LA Weight Loss

[slick]

Has anyone every joined up??? What are your thoughts about them??

I've been promised that I can reach my goal weight in 40 weeks and it will only cost me $840. This really does seem extreme and all I get for that is a meal plan and some moral support with my 3x week visits.

Sorry, I have never used them or any others.

But . . . maybe this may mean something to you. My doctor says only use Weight Watchers. My insurance co says only use Weight Watchers. The nurse at the senior center, where my Dad goes, says only use Weight Watchers. The folks at the YMCA where I used to belong, said only use Weight Watchers If you consider the source, maybe this will help you decide.

No way. Stuff like this is BOGUS. My grandma was in the hospital for MONTHS after going on something like this.

Losing weight fast attracts people ~ but it is NOT healthy and you will put all of that weight back on even faster than it originally came.

Go with Weight Watchers or Curves. EXCERSISE and eating food in MODERATION is key.

There was recently an big expose about LA Weight Loss on CTV. I didn't watch the story but I'm sure it will be on their website. Maybe check that out before you join?

Best of luck!

First of all, GOOD JOB on wanting to look after your health, and looking into ways to do it! Like you haven't been thru enough!


Did you know...


"diet" comes from a Greek word meaning "way of life"?

I am back on my nutrition program...because it will be a way of life.

I am more interested in developing a way of life rather than going "on" something that "stops" one day. Unless I keep paying for it.

I got to my goal weight (where it felt good for ME, not some arbitrary chart). Then I just modified my way of doing things.

I think the question to ask is what do you do when you get to goal weight?

I like the title of Suzanne Powter's long-ago book which I think answers the health and weight question perfectly:

EAT, BREATHE and MOVE.

Being an addictive type, I have to be careful not to look for the answers in food - how I use, eat, manipulate. This is just me, ok? It's like when I used to look for the answer in booze...there was SO much more to it than that.

like Breathing and Moving.

Still working on the last one!

Alexa tried them out once and hated it. The diet plan was VERY limiting, and each time she went in they were rude to her if she didn't lose enough weight. After about 2 weeks she gave up.

I really love weight watchers. I lost around 50 lbs on the program, and the great thing is that it isn't a "diet" it taught me how to make good food choices. I've kept the weight off because it taught me how to properly portion my food and just make smarter choices.
