I'm writing in response to a guide I read regarding LA Weightloss being a sham.  I am going to have to disagree.  Being on the program for 8 weeks now and losing 20 lbs and feeling so much more healthy than every before.  The girls at my center are salespeople of sorts.  But they were also overweight at one time and make the perfect sales people for this program.  All the counselors at my center have before pictures of themselves to prove it too. 

I feel they take the time to talk to you, listen to your challenges and successes.  I've never felt rushed or "pushed" into any sale with them.  I was ready to lose weight and live a more healthy lifestyle.  I don't feel they are anymore expensive than Nurtisystem which averages $10 per day.  I'm on the LA Weightloss for a maxium of 75 weeks at a cost of $412.00.  That is $5.49 per week + the cost of the LA Lites which I buy in a 5 week bulk of apx $20 per box.  So for $25.00 per week I'm feeling better, looking awesome and having a great time.  Now lets compare:  Nutrisystem which advertises $10 per day at 365 days a year that is $3,650.00 you spend on "their" food not your own in 1 year.  The most I will spend with LA Weightloss is $1875.00 in 75 weeks on my program cost and LA Lites.  Now of course their are supplements you can purchase and other snack items but that is purely your choice.  I've never felt obligated to buy any of their vitamins or suppliments.  I have bought several to try and have gotten results from all.  But again all purchases over and above the bars were "MY CHOICE". 

I am an advocate of this program as I've tried just about every diet program out there, such as Weight Watchers, Metabolife, Slimfast etc.  You name it I've tried it.  You learn to cook in different ways, eat healthier and no counting points (whew).  It is no longer a hassle to eat.  Just eat what you are alloted and that's all.  No more looking at nutritional labels except to watch sodium counts.  No more adding up points and starving all the time.  I have pizza, I drink alcohol occasionally and have cheese and crackers.  I really don't feel like I've given up anything except a shorter life span due to unhealthy eating. 

I hope this testimony encourages all that struggle with their weight to try this program.  Oh, and my girls encourage going on Ebay to find anything at a cheaper price.

Thank you!
