  • I was moved to Gold at 181. Guess every center is a lil different.
  • Must be, last time on LAWL (when I used a COD), I was started on Gold at 189.
  • Paula - You're 5'8 so I think that's a consideration as well. And I think I was told they have a 4lb leeway as to when to move you. I think it was something like that anyway. But I remember being really slow on the scale movement for about 4 weeks around 225 and they wouldn't move me because I was still over whatever the leeway was to move me.
  • I have been trying purple today (which would be gold if i did lites)...........hmmmmmm, I think I might have to do red still (which would be purple if I did lites). I feel like I am starving today. It is TOM, so I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Also, I have not had a true POP day in long long time. Did any of you feel the crunch when you went down a plan? My HSBNWI today was 188.6.......so I am right on the border. I really don't know if height has anything to do with it or not. I really don't want to go to my COD today..............hmmmm, well, I'll hold off having another snack for a few to see what ya'll think. If it is just an adjustment, I can tough it out. I just am not sure what to do.
  • Yeah, that's one good thing about being tall, we can carry of a little more weight without showing it. Like, your goal of 120, I cannot imagine getting to 120. I'd be a stick. I'll be happy with 155ish, I was very comfortable at that weight a few years back.
  • Nicole - Yeah, there is a bit of a learning curve with the new plan. I missed the extra S and 1/2P so much at first. That's why I'm actually looking forward to going on blue. Even if the protein sizes are smaller, I get 3S!

    Paula - Haven't seen 120 since I was a kid, but I remember being 133 and thinking that I wanted to lose another 10-15. Plus, I'm short. So I might as well go for it.
  • well, i just put myself back on red. and let me tell you.......that bowl of shredded wheat sure made me feel better. if i do not lose this week, i will try purple again....but it seems like ever since they switched me, i have really struggled, and have not had a good loss. we'll see what happens.
    XOXO
  • Megan: Thanks for the wellness wishes. I hope you don't catch it because its made me pretty weak. I'm attempting the gym today but I think I'm only going to do my cardio for 15-20 minutes to try and build myself back up slowly. I usually do 30 minutes. Anywhoo...

    I just called the LA at Home number to find out about when I would be dropped to the next plan (which is Gold for me). They said that I'm supposed to drop when I lost 2 more lbs (which is 176 for me), but they're going ahead and sending me a new book now and I'll start on the Gold plan tomorrow.

    Sorry I'm just rambling on and on...I hope everyone's sclaes are moving down and down! I'm looking forward to seeing the weigh-ins on Friday!
  • Nicole - I think Katie's COD had her on red w/o lites for a long time. I think she said they told her she could stay on it as long as she was losing. Maybe she'll check in and verify this.

    Erika - WTG on being moved down a plan. Even if it's less food, it means you're losing weight.
  • Hello everyone,

    Sorry for the late posting today but we were very busy at work where it is the end of the month and I had to go on the phone for a bit. Only took 2 calls so I am not sure why I was on the phone but it is not for me to question why!!!

    Second day of FF is almost over. I didn't see a change the last time I did this weight wise and I don't this time so far either, but for me it is more of a personal thing to know I did it.

    So, supper is in the oven (haddock) and I am having some broccoli with it.

    Now I just have to go get some slimfast shakes at Walmart for next week. Maybe I'll be lucky and they will be on sale too (Not!!)

    Sickness is rapidly spreading throughout work so I hope I don't get it. I had the flu shot so it better work for me!!!

    I'll be back after supper!!
  • I succeeded in finishing two TO days! Tonight for dinner I might have cheated a little, my mom made chicken veggie soup (it's very healthy) and I was supposed to eat the lean meat and veggies but there was a little chicken broth as well, not perfectly on plan but close, I'm still proud of myself!
  • Melissa - Chicken broth is a condiment, and I've had it a time or two on TO myself. You did great. Here's to real food tomorrow!
  • Thanks Cassi! And I agree yay for normal eating tomorrow!
  • Starting Tomorrow!
    Hi! I just got my first delivery of LAWL today and can't wait to start! Last week I started dieting and bringing my lunches to work to get used to this program, so I've gotten a bit of a head start on the weight loss. Im doing the TO tomorrow and friday and then will be POP from here on out! Ive never been skinny but I'm moving from Chicago to California in a few months and really need a fresh start (plus a swim-suit ready body!).

    Wish me luck!
