weight loss and accountability

Often I am asked what part of our program is "most" important. Phentermine certainly reduces appetite...we know that alone, studies on phentermine show about a 1.2 pound weight loss per work, yet our program produces an average of 2.5 pounds, so is the Serotonin-Plus the key? Or, is it the need to come in for weekly visits for accountability?

The answer, I believe is that ALL aspects of the program are important, and most definitely, having to come in for weekly visits, getting on the scale in front of our medical person, and discussing the issues of the week is a vital aspect of our program or any program.

How can we help you develop a "self-accountability" behavior pattern that allows you, when you leave the formal program visits, to maintain this sense of accountability? Certainly, first and foremost is requiring yourself to write down your weight once a week on a sheet that allows you to see the weight measurement for every week before. Perhaps developing a "reward" system (or punative if you respond to that better) based on your weight loss efforts..example: when you reach certain goals, you allow yourself to get a massage, a piece of jewelry or some other reward that you will not indulge yourself with until you reach that goal.

Does paying money for weight loss results make us more motivated? Meaning, when you come here and spend lots of hard earned money, do you mentally feel more drive to not waste the money and therfore get results?

Self-accountability is the key for maintaining your weight loss. Feel free to come in and use our scale once a week after your visits are finished. Perhaps that will provide a sense of accoountability without spending any more money!
