La Weight Loss.....Many Caring Counselors

Whether you are trying to lose weight or find that perfect dress....the service you receive from the employee is never the same. Some people are good at their job while others are only there to collect their paycheck. They don't care about the service they render.

I have had over 60 comments left on the LA Weight Loss Closing post I made. Many are from irate customers. There are also many comments from LA Weight Loss counselors who really cared about their customers.

Check out the comments here. Many of the counselors left instructions on how to continue with the program. There are also counselors still willing to help clients on their own.

Don't give up on your weight loss program because La Weight Loss Centers closed. Continue the commitment you have made to yourself and you will continue to lose weight. Watch the scale go down as you climb the ladder of weight loss success.

Weight Loss Motivation Using A Pedometer

How much do we weigh....how much weight do we need to lose? Our society is all about numbers. Seeing things in black and white gives us something to gage our success/failure. A recent study done by Stanford University, shows using a pedometer will make people walk more. People increase their steps by about 2,000 steps per day according to Dr Dena Bravata, a research scientist at Stanford. In turn, more exercise will lead to increased weight loss.

The American Medical Association did an analysis of 26 studies concluding that using a pedometer is a motivator in increasing physical acivity. They found the more sedetary a person is, the more effective a pedometer is in motivating her/him.

My favorite pedometer is the Omron JH-112. I've been using this one for about couple of years. It has a 7 day memory and is easy to use. They are reasonable priced and can be purchased at most local retail stores.

Many things can help motivate you on your weight loss journey. A pedometer is just one of them. Give it a try. (Remember to keep track of your steps in a journal so you can measue your weight loss success.)

No New Years Resolutions...Reflections & Anticipations

Every year I ring in the new year, I am close to celebrating another birthday. Eight more days and I add another digit. I'm going to be 57 years old.

As I sit and reflect on the past years, an array of events have been swirling through my head. I think about the joys, and sorrows experienced by family, friends, and nations during the past year. I reflect on the things I have done/not done to make things better.

I am an optomist and look forward to the new year. For me, the new year is all about, strengthening family ties....making new friends..... experiencing new adventures and helping people in my community. I don't call these my new year resolutions. They are my plans to my little part of the world a better place to live.

Life........I love it!!!!

Weight Loss Competition....How Well Does It Work?

I think most people are competitive at some level. I believe a person's competitive spirit can be a motivating factor. It can be applied to all area's in a person's life. Today, I'm focusing on the success of competition in a weight loss program.

There are many ways in which a person can compete in their own weight loss journey. A few weight loss competitive methods are:
1. Self vs. family member/friend
2. One group vs. another group (neighborhood/gym)
3. Self vs. online friend/group
4. Self vs. me (do better than the previous week/month)


If you decide to try one of these on your weight loss journey, document your day. It makes it so much easier to see how and why you succeeded/failed when it is down in black and white.

A new competative weight loss site just popped up. Two brothers are competing against each other to lose weight/body fat. I'm going to track their success. You can check their site out here.

Pure Weight Loss Centers.....Are They All Closing?

In the past few days, I've had a lot of comments left regarding the closings of Pure Weight Loss Centers on a previous article I wrote. It appears many are closing effective January 4, 2008.

With so many people making New Year's Resolutions to lose weight, I would have thought business would have picked up in January.

I went to the Pure Weight Loss Center website. When I tried to talk with someone, I kept getting, "All circuits are busy now. Try your call later." I then decided to try the choice that asking you if you're interesting in joining. Like magic...I got through. I called 1-800-331-4035. They must be able to monitor where the calls come from as this girl immediately told me she had two Pure Weight Loss centers in Memphis and one in Southhaven, TN. Since I live two hours from either of those towns, I asked her about a center in Jackson, TN. The phone number for that Pure Weight Loss Center is 1-731-661-9002. (Today 01/03/08, I checked and the website no longer exists.)
I called the office located in Jackson, TN and asked her if that center was closing down. She told me no!! She stated it was the CORPORATE Pure Weight Loss Centers that were closing. All the FRANCHISE Pure Weight Loss Centers are still going to be in operation.

Maybe if you call the 1-800-331-4035, they can direct you to a Pure Weight Loss Center which is a franchise in your area. Since each of them are independently owned, I'm sure the answers will vary somewhat with each business.
