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.

Tried it, lost nothing except tons of money, counsellors are rude and extremely pushy, you have to go way too often in person.
joined 11 weeks ago, have lost 4 pounds, big deal! have followed the program to the letter, ate their expensive bars, and had i done this on my own terms would have been down 20 or more lbs,
I have been on the LA weight loss plan now for 2 weeks. So far I've lost about 3.5 pounds. Yes, it is expensive, this I knew, but it's the accountability of knowing that I have to go in twice a week for a weigh in that works for me. I want to succeed this time! I've tried so many other diets and have failed. I really do think that this program will work for me, I am determined! (I'm not too thrilled about the LA lites bars though. I'd much rather eat regular food in place of the calories in those!)
This program really does work,but you must be committed. It is also very costly. I lost 117 pounds on this program,but gained 45 back during the maintenance and stabilization stage. That was due to not continuing to use the fat burners etc. of the pills that they use in order for you to lose the weight.So I continue to add on to the weight gain due to them closing in January. They want you to join other weight loss clinic, but due to the distrust I'm going at it alone!! Results are working.
I have been a member since 2005 I have lost over 75 lbs I have 5 boxes of lites comeing to be that I paid for up front , WHERE DO I GET MY $$$$
i joined LA almost 3 months ago along with my momther.i have last 12 lb not much and my mother has been discur
I joined LA and was very successful. I easily lost 30 lbs and kept it off for over a year. I have a couple of complaints. First they are VERY expensive, and second and most important...we moved in the middle of my maintenance. As this same time the LA office I was changed to Pure Weightloss. When we moved, the local LA would not take me. They wanted me to start all over again. I clearly did not need to loose any more weight, but they insisted that I needed to pay the start up fees, etc. and start all over. It has now been 9 months since we moved, and I have gained ALL my weight back. I am sooooo depressed and frustrated at myself. I don't know if I can trust any weighloss center again...
I do agree that if you stay on the plan and use it correctly you will loose weight. I lost 25 lbs in about 3 months on the plan. The reason why I stopped going was because the couseler that I liked was fired and she was the only one that I felt comfortable with. All of the other counselers were obviously looking to get me to spend more and more money. When I said I did not want the bars they did not take it kindly and they were rude after that. As a matter of fact when I would come in and I did not loose as much weight at they had projected for that week they were very impatient and visably upset with me. This made me very uncomfortable. This was my experience. In closing I would like to say that It is obvious that they are working on comission because of how they preassure you to buy the bars. And mind you I lost weight without them.
I currently am an employee of LA Weight Loss and have been for 2 1/2 years. I just want to let everyone out there know that the program really does work, but you DON'T have to do the bars or supplements. In fact, you can lose just fine without all of that. I am quitting the place soon b/c we too are probably closing. The program can be expensive when it's not on sale, but Jenny Craig is more expensive and I think weight watchers is about the same except you don't have to pay up front. The bad thing about LA Weight Loss is that they do not care about their employees. I DO care about my clients and become very close to them. yes, we make commission but trust me...it's not a lot. For example, I make 1% off of the total revenue of the store. So we are currently averaging $3,000 a week. Business is really down. So that is $30 extra that I make plus my hourly of $10.00/hr. They cut our hours down too b/c we aren't pulling enough revenue! So it's not great pay for what we have to do. It's a tough job to listen to women all day long and try to find answers for them about why they aren't losing. Trust me I have lost 30lbs with the program w/o doing bars or supps. I did it in 4months. The program does go by your ht and wt to put you on a certain plan. but the corporate people dont care about the clients they only care about the sales, which is why it is hard for the employees b/c we are pressured to push sales so much. I quit selling so hard even though it hurts my paycheck. I would rather my clients like me and listen to me than hate seeing me b/c they feel the need to buy something. So if you're going to do LAWL, remember it does work, but you do not have to do any product to lose. Although i do like a lot of the products...don't feel like you HAVE to do them.
I joined LA Weigh Loss about 3 1/2 weeks ago. So far, I have lost 6 lbs. I like that the plan has me thinking about what I eat, and portion size. I do have to say that I feel a lot better in these 3 weeks than I have in the past 3 years. I am concerned, however, about the possibility of the centers closing down. Is it just the Pure Weight loss centers, or is it also LA Weight loss?
Ok, so i joined la weightloss, and i lost 20 lbs. in the first month, and 40 by 3 1/2 months and finaly i reached my goal weight and lost 92 lbs right under 7 months! the program is def. worth it. now, i'll say this, my mom joined weight watchers 2 years ago and has only lost some 40 lbs. since then and shes an avid calorie counter. it only took me all of 7 months to lose more than double that... she choose weight watchers cause it was cheaper...but if you add in all that time, $15 a week...for 2 years...you do the math. i spent $1500 for the over all program, and maybe another $500 later. all together $2000. its actually cheaper compared to jenny craige and even weight watchers...it only looks more expensive because you pay all of it up front. its actually genius if you think about it, it makes people commit to it financially so they wont quit even if they want to...i love it. i'd def. recommend it to anyone.
I joined LA 4 years ago. Lost 120 pounds. Had great support. Loved it. It became difficult to weigh in 3 times a week, the staff changed and it wasn't as much fun. Still, I had the success and will probably continue to go until I reach goal. Having someone to talk to and discuss your food choices is important. It helps you see where you are successful and where you need to work. Talking about trouble spots helps you fix them and hopefully change habits for life.
I love this Gym! It has truly changed my whole routine. Its funny that I goto a LA Weight Loss outside of california!
I currently belong to another gym and don't want to break my contract if this gym really isn't all worth it. Anyone have a really good case?
Ditch your gym..... come on over!! I'm really happy with my results..... I feel like I'm doing it on my time and making my goal. They give alot of support and the plan is easy enough to follow. It doesn't have to be as expensive as some say it is.... you just don't have to buy there food.
La Weight Loss rocks!!!! I'm so happy with this place and glad my friends sent me there. It makes something that usually sucks actually pretty fun. Trying to lose weight now doesn't feel like a chore and I'm excited to hit the gym !
I hated LA Weight Loss! I had no luck- neither have several people i've talked to
Too many people confuse LA weight loss with LA Fitness. LA Fitness is the gym. No relation to LA Weight loss which is a diet plan.
I always thought that LA fitness and LA weightloss was the same thing?
does anyone have story about LA Weight Loss Center (not the gym) I'm thinking of joining
