Hi everyone-

I've been lurking for a while around this board, but finally got the courage to post...you all seem so supportive, and I could use the support!

I joined LAWL on 9/13/02 and have lost about 11 pounds, and nine inches. I'm on the red plan.

I bought the cookbook, which really helped. I would never be able to do it without those recipes.

Does anyone know about the popcorn/cheese curls treats? One woman at my center told me that I could have one a day as a starch, another told me only one a week. Any ideas?

I'm looking forward to chatting with y'all!!

Hey Cheer:
I get the popcorn and the cheese curls all of the time. As long as you have the starch available you can have the popcorn or cheese curls any time there is not limit on how often you can have them in a week. The La delights (muffins) are only four times a week. The cheese curls get me through a lot of tough times.

hi cheer, nice to meet you. looks like we started around the same time. i'm loving LAWL. as for the cheese curls and popcorn, i use them, but not all the time. they are great for something to crunch during a movie when everyone else in inhaling their popcorn. my center told me just not to go wild with them. maybe one every other day or so. and don't forget...the cheese curls and the toffee popcorn have a fat serving too. good luck! check in often, it really helps.

Gringa--

A fat serving??? They never told me that? I hoarde my precious little fat (and dairy) serving...I don't know if I would want to "waste" it on the cheese curls!!

I've been checking the board a lot lately. It does help to hear what other people are going through. While I love my one-on-one support with the counselors, it is nice to be able to "talk" to others going through the same program!

Keep up the good work everyone!

I understand! I horde my fat and dairy too!

the cheese curls are pretty good though. oh, and the regular popcorn...i think it's cheese herb or something, only counts as a starch. it's yummy too.
