You will never get out of that loop.
First time in,
<cfif NOT IsDefined("Session.LoggedIn")>
<CFSET Session.LoggedIn=False>
</cfif>
this isnt defined, so you show login page then you submit to page to autheticate, but
the application.cfm is run before that page as well.
What you could do is include your authentication in the app.cfm
Check there if good they are in if not send back.

Subject: login application help requested
I have a home page in which there are links both for public and private
pages. I want users with a password to be able to click on a private page
link, login, then be forwarded directly to that page. It is easy enough to
send them to a specific page, but I can't seem to "forward" them. This code
takes the user back to the login form.
The code I'm using is very simple and basic (which is probably the problem).
I've included it below. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I've wasted
two days of my life working on this.
Application.cfm:
<cfapplication name="login" clientmanagement="YES" sessionmanagement="YES"
setclientcookies="Yes">
<!--- test for existence of session.logged in --->
<cfif NOT IsDefined("Session.LoggedIn")>
<CFSET Session.LoggedIn=False>
</cfif>
<!--- if logged.in is false, send user to form --->
<CFIF Session.LoggedIn EQ FALSE>
<cfif NOT (CGI.Path_Info EQ "/formpage.cfm") OR NOT (CGI.Path_Info is
"/actionpage.cfm")>
<!--- send formpage.cfm the path user was trying to get to --->
<CFLOCATION
url="http://localhost/isri/login/formpage.cfm?dest=#cgi.path_info#"
addtoken="No">
</cfif>
</cfif>
<!--- if user has already logged in, let them into page --->
<cfif Session.LoggedIn EQ True>
<CFLOCATION url="#CGI.Path_info#" addtoken="No">
</cfif>
Formpage.cfm:
<!--- login form with generic username already submitted via hidden
field --->
<form action="actionpage.cfm" method="post">
<cfif ISDEFINED ("URL.dest") EQ TRUE>
<cfoutput><input type="Hidden" value="#URL.dest#"
name="dest"></cfoutput></cfif>
<input type="hidden" name="name" size="30" maxlength="30" value="u"><font
face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Password:
</b></font>
<input type="password" name="password" size="30" maxlength="30"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Log In"> <input type="Reset">
</form>
Actionpage.cfm:
<cfquery datasource="isri" name="auth">
SELECT username, pwd
FROM login
WHERE username = '#Form.name#' AND pwd = '#form.password#'
</cfquery>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Log In</title>
</head>
<body>
<!--- if the query produces a record send user to page they had clicked
on --->
<cfif auth.RecordCount IS 1>
<CFSET Session.LoggedIn = True>
<CFLocation url="#dest#" addtoken="No">
<!--- if login is not acceptable --->
<cfelse>
<script language="javascript">
alert("We're sorry, but we were unable to verify either your Name or
Password. Please try again.")
self.location = 'formpage.cfm'
</script>
</cfif>
</body>
</html>
