all really though.

Ive decided, next week, that is the week starting march 3rd. I'll do the cabbage soup diet, to just kick start me. I did it once before, and i lost about 12 lbs in one week. NOT a good thing to do often, but, it did kick me into the right frame of mind, and start weight loss to continue sensible and loose more.

Its a bit of a harsh one to do. Bloody boring, and really hard to do, but you keep telling yourself its only for a week, so you do manage it.

I seem to remember thinking how fantastic bananas were on the banana and skimmed milk day!

I'll try and find a link for you so if anyone wants to join me in it for 1 week. ( only if you still have a lot to loose ) It does work, really really well, you really do loose weight, but, like I say, its really radical, and only should be done for a week, once in about a 2-3 month time frame.

Will be back shortly with a link!

here you go girls, cabbage soup diet

susiecutiemincepies · 23/02/2008 23:31

i really must stress, its a detox one off diet... although my aunt and uncle had about a year of doing it on and off every other month, until they lost the amount of weight they wanted to...

My problem is not keeping it off, when I loose it. So it might be good for me, as i'll deff keep it off even when I go back to eating normal sensible food.

SHit! whats happened to my posts, they are all doubled!

fedda · 23/02/2008 23:52

Too boring for me. I much prefer to have different soups and only have them for lunch and snack attacs. I read somewhere there is no magic in cabbage soup and there are lot's of soups you could have instead which will work and cabbage soup is soooo smelly, I couldn't do it as my DH would hate coming back from work. Anyway, good luck if it works for you

on IL's computer....dh rolling his eyes and saying things like i told you you were addicted...

poor katy....hows the head? what songs did you murder sing last night then?

susie, if it works for you do it......but remember to buy some air freshener or these www.under-tec.com/index.php

fedda, do you realise how negatively you tend to respond to people's ideas....am a bit at your response to susie's cabbage soup plan.....it reads like "well thats a crap idea but good luck".....or is it just me?
