I don't mean for this to come out negative, but the name Weilos to me sounds to much like whales.

Is this on purpose?

I am guessing it is short for WEI(ght) LOS(s) ? Just a wild guess.
Yes that's right codegeek. Definitely did not intend to have the name sound like "whales"
I'm sure that's the idea. I was just pointing out the first thing that came to mind when I read the name.
Strange, I thought it sounded like Wales...I wonder if they're implying there's a lot of fat people there.
Weilos doesn't sound like whales to me at all.
In addition to "weight loss", it also sounds like "weigh less".
