Start Weight:	(30 Apr 07) 298.0 lb
Current Weight:	(19 Nov 08) 259.4 lb
Goal Weight:	199.0 lb

following: LA Weight Loss
performance: losing 3.9 lb a week

July 2008 - Plugging along very slowly for a total of 70 pounds lost on LAWL, and 86.4 from my highest recorded weight. Although the weight is coming off very slowly I am building and maintaining muscle and have actually lost more body fat percentage in the last few months. Things are shifting around and I feel great and get lots of compliments. Down from a almost size 4X to a almost 16!!!

May 2008 - Down 68 pounds since the start of LAWL, 84 pounds from my highest recorded weight. I want to reach one hundred!!!
Picture is from Easter 2008 - hopefully I can post a new one soon.

February 2008 - One year of LAWL - 60.6 pounds down, 28.5 inches lost and a total of 75 pounds lighter since my heighest weight!

I started on February 13, 2007 (yes I am a glutton for punishment - the day before Valentine's). I weighed in at 320.6. Before then I had weighed 337 pounds (according to my doctor's chart). That means that I have lost 75 pounds since I was at my heaviest. Losing weight has made a huge difference in my outlook. I feel physically so much better. Looking forward to losing the next 75 pounds!

LAWL Spokesperson???
I found out shortly after I joined in Feb 2007 that they were having serious business practice problems. So I was just hoping they would not fold on me. I refused to buy their products and received very little support the longer I was attending. I have less than two months left and I have already told them I won't renew with them....which surprisingly they did not care about at all. I just know that the center I go to is supposedly the most successfull in the region, but I sure cannot tell. They too limited the hours and I am wondering if it is just a matter of time. I think this program works well for people that do not have a ton of weight to lose......but for us that have way more to lose, like over 100 pounds, this is not a permanent fix. I will explore other options to continue my healthier life style and hopefully find something that will help me lose more weight.

LAWL Spokesperson???
My center has the same hours it seems. I have only eight weeks left with them and they are not even making any sales pitches with me. Well I am glad it has worked for you, but it has not worked at all for me these past eight or so months and I am very discouraged. I told them I am not re-upping. Wow about you aunt......those are the best kind of reactions. I still get tons of compliments and am thrilled that I am 75 lbs down from my highest recorded weight........

Switching weight loss plans
Would be interested in hearing about people switching weight loss plans and their success. My contract with LA Weight Loss is almost up and I am not planning to renew with them. Any comments would be welcome.

LAWL Spokesperson???
I 'm with ya. They have not cared how I am doing for at least six months now.........I guess I learned my lesson, I will never ever again pay that much money up front. My center staff is like a revolving door. I don't think anyone is still there from when I started 20 months ago. There is very little traffic and they have reduced their hours. I have nine more weeks left and I am not re-upping. Thinking bout what I can do next so that I can start losing some weight again. I am glad you did so well though. You are an inspiration to all of us.
