New here, just joined LA WEIGHT loss, anyone else?

[disneyfan2]

I have just started this program(I am in Canada) and although i have only finished my take off and day 2 into the program. I am finding it difficult now that i cannot have rice,pasta, potatoes and no red meat. These are my staples in my family meals. I can see it getting very difficult seeing as these are my families favorites!!! Any suggestions would be great.

For anyone who does the program, is there an onsite forum for LA weight loss for suggestions?

so i need to loose 40pds but would be thrilled with 20
