I just wanted to say that of all the ways I have tried to lose weight this really works. I have been doing this for 6 weeks and I am not sick of it yet. I feel so energized with what I am doing. I am motivated to work out and make good eating choices. During my sixth week I had a week long conference in Reno. I was a little worried. I took the shakes & bars & soup with me. I only had a shake at breakfast & at bedtime & a bar during the day. Lunch and dinner I ate regular food & I still lost. I did exercise while I was gone. I still have more I want to lose. But in 6 wks I have lost 26 ½ lbs. I feel great! Thanks so much. I have recommended this program to my friends. It is so easy. I never feel hungry or tired. Everyone should try this program. I am a single mom with 4 small children 10, 6, 5 & 2 ½. Even with work & my family I am still able to succeed. My family has been so supportive and encourage(s) me at all times. My kids have made comments to me, & my mom, that I am happier & have more energy. That in its self makes my heart smile. It is all worth it. The weight loss is an added bonus for me. It is a total life change and not just a diet! Thanks so much for a wonderful program and great staff! Projected weight loss: 16 lbs Actual Weight loss: 26.5 lbs in 6 weeks... 37.5 lbs in 10 weeks!

"I first walked inside The Center for Medical Weight Loss not knowing how what to expect or how it works. I've lost 29 lbs so far with this program!! I strongly recommend the program, your "counselor" talks to you, inspires, motivates and helps you throughout your "diet." Every week, for six weeks, you visit and see how well your doing after your 6 weeks you come every 2 weeks and get a regular check up. It's worth every dollar! I'm glad Dr. Carreon decided to do this program! Thank you! Ladies!" Projected weight loss: 16 lbs Actual weight loss: 29 lbs In 10 weeks

The Center for Medical Weight Loss is by far the best weight loss program I've tried. I've tried South Beach, Weight Watchers, Nutri-System, among many others and had little or no success. I noticed great results within the first week at the Center for Medical Weight Loss and my results keep improving at each monthly visit. The staff is very informative and supportive. It's nice to have this great group of people to support you along the way. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is seriously wanting or needing to lose weight. You need to have the will and they will show you the way and provide support the entire journey. Projected Weight Loss: 17 lbs; Actual Weight Loss: 38.5 In 15 weeks

The monitoring and support that CMWL provided helped me to do more than attain my goal. My part was to exercise, I walked daily and did a few crunches, and watch my calories. It wasn't difficult at all. Projected: 25lbs; Actual: 50lbs In 12 weeks

Initially when I found out the amount of calories I was gonna be allowed to consume on a daily basis I expressed concern to my counselor about me not thinking I would be able to continue dropping pounds once I was able to eat real food!! She assured me that my mind would adjust to the diet and become consciences of my daily caloric intake. Low and behold she was absolutely right, I am now down 26 lbs and very much aware of what goes in my mouth and the fact that it is extremely important to get my weekly workouts in, which help to burn calories. This is the best diet I've ever tried, compared to Nutri-System and Weight-Watchers because it does work not only on the body but on your mind as well.

"For the last 2 years I've been trying to loose 20-25 pounds that I gained from my third pregnancy. Exercise and eating healthy were not producing the results I'd hoped. Since I was on the verge of heart disease, I then realized that I needed help. Within 6 weeks of being on the plan, I had met my goal. The staff were very helpful not to mention patient, understanding, and supportive. Projected Weight Loss 10 lbs - Total Weight Loss 19.5 lbs

"My sister and best friend were visiting in March 2008 and it was during their visit I finally admitted to myself that I was fat. While having dinner with my mom and friend I realized I had eaten my entire dinner and was contemplating seconds while they had barely touched their meals. My sister has always been thin and very disciplined about portion control, healthy eating and exercise. As I watched her during her visit I finally knew there was no more denying it I was 20lbs over my normal weight! I had been in denial since 2001. I retired from the Army in 2001 and gained some weight during the first year of my retirement but I really started to "pack it on" in 2005. We moved that year and I started working as an Indoor Cycling instructor. I was an exercise leader how could I gain weight?!! Early 2006 we also found out we would be adopting a baby in 2006. How exciting and of course I ate to celebrate our upcoming adoption. On March 19, 2008 I told my husband I was out of control and needed professional help. I had tried unsuccessfully to drop the 20lbs since moving to Texas in 2006. Always supportive, my husband went on-line and told me to call The Center for Medical Weight Loss and make an appointment to see Dr. Carreon. I called as soon as he gave me the phone number and made an appointment for that afternoon. I am so happy I called and took my husband up on his Mother's Day gift and his acknowledgement of my plea for help. The staff here is fabulous! I think the counselors have all tried the products; they know what I was going through. It really helps knowing they have experienced the program also. Everyone is very supportive and realistic with expectations and goals. I even had a session with a Personal Trainer who helped me plan an exercise and muscle building program that would work for me and meet my own needs! The most incredible thing about this program is I had a chance to identify my eating issues in a healthy way. For example I often snacked while preparing meals and then ate the meal as well. While on the program I did not snack during meal preparation and I realized I didn't need to. I was ok with just cooking and not eating. I also realized late night TV is a real trigger for me to engage in mindless eating. During the program I went to bed earlier, didn't watch as much night time TV, and actually slept better at night. I get more sleep and felt great when I woke in the morning.The plan is quite easy to follow, eating five times a day. The staff were especially helpful if I had to vary my eating plan due to trips or visitors. I've lost 16.5 lbs and have started to do some mini triathlons again. I plan to compete in a half marathon in November 2008. I'm wearing a swimsuit again and going to mommy and me classes at the pool. Most importantly I am now an example of a healthy, physically fit woman for my daughter as she grows. Projected Weight Loss 9lbs - Total Weight Loss 16.5lbs
