After reaching 49, and having carried excessive weight for over 20+ years, I assumed this was the way it was supposed to be. Boy was I wrong! Reached my goal weight, I have not been this weight since I got married!
R. Montes
I transfered from another local clinic after thinking that I was unable to loose weight with Semaglutide. A friend recommended I go talk to Gloria. I started loosing 5-10 lbs a month after transferring. I feel the best I have felt in years.
A. Williams
I was worried about the program. Surprisingly I do not feel deprived. I now know how to eat without constantly obsessing. It has been a game changer, 25lbs down and still loosing.
