L A HELPED ME TO LIGHTEN UP AND ALSO LIGHTNED MY POCKET BOOK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRANCHISE WOULD NOT HONOR MY LITE BARS ANY LONGER BECAUSE I HAD PURCHASED THEM IN AUG OF 2007, I STILL HAVE 40+ BOXES COMING TO ME. I WOULD LIKE A REIMBURSEMENT IF I CAN NOT GET THE BARS.

I would like for someone with the LA Weight Loss Corp. to contact me concerning reimbursment of money and supplies. I paid a year in advance,purchased the bars for a year.
This complete robbery if they don’t step up to the plate and start contacting members to discuss. Where is the NC Attorney General and who is looking into this?

I just wanted to let you know that i was a la weight loss employee for 10 years in cookeville tn. our owners turned us over to lato and they did not tell us for 2 weeks what would be happening and was very short with there answers. As it turned out they lowered managers pay and i was one and my councelor decided not to except there offer. I found out this evening from a employed friend that they are closing the nashville market in october . I feel extremely bad for all employees and the clients and how it all gets done and that is the main reason i could not stick it out. I loved my job and all the clients that i helped and the friends i made a long my journey with la weight loss. I pray for the best to all that is still with them and to all the clients .I very much believe that they had a great program but the way they have chose to do business was wrong and when you dont handle things the correct way it bites you know where… love to all

Just wanted to post a note and let every client know that if your in a closed market, either one that was franchised owned or one of the corporate owned take over centers, and you call the corporate office in Horsham, PA: if they try to tell you they do not know how much you had bulked or what you balance is in pre-paid product because they do not have your records, it’s a bald faced lie.

Almost every center in the country used a point of sale system that Corporate provided to every store called SlimPOS to track all customer information and sales. This program contacted the corporate servers everynight and updated all information and transactions, including every client record, weigh in, bulk products balance, etc… They have a database record of every client in the country (millions of them) and know exactly what you were owed when your center closed (unless the center failed to update there records properly, which does happen from time to time, but Corporate has audit controls in place to catch this to ensure all clients and revenues are being properly reported to them for the revenue share that is due monthly). Hope this helps – pass this along to anybody who might be interested.

I had been going to the center in Sherman, Texas for over a year. The management changed in the spring and I thought it was trouble then. Most of the people working there left. Everyone except the one lady who belittled everyone and made customers feel bad walking in the door. Soon our miss personality was named acting manager, so I started going only once per week. Why go in on a regular basis to get beat up.

Anyway, I was out of town for a few weeks in June and when I came back our center was GONE. No calls, no notice, nothing. I had lots of product paid for, but not received.

I have tried to reach corporate, they quickly sent an e-mail that they would send 12 boxes of lites of my choice, they showed that was my credit. When I asked what about the other product, they did not have my file or my information. I am very upset, I had several months paid for. Close to $600 in product and can not find anyone who will honor the debt to me or give me any straight answers.

I felt like the program was decent and it was helping me, but this is nuts.
Does anyone one have any suggestions on how to get my product or money back?
