LA WEIGHT LOSS?? Anyone

Rica · Kenneth Cole

Some girls at our main office are doing LAWL. I hadn't seen this one girl in about 4 months and my jaw dropped when I ran into her last week. I was completely and sincerely shocked. She looks FABULOUS. She said she dropped about 40lbs in just under three months and is super happy with the program. The other girls have lost around 20lbs each and look wonderful, too. I've heard nothing but good things about LAWL so if I were you, I'd definitely check it out. Good luck!

whats LA WL??????

A friend of my mom's tried it and she lost weight on it but then it just started getting expensive and time consuming (I think it all caught up to her) so she got off of it and is doing something else.

Metric · Gucci

I have heard their commercials and wondered about it. What is it exactly? Food like Jenny Craig or a diet plan like Weight Watchers?

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I'll ask my mom tomorrow but I think that was the "raw diet" that our friend was on where she didn't eat anything processed or in a can. Everything had to be fresh. I'll check for sure and post in the morning what that diet was but I think this is correct.

Ok I talked with my mom and she did say that her friend is on it still (I thought she quit) and it is the only program that has been able to discipline her eating habits. Her only complaints is that it gets expensive with the meetings and the eating only fresh or "raw" foods and she is never able to go out to eat at all! Otherwise it has helped her lose weight and she's happy about that.

So, what is their program? Is it like WW? I went on their website, but I couldn't really tell what they were all about.

mikacat · Coach

the first three days are detox--

i am eating lunch right now and having homemade salsa, a salad, cooked shrimp and raw veges dipped in low fat dressing and a hard boiled egg--(yuck--not an egg person) Actually, i am just dipping everything in the dressing.

for bfast--i had a bfast steak and tea

you also drink some juice that makes you pee a lot to cleanse your system.

it is supposed to boast your metabolism which is what i need, my biggest complaints are being tired and low metabolism.

you have to go three times a week.

yesterday they weighed me, measured everything, blood pressure, body fat, etc. and a med history.

beachgirl · Kenneth Cole

If you don't mind, I have some more questions...do they provide the food...or do you just get what they tell you to from the grocery store.

And also, how much is it? I couldn't find that info on their site either...I guess they're trying to get you to come in, but I'd rather know upfront!

Chic · Marc Jacobs

this is what my boss is on.....i finally figured it out.

sorry guys but she has been doing it for a while and I haven't noticed anything except all the eggs....and the smell....not from the eggs...what happens when you eat to many!

shopgirl82 · Chanel

i know a lady that lost 40 lbs on it. she was explaining that you can't eat certain food combos. like no corn with mashed potatoes, etc...that's about all i know about it.

mz.shanzie · Kenneth Cole

I just had a consoltation there yesterday...........$595!!!!!!!!!!!! That is for three years, but that it the ONLY payment option. You have to pay in full, no mo payment plans available. Sorry but I could buy two months of a personal trainer for that!!! I was su bummed it seemed like a good program, and there is no RAW food, just regular grocery store food.

I laugh every time I think of LAWL. I have no idea if it works or not but a good friend of mine decided she needed to lose weight (she maybe needed to lose 10-15 pounds - nothing cutting out the fast food wouldn't have cured), and she went to LA. She paid a huge amount of money, was completely miserable, and gained about 20 pounds. Of course this is the only girl I know who, once she starts a diet, gains vast amounts of weight. She's hilarious.

Same exact thing happened with my little sis and LAWL. She ended up doing good old fashioned free excersise and cutting out suger and that worked miracels for her.
