All the new pictures and does look amazing! I went to WI today and I am down another 1.2 lbs. That's almost 4lbs this week, 16.5lbs total! I can't wait unti I can feel it more in my clothes. They are getting a little big on me now, especially in the back side, but I am not ready for a smaller size yet. I know the next 16 lbs will make a bigger difference! Keep up all the hard work you guys! You are amazing!
I have a question for you who use the LAWL cookbook. I have been noticing some of the portions seem off. For exampe, there is a recipe for Indain Style Chicken and it says it counts for 3 veggies. It just doesnt make sense to me. All it has is a little tomato, green pepper and green onions. It doesn't seem like enough to make 3 servings of veggies. What does you guys think? I was wondering if it was maybe because I am on the numbered plans and not the colored plans. I heard the portions are a little different. Was the cookbook written using colored plan serving sizes? Let me know if you have any insight!
I hope everyone is enjoying your Saturday. Ours is nice and snowy. We will be staying in for the day. Stores are insane anyways!
I bought a cookbook when I started on the coloured plan in September and then they switched to the numbered plans so I think the exchanges are a bit off but I've still been counting it for what it says and it hasn't made a noticeable difference.
Hey everyone,
I love the new pics for Emily, Felicia; Liz, Dan and family.
I am up very early and if Mother Nature cooperates today I am heading off to Southern Cal - Oceanside- to visit family for 9 days. Wish me luck. We had a nasty winter storm yesterday, snow, freezing rain, ice and most flights in the afternoon and evening were cancelled. That is exactly why I really want to escape the Midwest.
Take care and be consistent.

I have to go to a my boyfriends work Christmas party next week. I asked him how formal it's going to be. He has no idea which means I have no idea what to wear which stresses me out. Long story short, I went shopping (which typically depresses me) and was very happy to discover that I am officially a size 14!!!! HURRAY!! I can't remember the last time I could shop in regular stores. Anyways, I bought a new outfit for the party and if I do say so myself it looks really good on me! It's the first time in such a long time that I've felt that way in anything that I've put on.
Ternoway, Congratulations! It is a wonderful victory to be able to buy in the regular departments.
Being able to shop in the regular womans department was a big goal of mine when I started. When I shopped with friends or even my daughter I would not look at clothes because I did not want to admit I had to go to the "Womens" department.
Three years ago I found myself not able to fit into size 18 pants and the prospect of having to buy a 20 got me into WW. I had not weighted myself in years and was shocked to learn that I was over 220# Not sure how that happened.
I lost 25#s and got into 16s. This year I was starting to gain back some weight and I was damned if I was going to buy bigger pants. So, here I am in LAWL and now in 14s. I even bought a pair of junior sweat pants this week!
I am still trying for 12s but I am so happy not to be shopping in the "Women's" department. I was sick of the giant arm holes and funky colors they put real women in.
Don't get me wrong I believe that size does not make the person and that beauty is much greater than a number on a scale. But I was not happy and felt I had failed myself.
This is better and this forum is wonderful! I really do not see myself doing this well without being able to read about everybody's victories and failures.
Congratulations to us all for knowing what we need and working towards that goal one step at a time!
Felicia, Emily and The Ware Family.....great new pics!!!
Had a crazy busy weekend and sitting here at 11 PM working to meet some ridiculous deadlines....I need a winning lottery tix!
i go in tomorrow morning for my "personal success visit", which i think is just their chance to sell me some LA LITES in bulk. i'm very nervous because i think they will try and bully me into buying them. i don't need LA LITES right? i need help.
also, i bought a scale today... one of those old school dial ones.. it says i lost 2 pounds this weekend, but we'll see what happens when i WI tomorrow! wish me luck!
Michie - Don't let them bully you into buying Lites if you don't think you need them. I have been on LAWL for a month and have not ever eaten a Lite and am down 18 pounds.
I don't think for a minute that if I had decided to use the Lites that I would have had a greater degree of success. LAWL would have been richer but would I have been any thinner? Doubt it. If you don't want them be firm and insist that you will not be buying them.
Yeah, I firmly told them that I wasn't going to buy them. The counselor was kind of dumb about it anyway... their bad! So I walked out with my new little Free To Live book thing and that is ALL! So proud of me!
Oh, and I lost 3 pounds. EEK! I am so happy... not even a full week into it and i already lost weight. That is pretty sweet! I am so motivated right now I think I ma going to go for a walk! Hope everyone is well! Have a great day!
