Kat – 16 lb. weight loss
Posted: Jul 12 in Patient Results tagged Adolescent Weight Loss by admin
“Kat” has lost 16 pounds. She started our program 2/16/10 w/ Dr Scinta’s BOUNCE Program. Kat is now at maintenance with a normal %BMI! She has just finished playing softball for her HS and is now playing for a travel team.
My name is Kat and I am 15 years old. When I was younger I realized that I was a little different from the other girls in my school. I was overweight and had to go to the school based health clinic more frequently to check on my high cholesterol problem. I am very self-conscious about the way I look and the way my body looks. So after trying different things and playing multiple sports the NP at the school clinic suggested that I go see Dr. Scinta.
When I first met with Jen I learned that they could help me lose weight and get control of my cholesterol. After different tests I learned that I was insulin resistant. With this information I went home and tried the program out. I was eating 4 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, a small snack, and dinner. I soon realized that it wasn’t all that hard. It wasn’t a diet, but a life style change that has helped everyone in my family.
I had great support from everyone (Dr. Scinta, the girls in the office, and my family), and seeing the extra weight come off me was a great feeling too. In the end I had lost the weight I was looking to lose. I even lost more pounds of fat then in my actual weight. I am very proud of myself and am starting to become less self-conscious. I would like to thank Dr. Scinta and everyone at the office for helping me succeed at something I have been fighting for my entire life.

Thanks to Dr. Scinta and her wonderful staff my weight is now approaching 200 pounds, my body fat percentage is getting close to being in the healthy range, my blood pressure is normal, as are all my other levels. I am now able to play with my kids without being out of breath and sweating. My kids keep asking when my diet is going to be over. I tell them my diet ended in December and this is my new lifestyle. My lifestyle has had a positive impact on my family as well. My boys are more aware of the food they eat and are making healthier choices to be like their Dad and my wife has started to workout as well.

Obesity is my normal. I grew up in a family where everyone was overweight and no one really talked about it. It was not condoned, but it was accepted. To me, obesity was just an inconvenience.
And then, life hit me. I had gone to college, gotten married, and enjoyed life very much. When I “grew up”, I realized that I wanted a family. With my chosen career path as a Labor & Delivery nurse, I knew that my weight was a major risk factor to a healthy pregnancy.

I had been overweight my entire life – and then I found Dr. Scinta, and my life completely changed!
I come from a history of obesity. Growing up, both my parents were overweight, and their bad habits passed on to my sister and I. I was overweight as a child and into my teens. My first attempt at getting the weight off was when I was 14. I had just moved to a new school, and I realized that other kids didn’t like me because I was fat.
