  • Fan Mail: Dramatic Weight Loss…

    May, 24 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Meet loyal StraightFromTheA.com reader LaToya Walton. ?LaToya looks like a totally different person after losing a total of ?70lbs since joining the Dramatic Weight Loss diet program and?I’m so proud of her!

    Those of you who have read StraightFromTheA for a while, know that DWL has made a huge difference in my life after I lost over 75lbs last year.

    [READ: My Ode to Dramatic Weight Loss… PHOTOS]

    I’ve gained 12lbs back with all the traveling I’ve been doing lately but I’m back on track now. ?And even with my back sliding, I’m still proud to say that I’ve kept the bulk of it off for over a year!

    That being said, I’ve tried to encourage others who have also struggled with their weight and have received several emails with people showing off their results.

    Peep the letter I got from Latoya and more of her before/after photos below

    [Sidebar: this is NOT an advertisement but a real life testimonial!]…

    Hi hun!!

    Just wanted to take some time to share with you some before and after pics and thank you for helping get on the path to a better healthier life. Michelle as you know I am from MS originally and I found your blog and started following you about 2 and a half years ago. I was always interesting in the things that was going on around Atlanta since I had wanted to be here for such a long, long time. So I would watch you on YouTube and read your blog because I really love what you do.

    As time went on and I watched you on your blog and saw your pics that you posted, I thought to myself am I seeing things or is she shrinking. I didn’t want to be rude by asking but I could tell a real difference in you. So I asked you what you were doing. You told me about this great program called Dramatic Weight Loss and told me how well it was working for you.

    I was so excited about it because I had wanted to continue on the path I had recently started with my weight loss bootcamp. I knew that I would be moving to Atlanta soon and I wanted to have a new look and a new attitude. I managed to shed a few lbs before I got here but you told me that when I get here and when I was ready you would be there to encourage me. And you did!!!!!!!

    I finally made my mind up and I went to see the doctors at dramatic weight loss. They explained the program and encouraged me as well. I started the program 1-13-12 and so far I’ve lost 63 lbs and I feel better than I’ve felt about myself in YEARS!!! That’s just a little over 3 months I’ve gotten my confidence back and my health back. I’ve gotten my life back. And it’s all thanks to you chica!!

    You and Marissa have been the biggest cheerleaders I’ve had. I really appreciate y’all for being there for me. But especially you Michelle. I know I bugged you for months and months about the program and you were always there to answer all my questions.

    I’m not at my goal yet I plan on losing at least another 65 lbs but I’m on my way to the being in the best shape of my life. Thanks again girlie!! You’re like the big sis I never had! Open-mouth smile

    I attached some before pics and some of the current me. The ones with me in the blacksweater was my first visit the day before I started the plan.

    The second pic with me in the striped blouse and jeans is me exactly 1 week later and 14.5 lbs lighter.

    The newest pics are of me about 3 weeks ago at about 53 lbs lighter and I’ve lost 10 more and still losing. Huge difference huh?

    Thanks again!

    #Teamfitforlife

    As many names that I’m called on here everyday, it’s great to see that I can touch someone in a positive way. ?But like I always say, if “fat” is the worst you can call me, I’ll be that.

    But I digress…

    If you want to lose weight, trust me when I tell you Dramatic Weight Loss is great way to jump start your goals (and they serve clients NATIONWIDE!)

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
