I currently go to LA Weight Loss here in Charlotte, NC. I am not sure if this particular branch is corporately owned or not but I will find out tomorrow and submit an update.

It was because of this site that I learned of closings and then further looked into the situation at hand. What an ugly picture this has turn out to be.

I've had a few mishaps with the center I am currently waltzing into 3 days a week. Sadly, few know much about nutrition here and they operate much like a robot, scripted on que. Don't blame them, it was a sales position not a nutritional counselor job applied for on career builder. Keep that in mind. Remember, if you can't help, don't hurt. I learned not to take it out on the counselors because they are just as deceived as the clients are in most cases but not all. However, to those who know what is truly going on and still work there, I have absolutely no respect for you whatsoever. Money is the root of all evil. Greed is currently winning this race but it won't stand up in the long haul. The universe is watching! To sum up my experience would be to pay attention to what is said to you. There's truth in lies.

I was browsing tonight and thought to go to the BBB. I am not sure when this information was submitted but it's there for all to see! and I quote,
"A company spokesman has informed the Bureau that all corporately owned locations will close effective 1/4/2008. Consumers may pick up refund applications and LA Lites orders at any location. Consumers who need additional information may call customer service at:

877-524-3571

or email: custservice@pureweightloss.com

I have been reading prior postings that Pure Weight Loss and LA Weight Loss are two different companies. To set the record straight for those who either don't do their homework or make a hobby out of guessing, this BBB report "clearly" states that, "This Business Operates under the Names: LA Weight Loss Centers and Pure Weight Loss". These are mere wings of truth to set you free of distorted perceptions you harbor in your mind.

Here you will find the url for the BBB on this company.
.dc.bbb.org/report.html?national=Y&compid=23001399

If the above link happens to not show up for one reason or another, simply type in bbb.org. You will find all the necessary information you need to better assist you in your next plan of action. As consumers, it will be our voice that will matter to Attorney Generals and the news media. Don't be afraid to stand up for your rights and in standing up, you will also be the voice for many. It's in our hands to seek justice. The time is now so act accordingly. The clock is ticking as is universal justice swiftly at work.

I trust this information will hold value to those of you who are on a mission. Uphold the obligation you have to yourself - BE TRUE!

Sincerely,

The truth shall set you free and
remember in all lies are some truth, too.

LA Weight Loss Charlotte, NC

AUTHOR: Consumer advocate - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, December 30, 2007

I was told that the LA Weight Loss "name" and certain stores currently in operation in North and South Carolina was purchased by a Rick Rex. These are franchised and will not close on 1-4-08. This is what I was told by a manager.

Due to my limited time and resources, I wasn't able to find the owner of any of the LA Weight Loss stores in NC and even the name Rick Rex. I believe she said co-owner so perhaps his name isn't shown first. I am not sure. If I have time, I'll fire a call to my sister who works for the state of GA and she can give me the proper routes to take in obtaining this information. I will only expend my time doing so if come Jan 4th the doors are closed.

I was also told that Mr. Rex is a Christian man.

I am not sure why anyone would want to be affiliated with a company, let alone be an owner of the name LA Weight Loss in NC/SC, who has a smeared reputation. It baffles me due to the fact I was told this man is a Christian. To give him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he purchased the "name" prior to the realization of the blantantly deceptive practices and the story that ran on 20/20 in Feb of 2007. Either way, guilty by association still applies.

For the sake of those who currently have paid and are clients in the said mentioned stores in NC/SC, I trust this issue can be laid to rest on 1-04-08. I just want to lose this remaining weight and take this experience with me. A lesson learned.

For those who known their store is closing because it's corporately owned, I hope you get all your money back and the purchased product. I just feel this is going to be all over the news in January. Embrace yourself.
