I began my weight loss in the fall of 2008; within the first month, I had already lost 17 pounds.  By January of 2009, I had already reached my goal wight and I had lost the weight in all the right places!

At first, the loss was most noticeable around my mid-section and my neck.  I was so excited about the quick results that I was determined to follow it through to the end to see just how good it would work.  I was consistent in making sure I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in the recommended measured amounts.  I thought this would not be enough food to keep me satisfied, but eventually my stomach shrunk and I didn't require as much food to feel full.  The appetite suppressants really worked to cut my appetite--sometimes I had to force myself to eat, because I needed to fuel my body to keep dropping the pounds. I also drank lots of water.

After the first month, I noticed my clothes starting getting loose and with people commenting on the change they saw, I got so excited that it was hard to believe that this was really very easy.  I have tried a lot of diets and eating plans, but nothing has worked for me like this one.  In order to maintain my weight, I have learned to count calories and take notice of ingredients like sodium and sugar.

I had an awesome support team consisting of my husband and my girlfriends who were also my cheerleaders who encouraged me and rejoiced with me at the loss of every pound.  I never missed a week visiting the doctor until my goal was met.  I picked up the appetite suppressants and got my B-12 shots even on the weeks when I hadn't lost anything all because I knew that I would lose it eventually.  I would tell myself that this weight didn't jump on me in a week so I couldn't expect it to jump off me in a week.  I knew that I needed to remain consistent and focused on my goal because I saw myself slim and bringing sexy back☺. I was soon approaching my 50th birthday and I had a vision of myself at my party.  Now don't get me wrong, I did slip and mess up, but if I did, I didn't stay messed up, I got back on track and drank lots of water.

I realized that there is nothing magical about this plan, whatever you put in your body results in what you get out; junk in--junk in the trunk out!

In reaching my goal weight, I dropped four pant sizes by January 2009, only to set another goal weight for myself.  This plan works, but the key is consistency and discipline.  If I did it, you can do it too!

My Testimony....

I'm definitely guilty of the yo-yo diets.  I have tried everything from Atkins to Cabbage diets.  Among my friends I'm know as "Diet Debbie". Over the winter months I gained 21lbs and felt miserable.  After a general doctor visit my doctor stated for my height, weight and age I was in the high risk category for high pressure and diabetes.  I decided I had to loose weight the right way for personal and heal reasons.  I began the lengthy research process of locating the right diet center for me and my weight loss goals.  I came upon Dr. Weight Care specialists, LLC website and I was impressed. They offered various weight loss options plus a FREE consultation.  Upon my arrival was greeted withthe up most professionalism by Mrs. Darlene (Who I believe is heaven sent). Mrs. Darlene explained all their options and we tailored a program specifically for me and my weight loss goal.  They offered medical supervision witheach visit, nutritional supplements, B-12 injections and a diet plan.  In addition the office was conveniently located off the beltway along with Saturday hours and affordable prices.  By the end of the consultation I felt confident that i had picked the right diet center.  I have been on the program for eight weeks and have reached my goal weight.  I followed the diet program, attend my weekly weigh-ins, logged my food in-take and did moderate daily exercises. I feel and look great! I have more energy and I'm more positive about life.  I could not have successfully reached my goal without the knowledge and support from Dr. Vaughn and Mrs. Darlene. They have given me the tools and confided to make the correct food choices for my lifestyle.  I have recommended this service to my family, friends and co-workers and now to you.

Losing weight has always been a problem for me.  Over the last 6 years, my weight has fluctuated which has left me with a closet full of clothes from sizes 8 through 14.  When I was introduced to Dr.'s Weight Care Specialists, I knew I was about to embark on something different.  I was determined to make it work.  With the professionalism of and encouragement from the phenomenal team at Dr.'s Weight Care Specialists, I am proud to say that I have lost 47 lbs and that is the healthiest I've felt in a very long time.  I am grateful for the experience, which has changed my life.
