Sooooo…. Yeah

I already cancelled my LA Weight Loss gig. I know, it’s hopeless. I’m just going to get as fat as is humanly possilble.

Here’s the deal. They get you in there and weigh you and measure you and make you think, “oh damn. How did I get here?” Then, they tell you how much it’ll be and you pay up front for a year of services. It’s different for everyone and it goes by how much you need to lose. So, basically $5/week at 2 pounds per week and a $150 admin fee. My total was $838.00. I had to put $200 down and then pay the rest out in 8 weeks. Here’s the clincher. They don’t give you the diet right then. You come back in three days (the exact amount of time that has to pass and you can’t cancel your contract) and they give you your diet plan that has been designed by a “nutritionist”. I found the plan online yesterday and it is basically Atkins. I have never been able to follow that plan. Hello, I don’t eat vegetables. Another thing that got me was I would have to go meet with them in person three times a week. How am I supposed to find time to do that and work out? But! According to them, you don’t need to workout. In fact, working out will slow down your weight loss! Right. Only because muscle weighs more than fat and you won’t see pounds lost but you would see a decrease in body fat percentage and inches. So, I don’t think its a good plan at all. I cancelled and do not plan to look back.

So, back to the Dawn plan that I did last year. It’s slow to work, but it’s healthy and free for me.

  3. Oh, girl. I’m sorry to hear that it didn’t work out with them. First of all, though, that’s waaaay too much $ for them to ask you for. Also, the not working out thing? Would make me run the other way! They should have people doing cardio out the azzzz. Anyway. I wish we could take cardio classes again together like we did before my wedding. I had so much fun suffering with you. :d
