Dr. Stern, Jean and Laura,

                       I cannot begin to thank you enough for what you have done for me.  I'm so thankful a friend of mine and also a patient of yours, told me about your clinic.  You all have truly changed my life.  Your program is wonderful and I would recommend you all to anyone who desires to lose weight and is willing to change their lifestyle.  I love how you all are so honest and always make me feel so comfortable.  It's unbelievable how much better I feel just in general, since losing the weight.  Before, I thought I was hot natured, but now I realize it was the extra 50 pounds making me so hot.  I sleep better at night.  I can actually go shopping for clothes and enjoy it, before it was hard to find anything I liked that fit.  It has also helped boost my self esteem.  There are so many other little things that I find it easier to do now, than before.  Changing the way I eat wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.  I told myself in the beginning how it was going to be and so far I have stayed true to myself.  I haven't had a coke, Chinese food or any form of pizza since the day I started the program in June and those are my weakness!  It has taken some major will power I will admit, but after a little while of going without certain foods or drinks, it just becomes a part of everyday life and it doesn't bother me.  Another thing that helped me was seeing the quick results when I would weigh every morning.  That would motivate me even more to do good and not cheat.  There isn't one single thing about my experience with you all that I would change or take back.  I am so thankful that there are people like you all that are willing to help people that got into the situation I did with being overweight and at a reasonable cost!  I have recommended your clinic to a lot of people and will always continue to do so.  Again, thank  you all so much for helping me become and feel like the'old' me again!

Sincerely,

Heather York
