Weight Loss....stopping the "yo-yo"

This week we saw many people who came back to us...people who lost lots of weight several years ago and then, over time, put almost all the weight back on. A few thoughts on this: 1- this is the NORMAL.....most people will not/cannot maintain their weight loss and 2- we understand this aspect of the human condition and do NOT "judge" or in any other way make people feel poorly about these lapses. We are here to help people get back on track and become healthier and happier.

I do implore you (and this has been a blog topic of mine repeatedly) to STOP the gain at 5 pounds...that is when you should pick up the phone and call us for a ONE TIME visit. This is not a 12-week program, a thousand bucks or anything like it...it is a one-time visit to help you refocus , get back on track and NOT let the situation get out of hand. PLEASE keep that clipboard next to your scale at home and record the weight weekly. Make your move at 5 pounds...do NOT allow the weight to go up, 20, 30, 40 etc.

Hope the rest of your weekend goes well!
