I am currently on LA weightloss as well as counting calories. My journals and food logs might differ somewhat from the normal calorie-counters here. I eat LA weightloss bars twice a day (they are 190 calories each. I started off in November, 2004 at 183-184 pounds, barely fitting into size 18-20 pants. I lost 35 pounds just doing LA Weightloss. I fell off the bandwagon with them when I had a number of family and health tragedies (not that it excuses it). I gained another 20 pounds back :-( in 7 months. I was then trying to squeeze into 13-14 pants. I started calorie counting and went back to LA Weightloss Last month. I re-started at 169.7, and I am now back down to 159. I can fit into 11-12 comfortably (depending on the brand). I think that these two weight-loss programs complement each other and that LA weightloss could learn a lot from everyone here. The forums for support could really help them. They also do not stress exercise anywhere near what they should (I have not heard a single counselor reccomend exercise when I was plateauing). However, this website cannot offer the support that most people need that is provided by mandatory weigh-ins three times a week. It also helps some people stay on track when they know that they paid A LOT of money for it.

UPDATE: Yay! I'm down to 148. I have now lost 36 pounds, only 30 to go! Well, maybe. I have not decided whether or not to get to 118. I don't know if I will be comfortable there. But I am down a total of 36 pounds! Yee-haw!

UPDATE:  Starting over as of 4/3/2007
