Physician's Way Weight Loss

Mini-Skinny

by aeroskinny at Citysearch

physician's way really works! this is not a diet for six months or a quick weight loss program. the people at this place help you change your lifestyle. why would anyone want to get to their ideal weight just to end up heavier than before they lost it? doesn't make sense does it. all i have to say is that i have learned how to eat how to eat right, and how to exercise. it has been 4 1/2 months and i am close to 40 pounds lighter. no i did not cut carbs, fat, or ANY food groups. i still eat pizza, burgers, and ice cream...i just learned how to eat those things, and physician's way taught me. if there's a will, there's a way....take a shot. if you're worried about the money, listen to this. my husband said it was going to be a waste of money if it didn't work, but now that it has, he is signing up at the beginning of the year! and we are a single-family income (i am a UT student). just make sure you are ready for a change - a lifelong change...

dr. kelley and cheryl are truly concerned for people's health. they always have smiles and treat everyone with respectful encouragement. call them up if you're serious about weight loss and living a happy, healthier life - for real!!!!

• Pros: always in and out, but if you need to talk, they are always willing to take longer...

It is wonderful to get a review that reinforces what we really want to accomplish: 'Lifestyle Change!'

We want patients to learn how to manage the eating environment in which we all live. It is not about starvation and deprivation, but rather learning to focus on eating the foods that fuel one's body in the best possible way. Appetite suppressant medication, such as phentermine can help, but the real power of managing one's appetite, as well as metabolism, comes from changing the patterns which may have been ingrained since childhood. We live in an unprecedented food environment, where we have access to high calorie, poor nutrient foods, which often taste really good and may also be relatively inexpensive. To be successful, we have got to learn to manage what we put in our bodies, despite all the 'distracting foods' which are so prevalent at every turn and eat the best nutrition possible.

Thanks so much for your review!

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.

• Pros: People who understand life
• Cons: none

Do something great for yourself!

by austintxgirl at Citysearch

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!

by Bouchot at Citysearch

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!

Healthy Lifestyle

by Princess2 at Citysearch

I started with Physicians Way before Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2008 and have lost 31 pounds and amd down to a size 6 so far. I made it thru both holidays without falling off the wagon because I was given a healthy way of eating and do not crave the things I used to, such as desserts. I am on maintenance now and can lose more if I choose to do so. I have been able to maintain the weight loss and fees so much better without the extra pounds.

Dr. Kelly and his wife are always helpful and courteous and make me feel good about the progress I have made. I highly recommend them to anyone wishing to loose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Just give Dr Kelly a try

by terilyn12 at Citysearch

i have lost over 40 pounds so far and have about 20 to go. From the first time you walk in, everyone makes you feel comfortable -- never judged. Along with the B12, which is super, there are many supplements you can choose to use, or not- you are never pressured. I am so glad I made that first call!

• Pros: They will make you feel so comfortable while u lose
• Cons: none

We are so happy with your success! Though we want all of our patients to succeed and reach their goals, we never want anyone to feel pressured in any way, so it is nice to hear that we provide a comfortable setting. Along with B12 and other supplements we carry, which we believe can be helpful, the most powerful 'Supplement' that we encourage is Accountability. Weekly weigh-ins help keep our patients focussed and on track. Thank you for your dedication and commitment and thank you for your review!

Healthy lifestyle at a reasonable price!

by goldmans6 at Citysearch

We could not be happier with our experience at Physicians Way. My wife and I worked with Dr. Kelley and in eight weeks we lost a combined 30 pounds! The best news is that we both kept the weight off. Healthy eating habits and education is what led to our success.

I think the best part of our experience at Physicians Way is Dr. Kelley gave us the tools and the knowledge to continue leading a very healthy lifestyle.

If you need to loose weight or just want live a healthier lifestyle Physicians Way is a must!!

Jerry and Heather Goldman

• Pros: Great service....very friendly. They made us very comfortable the second we walked in the door.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by usetobeheheavy at Citysearch

I have been on this plan for 4 weeks and have lost weight and inches, I have done alot of diets and weight loss plans but this one is the best by far! Dr Kelley and Sheryl have tons of knowledge and they are very simple. There is no stress in their office, they are very much into helping the customer with the goals they want to accomplish and they are right behind you. Infact they are just excited about your weight loss as you are when you walk in there weekly and the weight is falling off !! I like the weekly meeting knowing you are accomplishing something on your own as you walk in and out of there. Thanks to the both of you for having the heart to see people come to a level of confidence in themselves due to the weight loss and yall cheering us on and walking thru this one step at a time all the way to the goal!!!!

• Pros: it works, friendly staff, very knowledgable,affordable

We Are definately excited when our patients succeed, lose weight and increase their level of fitness. We know how much of a struggle it can be. Patients don't always realize how much they motivate us, in the process of getting where they want to go. There is no greater privilege than to be a part of helping you get healthier!

Thankyou for your comments:)

Do something for yourself and gain self confidence

by KTLF24 at Citysearch

Physician's Way is by far the best thing I've done for myself in years. Sheryl is so great to me, she remembers me, encourages healthy weight loss, and doesn't judge. She's helped me make the right decisions in my food choices. I've tried every other option out there and this works. I've been on it for a month and have lost weight and inches, and gained so much self confidence. Dr. Kelley will talk to me, and tell me the facts about how I'm doing. They're both trully genuine in what they do and it works!!

This program is for everybody...Whether its 5 or 100lbs.

• Pros: B12 shots, affordable, weekly weigh ins

Anthony Robbins has said something to this effect, 'confidence is not something that you are born with and either have or don't have.....it is something that we all develop and nurture based on the actions we choose to take each day'

By setting goals to improve one's health, lose weight and become more fit, it is always so exciting for us to see many of our patients confidence and personality blossum, as they reach various milestones.

Keep it up!......We are cheering for you!

So Glad I picked up the phone!

by Shari1974 at Citysearch

I'm so glad I made the decision to call the office. Both Dr. Kelley and Sheryl have been wonderful! The program and weekly visits keep me motivated and accountable. I'm a single mother of 3 and have finally found a program that is not only affordable but works. I never thought I might look forward to Dr. visits, but due to the time, care, concern and support of the this office this has become a normaly weekly routine that I enjoy. By far the best decision I've made this year!

• Pros: Great program, office and individual care!

We know that time and cost are at a premium for most of our patients. We are always striving for ways to keep our program affordable, since weight management is often not covered by insurance. We also realize that many of our patients are mothers with children to care for and we try our best to make your visits efficient and expeditious.

Thanks for your dedication and your kind comments!
