Well being young and not very original I thought she looked like and oreo and thought Cookie was more original than oreo... the Louise is my favorite great aunts name. If you knew Aunt Louise she was fiesty and had an infectious laugh... my mom was going to give her namesake to me as a middle name then decided against it…

Did not like it in the coffee... too greasy!

I have a 12 yo Boston named Cookie Louise whom my husband and I love like a child. I found her when I was a sophomore in HS and it was love at first sight. Later that evening we found her "owners" putting signs up and we told them we thought we had their dog. Well they said she was just too much trouble and that we could…

Everyone I've told about the PB thinks it's just crazy but thats CW for ya I guess. Once you read PB it all becomes so clear... why would we intentionally poison ourselves? Don't get me wrong my body is still craving sugar and sweet food but if it's causing so much discomfot i.e. migraines, ect... it's really not worth the…

Yes I second the BACON!!!!

Well it's just day one for me but... I LOVED having ALL of my sirloin and asparagus WITH organic butter... Yumm Also, the 3 PM fatigue wasn't there!

I bought some coconut oil and read that it can be used as a sub for cream or 1/2 & 1/2... gonna try it tomorrow in my coffee and will update. My hubs thinks I'm crazy for cutting the grains but what people don't understand is that if you don't feel restricted you aren't!

I'm on week four day 3 and I always eat after... I run in the AM and PM so either way I don't want all of that food bouncing around my belly! Good luck and sick to it!

I think that's exactly it... it only works for others if you are on the "same" page. You have to look inside for motivation and support b/c in the end YOU are really the only one who can give it to yourself! Keep pressing forward... :drinker:

Keep up the good work, I don't think trying a new work out constitutes "going overboard"! My husband the other day told me I wasn't going to meet my goal so I should just be happy where I am... so I know how you feel. I honstly think he just was upset I wouldn't go pig out on junk with him. Does she have any alterior (sp?)…

Too funny, I know a least one of each of those people at the gym I go to...

Thaks everyone, this was really encouraging... I think I will start with a video! :happy:

I have been interested in these for awhile... wonder what advise others will have

I have had this same propblem too, my DH had the nerve to say that I needed to get over it and that it would always be there. I am interested to hear any advise!

Last night I made Apricot- dijon glazed pork loin with garlic and rosmary along with roasted white potatos (2) cubed with the loin and fresh green beans steamed in chicken stock and white wine with garlic and onions fed 3 with some leftovers to boot! I have added the loin to to the food index if anyone decides to make…

made it through today without a ciggy. Was hard when I was making dinner and DH was outside having one. I just had to walk away and go watch a little TV as my pork loin baked... yay, one day of success!

I'm 5'6 and my goal weight is 125, I have been 123 and very toned but that weight was just not maintainable for me.

I'm in ... tried to give it up last week and failed again, my husband smokes so I feel your pain. Lets lead by example!!

Fiber One Carmel Delight cereal...it's like good for you CTC!

The Good: I get to "wow" the ladies at bible study tonight with my homemade lasagna (even the pasta is from scratch) and amazing Lamb's Rest Inn Cookies! The Bad: I tasted a little too much of the cookie dough and had a couple too many piping hot cookies last night. The Ugly: I also went overboard on my consumption of the…

Bump!

Look for a Body Pump class near you... It is an endurance weight lifting class. You might gain muscle weight but you will tone up for sure! My arms and back looked amazing when I was faithful to the class. Good Luck!

Last week I was having this problem and someone suggested I look at my iron levels. Turns out I was only getting about 25% of my daily in...CRAZY! I have been taking a multivitimin for that and trying to eat more iron rich foods and it has helped a lot!! Good luck!

Thanks KatWood awesome encouragement! I just started the couch to 5K program and that is part of my motivation, you CAN NOT run and smoke!!!

Thanks for the support guys... I'm like you simplegirl I only seem do want or crave one when my hubs is outside having one. It's so strange, it's like I'm tring to bond with him over them. I really hope I can set a good example since he is only 31 and has been smoking for 16 years... I want him here with me for a long time…

Try, Bud Select 55 they are only 55 calories... just remember that while they are drinking and expanding their waistlines the goal that you have in mind. I know it might sound lame but being your friends DD while you are on this journey is a very noble thing to do. You will learn that you can have just as much fun without…

I fell off this weekend too... dang you grilled jalapenos w/bacon and buttered corn and cake! I was good all week and just need to get it off my mind and start over! Keep fighting the good fight...

Wow, praise be to God... It's amazing how He uses us as we are, broken, dirty , ugly on the inside and can turn us into something so beautiful...His child! Thank you so much for sharing...may the Lord continue to rain His belssings down upon you!

Thanks all! Cuppy_Cake, no I just had some in my drawer here at the office and decided it couldn't hurt... my hubs said the same thing at lunch, that I just need more vitamins in my life... I never really take any. Thanks for the suggestions!

I am so tired...all the time for the past two weeks. I am eating right going to the gym and running. I get the right ammount of sleep but everyday the same tired feeling and I'm sick of it. Any suggestions? I just took a B50 vitamin so hopefully I will be awake enough to jog tonight...
