LA Weight Loss
Lose weight and look great like everyone in LA
BACKGROUND
With more than 400 locations and success stories from across the world, LA Weight Loss has helped people battling the bulge lose the weight, not the lifestyle. This tagline for LA Weight Loss attracts people across the globe to a program that teaches how to effectively lose weight- not just give you the answers. It's not another trendy diet of the moment. Since 1994, the LA Weight Loss centers have provided clients with individualized counseling, by nutrition experts or successful clients, that prepare them for leading healthier lives. Encouragement, smart eating and exercise all contribute to the success of LA Weight Loss clients. You'll learn to eat appropriate portions, as well as enjoy a diet rich in nutrients- a balanced approach that does not focus exclusively on one group of food or completely remove another.
A complete history of each client's health is taken by counselors. This offers an extra level of attentiveness so that the program is safe and effective. Clients then visit the center to participate in individual counseling meetings. LA Weight Loss lasts only 12-months divided by three phases: Weight Loss, Stabilize, Maintenance.

DIET and NUTRITION
LA Weight Loss has a non-diet approach. They promote a healthy weight loss program, that teaches you how to live a healthy and balanced life- not just kill a few pounds for the moment. You won't have to seriously restrict one group of food, like a low-carb or no-fat diet; instead, you'll learn how to enjoy all things in moderation assuring your body receives all the nutrients it needs. In addition to teaching how to make and enjoy delicious, healthful meals at home, LA Weight Loss recognizes that it's not always convenient to do so. LA provides guidance to help you dine at a restaurant, without neglecting your plan.
LA Weight Loss also has a healthy cookbook available at most centers. Inside you'll find chocolate truffles, vegetable ziti bake and their famous philly cheesesteak.
EXERCISE
As part of the LA Weight Loss program, you'll be encouraged to get up and move. Any weight loss program worth its salt is going to make this recommendation- so don't think you're getting out of it. LA states that even a mild exercise regimen will yield results. Your exercise plan will be created by your counselor, specific to your needs, experience and limitations.
CONCLUSION
Provided there is a center in your area, LA Weight Loss is an ideal weight loss program. By offering individualized counseling, you're able to follow a plan created specific to your unique needs. If you're looking for a one size fits all program- then look elsewhere. With a long established brand and reputation and genuine testimonials on the site, you'll feel right at home at LA Weight Loss. Most importantly, you'll be able to lose weight and find a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

DESPITE ALL THE BUSINESS DOWNFALLS THIS WEIGHTLOSS PROGRAM WORKS PERFECTLY
I am so sorry for a great counsellors who worked or works for LA Weight Loss Company in Burlington,Hamilton,Oakville,Mississauga locations and more in this area.
They are so trustful and helpful,lot of them has vry high knovledge and very intelligent.I am on their program at one of their location what will closing down very soon. I do lose my weight greatly,thanks to one of the best counsellor! I started at Burlington location and ended at Oakville,where I found my best motivator in my life!She is fantastic with high knowledge and her passion for to get people to get to their goal weight.I know her now over a year.I did renew my program because so nicely my weight is coming off,but I am not at the end,I still has to lose more.And I will,because this lady tought me so much how to live a healthy and happy lifestyle.I am with this program still because of her help.Beside, all the girls (they are younger then her)were good and helpful,but they were asking many time her oppinion about what is good to suggest in certain time)I think they were working in great atmosphere together,first because this lady,is in this center, and everyone looks up to her and respects her knowledge for her working act.Girls are started to leave one by one not to long time ago.One was an olympic skater,she told me it is a hard decission because she loves her job and learned so much from this lady who is a fantastic person all the way,helped so many client to lose weight,giving many advise and boost to live healthy.The company promoted her as a center manager few months ago.And she did deserve that because saving so many life with the best support!After about a month,on a discasting way the companytook her position away,because they closed an other center,and that manager neede this position,who already run down an other center befor and I herd from one of my friend,this young manager girl was drinking on a job on many occassion when she was in Port Credit center a manager.The Company gave a manager position to this young,has a horrible attitude,person.My counsellor is an assistant manager now.I don't think she cares to much about who has what kind of position,she is for us,for people,who needs help.I herd,she made the most money in this center for the company.Yes she sells me everything too,but I know all the bars and supplements what she reccomends to me and others,she believes and knows it helps on the program.I am so sorry for this lady and angry,and I'll miss all the other girls.Now I see an other is quitting and the other gets horrible treat from the company for no reason.I heard,this center is closing too!And Others too!!!!!!
I do not know what else is coming,but this company is can not be trusted,does not matter how good program they have,if many of us can not finish the program.They just taking our money.Few weeks ago my girlfriend and her mother and sister signed up on an open house!
Because the cancellation can be before 10 days,they not going to get back their money! I just signed up to renewing,no refund!!!No refund on an over 1000 dollar for their bars!!!! I paid for bars and supplements!!!!I can not go to other center,because they are already closed in the last few months all other city's center what would be reachable for me or of my friends.Burlington,Erin Mills,Port Credit,Hamilton, already closed just not to long time ago. I know,the company is going down,they do not telling to their own employees,just from one day to an other.Many of the will be out of job from one momment to an other,these people,who are really for us,overweight people.The company is saying,they are saving life! It si not this company, the Heros are these ladies,specially my counsellor,who were working with us one on one and taking all the "S" form us and from this distrustable company!!!
I will make sure my counsellor will know all my great respect and I hope she'll be found a better company to work for where she'll be happy on her job too.
I wish her all the best in her life and I do thank you for all the great things and positive attitude what I got from you over a year!I know many of my co-loser "friends" thinks the same way!!!
I have to write her name down,she deserve everything on this world! Andrea.A cute funky,ellegant,some time very strick,but beside that she is always smiles and very warm,helpful,trustable.
I lost 108 lbs so far with her help! And I learned a great lesson from her for my whole life.Now I will still lose some more,I got married last year, we do plan for baby soon,and I know what to do and how to live my life forever because of Andrea.
Just would like to know how do I get my refund and if anyone have the number to the corporate office. Thanks!!!
My husband joined LAW in Oct 2007...LAW took is money for his one year membership, money for the supplements, money for the Lite bars. Every week he followed his program, the food guide and the weight session. He lost 20 pounds the first month; however after reaching his "plateau", the weight was not coming off as fast as promised. He got frustrated and after 6-7 months trying - he stops doing the LAW rules. Now that was me who got frustrated because LAW CSR took all his money and did not even care to follow up with him or even call up to see why they have not seen him for some weeks….of course not they got his money in the first place why should they do all that work now. Who have not been discouraged following a diet - Is it not why people joint Diet Program so CSR or instructors can give them the push needed? Well I will not recommend LAW because of there none customer service attitude. They are sales people in the first place and they work for their $$$. I understand LAW might have a few success stories but in reality there are more untold unsatisfied client’s stories. Stop losing your money to this company...start believing in yourself and do what you already know!
LA Weight Loss Franchise Company based out of Horsham, PA is going bankrupt. The company is poorly run and will follow Pure Weight Loss down the drain very soon. Try Jenny Craig!
I joined LA weightloss in Jan. of 2008 and have lost 40 pounds, I reached my goal 6.5 months after starting. I didn't lose 2 pounds a week like they told me, but I lost it and I'm happy!! It is an expensive program, but for me it has been worth every penny I have spent. I take all of the supplements and take advantage of the bars and snacks, they help with my cravings, and I feel the supplements have attributed to the way my body looks. I have never felt better in my life.
I joined my center which also happens to be the center that the woman on the cover of People magazine went to. I am thrilled every time I go in there because Donna is awesome. She has never pushed me to buy anything! Even though I did buy some of their biscotti because I loved it with my coffee before I started watching my intake. I also bought there snacks because I was a snacker and loved potato chips before. This is a great program and has helped me see what I was eating was wrong and I have NEVER been hungry. I stay satisfied all day! They do run specials because me plan only cost $390.00 for the whole thing. That is like a months worth of food on Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem. I am happy with this program and recommend it to people who want some assistance in losing weight or getting healthy. Hopefully you will find someone as caring as Donna at your center.
Next week I complete my plan with LA. Never had to buy a single thing-everyone was extremely nice and helpful. It was a pleasure and I never was hungry. I reached my goal and must say I am extremely satisfied with the plan and the ladies that work there.
I joined LA about six months ago. I have lost 40 pounds and gone from a size 12 to a 6. The people who complain were probably not serious to begin with and thus cheated. No one at the two centers I have been to "force" you to buy anything. I have NEVER purchased any of their products and have gotten to my goal weight! This was the best $400 I've ever spent. Stop complaining and get serious with yourselves!
I can't believe that LA Weight loss center in Evansville closed its doors!This center did not give their clients warning or a refund for products or services. This program worked for me and now I would like to know how to follow the program without LA bars. This is WRONG for this company to treat its clients this way and their employees too! Someone needs to hold them accountable for their actions!!!
This is the best program out there! I lost 45 pounds in about 8 months and love it! I am 68 years young and at this age, your metabolism is at a stand still. I love the fact that you are not eating processed food that is full of preservatives. That's just not a healthy thing for our bodies! My only complaint is that I absolutely cannot find a phone number for the corporate office in PA. Does anyone have it and could you email it to me? Gosh! I would really appreciate it.
I love LA Weightloss. I have lost 16 pounds in 23 weeks. I know the program works. you do not have to buy the bars or anything else. I love them!!!!!!!
I joined 3 weeks ago, i was losing weight ,, but since i switch to plan 3 , i didnt lose weight,,, i wasnt sure why???
I'm really concerned about the comments by some about developing kidney stones from taking the Lites and the supplements. Could someone verify this and comment on it please?
I loved LA Weight loss until they decided to shut down the center without any kind of warning. I had just paid for extra weeks using my care credit card and then all of a sudden I get a phone call from a former counselor stating that LA had shut its doors. So I went by there today to see if it was true and sure enough the doors were locked and the phone line disconnected later this afternoon. Luckily care credit took off the last transaction that I had made in the store. But what about all of the other individuals who have paid well beyond my $36? I wonder what's going to happen to them.
I joined LA Weightloss a few years ago and lost the weight I need. However, I didn't keep up with the lifestyle change and have gaine some of the weight back. I still have my old info and think I'll try it on my own. Does anyone know what you can replace the bars with? I think someone told me to add an extra protien, fruit and vegetable. But I can't remember. Has anyone out there used the plan without the bars to know?
I LOVE L.A. Weight Loss. I have been in the program almost 9 weeks. I'm not the speediest loser, but am down 7 inches overall and 6 pounds. I feel better and with a ton of energy. I eat my own food. They do not push their products. I'm in love with the bars. But if you don't want to do the bars you can substitute something else. I have great counselors and everyone has been terrific. If you feel like you've been pressured to buy food, then I'm surprised. The counselors at the Poway Centre couldn't be more helpful or supportive - regardless if you purchase their products or not.
im thinking about joining i've read everybody's comments i would like to see for my self
Does anyone know what you are supposed to do after the center closes? The counselor at my center said we could call the corporate office and that we would continue being monitored through the phone or website. Is this true, cuz I called and am waiting for a returned call. Message said within 48 hours.
LA Weightloss as other weight loss centres are a waste of money , i have learned the hard way and would not recommend anyone to do the same. Pushing bars and pills, and making you spend more money is not the way to help some one lose weight or give false hope. if you want to lose weight we all know what we need to do and that is change our lifestyle and diet. It is not a secret that these weight loss clinics are money making schemes.
