If there is a diet plan out there, I have tried them all! I have been overweight most of my life; I use food to comfort me, celebrate with, and ease boredom. 6 months ago, I decided enough was enough and realized that if I was going to live the life, I was dreaming of I needed to take control of my eating and my weight, so I decided to start researching medically supervised weight loss clinics. I found Thinworks in Palm Beach Gardens on Yelp and was very encouraged by the reviews. I called and spoke with Sara, the office manager, and she patiently explained how the program works and was compassionate to me when I was transparent about my eating. I was happy to hear her say "This isn't a magic program, the success you have depends on you, but we have many, many success stories with women just like you." I booked my appointment for the next available time. I was greeted warmly and Tahisha took all my vitals and blood. Afterwards, Cindy who would be my main weight loss coach, came in and explained again how the program works and went over my goals and my preassessment I did online. Based on that she recommended a plan that would save me money in the long run and suggested I get additional blood work run to see if my hormones where off balance. My hormones were off balance, so I opted for the hormone rebalancing and noticed a huge difference in my appetite, moods, energy and sleeping within 72 hours. Yes, they prescribe appetite suppressants to help curb my cravings and my appetite, but every week they check my vitals to make sure that they are not harming me. Since I started the program, I have lost 35 pounds, and found that even on the days I forget to take my medication, I am in more control over food. Every week Cindy discusses with me my victories and losses and offers suggestions to continue to be successful. One of the added benefits is I have more mental clarity, I am more focused, and my joints don't hurt nearly like they used to. Last week I went in and I was up a pound; but Cindy explained to me that I had gained 2 pounds of water and lost 1/2 pound of fat, so the pound that showed up on the scale was water weight (the scale they use is amazing with what it measures!!!). She explained to me the different possibilities of why I may have gained the water weight and ways of getting back on track; I left encouraged, which goes a long way to not turning to food for comfort! You get reward bucks for every week you lose weight, which can be used for a variety of things, I like to use them for the delicious chocolate mint candies and chocolate protein bars (those bars are a savior for me when I am traveling!) The staff is warm, friendly, and feels like an extended family, and they are just as excited about my success as I am. If you are someone who has struggled with your weight, I highly suggest Thinworks in Palm Beach Gardens.
