I really want the recipe for the Taco bake and the Mock French Toast. Where are ya'll getting the recipes for these...I guess the SBD cookbook which I don't have and cannot afford. I have 2 eggs or eggbeaters EVERY morning and I am getting sad everytime I wake-up and know I have to eat them.

Thanks Schatzi for the input! I will try to lay off the diet coke.

CONGRATULATIONS Kelly-You are basically there!

Missuha, go over to the Recipe section of the forum... the Tako bake, mock toast, etc are all there...

Thank you for the response, Kelly! You are very inspiring to me! I'm not sure I can still refer to my weight as "baby" weight since my youngest is 2 1/2!

I am having trouble this afternoon. Suddenly the cravings have hit and hit HARD! I was fine until all of a sudden! I was terribly close to a chocolate binge and had I not thrown out the brownies yesterday, don't know what I might have done! Instead, I had some CoolWhip Free with a little regular peanut butter and a tsp of mini choc. chips. Not SB, but not nearly what I would've eaten if I'd given in to my desires! This is the same feeling I get every time I try to do any diet. And this is the point where I throw in the towel and just EAT!! Help! I really want to stick with this this time! I think I'm going to go rest for a little bit while DD naps, hopefully the feeling will pass...
I'll take any help anyone can offer. Does anyone else experience this? I always do fine for a short time, then suddenly feel ravenous for something I shouldn't have, then the little voices in my head start with "Oh, just eat! Everyone else is eating xyz! You can't do it anyways. You can always start again next week.", etc, etc.!! I usually give in to the voices, which is why I've only lost 6 pounds in 6 months!
So...am I crazy?

try some of the chocolate recipes for phase 1 I know I have only beem on this for 4 days but together we can do it!!!

I agree with Cheryl to try some of the dessert recipes. They almost feel like cheating. The breakfast cheesecake (in the breakfast area) is divine - it's kept me on the wagon many times!
Also, when I am really, really, really craving something I try to remember why I'm doing this. I want to be healthy, I want to fit into my clothes, and I want to feel good about myself. We *DESERVE* to love ourselves and treat our bodies well. That feeling is so much better than whatever we're craving.
Sorry if I sound all gushy, I have a hard time thinking this way sometimes but you caught me on a good day Good luck! You can do this, this time!

And a little never hurt either!

Hello everyone...I am on day two now. Day one was great and I am doing Richard Simmons exercise. It isn't so bad. I am drinking lots of water and trying my best. I wish everyone a great day

Hey Everyone!

It's Day 3 of Week 2 for me and I am feeling a little hungry today. I made my boyfriend homeade pecan pralines and I wanted one (or 2 or 3) so bad!! Thank God he ate them all. I tried the mock French Toast this morning, it was a nice change.

Also, is anyone feeling super sluggish while on Phase 1? It is so hard for me to workout because I feel like I could pass out and go to sleep at any moment! Maybe it's the 200 degree weather we are having here in good ol' Texas....

I hope everone is having a great day!

Wherecha all go today??? Hopefully everyone is getting ready for the loooong holiday weekend and have fun stuff planned!

Hey Ya'll!

Day 4 of Week 2 today. I've jogged everyday this week for 30 minutes and done strength training every other day. I hope it pays off cuz I sure am tired. I was thinking about doing Phase 1 one more week to get a little more of this water weight off. The book says it's ok, I hope so.

I tried the black bean brownies last night. Has anyone else? I almost tossed my cookies. I think I will just stick with the rocatta cheese desserts and sugar free jell-o

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm a teacher, so lucky am I that every weekend is a long weekend until August!

Hello Ladies,
Can I hop on board? I started P1 on Monday. That makes today day 5. Its getting tough, but not impossible. I just realized that next week we are on vacay. I'm a little nervous, but I feel like its not quite impossible as long as I pack some snacks ahead of time. Anyone with any great ideas?

Rkrs... Great job getting Richard done. I love him. My hubby calls him my boyfriend. It upsets my little ones. Just too funny.

Missuha...there were some great suggestions early on in this thread for feeling 'wiped out' in phase one. Maybe one of them will help you. Good luck.

Have a super weekend gals!!!!!
