Marisa- I have been doing lawl for about a year. (started march 28 2004) Yes I lost all of my weight on this plan. I took about a month break and tried ww. I lost a couple of pounds on that plan but it came off very slowly. so I got discouraged and then stopped dieting all together, so I gained 7 pounds back in a very short time. I finally decided that enough was enough. I knew LAWL was what worked for me, so I came back to it. Lost the 7 pounds in a couple of weeks and got back on track. It's been about a month since I've been totally back on track and following the plan. I'm sooo thankful I did. Now I'm just 10 pounds from my goal. Last month around this time I was at 174! So long story short (or short story long.
)... yes I have lost all of my weight on this plan and I'm sure if I counted all of the weight I've had to re-lose after holidays and vacations I would be up in the 100 pounds lost area.
I have 6 weeks left from a 50 week program. (I had them put my file on hold for a few months. I still followed the plan, but I was tired of going in to the office. That was after about 9 months of being on the plan). Anyway, I hope this post didn't confuse you. I'm sort of confused and it's my story.
Amy, I use the luna bars (or some other substitution) and I just mark down a la lite in my diary. I bought my bars in bulk and ended up selling them on ebay, so they don't know the difference. I think Julie had a good idea when she said just tell them you are using la lites you bought off ebay.
