I originally went with a GROUPON. During that first meeting I was highly pressured by the "counselor" Jaime Romantic to extend the deal from GROUPON and sign a contract for an extended period of time. (Later I realized that I was never provided with the services from the GROUPON itself.) We went right into the contract. STUPID ME!
The contract was $109.00 for 19 months. Why was I so stupid? It began on 3/14/13 and was to end on 10/15/14. Initially, I had to pay a $202.00 fee.
So, I'm stupid, I realize. The stupidity didn't stop. Not only was their no support; the only thing they provided was to come in 2 x's a week to get weighed in and they provided me with a small shot of B12 and gave me vitamins to take daily. THAT'S IT FOLKS! NOTHING MORE THAN BEING WEIGHED IN, WHAT DID YOU EAT, TRY HARDER NEXT TIME AND HERE'S A LITTLE SHOT OF B12 AND YOUR VITAMINS. No suggestions on what to eat, what I was doing wrong, etc. So, I stopped going and stopped paying last August.
Now, here I am, with a debt of $1,700.00 that is in collection. I just made payment arrangements to pay off the debt but I am not happy about it. HOwever, they've trashed my credit and in order to improve that, I need to pay off the debt. STUPID ME!!
RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ANY GROUPONS, LIVING SOCIAL, ETC., WHERE PHYSICIAN WEIGHT LOSS IS CONSIDERED.............DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! IT'S A SCAM.....A TOTAL SCAM. Go to Weight Watchers or simply push yourself away from the table. That's my suggestion.
STAY AWAY FROM PHYSICIAN WEIGHT LOSS CENTERS!
