But i just got my time of the month today so within a few days i should lose the water. god i hope so. i refuse to believe that those 5 pounds i gained are all fat. anyways i hope everyones doing great! good luck

Reply from Amanda, Age 20 - 03/26/09 - IP#: 63.135.14.xxx that sounds awesome i'm gonna have to try it :) the fact that its low carb is a bonus because i'm trying to watch my carbs as well lol :)
Reply from DancingDamsel, Age 13 - 03/26/09 - IP#: 65.10.135.xxx THANKS for the tip! I am a major pasta-holic (not to mention choco-holic, if you have any tips on that) and this sounds really awesome! I'll give it a try! Also, I'll share something with you. See, I am a cookie-lover. But, guess what?! I found a peanut butter cookie recipe that is DIVINE (no after-taste, awesome, sturdy form, and chewy-ish on the inside!). Here it is: 1 cup of peanut butter 1 cup of sugar (regular or half Splenda, half reg. I do all reg.) 1 tsp. baking powder 1 egg (Oh, add a splash of vanilla extract, if you want.) The best thing? It only has 1g of carb!!! Once you're done mixing, just take a teaspoon and drop them on a pan and bake at 350F for 10 minutes. :)
