....the start of a whole new me. I found this site doing a search on LA Weight Loss booklets. About 4 years ago I watched a co-worker shrink before my eyes using that program. After she was about half way through her loss I found a site that had files of all the LA Color Plans; I knew I could not afford to sign up officially so I tried to do it on my own. I did find MUCH of the Plan online and I did it for a while....and you all know the rest because you all have been there too.

Well I can't find the information again, but what I did find was THIS place: which I foresee as being a whole lot better in the long run. I think that I will be going for the "exchange system" plan. I have spent a ton of time on this site today, reading posts, following links and just pouring over information.

I have tried just about everything out there, and as long as I stick to it, it works. The problem is that once I start doing well, I get a little smart alecky and start slipping....you know the rest.

I am a 45 year old, happily married (2010 was 23 years), Mom of 2 with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I work, my DH is the stay at home parent, always has been. He has Crohn's, so ya, our house can be real fun sometimes!

I hope to stay active here and get the support/accountability I need to stay on track. I think that has been a huge hole in my past attempts.

So that's me in a nutshell, hopefully I will be able to contribute as well as glean information here. I can't wait to start my first FULL day of exchanging tomorrow!

Welcome! I did LA weight loss myself in the past... good program, but right now I am doing calorie counting.

This is a great site!

to 3FC!
Best wishes on your weight loss journey

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Thank you all for the welcome! Today is my first "official" day of doing kind of a LAWL/exchange combination. I want to work out my own plan so that I am not tied to someone else's idea of what is best for me. I am a fruit and veggies lover, and I know that as long as I pump those up I am off on the right track.

Welcome and good luck!
