buy their food products and then you would lose weight, but only if you bought their food plan, and paid about 1 to 2k a year for the plan and food. Thats what the lawsuits and all the claims from last year are about.

Pure Weight Loss
Alternate Business Names' LA Weight Loss Centers
HARRISBURG - Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced the filing of a consumer protection lawsuit against Pure Weight Loss, a national chain of weight loss centers based in Horsham, Montgomery County, along with company owner Vahan Karian, also known as Vahan Karabajakian.
Corbett said the lawsuit was filed against the company, as well as Mr. Karian personally, alleging deceptive marketing and sales of long-term contracts for weight loss supplements, pre-packaged food and weight loss counseling services. According to the lawsuit, Mr. Karian, as President, sole owner and sole shareholder of the company, was a co-participant in this deception and shares a responsibility for consumer losses.
Corbett said that in December 2007 Pure Weight Loss suddenly announced plans to close approximately 400 stores across the country, including 47 locations in Pennsylvania. The closure of the chain resulted in more than 850 complaints from consumers who had prepaid as much as $2,000 for food products and services that were never delivered.
Corbett also noted that following the closure, the Pure Weight Loss website instructed consumers to contact other weight loss companies for "discounts" or other special offers - though none of those promotional offers constituted full reimbursement for the payments made by consumers.
Corbett said the Attorney General's Health Care Section is processing complaints from consumers across the country. Consumers living outside Pennsylvania are encouraged to file online complaints with the PA Attorney General's Office as well as their own state consumer protection agency.
So, check any state, LA Weight loss, or Pure Weight loss, is crooked, owes tons of money, filed bky, and closed all its stores earlier this week. Go trolling somewhere else.

Pure Weight Loss is different. Yes they did close almost a year ago. The owner is not the person you have listed in your post. The centers in San Antonio will be closing, however they are still open right now. Clients can still go to the centers. When was the last time you were there? I was there Friday. The girls gave me all the info. And yes I did just create an account. I did it because they need a client that will speak up on the good, not just the bad. Not everyone will have the results they want. It is based on the person not the program. It works. My question for everyone is this.... How can anyone make you spead money on something you do not want? It is much easier to place the blame on LA because you do not have to take responsiblity for your own actions. Thanks LA for changing my life.

Folks, this whole thread smacks of consumer complaints which we're going to avoid any further reference to by closing this thread.

This is not the right place for consumer complaints. Such posts present defamation issues and they don't give the other side the opportunity to present their side of the argument.
