Besides Keejan at SS2, any other options? For classes and tuning of chinese classical music equipment?

Slimming Centre-My DeBeauty Bodyline & Slimming

I know this is a long post but anyone completating of going to a slimming centre should take the time to read it. Afterall, I took the time and effort to get this post out so you can keep your cash, hopes, efforts, etc deposited at the right place - with you!

I want to share my "slimming centre" experience with you guys coz I wished I had known!

I went to this slimming centre located at Taipan Senawang, Seremban ONLY coz they advertised a GUARANTEED weight loss of 10kgs and above. Basically, they get you to sign a package that's worth rm1,300 for 51 sessions... but "overstupidous" me went and signed up for the rm2,000 which is 100 sessions cos I thought what the hell, I have got lots of weight to lose... about 40kgs to be exact. I thought I was getting a good, no GREAT, deal cos of the 10kgs guaranteed weight loss. See their adv. at http://www.cityexplorer.com.my/cityexplore...eef7f617b2e06d0 AND PLEASE READ THEIR PLEDGE OF GUARANTEE

So I signed up. Before I signed up, I asked if I need to buy any products, they said no need... all provided for. Religiously, I went every alternate days without fail since two weeks ago. Of course, they push products for me to buy. When I started, I weighed 210 lbs. Today, after two weeks, I still weighed 210 lbs. Imagine, my SHOCK when the girl told me so far I have lost a total of 2.4 kgs. ??????????????? What's that??? So very slowly it began to sink it... I discovered their dirty and deceitful strategy of their so call guaranteed weight loss.

This is what they do.... first when u come in, they take your weight... then they start the sessions... for eg. today the sessions was like this: half hour machine sit-ups counted as 1 session, just rubbing sea-salt which took 20 seconds is counted as 1 session, then warping which took a minute or two is counted as 1 session, half hour hot blanket counted as 1 session, and then the girl does a 5minute massage which is called "push fat" by rubbing some mentol solution (so you feel heated up tricking you to think that it will burn your fat) counted as 1 session. In total: 5 sessions.

Anyway .... when I come in, the weight taken is always 210 lbs.... after the hot blanket - a treatment which makes you sweat and this results in water loss.... I would normally weigh about 208 lbs after all the sessions are over. So, go back, carry on with life, diet and next alternate day return, I still weigh 210 lbs... so, this is what goes on.... For me, as far as I am concern, I have not had any weight loss... BUT TO THEM, I have lost a total of 2.4kgs..... HOW??? very simply put, after the sessions are over, they take down my weight which will of course be down by 200 or 300grams cos of the bloody hot blanket or sauna sessions - you don't have to be Einstein to know that when you steam yourself, you sweat and lose water and naturally you lose the water weight... after all the treatments/sessions I had with them I have lost a total of "ta-da" 2.4kg due the hot blanket/steaming.... WTF, right!!!

I immediately confronted them and told them to their face that this is just a rip-off, scam.... and I want my money back for the balance 75 sessions.... I am no longer happy, and only a fool will further submit themself to carry on the treatments... how in the world do you count the water lost and total them up and SAY, THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT YOU HAVE LOST WITH US!!! I am back with the same weight all the time. To lose 200 - 300 grams, there's plenty of ways to do that... have some laxative tea, I am sure by end of the day, you will be down by 1kg! or go make yourself puke, so just prance around for 15mins and go under a blanket, or skip a meal, dont drink water for the day, ....

The girls at the centre said I should maintain the weight I lost after the treatment... which is the insignificant 200 - 300grams due to water loss. HOW IN THE WORLD TO MAINTAIN WATER WEIGHT LOSS??? For your info, my problem in weight is not due to my over eating or unhealthy eating, etc... I guess I have hormone inbalance after the birth of my child. Pre-pregnant weight was 65kgs... (I liked being 65kgs + I am tall), after birth 78 kgs... which then accelerated to 105 kgs. On my own, I have lost about 12 kgs just by yoga... i can't diet further cos I am like two packets nesvita for breakfast, drink water, water, water, water, lunch two eggs boiled, very little rice and veggie, water, water, water, night some oats or an apple or two and more water. I know of every diet there is, but this is more suitable for me at this stage.

I have already told myself, NEVER NEVER EVER CONTRIBUTE A SINGLE SEN FOR ANY SLIMMING PILLS, CREAMS, FOOD AND SLIMMING CENTRES - cos as my weight accelerated (in the last two years) I have spent a significant amount but with no real results. I know very well why I signed up with My DeBeauty - cos of their so call GUARANTEE. The rm2,000 I contributed to them could have paid lots of bills, paid up for my outstanding insurance premium or just bank into my child's account.

I just curse these unscruptous people, their business.... I hope you guys take a lesson or two from my experience. If you still want to go to a slimming centre, you draw up a agreement and make them sign... or do a recording of your deal. Safe all the trouble and money, just don't go.

By the way, they wouldn't refund the balance of the 75 sessions $$$$ .... If I insist I want my money back, they would treat my 25 sessions as their standard rate at rm168......... I dunno, I am thinking of making a police report, bring this to the consumer court, exposing their "guaranteed" weight loss strategy in the papers, etc. To end all this, allow me to tell you a joke.

Me: Saya mahu saya punya baki wang. Saya tak mahu buat treatment lagi. Kamu orang tipu.
The Manager: Tak boleh ooooo.... kami punya lesit ada cakap no refund. You tak baca meh?
Me: Kamu tak beri saya resit untuk baca sebelum saya bayar. Saya sudah bayar baru kamu tulis resit and beri saya. Mana ada cakap awal awal.
The Manager: Lu patut tanya itu lesit dulu baca belum bayar itu wang .... boleh tengok ada tulis no refund mah...

Yeah, right, mah your head. Me a Masters' degree holder got scammed by a bloody what also I dunno lah....

The thing is I asked the girl very clearly... now I weigh 95.5 kgs.... so you will do treatment till I reach 85.5 kgs... is that correct?... yes, that is correct... so you don't have to pay anything until you lose 10 kgs.

What a scam.
