Yeeeesss!!! You don't have to give up what you love; you need to learn to eat it in moderation! That is the recipe for success & a life long dietary change. Love the post & I'll share a little secret with you. The best cookie cookbook EVER!!!

You have to try out the Hickory Nut & Buttercream Sandwiches--I use pecans, instead of hickory nuts, but the cookie is absolutely AMAZING! I make them every year for Christmas & also for really special occasions. My nursing staff BEGS me to bring them in!!! They are the most wonderful shortbread with chocolate and BUTTERcream icing sandwiched in between shortbread lusciousness. And by buttercream, I mean BUTTER-cream!
The Butterscotch Shortbread Bars are amazing & the Stroopwafels are the bomb! I could go on, but you need to see the cookbook to believe all the amazing recipes! It has everything, BUT my English grandmother's Keeflie recipe and the recipe for my Dutch great grandmother's killer Sugar Cookies! Those are a family MUST HAVE!!!!0 -

I rarely post to these, but girl, I just gotta say:
Awesome! :flowerforyou:
I began my long (tl;dr) journey in January 2007 (ooh, a "resolutioner"!) Seven looong years later, I am 44 lbs down from that high (low) point, after two pregnancies, multiple job changes, and just life in general. Love to see others who take the long view, too.0 -

Yeeeesss!!! You don't have to give up what you love; you need to learn to eat it in moderation! That is the recipe for success & a life long dietary change. Love the post & I'll share a little secret with you. The best cookie cookbook EVER!!!
http://www.amazon.com/Cookies-Christmas-Jennifer-Darling/dp/0696209632/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391527293&sr=1-1&keywords=cookies+for+christmas
You have to try out the Hickory Nut & Buttercream Sandwiches--I use pecans, instead of hickory nuts, but the cookie is absolutely AMAZING! I make them every year for Christmas & also for really special occasions. My nursing staff BEGS me to bring them in!!! They are the most wonderful shortbread with chocolate and BUTTERcream icing sandwiched in between shortbread lusciousness. And by buttercream, I mean BUTTER-cream!
The Butterscotch Shortbread Bars are amazing & the Stroopwafels are the bomb! I could go on, but you need to see the cookbook to believe all the amazing recipes! It has everything, BUT my English grandmother's Keeflie recipe and the recipe for my Dutch great grandmother's killer Sugar Cookies! Those are a family MUST HAVE!!!!
Pretty sure this is the sabotage I always see people talking about around here (she days having already gone and ordered the book.)

I LOVE this one! I agree with not depriving yourself. slow and steady wins the race. my weight loss started out rather fast (wasn't eating enough while breastfeed. thankfully it didn't hurt my supply) and slowed down greatly when I realized I would rather have more treats and work our more than be hungry at bedtime. but I hit my goal (29 lbs in 7 months) last month and am happily eating more:happy: but staying within a range. life it to be enjoyed. plus, no one likes the skinny starving crabby girl, right?0

Loooooove it. The cookies, that it :laugh:
And you look awesome.0 -
Fantastic! I love it that you did it your way, the way that worked for you!
You look great! :flowerforyou:0 -
Just about anything tastes better than skinny feels. Skinny feels horrible. Or am I thinking of hungry? Hungry feels horrible.
Good job OP you look amazing :-)0 -

No, just sharing an exceptionally good cookbook with a fellow baker. I love your posts, because they a SENSIBLE and realistic. Enjoy the book, I've bought one for most of my family members over the years. Just save the goodies for special occasions, or freeze them enjoy them a few at a time.0 -
I agree wholeheartedly. I'll have a cupcake or whatever when I feel like it. I feel much happier when I do0

Best success story title ever.
You look awesome :drinker:
all that & more0 -

Cookies are yummy And good in moderation! I love cookies ( and brownies and muffins! ) I had some shortbread cookies today
And you look great Losing on 1900 calories is awesome. I could probably lose on that as well, but it would be a very slow weight loss. Maybe only a couple lbs a month. If you eat healthy, you can pretty much eat what you want on 1900 calories.
And the way you are losing weight is really the way to keep the pounds off in the long run. Good job!0 -
