   Update on the San Diego LATO (Corporate owned take over centers) in the San Diego Market:

   It looks like corporate is starting to shut down the San Diego market as well now. 3 Centers just closed the doors recently, and the centers in Chula Vista, El Cajon are rumored to be closing soon as well. That will leave only the Mission Vally, Poway and Oceaside locations open and only 3 out of the original 9 that were in operation (La Jolla was closed quite some time ago). in the San Diego area.

   Poway is closing. They’re referring people to either Oceanside, Mission Valley or to the online service.

   Poway (San Diego) center closes at the end of the week. They’re referring everyone to either Oceanside (70 miles roundtrip), Mission Valley (40 miles roundtrip) or to L.A. Weight Loss online.

   I went to my center today in Gastonia NC which is just outside of Charlotte. They are now closing on Tuesday and Thursday. They are going to open two hours earlier on all other days..they called this their “Fall” hours. I see this as a bad sign!

   I rejoined La weight Loss Center because it helped me lose weight the first time I went. I had paid for all of my la lites up front. When I quit going the first time I still had 150 boxs left. I stopped going only because my mother passed away and I was having a bad time. I decided to rejoin because I had already paid for the lites and it did work. I paid another $562.17 to rejoin. This included some supplements but it was mostly for the program and maintanence. I was only able to use them for 6 weeks when they closed the doors in Colorado. I do not blame the employees. I have worked for companys before that have closed there doors and the employees are screwed too… What I have a problem with is the company knowing they are closing there doors and taking money still and nothing is being done about it. I am contesting the cost with my credit card and I might be one of the lucky ones and not lose to much money, but something needs to be done about this.

    215-364-0400 Not sure if this will help anyone or not, but here is the DIRECT line phone number for the offices of Harold Katz, owner of LA Weight Loss Franchise Company Inc, the the top guy of all LA operations WORLDWIDE!!, hiding under the guise of http://www.katzgroup.com. Go to that website for his address as well. It’s very interesting if you read the profile if Mr Katz - no mention that he owns and operates the LA Weight Loss Franchise Co Inc. I wonder why? - to try hiding from all of his angry customers, on his way to a new venture? with OUR money?? But the assests page does list Katz Group owning 100% of LA Weight Loss Franchise. Look him up online, started Nutri/System, built it up to a half billion dollar company, ran it into the ground, sold it, then started LA Weight Loss, with partner Vahan Karian, who split with Katz a few years back, then went BK with Pure Weight Loss last year (formally LA Weight Loss Centers Inc.) This phone number also reaches Brian Siegel, General Counsel, VP LA Weight Loss Franchise, and Mr Katz’s personal attorney for over 30 years. He might be a good guy to contact to try and get out money back before they BK like Pure did and we all get nothing (slim chance anyway, but it will at least make you feel better. This # is direct to their office! Might not get you anywhere, but it might make you feel better to complain a bit! Good Luck.

    Latest Of LA Weightloss: Oceanside center is closing as well. It is so hard to believe that they are all closing. This program has been my life saver and now it’s gone. I called in to get my file and they are not allowed to give them out as they are property of LA Weightloss. I thank all employees at the Escondido branch for all their help and support. I lost 40lbs and have 44 more to go.
