I have acid reflux and am on medication for underactive thyroid. I have never heard this before. Can you elaborate as to how much APC to water and explain about the virgin coconut oil.

bumping to read later.

I'm always up for anything that taste like cookie dough!

Wow. 134 calories awesome.

I just got my DVD and have just completed day 3. I too have knee issues and have been wondering if I need to take a break from doing it every day. However, my only other exercise is walking 2 miles at lunch time. I commute to work and am away from home 12 hours per day so that doesn't leave much time to work out. Thus the…

A friend of mine swears that there is no nutritional value in sugar and that we should remove as much of it as possible from our diet. Of course, I am talking about refined sugars. Natural sugars found in fruit is totally ok. I have never been able to eliminate sugar totally, but at least I have been able to limit it.

bump...gotta try this.

Sounds yummy. Especially banana, pb & honey. That combo will be first on my list - 3 things I always have on hand.

OMG Not bad at all. You can clearly see your waist is smaller, your butt is tighter and your arms are stronger. Good job!

Don't feel lonely...I too had lost 5-6 pounds initially, then hit a brick wall and gained back 2 pounds. I know I have not been consistent with my exercising. It just takes some motivation and I haven't got that yet. Hoping for spring though - that always helps me be more active.

Of course we had to look. LOL!

I figured I should error on the high side when it comes to calories. So I am hearing that I should count it as 550 calories. Thanks for all of your input. I have just started my journey here in January and have lost 5 pounds, but have another 10-15 to go.

I have had more success eating a normal diet - just watching my sweets. This is a way of life - not a diet.

Life is truly worth living. My late husband was an alcoholic and a heavy smoker. His years of abuse took their toll on him in 2004 when his short 52 years of life ended with cirrhosis of the liver. The last year of his life he was in and out of the hospital and I took to chain smoking - 2 plus packs a day. After his death,…

Bump...like the story...always need a good laugh:laugh:

I agree. Keep at it. In the long run, you will maintain weight better.

Boy, I am with you. I have made homemade cookies to weekends in a row. I love the raw cookie dough. I don't think cheating two days in row will sabotage your diet totally as long as you remain faithful to your diet Monday through Friday. Remember don't beat yourself up!
