Amy

Prior to gaining 60 pounds, Amy never felt poorly or uncomfortable. With the extra 60 pounds, she found exercise hurt her joints, she was dealing with pre-diabetes, and she was still unable to do what she loved doing. It was time to get the weight off to improve her quality of life, improve her health, and get back to actively showing dogs. Referred to CONCI by her doctor, Amy was very comfortable with a meal replacement diet. She liked the fact that the program is tailored to each patient. She liked the personal touch. Being medically monitored during her weight loss was reassuring to her.

Amy approached her weight loss differently than most patients. She wanted to focus on how she was feeling rather than a number on a scale. For this reason, she asked the staff to tell her what she weighed only once each month rather than weekly. 

“Since I focused on how I felt, I noticed right away when my joints weren’t painful anymore. Two months into the program, I had more energy. After 3 months, I was not only able to be more active, I WANTED to be more active!”
