The Girl Scout Cookies I ordered just came in...Caramel deLights..70 calories a cookie. It's so hard having just one when I could easily eat the whole box since I wait basically all year for them...haha.

I ran a half marathon yesterday and after the race there were Girl Scouts EVERYWHERE selling their delicious cookies to all us famished runners. Those little girls are pret-ty smart business women haha
I could do some serious damage to a box of Caramel de Lights! Those are my fav!0 -
Make little ziploc baggies of 1 or 2 cookies so you can have a little snack pack once a day or so.0

Well the problem is I'm currently unemployed (grrr bad economy), so i'm stuck at home all day with them sitting in the kitchen, haah.0 -
I've heard you can freeze the cookies, so at least it will take you longer to eat them, should you break into the freezer!

oh i forgot that i ordered them. Good thing i'm packing a military box so i can ship them out. wheewww0

Try having 2 girls in girl scouts and approximately 250 cookies in your house at one time. Luckily, most of them are gone now but I did order some to keep as well and let's just say these damn cookies are going to be the death of me. This is exactly why I don't buy sweets or chips. If I just keep healthy food in my house, I don't have a choice when I'm hungry BUT to eat the healthy food.0

GGRrrr my downfall1! lol.. and then I found out how good the trefoil ones with nutella!!! :ohwell:
I've hidden them so I don't see them as much, these ones will last longer than a week. lol
I was talking to a friend and we wonder why they don't sell them at the end of the year when less people are on diets and people have more money, before Christmas buys! New year brings resolutions to lose weight and save money!! Oh well. hehe0 -
Ooooo Thin Mints... I love them so. There is a shake place close to my apt that uses Herbalife products. The guy said they have a limited edition Mint protein powder. He made me an oreo shake and put in a scoop of that powder.... exactly like thin mint cookies. I nearly died then and there! Don't know about the other GS cookies..... they make 2 other GS like shakes, Samoas and Tagalongs. I personally don't buy them in any more :sad: but my mom still gets the Thin Mints and freezes them. It's so hard to only eat ONE serving!0

Yeah, I've seen Edy's ice cream in the grocery store has Thin Mint and Caramel deLight (Samoas) limited edition ice cream, I haven't yet tried it though.0 -
This is why I don't buy them (former GS!) - I love thin mints too much. They're really made from crack...lol0
-
I love carmel de lights. I had some last week man I had no control at all!0
-
My favorite is the samoas.0
-
two words...
Frozen Samoas0 -
Yep...my hubby ordered 7 boxes...wtf? UGH!!!!!!! Im going to kill him!

Can not have em in the house. I order them from my niece, and then make HER parents keep em! Samoas and Thin Mints frozen delights.0
-
Mine ordered 9 AND told me to get my own!0

Before joining MFP i bought 3 boxes of girl scout cookies. I am dreading the day they deliver the boxes to me. I might just bring them in the lounge and let the other people enjoy them so i can stay on track .0

This is our second year with Girl Scouts, so we've had them in the house for weeks now. Honestly the selling and cookie booths and all that fun stuff has completely turned me off to the cookies themselves, at least until last saturday when i had to do a quality check on the shortbreads. if i get into the lemonades i'm doomed. just doomed.
hubby, on the other hand, was a ravenous beast last night. he likes them all. he's welcome to them.0 -
I got some today too sadly! caramel delights/samoas and thin mints!! Kind of wish I could give them back! love the caramel delights!

I ordered 5 boxes, now I am trying to figure to find a way to share the love with other people so I don't eat all 5 boxes.0
-
I purposely stayed away from the GS order form this year. I know me, I HAVE NO CONTROL!!!!!0
-
UGH. That's all I can say. My fiance ordered them from his work, and this weekend he and I were talking about how we need to get back on track. What does he forget he bought, and come home with??? THIN MINTS!!!! Ugh. I have had one tagalong, but those thin mints are going to be teasing me... I need to portion them out so I don't gorge.
Glad I'm not the only one plagued by them!!!0 -
i ordered the shortbread and lemonades one... i gave away the whole box of lemonades to my patients. i ate 4 shortbreads and gave the remainder away to my patients also. lol0

take them to your next door neighbot and ask them to hold them for you! ha ha- mine woudl be gone before I left thier front porch!
How about freezing them? If it takes a while to thaw one each time, maybe you will savor them??? Who knows!0 -
My daughter is selling them.... i have 300 boxes in my house right now!0
-
I very much agree with the idea of freezing them, I used to do it to all my GS cookies before even taking up fitness. This works with lots of other snacks too, even little things like Skittles will last longer frozen.

I got my two boxes of Do-si-dos delivered over the weekend. I put one box in the freezer and have 2-3 every day after lunch. That way I don't deprive myself, but I also don't binge. I do miss having a huge glass of milk with them, though. LOL0

I ordered them before I started my weight loss journey. When they came in I was shocked at the calories in them. I bought thin mints, caramel delights, and peanut butter patties. I did not eat one of them don't ask me how but I made it. I brought them to a party and let my friends eat them.0

My favorite is the samoas.
you can tell what generation we are all from by what we call these- 30+ call them samoas, the younger ones call them carmel delights! whatever you call them, they are just fabulously yummy!!!!0 -
Those are my favorites! Luckily, Kelloggs makes a bar that tastes just like them and is much much better for you. They are called caramel coconut fudge and they have 130 calories with 9 grams of fiber! I love love them.
But for now, stick the cookies in the freezer and be strong enough to only have two at a time which I believe what a serving is for those cookeis.
Here's a link to the Kellogg's bars:
