Hi everyone
I just started LAWL on July 4th (Independence from FAT day) and so far it's going pretty good. I'm down 5.6 pounds. It's amazing to me, because I've been trying to diet for the past several months - it seems like I hit 45 and the scale started creeping upwards and just kept creeping upwards no matter what I did. My husband had also put on quite a bit of weight after having a couple surgeries this past week, so he is also on LAWL and, being male, having even better results.
I've been checking out the threads here for the past week or so, and we were ecstatic to find that Luna bars are a suitable substitute for the cardboard-tasting L.A. Lites. The counselors at our COD here in the Portland, OR area weren't so thrilled that we found out about that and declined their offer that we purchase all the Lites in advance. (I'm just glad we found out before we invested all that money in the Lites!) If anyone knows a good substitution for the mushroom soup, I'd also be interested in finding a substitution for that. I like the soup, but paying $16 for a box of 7 single-serving packets isn't particularly appealing.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
