Starting my "diet" today

Good Morning All,

I'm new to the board and looking forward to meeting many of you.

I'm 36, married to a great man for 5 years, have a wonderful 2 1/2 year old son and a 8 month old foster baby boy. We live in Florida.

I've tried WW many times and can never stick to it because it leaves me too many options to eat. I'm a big soda drinker and I know that needs to stop. I've cut back on snacking and nomore ice cream. A friend of mine told me about the COOKIE DIET. It's a physician supervised plan where you eat these 6 special cookies throughout the day, drink 64 oz of water and have a sensible dinner of 6 oz of chicken, fish or seafood but no beef or pork. Along with that you eat 2 cups each of vegetables. You eat no rice or potatoes. The cookies are in different flavors: chocolate, blueberry, bananna, cinnamon raisin. You go weekly for weigh in. I went and signed up last night and had my first cookie this morning and already in 1/2 hour drank 1 PT of water! It's said that you lose 12-15 pounds per month! I sure hope so!

I hope all of you are having a good week.

Hi Staci,

The cookies (have had 2 so far) taste pretty good, I'm doing the blueberry ones right now. They're a bit dry but that is why they tell you to drink 8 oz of water after each cookie. I plan on doing this diet until I reach "my" goal weight, which should be in about 8-10 months.

Thank you all for your good wishes as I start my diet today.

I'm struggling and it's only my 1st day...I've had about 24 oz of water and 4 of the cookies so far and I'm STARVING!!! I know they told me last night that it takes awhile for my body to adjust but UGH. I can't wait to eat dinner tonight! I need to lose this weight so I will stick with it!

Thanks again.

Iris

Hi Iris,

Good luck to you... and it really DOES get easier after the first few days, so hang in there. I hope that you see a nice loss to help keep you on track (bet you will)!
