With the negative emotional effect of COVID 19 and using food as comfort for over a year, I had gained over 20 lbs. My clothes did not fit. It was time to take control of my life again in so many ways. I'd been a client of GiGi and Lance in the past, so I called them for HELP! Their HGC program and support were just what I needed to reset my weight. Seeing them weekly kept me on track. Letting go of weight quickly is always so encouraging. Plus, I needed to get back to portion control. A big thanks - I am now ready for post-pandemic life. read more

Here is the letter of gratitude I wrote to my coach Lance on New Year's Day 2020. I decided to post it here, as it is truly the way I feel about my experience. Happy new Year Lance! I just want to tell you that coming into a new year where my number one goal wasn't to lose weight was so refreshing, there are simply no words. I'm doing so well, have lost another 10 pounds since I saw you last and feel so wonderful and free from the weight burden. To see my sister thriving and enjoying the way she feels and looks also brings me very deep joy. She was so incredibly successful on your program... of course! You are a fantastic coach, a wonderful person and have given me a precious gift. I am so grateful for you! Thank you again, Charlotte read more

What happened to a New Me? I miss them! They've moved from Redondo Torrance and now they seem to be closed and I can't find them anymore.

There amazing people They welcome me with open arms they made me feel like I had hope and put me in a positive stage in my life read more

A great program. Easy, the results you want, a very supportive team to help you succeed. I've tried so many weight loss programs and I think this is the best!! So very grateful to Lance and Gigi. They will do everything they can to help you reach your weight loss goal. I can't thank them enough!! read more

I left a message and Gigi got back to me. I was just calling with an inquiring mind as I'd seen them published in LA Weekly, I believe, and she was so kind and informative and non-judgy if that makes any sense. A lot of times with fitness programs people can be really pushy and sometimes plain old rude, but Gigi wasn't like that at all. I didn't really know what to expect when I called, but I take comfort in knowing that they actually care about their clients. I hope to begin the program soon and share my results! read more

Gigi is ABSOLUTELY wonderful. The HCG program works and if followed properly you will lose the weight. Gigi is very encouraging and patient. She explained the program in detail and was so helpful. I loss 20 lbs in less than a month. I have more weight to lose, but I need to get back on the program. I stopped due to personal reasons, but I will be calling Gigi later today to get the ball rolling again. If you want permanent weight loss and a program that works, give Gigi a call. Alisa read more

I was extremely skeptical when my girlfriend gifted this diet program to me. But literally for the whole phase 2 of 25 days of eating 500 calories with the HCG shots. I lost a total of 16 poundsI couldn't believe my eyes every morning when I weighed myself I was down 1 pound! Lance, Gigi and Amia are amazing. They followed up with me almost every week to see my progress!! read more

I met Lance today during my 1st visit. Lance is such a nice person to talk to and is committed to help you. He gave me the confidence I need to trust myself during the protocol. Looking forward to my new Me! Carmen read more

I have done two rounds of this diet (with excellent results) and looking forward to starting my third. The HCG diet provides fast and lasting results if you work the program as Lance or Gigi show you. I agree that maintaining these results requires a change to the way you were eating/exercising before, which totally makes sense since that behavior is what put you in the position to need to lose weight in the first place! If you slip up during the 25 day diet period or following maintenance period, be honest with yourself and with Lance or Gigi. They will treat you like an adult unlike some doctors who seem judgemental of bad decisions. You always have the change to make the good decision next time. You're there because you're committed to changing yourself, and Lance and Gigi will be with you on your journey and provide whatever support you need! read more

I was skeptical when I first met With Lance - couldn't believe all the hype given that I had tried every diet out there only to lose a bit then regain even more weight. This program works and it works so fast you really won't believe it at first! It is not easy to restrict your diet so much however you won't be hungry and the ponds will fall off. Follow the program and you'll see amazing results! Lance and Gigi are great and care about your success! read more

Gigi gave me the tools and encouragement to build a plan that I could execute one day at a time. It took a little over a year, but I have become a new person. It's not just weight, it's a lifestyle change that moves me closer to every goal I have. I am healthier inside and out. I am a better chef. I go outside and enjoy the sun. I am more confident in my speech. I also practice better and much more responsible adult eating habits. Gigi understands that the process of losing weight is holistic self improvement that isn't so much a program but bringing out your full potential. Having the courage and bravery to see it through and not give up! She is there with you the entire way. I've lost 70lbs and I am a new me. read more

A New Me - Gigi/Lance are wonderful humans + amazing guides on your quest to A NEW YOU! Listen, be honest w/yourself, and trust the protocol. RESULTS! - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Torrance, California

We are truly thankful for Lance and Gigi at A New Me. Their program really works - I lost weight, feel better, have tons more energy - And my doctor says my cholesterol is lower! Thanks! read more

Today I start my first day of my weight loss journey I am So exited I had my appt with Gigi She so amazing made me feel so comfortable and hearing her journey inspired me to stay strong on my journey I'm really excited for the future I'm really glad I have a new me to on my side read more

My husband & I went to them some years ago. My husband is very hard of hearing. Gigi spoke to him as if he were stupid... he's deaf... not stupid! I think these people are awful and I would NEVER recommend them or what the sell. My opinion is they only really care about your money. This is just my opinion and experience. They make me very uncomfortable . There are lots of other weight loss & optimum health avenues. My experience... I would pass on this one. As I said before... This is just my humble experience. Not everyone is the same. Good luck to you . read more

I few years ago I was researching centers that help with nutrition, vitamin therapy, and specifically was interested in trying the HCG diet, and was lucky enough to find Gigi and Lance. I have had issues with weight management since I turned 30, at which age I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had to have my thyroid completely removed. Ever since that, managing my weight has been an uphill struggle. I have done a few rounds of HCG along with nutrition counseling and vitamin therapy. Gigi and Lance always spend as much time as I need providing counseling, encouragement and motivation to get through the cycle, and at the same time are forgiving and understanding of life circumstances that sometimes get in the way. It's a true talent to provide so much encouragement and yet never judge. I highly recommend Gigi and Lance and visiting A New Me. read more

I couldn't lose the baby weight. I had tried numerous avenues of weight loss. I bought the Disneyland Annual Passport but I couldn't stay away from the corn dogs long enough to walk what it would take to get in shape. I had a gym membership but the 14 year old boys that watch your kids in the nursery had it looking like Lord of The Flies when I went to drop my daughter off. Last time I checked a run on the treadmill for me, shouldn't be a life lesson in "survival of the fittest" for my 2 year old. That's when the clouds parted in the sky and like a shining beacon of hope and joy, my friend Amy suggested Gigi. I stepped out of line at Cinnabon long enough to take her call, and the rest is history. Its not hard folks. But you have to want it, and I mean really want it. Like kicking a mean crack habit. Or skydiving.Or whatever else you find immensely challenging in life.... I did a ton of research. I threw out the stuff I didn't believe in, like a point system that just makes people feel like miserable failures. No thanks Weight Watchers. Or a packaged food program that is full of salt, gmo's, nitrates, nitrites, and maybe not really food, come to think of it. No thanks Nutrisystem. Liposuction? Tummy Tuck? Ironman Triatholon training? Not going to happen. I made the appointment. Kevin Trudeau is a big HcG advocate so I was immediately skeptical because that guy sells EVERYTHING. But the research I had done really made sense. The way I understand it is, the HcG sort of fools your body into thinking it is a teensy bit pregnant, which tells it to hang on to muscle and lose fat, vs . just regular dieting where you are losing both. In conjunction, you eat a super low calorie, almost no carb diet. I know a lot of people here are saying 500 calories, but I know I didn't do 500. I was more in the 700 range, because I just can't eat or cook certain things without a little extra olive oil. I also kicked in for the B-vitamin shots which boost your energy level to push you through. I was definitely hungry by the time I was ready for my next meal, but isn't that HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE?? Before Gigi, I was eating, hungry or not. So, I would stand up in the am, weigh myself, do the shots, and eat strictly what was allowed in the right portions. It only lasts 25 days so seriously, if you can't do this, you must have zero willpower. Mid-way through I went back to weigh in and get the lipotropic which didn't do much for me. All in all, I lost 15 lbs in 25 days on the diet, and then continued to lose up until about a month or two ago. So, I am down 25 lbs total, and have kept it off for over 6 months. I still don't eat bread, potatoes, or any other JUNK that makes you FAT. (I recommend Wheat Belly or Why We Get Fat if you are interested in researching that stuff further). Gigi teaches you a new way of eating and living life. Sure, I have a piece of wheat toast now and then, or maybe some of my daughters Halloween candy (ok fine, a lot of it...) but I just right myself by going back to the eating habits that were instilled in me during this program and I never go up or fluctuate by much. It's as if my body is where it wants to be. If you think you are going to do this for 25 days and keep it off without figuring out a new way of living, you are setting yourself up for failure. Obviously what you are doing now isn't working for you, so when you are ready, and reallly want the change, this is the place to go. I highly recommend this program to anyone who has struggled or just doesn't know where to start. I am a new me. How cliche! read more

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Gigi's support. Anyone can follow the HCG protocol, but it takes a good supporter to help you through it. There were so many times when I wanted to give up and succumb to the piece of cake or pastry, but I kept telling myself that I can do it and that it's just (x) amount of days until I see Gigi to tell her about my success. She definitely has your back and is willing to talk to you through your ups and downs. What I love the most about her is that she's so down to earth! From the first day I met her, I felt so comfortable--I was able to share all my weight struggles with her. I didn't get the opportunity to work with Lance, but I am sure he is a nice guy. Casey (the receptionist) was also a sweet heart. They were always accommodating to my schedule and I was willing to take the hour trip during rush hour to see them. Now, let's talk about the diet. Before starting the diet, I researched EVERYTHING about it. I have done HCG with so many companies that state they have HCG in their product... Trust me, I tried it all... From Ultra HCG, Easy HCG, to Nu Image Medical... They're all a joke. Especially the latter one, but I won't go into details about how disappointing all of them were. They say that if you do not have as much fat deposits, you won't lose as much fat on the diet. I started off at 134 and after 22 days, I am down to 110! While people usually lose a pound to less than a pound a day, my average was about a 1.1 loss every day. Getting my old body back is the best feeling in the world. If you live in the Los Angeles area and is interested in HCG -- just go to A New Me. Don't waste your time looking for the best HCG for its price... A New Me is definitely affordable (I am a college student!) and has wonderful results. Thank you to Gigi & all the staff. xoxo read more

I just completed 30 days working with Lance and GiGi. They are such great people but even more importantly... their program is AMAZING! I started at 215 lbs and today my scales read 185 lbs. I never would have believed that would've been possible. I have a lot of self discipline and followed the 30 program almost perfectly but regardless... without ever feeling hungry or feeling like it was a hard process it pounds disappeared. My business partner started the program four days ago. He will do amazing and so would you. Thanks Lance and GiGi for being the real deal! I deeply appreciate the change! read more

It works, but you have the have the willpower of a Buddhist monk. Gigi and Lance are great and personable. The least expensive hcg around by far. I've done my research. read more

I had a 2 month weight loss contest that just ended Friday.April 1st, 2016. Start Feb 1st weigh 244 lbs.. I got down to 231 lbs by first week of March without HCG but I began to plateau so I contacted Lance so I could get on the HCG protocol for the next 25 days... Following the HCG protocol the next 25 days I went from 231.50 lbs down to final weigh in 204.80 lbs.. I won the contest, thanks to my 'secret' weight loss weapon, I'm convinced the HCG protocol is the quickest route to weight loss. Thank you Lance! read more

The "carson camp" is an amazing experience for those that are serious about losing weight! It's easy to "FTDI" follow the dam instructions instructions. For those that are concern about meal prepping and understanding what to eat this is the plan! I lost a total of 21.8 pounds in my first 6 week challenge. Thank you to the amazing staff for pushing me two new limits!!!'n read more

It worked. But overall, given my traveling for work I couldn't continue to do it the way they instructed. I dropped the weight quickly, just couldn't commit to full program. There is no magic pill for me.... I need to be active and just eat well. read more

This is the best weight loss program around. Lance and Gigi are miracle workers. Coupled with the HCG plan and their support you are guaranteed to lose the weight you want and keep it off!!! It's been 5 years since I lost all my weight and I have them to thank! I still stop in from time to time to check in with them and let them know I'm still on track! If you have weight to lose - don't WAIT another day. Go to A New Me and be the you you want to be!! Lance and Gigi rock! read more

Where to even begin... I have been seeing Lance for some time now and every single time I go in to speak with him I always leave with a sense of refreshment and just a good ora! He is the nicest yet the most honest person to come around. He will be blunt and the words he uses are so meaningful. There were times that I used certain phrases and he put me into a whole other perspective. LOL- this place sounds more like a sanctuary with my words, well that's because for me this place regroups me. Now, for the HCG program itself, I LOVE IT! But this is definitely not a magic pill. There are no magic pills!!!! If you commit and follow the program it will work. That goes with anything and everything in life! I love all the emails Gigi send out to motivate us and what better place to go to then a family oriented environment!! Serious goals- Lance and Gigi, you both are AMAZING! Anyone who stumbles across A NEW ME, consider yourself BLESSED!!!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! They are so supportive in your diet and super accommodating. I'm losing weight quick and feel so great! The staff is really friendly and I would recommend them to anyone who is serious about losing weight. read more

At first I was very nervous about going on the HCG diet with a new me...it was the best thing i ever did...i lost about 35lbs before my wedding and used HCG again after having my baby...Gigi is one of the most amazing women I have ever met, she is so supportive and is there for you 100% with quick response to emails and phone calls. It is a life style change not a quick fix- its important to follow the guidelines if your looking for success...after seeing my results both my parents, in-laws, girl friends, and sister have tried it an seen amazing results...I actually feel my best when I am on the diet...I know there are alot of different options out there for HCG but A new me is hands down the best one and the best place to get the support from people who actually care about you and your success and are not just all about the money... read more

Whether it's for weight-loss, energy & health, or just feeling better about yourself, the help Gigi & Lance provide is invaluable! They feel like partners on a journey, not just people giving advice and instruction. The program has truly changed the way I eat & feel, and it's a pleasure to talk wtih either one of them whenever a concern or question comes up. No judgement, just honest feedback. Their good humor, support & tips all make the path a better one.... one that leads to success! read more

My mom has been going to a new me for a few months now and is very pleased and grateful for what they have done for her! The regimen is strict but has gotten her the results she wanted. Highly recommended place for weight loss, and plus Gigi is amazing! read more

I went to A New Me after I gained 70 pounds during my pregnancy. I am now down 43 pounds after two 25 day rounds of HCG. I took a few months break in between rounds and never gained weight back unlike other diets out there when you stop. I will be starting my 3rd round this week! With HCG it is easy to only eat 500 calories per day. I never feel hungry and I still have energy to keep up with my kids. read more

If you're even considering making the commitment to lose weight, make an appointment to meet with Lance or Gigi right away. While the diet is not easy, once the weight starts melting off, you'll be amazed at how simple it is! And Lance and Gigi are always available for support and advice. I lost over 30lbs. over 5 years ago at A New Me -- and I have kept it off, thanks to the guidance they provided. You won't regret this decision! read more

A New Me is a great weight loss program that works if you follow the protocol. I was amazed at how quick the weight was coming off. If you're serious about weight loss, A New Me will work! read more

I have been going to A New Me for a few years. It was so hard to lose that extra 15 lbs that came on when I turned 50. Gigi has been so amazing. Helped me get on the program, met with me every week, and was so encouraging. I now only lost the weight, but it was that awful belly weight that seemed to never want to come off! This program works. Gig and Lance are both so supportive! I highly recommend! read more

This is the greatest diet i have ever been on. it is true that this is a way of life, the beginning is the easy part, sticking with it is more difficult. But if you are like me and have tried other programs with no success or limited success, this is the way to go. The quick results give you the motivation to keep going. If this does not work then you only have youself to blame. The program was easy to follow. i lost 30 lbs after only 2 sessions. The key is to follow the maintenance program at the end. While on the program i continued to cook meals for the other 4 members of my family. i did not have the urge to cheat at all. I just kept thinking of what the scale was saying and how wonderful i felt. i found an entire closet full of clothers that i had not been able to fit in to for years. This is a great jump start for anyone who feels that they have tried everything read more

I've tried many diets in my lifetime but this one seems to have worked for me. I've lost a total of 25 lbs and have kept it off for almost a year.....I'm getting ready to do another round! Lance is extremely encouraging. I love his daily emails with words of wisdom. He always has a positive outlook when I see him. He has taught me how to change the way I eat so that I keep the weight off. I highly recommend this!! read more

i have been very impressed over the years with gigi and lance ! i have used them several times over the years and they have never let me down and all their products for weight loss are amazing. i will never go anywhere else. kudos to their customer service and the personal help they both give renee haarala read more

My friend was the first to do this diet and after seeing her huge transformation I thought I would give it a try. This HCG diet works. Lance and Gigi are very informative, supportive, and motivating. The program is very straight forward. If you follow the plan you will lose the weight. If you cheat, skip meals, or eat what is not allowed, you will not be as successful. This diet helped me kick my bad habit of sweets and crave more vegetables. I am now liking fish which I never thought would be possible. I really believe if you are ready and willing and want to change the way you feel and look, you can't go wrong with this HCG diet. With the HCG diet you not only lose weight on the scale, but inches in the waist, arms, and thighs. All the problem areas. How can I not be excited about that? It is a New Year and I am ready for the New Me! read more

This place is a total scam!!! Do yourself a favor, and don't waste your money! I spent over $300 on the HCG, and it didn't work at all. I followed the protocol, and I only felt sick and weak. Lance Richmond will smooth talk you when you go in, but there is absolutely no follow up...they are expecting people to fail and not come back...they just want the initial money. If you really want to try the HCG diet, do it somewhere else. Liked: Disliked: read more

Lose up to a pound a day! sounds too good to be true? Well it is. I did lose 8 pounds my first two weeks. But couldn't continue on. I was starving and had dizzy spells. I think the only reason I got through the 1st week was that they have you gorge the first 2 days. You have to keep up a 500 calorie diet. My intellectual sense told be this was not at all healthy but was desperate to shed extra pounds. Yes its true, its only 25 days and it sounded easy enough, but not for a person who needs the energy to work full-time and then comes home to their children. I regained 4 of those pounds back within two weeks. I honestly believe I lost it because of the low calories. Oh and for the moral support- i overheard another client with Lance and she was extremely frustrated because she hit a plateau in her weight loss. He gave her no words of advice to help work through it. Gigi did give me information to download on the web that was extremely helpful-though contradictory to the information in the packet for diet guidelines that she provided me with which really confused me. As for me, this is another failed diet. But one good thing that came out of this is that I truly realized that nothing can compare to good old diet and excercise. read more

I wanted to try the HCG protocol and went into with more of "I need to kickstart my diet" mindset than hoping for a slam dunk. Its day 27 and I have lost 15 pounds (!). This is more than the kickstart I hoped for. I FINALLY have my carb and sugar craving gone, I am not one bit tired (love the B-12 shots, what a lifesaver for the afternoon sugar and carb scavenger hunt I was on at work). While I realized my Phase 3 may bring some of the weight back, i am so much better prepared to succeed with the rest of my weight loss and keep it off for good. read more
