In the 'Before' picture, I weighed 250 lbs.! The 'After' photo is me now, at about 175 lbs. With hard work, knowledge and determination, I have been able to lose weight and keep it off. You can too! Just remember, struggling with weight loss is not a personality flaw!

"As Obese as I was, I never saw myself as large as I was until the vacation pictures at Nags Head, North Carolina. I could not believe the image of me. I needed guidance and Dr. Powell and staff prescribed the guidance needed."

"I believe my success is due to a combination of everything offered by Dr. Powell's office—the information, encouragement, and making me accountable."

"I needed to lose weight and didn't want to do a diet! Diets don't work! You go on and off diets. I tried to cut portions and cut back on my goodies. My husband Gary and I are doing this as a lifestyle change. Our mutual support helped us lose and maintain our new weight together."

"Physician's Plan taught me to lose weight by:
1. Drinking less alcohol.
2. Decreasing the amount of food I was eating.
3. Learning the truth about food, the amounts and the type of food I was eating."

"This program helped me lose over 36 pounds by retraining my eating habits. Learning to log my food and keep track of my food intake was a very helpful part of Dr. Powell's counseling."

"Physician's Plan taught me how to be a healthier person. It's a total lifestyle change that I will continue the rest of my life. Dr. Powell taught me how to eat properly, and I am very grateful for this program."

"Focus, determination, motivation and education are what made my weight loss so huge."

"I have learned from Dr. Powell and his staff that obesity is a chronic medical illness. It is not as simple as to stop eating and go exercise! I have learned so much more about myself, beyond nutrition. This is a permanent change."

"I've learned a lot about myself and how poor my nutrition was before I came to Dr. Powell. I'm a working college student and with my busy schedule, I wasn't taking time to take care of my body. Now I am—and it shows!"
 

"The supportive office staff and excellent nutritional counseling were the things that helped me be so successful and reach my weight loss goals."

"Dr. Powell’s program helped me lose over 150 pounds. More importantly, it’s going to help me keep it off.

"I have now lost 36 pounds and am still losing. Physician's Plan worked for me because the program taught me to eat in order to lose weight."

"The fact that I am never hungry is what keeps me on the program. I have learned what being "not hungry, not full" feels like and it is so easy to stay there by eating good protein, fat and carbs every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. In addition, seeing the weight disappear has been very motivating. And, if it weren't easy, I wouldn't do it."
