My Weight Loss Story

The beginning may sound a little familiar. You become an adult, get a job, get married, have children, next thing you know you start putting on a few pounds – every year. Before you know it you’re 45 lbs overweight. You think to yourself, how did this happen, I have to do something. That’s what happened to me.

So I decided to research the best way for me to lose weight. After some research I decided on one of the diet plans where you get to eat 6 meals a day (because I really hate being hungry). You purchase pre-packaged food from them. The food was not very tasty, but I stuck it out for 4 months and lost 30 lbs. At that time I thought I really need to get off this for a while, I’ll come back to it later and lose the rest of the weight. But after I got off their prepared food, no matter how hard I tried, I started putting the weight back on.

A year and a half later, and 15 pounds heavier, I decided to tackle the problem again. A few medical issues had crept into my life and I needed to be more serious about losing the weight and keeping it off. I realized this time going on a diet with prepacked special foods was useless, because as soon as I started eating real food again I would start putting the weight back on. I needed a lifelong solution. That’s when I found Chesapeake Weight Loss. I was convinced when I watched the Medical Weight Loss Seminar video on their website. It explained a lot about the program. You can go to their website and check it out yourself: http://www.chesapeakeweightloss.org/

I can’t say enough about the staff and program at Chesapeake Weight Loss. They have a Medical Weight Loss program that was perfect for me. Everyone who works there was non-judgmental, extremely helpful and understanding.

The program teaches you how to eat real food and lose weight. No more expensive, bad tasting prepackaged foods.

The program is presented in steps – you learn what you should be doing a little bit at a time, so it is not overwhelming. You keep making small changes and they add up to a big result. And it was all about finding the right solution for me. As an example, I don’t care for fish very much, never have. I was expecting them to say you have to eat a lot of fish, it’s part of the plan. Instead they pointed out the vitamins I was missing by not eating fish (so I take a supplement) and we worked with the items I like to eat. I liked that it was structured with steps to keep me moving forward, but flexible enough to adjust to my needs.

I liked that they not only weighted me, they measured me often – seeing the results of my efforts in numbers was a real morale booster and kept me on track.

Now that I have reached my goal weight I’m excited to explore Chesapeake Weight Loss Aesthetics. It sounds like body sculpting may be my next/final step in having the body I want. Stay tuned for my next story…
