HEY LIN!
Welcome to the boards. Like you, I read all the books that were out there on diets when I knew I was ready to finally get serious, and I chose the SB WOE over the others for many reasons, and I'm happy I did. It's something you can do indefinitely.
As for the cookies. At our last SB GET TOGETHER last March, we were sent quite a few samples of the cookies. The consensus was - they were disgusting! I personally didn't like them at all, and plus, they are REALLY expensive, not to mention, the ingredients, yuck. You can easily find something else much better to eat! I don't recommend them at all.
Please join us on our SB WEEKLY SUPPORT BOARD, that's where we tend to congregate. Just make sure you use the QUICK REPLY box at the bottom of the page or hit POST REPLY, don't hit NEW THREAD.
BTW, we have a slew of Floridians on the board. In fact, there's a group of us meeting this weekend in Orlando. Where are you from in the Sunshine State??
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

GOOD LUCK!
