[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  First off, good luck to you.  I hope you are able to stick with the diet.  You sound motivated and positive, so maybe bookmark this page for the inevitable day when you feel neither.

I'm also trying to lose weight though closer to 30 lbs.  I have lost about 10 lbs in about 6 weeks.  I highly recommend using an app to log in your food.  I use loseit.com, but myfitnesspal is great too.

I will echo a few previous posters that your diet seems very limiting.  You know yourself better than us, but I wonder if you are going to last on this diet about 2 weeks and then get fed up with your soup/veggies diet and give up (right around the holidays).  I am like you in that I need a plan of action, but I think you may be better served by sticking to a calorie tracker and eating what you like (as long as it is within your calorie limits) than sticking to a particular diet.

Also, as a working mother of 3 young kids, I totally get you re: exercise.  But listen - that is an excuse (one that I have used for way too long).  I splurged and hired a personal trainer who now comes to my house 3 (early) mornings/week.  Diet is still the most important part of losing weight, but trust me - you need to find the time to exercise if you want long term results.

Gool luck to you.[/quote]
