I haven't seen anyone post that they're following that diet plan, btw. Most of us are on the eat less, exercise more, repeat indefinitely plan. Tonia 221/195/130 |

Hi Tonia!
Thanks for your response. I was just curious about the plan....I agree with the concept of eating less, exercising more and repeating! I used to dance 5 nights a week, and I never had to worry about my weight. Now, medical issues only allow me to dance once or twice a week so my weight has crept up there!...I am almost 58 years old and my body just isn't cooperating...:-) Take care, MaryAnn C |

LA Weight Loss Center Diet????Where did the post go?
Hi MarryAnn C,
Sorry I haven't heard anyone around here that follows the LA Weight Loss program. I and a few others here have read "Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Solution" book. I really enjoyed it and try to implement some of it into my life as well. Most of us here have just changed the way we use to eat to a healthier way of eating and exercise and use one another for support. I hope this helps, Paul "GCoggi" wrote in message ... Hi Everyone!

LA Weight Loss Center Diet????Where did the post go?
I wrote a post about the LA Weight Loss Center diet...to see if anyone is on
it...It is a popular weight loss diet in my area...and I was wondering if it works?? I started LAWL a week ago on the recommendation of several friends who've enjoyed great success there. I started out at ~220 looking for a 60-pound loss. With the Jet Start, I've lost 7.5 pounds, and look to (hopefully) lose 1-2 pounds a week from here on out. The main observations and caveats from my friends hold true for me: - You will lose weight. Period. And you won't be hungry. I've had trouble cramming in all the food required each day. - Good news: This isn't Atkins! You get to have fruit every day, in fact, it's required, as are starches, carbs, and all veggies. The pre-fab supplements/snacks are actually extremely delicious too. I'd eat them if I *weren't* on the diet. - This program is expensive. Something around $10/pound plus fees and other charges which for me amounted to $640 up front plus the costs later on for supplements. Not a deal-breaker for me, because I was ready for it, but the big-ticket items are sprung upon you with no warning and as "today-only" deals. I was presented today with a tab for supplements that had to be purchased upfront 'today only' for $800+. I just said "no" and you should have seen all the flurry and fluster in the back office. - I was looking for a program that required accountability which takes its form here as a 3X/week weigh-in. However, trying to squeeze that into a lunch hour is difficult since the visits have each taken 45 minutes or more. There should be some kind of 'express' program for busy professionals. - The program insists that alcohol consumption is verboten but I've managed to lose weight while still enjoying wine every evening. - Each time I visit, I talk to a different counselor. I'd prefer working with only one or two. All that said, I'm planning to stick with the program for my initial 11 weeks, then I'll decide whether to spend the money for the additional weeks/weight-loss. |

LA Weight Loss Center Diet????Where did the post go?
Hi !
I worked at the LA Weight Loss Center about 4 years ago. I know it is a good program and I had many of my clients lose a lot of weight on it. One of my favorite clients was a young girl who stuck to the program to the letter and successfully lost 110 lbs!!! I gave her a hug everytime she reached a weight loss goal. I lost that job due to my crohns disease and frequent hospitalizations. You were wise not to buy the $800 worth of supplements available "that day only"....It is a gimmick to increase sales. When the Center's sales are down for the month, they will have those "special sales". We ( the counselors) had to call clients at their homes and offer these "special deals'" I hated that part of my job! I loved helping people with their weight loss goals and I had several clients who insisted on seeing only me because they knew that I truly cared about them. Good luck with your program!...It does really work!...MaryAnn C |
