I'm from Minneapolis and I've been overweight my entire life (10lbs. 4oz. at birth). I played High School football at 315 (6'5") and then gained weight in college. I've never been heavier than when I started LA Weight Loss on 11/1/07 (365). I want to be around to watch my daughter grow up and to grow old with my wife!

I feel your pain kschaeffer, but you can do it. The centers were nice, they provided accountability which you can't get unless you're looking someone in the eye. However, there are people around you everyday that want you to succeed. Not to mention the people on this site.

I too have had a bit of retaliation eating but you gotta get over it. Don't ignore it when your pants are snug and your belt notch is different one day. Use those changes as inspiration to get back on your feet and do it.

As you know based on your current success, it's much easier to sit on the couch and eat a bowl of Frosted Flakes than it is to exercise and eat right.

Your mad period is over, don't fall off the wagon, time to move on and do what you did to lose your first 30 pounds.

The food conversion booklet is the book they give you when you've been on the plan for about 6 weeks. It's an expanded version of the one they give you when you first start but with more choices. It includes a section in the back with many restaurant chains and how to count items like Egg McMuffins. It's the standard info they give a client, I havent consulted one in months because I've become so used to knowing how to count things. My goal is to hand them out to people who want to do what I did. I'll set them up just like I'm a LAWL councelor and send them on their way.

My Center Director told me that if a client want to lose 30-50 pounds, they'd put them on plan 3, 50+ plan 4, and plan 5 for 80 or more.

I've got Plan 3 and 4 booklets and I started on plan 5 so I remember it well.

I'm going to start spreading the free LAWL cheer wherever I can. I'd send them more business if they were still open. The plan works, so I'll tell people about it for free.

Like Robin Hood on a scale!!!

It's official...My center in Eagan, MN is closing on 12/12. The director said that most of the smaller locations in Minnesota and WI are closing next week and the larger centers will stay open for two more weeks after that. My director said that last week, the area manager walked into the center and told everyone but the director to pack up their things and go. Brutal.

I was able to get a stack of meal plan diaries and food conversion booklets before they were gone. I told her that I plan to tell others how the plan works so I can get them started.

She also told me about the "On the Go" plan which is a horrible way to say they're still in business.

What really stinks is that this thing works! Look at us! We're proof! I know I'll miss the center and I can't see myself ballooning up, but now this wonderful program which absolutely changed my life and added 10's of years to my life is gone. I can't spread the word, I can't direct people to the place that changed my world, and it sucks.

Now it looks like just another "Fly By Night" scam that didn't work.

The truth is, it did work, but in today's world, people are cutting back. So they ignore a program like this, and buy $1 double cheeseburgers because they're cheaper.

I went to my center in Eagan, MN last Thursday and the lights were out. Sign on the door said "New hours, Closed Tues and Thurs". I guarantee my center is about to close up shop.

Sucks because it really works. Mom2, stick with it, get your plan and your products and work it yourself. It really does work.

Look at me, I saw my aunt this weekend for the first time since March and she started crying.
