Roberta - I am on plan 5 and I hate all those starches too!!! But dont worry plan 4 will be so mcuh better! I am 4 lbs from only having 5 starches!!!
I am weighing in tomorrow morning! YIKES! I have mixed emotions about this one. Im not sure that I have lost!

Have you lost weight eating all 7 starches? I am gagging on them. (really). I want to swap 3 starches for another protein, think that will work? I posted the question and hopefully someone who has more experience than I have on the new plan will tell me.
I figure each starch as about 100 calories, is that right? If so, the swap to one protein would be about the same, unless I am way off.
Good luck with the last 4 pounds to the next level.
Went to WI this morning and I am exactly the same as I have been for the last three WI, I mean to the once! These last 5 lbs are killing me!

I am so proud of you for getting so close to your goal. At this point, you are probably losing inches (muscle weighs 5 times what fat does, did you know that?). So I bet you are shrinking and the last 5 will come.
I actually changed my goal weight down another 15 pounds today, according to my doctor I set the level way too high.
Keep going, you inspire those of us who have a long long weigh to go.
That pretty much tells me what I needed to know. I know how my body reacts to carbohydrates and even though I am making good high fiber choices, I cannot fathom eating 7 starches without stalling or gaining weight. I have been losing consistently, every other week a good loss of about 2 - 3 pounds and the the alternate week, about 3/4 to 1 pound. I have a very long long way to go and cannot afford to slow down.
Hopefully someone will see my question soon and post an answer. Even though I picked up the new program today I am sticking with the old Red 1 until the weekend is over. Too many plans and already have my food all set up. I will start the new one on Mnday morning.
Well, I weighted myself this morning and I'm down 5 pounds, so my goal is 10 pounds from where I am now That will put me at 198 (or below, that would be ok too ) - I can't wait to be under 200 again!!
Awesome losses ladies! I was up 1.2 but it is TOM... However I did get moved to plan 4! YAY only 5 starches and 4 veggies! I am getting so sick of veggies, However I did try the Asparagus Dijon recipe out of the LA Lite Cookbook last night and it is delicious!! Try it!
That will put me at 198 (or below, that would be ok too 
) - I can't wait to be under 200 again!!
