Hey all-I haven't been here for YEARS! I joined 3 fat Chicks in 2001 when it was mainly just the 3 sisters journaling their journey...

Well, I'm back again! I just joined LA Weightloss on Tuesday, lost 3lbs so far and am looking for info. from you gals who've got experience with this plan. I'm too heavy to fail NOT TO MENTION it's to expensive for me to fail!
We had a new baby girl 9 months agao and we want another but I can't even entertain the thought of getting preggers with all this Jelly I already have to deal with!!! SO, if any one you can give me some advice as how to work the plan to my full potential-I'd GREATLY appreciate it, like, even more than a chocolate bar right now A chocolate bar and some chips... And, some pizza... I'd really love some pizza... OOOOOOOO the pangs of food detox!!!

Many blessings ladies and BE GREAT DAY!

Hi Rachelle and welcome! Yea!!!!!!!!!! for you taking action to get healthy for yourself and your family.

Check out the recipe thread - lots of good ideas for cooking thing you can eat and your family can enjoy, too.

As far as the cravings go, if I'm dying for pizza, I sub a lean cuisine pizza or pasta dish, or mexican, whatever you are craving. Depending on which plan you are on, you are allowed a few frozen or restaurant entrees per week.

Are you doing the bars? They are great for the sweet tooth. Also, sugar-free mints, gum, candy, and dessert teas.

Don't forget your water!

Come over to the Losers and Friends thread and say hello!
