After lurking aroung this site for a few weeks and looking at very impressive stats, I decided to join LA Weight Loss today. My weight is the highest it has ever been in my life and I need to do something about it. I was glad that I had all the information that has been shared on this site so I knew how to handle things. A question for all you veterans- In addition to this site, do any of you use the LA Weight Loss site? I realize there is a charge but I was wondering if you do use it and if so how helpful do you find it?
Welcome!! And congrats on making the decision to join. You'll love this site for support and valuable information--trust me--if you ask--someone will know! I don't use the site (not available to everyone) but others do so I'm sure they will chime in. Cassi has provided tons of recipes modified by the LAWL Chefs.
WELCOME! It's exciting taking that first leap, toward a skinny, healthy body. I hope you have great sussess, and don't heitate to post questions. Everybody on this sight is so helpful. I was very lucky to run across it myself.
Have a great day!
Welcome Jormom! I use the LA site - I got it at the open house when they discounted it 30%. Here's my review:
Message Boards - I think because they have so many boards, there isn't a lot of action. They have boards for each color plan, and then each group of weight loss - (50 and underlbs to lose, 50-100, 100+, at maintenance, halfway, etc, etc). This board is much better, and I think the girls on here are more informed than a lot on that site.
Food Diary - Very slow and awkward to use. Better off using your diary from COD and Fitday (free) if you want to track.
Weight Tracker - Very basic - just your weight. Better off using Fitday (free) to give you reports, etc.
LA Chef - If you like to cook, this is the best part (to me) of the site. You can e-mail the chef any recipe and they will give it an LAWL makeover for you.
E-mail the dietician - You can send any questions on new products or on the plan to the dietician and they will answer you within one business day. This is cool too, but you also can have the COD do it for you.
I don't know if I will renew my membership after it expires, but I am sending recipes to the chef, and I can search the message boards in a thread where others post their recipes from the chef. And I like being able to send the dietician a question in my own words when I feel like it, and then getting a response back directly. But I don't really use the other parts of the site.
Hope all this helped. And again - welcome to the board!
Buffy - Let me know what you're looking for and I'll try to find it. I'm a little behind on reading/posting/requests because of work, but I'd be happy to look for you.
When I signed up for LAWL, they gave me a site and password, but I only saw the cards on there. Is there another site? Thanks so much for allowing me to be on the journey with all of you.
Newbie here
