After trying so many weigh loss programs over the years I had just given up. I figured I would just be fat and happy, but I was not happy. I used to be very slim, size 4-6, then in the matter of 2 months I put on 20 lbs. and could not get it off, I even had liposuction to get rid of my gut (at 23)! Finally after a few years of testing, yes years, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (family history, big time). I thought that was it, give me a pill and I will get skinny again....NOPE! So, all the ""diets"" started, I would sometimes loose a few lbs. to then turn around and gain it all back plus 10 more, without stopping the diet. One time I got back down to a size 6, got married and then got pregnant (gained 55 lbs. with him). After he was about a year old I even went on a vegan, glucose free, sugar free & raw diet program for over 2 months and did not lose but 5 lbs...probably water weight. After what I called a ""thyroid surge"" and put on 10 lbs. almost overnight, I got pregnant again with my second son...I only put on about 25 lbs with him, but I never lost the weight from my first, so that put me at 211 lbs....I AM ONLY 5'2""! Yes, after he was born most of that came off, but I was stuck again even while breastfeeding...can you believe I could not lose weight while breastfeeding??? Me either! So, eventually I just got more and more depressed....Not to mention my skin was a mess, acne as an adult is NOT fun! Then one day a friend on facebook mentioned that he had lost 62 lbs....and I knew he could eat! So, I contacted him and he told me about Medi....the rest is history! I am 8 weeks into the program and feel great. I have lost over 20 lbs...but it's not just the number on the scale, they actually can tell how much fat and water I am loosing...it's amazing! I have dropped 2 jean sizes, and my sweats are super baggy! My skin looks great and I am happy and have lots of energy...I even managed to lose weight while at Disney World for a week with my family...It's worth every dime I spend, because it's my health and the happiness of me and my family...The ladies at the clinic are so wonderful, they really care about how you are doing...they call you by name when you walk through the door, Ryan must have a photographic memory....they understand what I am going through and listen to me without trying to rush me off so they can get to the next person...Oh, and I really never have to wait to be seen...even without an appointment! I can't speak more highly of Medi-Weighloss Clinic in Glen Allen or the staff...A++++++++++ from me!
