I began my weight loss journey in August of 2008 at 296.4 lbs., and although for someone like me, who’s weight will continue to be one of my biggest concerns in life; I went into maintenance in October of 2009 at 185.5 lbs! I lost a total of 111 lbs. in 14 months, and have maintained that weight since then, and even lost another couple of pounds over the past few months without even trying, by making good choices and continuing to exercise.

The missing components of losing it in a healthy manner and keeping it off were, learning how to make good choice’s, which I learned how to do from the truly caring staff of Weight Management Medical Center, the accountability of checking in weekly to chart my progress, and the support provided by the staff as well as the other people who were on the same journey that I was. I couldn’t be happier with the way I feel or the way I look. ...read more
