Yes, it helped me. He said it would "oil things up". I suppose it must have, as while I was taking it first thing every morning, things went great.

It is also supposed to crank up your metabolism! While I could tolerate it, I was losing left and right! Good luck!

Magnesium supplements are great for the constipation issue. The Eades of Protein Power write that the American diet is too low in magnesium. This is also what is in Milk of Magnesia. If you are taking calcium supplements these are very constipating.

Yup-you hide those Russell Stovers yet! I think I'm gonna have some Early Times & diet Cokes tonight or maybe a Fuze martini. I'm one of those oddballs who loses after she drinks. Hmmm-I thinks I need to drink more often.

Oh yeah, Milk of Magnesium makes me go! I take the pills, as the liquid makes me gag.

Yes, it is 1 Tablespoon EVOO with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, just as soon as you get out of bed and in the kitchen. Eat within on half hour. You'll see changes in the bathroom right away.

Lil, it might be one of those mind over matter things. It worked for me, I just could not keep psyching myself to make the swallow. Those with a strong constitution can do it. My dad did it a long time. It even helped with is blood surgar.

Har! I just thought in the name of a quick trip, you'd be game. According to the good ole doctor it burns fast into energy.

I came fome from work to find you all talking about poo? May have to get me some EVOO!

I had a much better day at work. I signed up for the biggest loser challenge first thing this morning so I'm good to go! Get this. I weighed in this morning at 293. I go to work, ate a couple muffins, drank a diet Pepsi and some water and weighed in for the challeng at 307. With the food and drink, my clothes and my steel toe boots, I weighed in 14 pound heavier then I did this morning. I'll take my scale over theirs.

Chic....Cool cupcakes. They look good but they don't sound good. Two months ago they would of sounded great! I really like your tile countertops! I love the way tile looks and would like to tile our bathroom someday in some crazy pattern.

lisabinil...I have the whoosh fairy in a cage and I'm not letting her go!

Trish...Hope you get to feeling better real soon!

I gotta go change my stats! Here's to a cheet free weekend and an awesome weigh-in on Monday!!!!!

Phil- I am not sure I could do without cream cheese, I love it so much!! However, if it is the culprit, then it will all be worth it in the end!

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO INCORPORATE THE COCONUT OIL? I BOUGHT SOME BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING SO MUCH STUFF ABOUT IT, NO THAT I HAVE IT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, BESIDES FRY UP SOME CHICKEN OR EGGS, BUT I USUALLY USE MY FORMAN GRILL FOR ALL MY MEATS AND POACH MY EGGS IN THE MICRO, SO IT SEEMS I SPENT 20.00 FOR NOTHING

I SHOULD HAVE MY PILLS MY MONDAY AND THIS WILL BE MY FIRST TIME USING THEM AND ALSO JUST STARTED ATKINS 72 INDUCT.

THANKS FOR THE HELP

Trisha...hope your day will be better tomorrow.

Phil....they really don't sound good do they? I agree. I figured I could safely post them as more of a crafty item than a seductive item. You like tile??? I hate mine! I would much rather have granite counter tops. Perhaps after we get our tax $ back we can remodel.

I have coconut oil but all I've ever used it for was on my son's eczema and my hair treatments.
