It’s August 9th and the sampler has begin distributing their packages for this month. I was quite surprised (yet ridiculously happy) to receive an email from them today. It read:

Aside from that, today finally marked the day I saw 200 lbs on the scale. I’ve lost 33 lbs so far though I have another 50 lbs to go before reaching my goal. I’ve only seen 200 once in the last 5 years so I feel it’s something worth celebrating. I’m excited and motivated at the thought of losing more and can’t wait till the numbers no longer begin with 2.
Right now I owe my continued weight loss to The Cookie Diet. It’s unfortunately not quite as tasty as it sounds, though not quite as torturous as one may think. For months now I’ve been eating 6 specially formulated fiber cookies a day with 1 real meal for dinner. Dinner normally consists of turkey or chicken with 2 servings of vegetables. Fruits, Bread, Pasta, Beef, Pork and certain vegetables are off limits. If you’ve had trouble losing weight over the years, and you feel you’ve tried everything, The Cookie Diet is definitely worth looking in to.
Lastly, (I swear AOL news is only around to make me laugh) I must comment about the parents who tried to name their baby “4Real”. Apparently their request for a name was denied; Numerals are not accepted in names. In protest they have instead named their son Superman though they say they will still call him 4Real. WTF? lol You can read the full article here.
For those who are reading this and have not yet commented, now is your chance. I’d like to hear what other people have to say about this.
