Desserts that helped me lose 70 pounds!

I started Weight Watchers in October 2006, and successfully avoided desserts until May 2007 ... but then I wanted to start having them again, but without jeopardizing my weight loss. All these desserts were either nonfat or low-fat, and had WW points values of 1-3 points per serving. I had at least a dessert a day from May 2007 to the present; by October 2007 I've lost 70 pounds and am a WW lifetime member. You can have your cake and eat it too! I tweaked all recipes for baked goods by substituting applesauce or Greek nonfat plain yogurt for butter or margarine. I tweaked frozen dessert recipes by substituting fat-free yogurt (or milk) for low-fat or full-fat dairy products. Specific recommendations for lowering fat/calories appears in my reviews of individual recipes.

When I attended my first weight watchers meeting and the leader shared this recipe, my first thought was "right!". There was no way I was going to believe this was good, AND low in points. Eventually I had to try it though. Now my DH... MORE»
