Jill's Weight Loss Story

In May of 2010, my daughter became engaged. Right then and there I knew that I had to do something about my weight. If I didn't, I would be the "giant person" in the wedding pictures for all eternity! With that thought as my motivation, I started the Augusta Weight Loss Clinic program. In the past, I'd lost large amountsWeight Loss Management | Diet Plan | Weight Loss Doctors of weight, but never really reached my goal nor changed my attitude toward food. Right from the beginning, things were different! I had recently become a Christian, and was sick and tired of looking at my 295 pounds in the mirror, not to mention always feeling enormous and bloated. This time, the weight seemed to peel off. I couldn't believe it! About every month, I would drop another clothing size. I loved relocating food to the back of my life. Planning a weekly grocery shopping trip, roughly counting calories and regaining my vitality gave me a sense of freedom and helped me put food where it belongs. Now I ate to nourish my body. Thinking about my next meal, nibbling all of the time, binge eating, the bowl of ice cream before bed, and making my every action revolve around my eating became a thing of the past.

Finding the perfect dress in the perfect dress for my daughter's wedding was so important to me! When my daughter was first engaged, we went dress shopping before I lost much weight. I couldn't fit in a size 24, ugh! I was so embarrassed. As the weight came off I found a beautiful dress in an 18 that didn't fit, but I bought it anyway. Before I knew it, the 18 was too big! Then I bought a 16, then a 14 and a 12 just in case!

Well, as the weight came off, I just kept returning the larger size dresses! Two weeks before her December 7 wedding, I walked into the bridal shop and fell in love with an entirely different dress. It was a size 12 on the mannequin in the window! Needless to say, I felt beautiful at my daughter's wedding, but that was just the beginning. I've gone on to lose so much more since then. I wear a size 8 now. People literally do not recognize me! People think I must have had a gastric bypass or my jaw wired shut! I recently picked up my baton, which I had been unable to twirl since high school! After being morbidly obese the majority of my life, I was able to twirl a baton once again, hike in the woods and do all of the things I used to enjoy! I no longer had to make excuses to active friends that I have. Wow!

The staff at the Augusta Weight Loss Clinic has been wonderful. They are very supportive, encouraging, and seem genuinely happy for my success. I can never satisfactorily express my gratitude! I will never go back to a body that doesn't do what I want it to. I walk three miles a day, hike in the woods, work out at Curves, ride a bike, and happily get dressed for any occasion, even the beach! In February 2012, my daughter and her husband will become parents. Thanks to Augusta Weight Loss Clinic, I will be able to do anything I might need to do to keep up with my grandchild. I love being thin enough to be able to look at myself in pictures and see a regularly weighted person. For a number of reasons, I will always be happy that my daughter became engaged in May of 2010. It was my wake-up call and motivation to take charge of my life; to look and live the way I'd only dreamed of!

Susan's Weight Loss Story 
Unfortunately, this is not the first Medical Weight Loss Center that I have gone to, but thank God It is the last!  Alice and Dr. Greene have always been veryMedical Weight Loss | Weight Loss Physician | Diet Plan kind, supportive and knowledgeable.  Their weight loss diet and management prices are the best I have found, but regardless, I have lost 60 pounds in 6 months and have gone from a size 20 to a 10!  I weigh about 5 pounds more than when I graduated.  

My husband and I both are extremely pleased with my appearance!!!  I have been buying my clothes at Good Will for the last few months. Since I am now at my goal weight of 130 pounds, we can go out and splurge on a new wardrobe.  Moreover, my husband wants to go wardrobe shopping with me!  I strongly recommend that you call them today if you are ready to make a lasting, meaningful lifestyle change.  

To know my husband and close friends are amazed with the new me is so self-gratifying!

Jessica's Weight Loss Story    

After I had my second child, I was at my highest weight ever, while I was overjoyed to have two beautiful children, I had never been unhappier with myself or the way that I looked.  I knew I needed to do something for the sake of my own happiness, but also for that of my family.  I really wanted to be the healthiest I could be for my husband and my kids.  I heard about Augusta Weight Loss Clinic, but I was skeptical that it was a fad or a gimmick.  Finally, a friend of mine told meWeight Loss Solutions | Weight Loss Clinics of success on their weight loss diet.  I became curious enough to call and find out for myself.  I called and talked to a representative at the weight loss clinic looking for the trick or the gimmick, convinced I'd find a reason to say NO.  When I finished talking with her, I consulted with my family and made an appointment.

The journey to find myself          

The Initial Consultation was the first day of my incredible journey back to finding myself!  I really lost over 8 pounds in the first week, and over 20 pounds in the first month, I absolutely couldn't believe it!  I was 25 pounds lighter when I went back to work after my maternity leave.  It gave me a spring in my step, and a glimmer of the old confidence that was enough to motivate me to keep going and stay on track!  While it is still hard for me to believe, I just achieved my goal weight, and I lost 60 pounds in exactly 5 months to the day!  I didn't think I would ever hit the "pie in the sky" goal weight I set for myself at my Initial Consultation, but I did, and it was without a doubt the easiest weight I've ever lost, and the best program I have ever come across.

What I love most about this plan is that it is very easy to follow and doesn't require too much effort.  I am a full-time working mom of 2 children under 2, and I felt a little despair at the notion of losing all of the weight I had to lose.  In order for me to be successful, I knew my weight loss plan would have to be simple, easy to follow, and adaptable to a very busy lifestyle.  I asked myself, "How would I ever do it; when would I find the time; and is it even possible?"  Since I began going to Augusta Weight Loss Clinic, I have bought all of my food at the local grocery store, and I have yet to eat at a restaurant or attend a lunch or dinner function that I couldn't find something that was fine for me to eat and acceptable on my weight loss diet plan. The meals I cook are healthy and ones that my whole family can enjoy.  Because I have learned so much about myself and proper eating habits, I am now cooking for my family as I do for myself, which has caused my husband and children to lose some weight without any effort on their part!  My husband has lost about 10 pounds in 2 months and his doctor has reduced his blood pressure medication.  I was responsible for my family being a little overweight.  Now I am responsible for them losing weight! 

Augusta Weight Loss Clinic will provide you a personalized weight loss diet plan that any person can be successful on, even a busy working mom like me! Losing the weight has been life-changing for me.  I went from a size 18 to a size 10 in 5 months, and have lost 60 pounds! †  I have more energy than I ever could have imagined, and I am truly grateful that I found Augusta Weight Loss Clinic.  My children, my husband, and my career now have the best version of me that I have to offer.  I am happy, healthy, and thoroughly enjoying life with a confidence and energy that I have been missing for a long time!
Thanks Augusta Weight Loss Clinic!

Steve's Weight Loss Story    

I have struggled with my weight most of my life.  For over 25 years I served in the Army as a reserve officer and I was a long distance runner.  After retirement from the reserve program, when my marathon running days were over, my weight began to increase.  I tried several different approaches to weight loss,Weight Loss Doctors | Weight Loss Diet including several well-known popular programs.  Each weight loss plan that I found and studied helped me to lose some of my excess baggage, but I found the weight returning shortly after completion of each of the weight loss programs.

Now, at age 62, weight control was more important than ever and even more difficult.  The Monday after Father's Day, I entered Augusta Weight Loss Clinic Program. As a healthcare professional, I studied and understood the approach and liked the fact that, from the start, I ate real food. The results were immediate and I found the program very easy to follow.  As the weight came off, my energy level increased and I found it easy to incorporate exercise into the program.  Now, 50 pounds lighter and close to my goal weight, I look forward to entering a maintenance phase and finally the Wellness Phase of the program.  I believe that Augusta Weight Loss Clinic has discovered an ideal approach that leads to sustainable results through appropriate lifestyle changes.

Laura's Weight Loss Story

At only 28 years old, I was morbidly obese with extremely high blood pressure.  My doctor had referred me to a few different weight loss clinics, but I really did not feel connected and vested until I entered the weight loss program at Augusta Weight Loss Clinic.

The staff at Augusta Weight Loss Clinic helped me realize that this program is about a lifestyle change, not about just being on a diet.  I took that lesson to heart, and have strived not only to lose weight, but to change my life.  In pursuit of my change, the staff encouraged and supported me throughout the wholeWeight Loss Doctors provide Healthy Weight Loss Programs. process.  I could tell they truly cared about my health.  As the months continued I enjoyed noticing the little things that came with my weight loss.  After only two months of being on the Augusta Weight Loss Clinic Program, I was taken off of my blood pressure medication.

During the next nine months, I lost over 100 pounds!  My waist is half what it was!  † Because I saw results every single week, it motivated me to keep going.  Now I am an inspiration to others!  Alice and Dr. Greene at Augusta Weight Loss Clinic taught me healthy eating habits, the value of exercise, and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.  The benefits of being healthy have been priceless!  I have the energy to play with my kids.  I am happier, more confident in myself, and I even started my own business.  Before my weight loss, I would not have had the confidence to sell anything, much less start a business.  Perhaps the most special aspect of my weight loss journey is the lifetime friendships that I developed with the people who have finally helped me attain my goals.

Augusta Weight Loss Clinic really is the weight loss program that works!  I have referred many of my friends because I want everyone to have this opportunity to change their lives.  Thank you Augusta Weight Loss Clinic for giving me my life back!

Darcy's Weight Loss Story   
When I look at my before pictures, I really can't believe I was that heavy.  I always wore nice clothes and accessories and thought I looked okay for a 40 year old wife and mother of 3.  "I didn't have to look at myself; others did."  But the number on the scale was 240 and I knew that weight put me in the obese category, by anyone's standards.  I also knew that as I got older, carrying that extra weight around could not be good for me.  Diabetes and heart disease were future risksWeight Loss Doctors | Weight Loss Diets for me as they run in my family.  Finally, I had made plans to go whitewater rafting down the Grand Canyon next summer and I did not want to be embarrassed by how I looked in shorts or a swimsuit.  How did I get that way?  I was always in the normal weight range as a child and teenager.

College put on a few pounds and a few more came and didn't go away after pregnancy.  After hitting my 40s, my body's metabolism seemed to slow down. My husband, who is a gourmet cook, does all the cooking and shopping.  However, his cooking has always been healthy and nutritious, but plentiful as well.  It is just that by eating extra large portions, and/or having seconds, that I slowly put weight on.  And we have a generous secretary at my office who loves to bring in doughnuts, danish, and other goodies which are put on a table right outside my office door.  Temptations can only be denied so long.  I had lost weight before using the Atkins Diet and the Siegal Cookie Diet at different points in my life. Both of the diet plans worked well when I committed myself to them.  But after the weight loss, the pounds would slowly creep back on when I went back to my usual eating habits.   I have lost about 80 pounds! I have about 20 more and I am going to do it! I know it! I am sure of it! My body has "reset."  I don't eat the same!  Let me also tell you that I had no idea that I needed to do a quick detox! Wow is all I will say 

Referred by family

Last Thanksgiving, my daughter came for dinner and I hadn't seen her for several months.  She had lost at least 50 pounds and looked marvelous and healthy. I asked her what she had done and she said she had been going to Augusta Weight Loss Clinic in Staunton VA. She told me about the program and it sounded reasonable, not like a gimmick.  I called the Augusta Weight Loss Clinic and signed up.  It has proven to be one of the best personal decisions that I have ever made!

The reason this weight loss plan worked for me is:

  • I saw Doctor Greene monthly and came in as often as I wished to be weighed.  There is no lying to the scale!
  • Despite the fact that their prices are very reasonable, I was paying my hard-earned money and did not want to waste it, so I got relatively serious about it!
  • I received an eating plan that was balanced and good for my body: high protein, low fat, fruits and vegetables.  Mostly Fish, Chicken, Turkey, Vegetables and some Fruit!
  • Counting calories was discussed.  I recorded everything that I ate in my journal before I ate my meal so I didn't lie to myself, etc.
  • Dr. Greene and the Staff encouraged me to add exercise into my regular routine.... take steps at work, not the elevator.  Go for a walk on my breaks.  I quickly developed a few friends at work who walked with me, then the boss started walking with us.  Someone was always looking for me at break time to go for a walk and the 10 to 15 minutes that we spent walking were always mutually beneficial and motivating.  Although I don't like to workout at the gym, I have come to enjoy a 2-3 mile walk at night with my husband several times a week.  I also use weights and do sit-ups a couple of days a week, but nothing drastic; just enough to keep toned and my metabolism up.
  • The appetite suppressant helped me get through the first week when my body was so used to eating sugary snacks and succumbing to every delectable temptation that exists.  It doesn't make you nervous or over-stimulated, which would never work for me.  I have a stressful job that takes all the composure I have.  The medication was helpful, but easy to be wean off.
  • The weight loss clinic staff were supportive and encouraging. The first medical assistant I saw had used the program and lost about 40 pounds herself. She convinced me that I could do it, too.  Now that I have finished losing my goal of 60 pounds, which was 30% of myself, I keep a monthly appointment with them, just to have a reason to stay accountable.

By sticking with a reasonable diet and exercise program, I know I will be able to keep the weight off this time because I enjoy feeling healthy besides being slimmer.  I watch the scale and if it goes up 2-3 pounds, I cut back for a few days, before it gets out of control. I have never had to starve myself; just eat right and exercise a little bit.  I am keeping my before picture on the refrigerator door as a reminder of how I do not want to look anymore. I went from squeezing into a size 16 to a size 8 in six months on this diet!

Tara's Weight Loss Story

I saw my sister's success with Augusta Weight Loss Clinic and was inspired to give it a try. I had put on about 10-15 pounds in the last year and decided that my upcoming wedding was good motivation to do something about it. I had never really dieted before, so I was quite apprehensive about going into Augusta Weight Loss Clinic for my first appointment. Dr. Greene and the rest of the staff were very understanding and nice. They took a lot of time to explain theWeight Loss Doctors provide Healthy Weight Loss Programs. program, answered all of my questions and never made me feel uncomfortable.

I wouldn't say the first week on the program was easy, but it definitely was not terribly hard either. All it requires is planning. On Sunday, I purchased a deli turkey breast and portioned it out into individual servings; same thing with chicken breasts. At dinnertime, I would just take out a baggie of chicken and cook it on the Foreman Grill with salt and pepper. Occasionally, I marinated the chicken (or sometimes fillet mignon) in mustard or vinegar-based barbecue sauce. After the first week, fruits and vegetables began to seem like a real luxury and I was surprised how much I enjoyed finding ways to add them to my diet. The weight kept falling off. The first week I lost 7.8 pounds. I had more energy, my skin felt and looked better, and I was happier than I had been in years! I loved the Augusta Weight Loss Clinic experience from start to finish and learned some great habits and tips to keep me eating healthier for the future. In 2½ months, I lost 32 pounds and went from a size 10 to a size 2. I far exceeded my original goal without even really trying and I felt absolutely great in my wedding dress!
