Making a Resolution to Lose Weight in the New Year

Posted: Dec 28 in Blog by

Here we are again with another new year fast approaching. The most popular New Year’s resolution is losing weight, but the problem is that most people don’t have a weight loss plan. Using a weight loss plan in New York can make the difference between failure and success. If you go on a diet January 1st, you are setting yourself up to fail, but if you change your attitude and lifestyle January 1st, you’re well on your way to success.

Rich – 221 lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: Nov 18 in Patient Results by

Welcome to my wonderful world of weight loss. My battle began decades ago when I was a scrawny seven year old and had a tonsillectomy. Right afterwards the weight started piling on, year after year. Matters weren’t helped any by having a sedentary job (at a commercial bakery, no less) and spending a fortune at fast food restaurants (their stock price probably went up every time I stopped by for a meal).

Cynthia – 64 lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: Sep 12 in Patient Results by

My name is Cynthia, I’m a 53 year old mother of one and wife of 23 years. I’m a short 5’1”, and until a year ago, very overweight. When I began dieting, I weighed 224 lbs. I wore 2x clothing and a size 7 shoe. I began going to Dr. Scinta’s Weight Loss Clinic in June 2010. I just had my final doctor’s appointment on July 26, 2011. I had gone to Dr. Scinta’s office in Manlius every Tuesday night for more than half a year. Most of Dr. Scinta’s patients stay in her full program 14 weeks. I didn’t know how I’d stay on that diet for 14 weeks, the end of September.

Dawn – 76 lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: Aug 11 in Patient Results by

My name is Dawn and I started my program at the end of August, 2010. I had battled weight issues all my life: lost it, regained it…constantly on a see-saw of ups and downs, both physical and emotional. I even had my stomach stapled in 1986, losing 85 pounds but not changing my normal eating style of grazing on small amounts of unhealthy, high fat/high carb foods all day. It was a perfect method of “bypassing” the surgery which is intended to stop a person from eating a large amount of food at one time, and it certainly worked, because the weight went back on over the years. I’ve had many attempts at weight loss since then, sometimes losing 30 or 40 lbs, but always gaining it back because I made no changes in my lifestyle.

Bud – 55 lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: May 10 in Patient Results by

Over the last 10 years or so I have gained a lot of weight. It wasn’t till the last year that it really started bothering me. Two cholesterol tests were done over a six month time period which revealed my cholesterol levels had substantially increased. As a result, I ended up on cholesterol medication. Other concerns included being embarrassed about going out and not wanting to go out into public, ashamed of my appearance, coming to terms with the fact that I am not fit, the lack of cloths in stores that would fit me and look good on me, and not wanting to have my picture taking due to my “horrible” appearance.

Cindy – 62 lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: Apr 11 in Patient Results by

I was never so honored when I was asked to write about my weight loss experience, clearly this should be the easy part. Until now I sit here and try to put it on paper. You see unlike a lot of people being overweight wasn’t a challenge I had my whole life (just most of my adult life). Five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I went into the chemotherapy and then radiation literally fighting for my life. So you’d think losing weight would be “a piece of cake” compared to that. Already over weight when diagnosed and radiation destroying my thyroid my weight continued to go up.

Sonji – 80lbs. Weight Loss

Posted: Mar 10 in Patient Results by

After sending my youngest child off to kindergarten in September 2009, I realized it was time to do something for myself! I had gained 100 pounds over the past 10 years and had had enough! I had tried just about every diet program out there and failed, I knew I needed something different! I didn’t need a diet I needed to change my life style. I had heard good things about Dr. Scinta at Medical Weight Loss of NY, so I called and made an appointment to hear what they were all about. I was very impressed with how nice and friendly everyone was. I chose the Partial Program and started my journey on September 24th!

Cheryl and Steve – 138 lbs. Weight Loss Combined

Posted: Feb 01 in Patient Results by

I have always struggled with weight my whole life; Cheryl has only had an issue with it in adulthood. In the fall of 2009 we were both losing control of our weight and, for me, it was starting to cause some real health issues. I had recently been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, had sleep apnea, and high cholesterol. Cheryl had high cholesterol, and had lost control too. We were both the heaviest we had ever been and knew we needed help. I was referred to Dr. Scinta and we visited an info session the week after Christmas 2009. We looked each other in the mirror and made the commitment to each other and ourselves to both go on the full Optifast program and started the first week in January 2010.

Kathy K – 100 lb. Weight Loss

Posted: Dec 14 in Patient Results by

Being overweight, like other people, has been a struggle all my life. There were times that I had my weight under control, but then some event would trigger me to eat out of control again and up my weight would go.
