I'm here Cathy. Last week was really tough for me, as you may or may not have ready in an alternate thread. I've finally lost the weight that my tough week packed on. So I'm no longer afraid to show my face here, silly but I was ashamed. I love the cookie diet and won't give up. I bought the cutest leather jacket this weekend. It's currently too small for me but I'm determined to look smokin' hot in it!
Faith2lose, I'm too am sorry about your father. I went through the same thing with my grandfather (who's more of a father to me than my own) a few years back. Make sure he keeps up with his therapy, my grandfather was too stubborn and let it slip and it shows in his comingling common vocabulary words.
Sluggo44,

I wish you the best of luck with your own cookie concoction. The really nice thing about the ones we are consuming is that they are high in protein (yes beef protein). This makes them more filling than just the regular cookies.
**SHAKE REVIEW** as you may know I got my free box of shake mix. The package says to blend w/ 6oz of ice and water (more ice than water). I don't measure; after all it's just water! I have not tried the shakes naked yet. I say naked because when I mix mine I add a couple of fresh strawberries and half a banana. They are really good, smooth and surprisingly filling. I would recommend the shakes if you're looking to have more variety to your diet!
