Snacks:
Iced fat free latte, no sweetener 
cucumbers with greek yogurt everything but bagel dip 
bowl of watermelon [/b]Bowl is arbitrary. It could be 100g or 400g. Ditch the fat free everything. Choose 2% or just do a dash of heavy cream. This isnt a bad snack at all it just depends on portion size. [b]

Can I lose weight like this or do I need to really up my fitness or cut all sugar and bad foods like the cookies?[/quote]

You lose weight by having a calorie deficit. First you need to know what your TDEE and activity level is and then you need to start measuring food and getting an idea of calories. Your choices above to use fat free yogurt and milk are interesting when it looks like lots of butter is being used. Butter is all fat, which isnt bad but milk/yogurt have a better balance of protein carbs and fats. Aim for 600-800g of vegetables and fruits a day. Aim for a considerable amount of protein (at least 0.6lb per BW depending on exercise needs). Fats and carbs can be the remainder of your calories but most women 110lbs need a minimum of 40g Fat to maintain hormones/etc but this number is likely to be higher depending on your BW.

Youd be surprised how little protein you are likely eating and how much fat you are eating. Fat is not bad but it cant mean surplus calories, something else has to give. Butter isnt empty or bad but from the menu above (without additional detials) it looks like every meal has significant butter. You can only do that in conjunction with your carb intake by sacrificing protein or going over your daily requirement of calories. [/quote]
