Smile New to LAWL and to the forum :D

Hello everyone!

I am new to LAWL and to this wonderful forum. I just joined LAWL 2 days ago, but I haven't been given my program because my doctor hasn't signed the form I really really can't wait to get the program and start on it.
I have already lost 18 lbs on my own, but I started gaining it back because as usual I fell off the wagon and stayed on the ground instead of getting back on it lol. That is the reason I decided to join this program which I have never tried before. It is costing me so much money that I have buyer's remorse, but after reading some of your posts in this forum I feel a little better knowing that some of you have had such wonderful results.

Anyways congratulations to you all on your weight loss so far, you really inspire me

Luisa

Thank you both for your warm welcome

Keshia, I know how you feel about "not wasting your money" but I think we made the right decision. We just have to work the program and the program will work with us. I personaly have already changed my lifestyle a few months ago and have lost 19 lbs since this morning but like I said in my original post I want the accountability of LAWL. I have been overweight and unhealthy for way too long and I am just sick and tired of it (no pun intended lol )
Like you I also have a 4 year old daughter and she is missing out on a lot of things she could be doing with me because of my weight, and that disappoints me. I want to be the best mom I can be, and I think that to be that mom I need to lose this weight and get healthy.

Good luck to you and to all of us on this journey!

Luisa

Luisa and Keisha! Congratulations on taking the step to a healthier and thinner you! This group is awesome, you will have so much support on your journey and make wonderful friends to boot.

Keisha - I think a lot of us have gone through sticker shock when joining LAWL but let me tell you the plan DOES work. If you stick to the plan you will lose weight and that is what we are paying for!

I look forward to getting to know you both and wish you both the best of luck!!

Hi all
I just wanted tosay that the LAWL plan does work. I've tried just about all of them I tried WW but I could manuever those points however I felt and it just didin't work for me. I tried atkins but got migaraines. I tried drugs lie phentermine but my body reacted weird. LAWL does for me what those others did not, itholds me accountable and it is a lifesyle change. Hubby did LAWL and lost 50lbs and has kept it off for about a year now. It is worth it, when you follow the plan you will have great results.

I am new, too! I joined with a hope to feel good by April 1. I am trying so hard because every other diet has not worked for me. I am ready to regain my life. This seems like a great forum to join.

Welcome Ladies
Keisha I did WW too in the past and it is hard to get the Points out of your mind. If you stick to the plan you will be successful, this board is living proof! I started on September 25 and have lost 20 lbs and 9". I still have many things I love, less of some of the things I adore but am enjoying the program. Welcome to our world!

another word to our newbies....this really works...less food,,more healthy food..lots of lemon water....... portions are sooo important..I also did WW and it is a great program...But I need more structure and LESS options right now.....Its too easy to blow it on WW , I think.....nance
