40 lbs Lost!
Update Pictures:
Day 1 - 216.6 lbs.
8 Months and 40 lbs. Later
176.5 lbs
To Celebrate my 40 Pound Loss I thought I should have a giveaway!
Two weeks ago I got a really great cookbook. It is called Hungry Girl 200 under 200. It is a cookbook with 200 recipes under 200 calories. I love it! It is my new favorite cookbook.
I figured what better way to celebrate my 40 pound loss then to give one of these cookbooks to one lucky reader.
Here's how to get in on the fun:
1. Leave a comment below telling me your favorite Cookbook.
2. Earn a second entry by being or becoming a follower/subscriber and leaving that in the comment section below.
3. Earn another entry by grabbing my button.
3. And another entry by making a post on your own blog telling everyone about this contest and linking it to this page. Then paste your link in the comment section below.
I will be drawing the winner randomly on Monday, September 14, 2009. I will contact the winner by email.

You look amazing! Congratulations on the weight loss.
Favorite cookbook? An out of print cookbook called Superfoods by Jyl Steinbeck. It's great!
Oh the first entry must be a lucky one!!! I love Giada's Family Dinners! Congratulations on your weight loss!
You look like a new woman! I'm so happy for you, Jessica!
Great giveaway - but don't enter me, because I won this cookbook from MizFit a few months ago. Love Hungry Girl - she has so many yummy ideas!
I've enjoyed following your blog! Congrats on losing 40 pounds. Now you've inspired me to get moving and lose some weight! The cookbook looks great. I wanted to share a new find...have you tried the Yoplait Fiber One yogurts? They are VERY filling at 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber and the key lime pie is like having a real mccoy...they are a bit pricey. Although last week my grocery store had them on sale for buy one get one free...they are a must try for you! Keep up the good work! I'm right there cheering you on...
You are doing fabulous & you look beautiful!! Keep it up!!!
My fave cookbook, hmmm... honestly, I don't have one. *blush* Is that bad? LOL!! I'll find recipes from here and there, and just "healthy them up" to my own liking.
Hi there!! My favorite cookbook is the one that I make from prints from blogs like yours!
Thanks

You look fab! I like the South Beach Diet quick and easy cookbook.
You are added to my google reader!
My favorite cookbook is the clean eating cookbook!
My favorite cookbooks are the Americas Test Kitchen cookbooks.
I am a RSS subscriber.
You look so great Jessica!!
My favorite cookbook is one called For the bride and groom
I subscribe to your feeds
Well, I tend to rely more on recipe sites than cookbooks these days. My favorite book is actually a Betty Crocker one, not the traditional one, but a fast and easy one with lots of 20 minute meals. Though, I admit I am more drawn to the pretty pictures most of the time.
My fave cookbook is Weight Watchers 20 Minute Recipes. It was a special release by Time, Inc., an it is AWESOME!!!!!! So much flavor, so little points!
I'm a subscriber, too, via Google reader.
You look wonderful, keep it up :)
I have two favorite cookbooks;
1 - Cook Yourself Thin ;; it has fantastic recipies!!
2 - Taste of Home!

Wow, you look great! 40 pounds makes a big difference!
What a great give away! I bought that same cookbook several weeks ago and also love it. I've only tried three of the recipes so far, but they have all turned out to be really good. Not only are they easy to make, but they are delicious.
My favorite cookbook is a family cookbook that one of my aunts made for me when I got married. She compiled a bunch of family recipes and favorite quotes and verses. I use it all the time!

Wowza! First off you look DYNOMITE!!! Seriously, you look gorgeous!!!! I love the dress, very flattering...and look at you...WOWOWOW!!!
Secondly, I wanted to tell you I am now a follower, as I'd love to win the HG cookbook...
Thirdly, my favorite cookbook is my family's cookbook. My Grandma went through and hand-wrote ALL the recipes in it. Some of our normal/typical recipes are in that book - like the kind that you take to Thanksgiving dinner, etc. It's the most special one I have!! Maybe not the most healthy though :)
What fun! Thanks for giving us the opportunity!
My favorite cookbook is actually a weight watcher's cookbook. I'm not a member of WW, but I somehow ended up with this book and LOVE it...it allows me to make healthy, delicious things fast...several of the recipes have been added to our regular "rotation!"

Wow great job on all your weight loss. I don't have a favorite cook book per se - tend to just print recipes online. I do love the Taste of Home stuff though! Looks like a great cookbook!
I hope this second entry is legit....I subscribe in my reader already!!!
My favorite cookbook is the good old fashioned Betty Crocker cookbook.
I follow your blog.
I love the Barefoot Contessa's cookbooks. Not really healthy eating friendly though.

My favorite cookbook is "Farmhouse Cookbook" by Susan Herrmann Loomis.
My favorite cookbook is my hometown's cookbook (Misawa Air Base, Japan).. lots of yummy recipes from all over.
This book is something I need as I am trying to lose some weight.
I love all the books by Racheal Ray. I try to tweak them and make them healthy, when I can. Though sometimes her stuff is already pretty point friendly. And PS Good for you! You are just knocking that weight off like crazy! Doing a happy dance for you!
I love those little cookbooks you get from Pampered Chef for $1. They have great recipes!
I subscribe to you via google reader. Thanks.
My favorite cookbook is the Junior League cookbook from Wichita, Ks. I have about 100 cookbook and this is by far my favorite!
I don't have a favorite I love them all!(Over 100)
I love just a simple Betty Crocker cookbook. I cook from scratch a lot so this book is extremely helpful. Please enter me in the contest!

I also just started following you the other day...you are looking good girl !
Great giveaway! My favorite cookbook has to be my grandmas Fannie Farmer cookbook. Hardly a healthy recipe in it, but it has all her handwritten notes on why this recipe worked, and what she did different in the next one.
CONGRATS ON 40 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll like to you tonight! :D
You look great!
I've never met a cookbook I didn't like but my "More with Less" cookbook is one of my go-to books.
What a great giveaway! I follow you in GoogleReader too. Congrats on the loss. :)
I love allrecipes.com. Not really a cookbook, but I use it often when I'm in a pinch or need to find a recipe to use up foods that are going to spoil. And yes, I usually find a fattening dessert to make from there too. Why must there be so many yummy desserts to try! :)
To be honest, I don't have a favorite cookbook, but my mother in law made me a great recipe box full of delicious recipes!
Congrats. You inspire me. My favorite cookbook is The Most Decadent Diet Ever. Everything is so good tasting but no bad for you.
I am a follower too.
I love Hungry Girl and would love to win this cookbook. And I missed this post last week, but your update pic looks AWESOME. WTG! (And your daughter is adorable.) I am a follower too.
I love the Betty Crocker cookbook. I use it all the time.
