Physician's Way Weight Loss

Just 15 more to go!

by Gettingstronger at Citysearch

I was 5'2 230 pounds once and lost it with the help of Dr. Leggett 20 years ago. I was on a maintenance program and remained between 120 - 130 until I had children. After the birth of my second son I was 180 but got back down to 120 and maintained that weight for 2 years. Dr. Leggett passed away and I had no idea where to go for help. I slowly started gaining weight again and with it my self esteem and self contempt started to eat me up until I was stuffing down so much food I was gaining 5 pounds a month. It is a double ended sword.. the more you gain - the worse you feel - the more you eat for comfort. It's hard to break the cycle. Thank God for Dr. Kelly and his staff! (Thank you so much) I thought I would never again find a Doctor and staff who understood not only the physical reasons for weight gain but also understood the emotional reasons. In a few months I was working out 4 days a week and that made such a difference for my mind set. I also had help with appetite control and healthy eating guidelines. I have lost 24 pounds and have only 20 more to go before I can start to fit in my "healthy and fit" sized clothes again. Because I'm an emotional eater my weight loss has been slow.. with a number of set backs... but Dr. Kelly and his staff never makes me feel shame and always encourages me onward. It's about not giving up.. not how long it takes. Some people can lose tons of weight in months.. some in years... you just have to keep going.. one pound at a time. Even if it is only a pound a month. In the long run you will win the battle and learn a new healthy life style.

Most of us will never look like pin-up models but we can look healthy, fit and strong... and the older you get.. the more rare and valuable that becomes. Nothing is more beautiful than healthy.. when it comes down to the bottom line.

Do something great for yourself!

A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Kelly. And I thank my friend every time I talk to her. I have struggled with my weight most of my adult life and have tried every diet in the book. Dr. Kelly and his staff are wonderful and very supportive. I have lost 60 pounds in 5 months. And have had some very difficult life-changing events in my life and their encouragement and support have been very valuable to me both in my weight loss and personally. I feel great and my self esteem has increased dramatically. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kelly, Sherrill and Nesha. They are wonderful and caring people. Thank you, Dr. Kelly and ladies. They have changed my life (for the better).

• Pros: living healthy and happy everyday
• Cons: none

Great Weight Loss Clinic!

Since the very first day Sheryl and Dr. Kelly were very nice and helpful with lots of information and guidance for the success of my experience with them. They showed me with examples what I needed to do and they were always there for me to answer any questions. The fact that a real doctor was checking my progress gave me a big peace of mind. This is the very first time that I have learned a lot of stuff and I have been able to follow it because I understood it. There is no magic pill or program that will make you loose the weight from one day to the next one, but Sheryl's motivation and Dr. Kelly's advices were very helpful. I have adopted new things for my diet and I have changed my way of eating for the rest of my life and I know I am doing it the healthy way. Even for my own family I am trying to eat healthy and exercise to be able to set for them a good example. I love that you are in and out in 20 minutes. I hardly ever waited and when I had questions or concerns about my diet, they were always nice to listen to me. I lost 18 lbs and I am keeping it off. I feel GREAT! my old clothes fit me and I have been buying new pants size 6 and sometimes size 4! I am really happy I took the time and went to visit Physician's Way. Their snacks, smoothies and bars are very good and they are the best in the market. I thought they were a bit pricey, but comparing name brands, they are about the same price as the ones you can find at Whole Foods or any other store. Every week I get the pretzels, the chips and my favorites are the Peanut Butter bars.

Dr. Kelly and Sheryl make a great team because they really care about their patients.

THANK YOU!
