Mark’s 70 lbs Weight Loss

It’s hard enough staring down the big 60 without the sudden realization your body was breaking down under stress from an excessive lifestyle. In the last few years I had seen my doctor for high blood pressure, suddenly waking from sleep with sweats/rapid breathing, severe/recurrent acid reflux, frequent headaches, and constant stuffed sinuses. Beyond the physical issues was a declining self image caused by 44″ pants that were too tight and having to see what I looked like getting out of the shower. I knew I was in denial as I hadn’t been on the home scale in years.

In August 2008 I was diagnosed with adult onset diabetes and placed on more medicine. I was now taking pills for blood pressure, diabetes, and acid reflux every day. The diabetes really scared me as my father died in his late 70’s from heart failure brought on my complications from adult diabetes. During that fateful visit my doctor said either lose weight or be on pills the rest of your life.and by the way that life will be 10 years or more shorter. Even with that it took a few weeks to call SWLC and make my initial appointment, but I did and it has given me a new life.

“Here I am 6 months later and I have lost the weight I needed to, and I only take a baby aspirin for daily medicine. My blood pressure and sugar levels have receded to normal ranges. My wife loves that I do not snore anymore, as I sleep through the night with clear sinuses. My acid reflux has not recurred in 4 months. In addition I am walking every day and able to do strenuous activities again. The only disappointment is that my golf game has declined, because I am swinging around a belly that is no longer there.”

Losing weight was a daily challenge, but the structured program with weekly classes really helped. What I really came to appreciate was the non judgmental nature of the program. They help you find the plans, tactics, and motivations that work for you. They also make it very clear keeping the weight off will be by far my biggest challenge, and that I have not heard the last of the habits that caused my weight gain. I hope 5 years from now I can still say I am controlling my weight. The foundation I built at SWLC gives me every chance for that to happen.

We would like to congratulate Brent for all his incredible success here at Scottsdale Weight Loss Center! Since beginning the program here, Brent has lost an astounding 111 lbs. He has dramatically reduced his body fat percentage from 34.7% to 15.8%. He has lost a total of 12.5 inches in his hips and 14.5 inches in his waist. Brent has dramatically improved his health and lifestyle and has successfully reached his weight loss goals. Brent was referred here in May 2009 by his doctor and here is what he had to say about his experience here:

“My cholesterol and blood pressure had reached extremely unhealthy levels. My doctor recommended Scottsdale Weight Loss Center. I made an appointment. What the program offered clicked with me- unlike any program I had looked at or tried before. For the first time a program made sense to me: the right combination of diet, exercise, education and support.”.

“I now weigh the least of my four brothers. I ran a 5k last week- for the first time in my life. I now wear the same size shirts as my 21 year old son. People I have known for many years don’t recognize me. I don’t recognize myself when I catch a glimpse of me in the window. My wife looks at me with a twinkle in her eye and a sly smile on her face. But best of all: I am expecting to be around for my wife and kids for a very, very long time!”

Scottsdale Weight Loss Center is the best thing I’ve done for my health. I am off the hypertension medications I was on. I want to thank Dr. Primack and Lynne for their support and encouragement.

“At the Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, it is a team effort from everyone working there and the classes helped me learn about food and food cravings. I am a big fan of the Biggest Loser TV show but, it’s not that impressive anymore. I have more energy and I feel great without the extra weight I was carrying around on my body and now I look forward to exercising.”
